The Brothers Jim run the Buddy Mutts Cafe, the restaurant where you are not allowed in without a dog. Because of the dogs, and Jim's dyslexia and Jim's Spooneristic tendencies, it's also referred to as Muddy Butts. [This isn't one of those "This is my brother, Jim, and this is my other brother, Jim" situations. They are not brothers to each other, but each IS a brother to somebody.]
They put in the "no person without a dog" rule because they thought it would keep customers away, and neither of them really wants to run a restaurant. Jim thinks of himself as a dulcimer dealer, and Jim as a sculptor, specializing in giant frozen persimmon sculptures, which is how he got into the restaurant business in the first place.
Of course, their plan to fail and use the cafe as a tax write-off backfired. Wide and far people bring their dogs from far and wide. Bessie Bandervilt has even opened a dog rental service for the un-dogged on her front porch next door to Buddy Mutts. Her dogs are of the stuffed variety, but the brothers Jim are too busy to notice. The real dogs are humiliated, though, and try to tear the stuffing out of their competitors, which adds another whole level of entertainment to dining there.
So they need another business for the tax write-offs. They are going to be kitchen design consultants. They are no more interested in designing kitchens than they are in cooking in them, but they can't resist the name for their new firm, Counter Intuitive.
