          Plymouth's Three Dog Bakery on
        
        
          Forest Avenue with his wife and son,

          “I get increased volume over that
        
        
          three-day period,” said Atkinson. “A lot
        
        
          of peoplewill bring their dogs down, so
        
        
          it's a nice place to warm up. We try to
        
        
          keep some extra treats on hand. It’s
        
        
          very dependent on the weather. We
        
        
          hope for cold, but not too cold and no
        
        
          rain.”
