If anyone visited our shop today we apologize we were closed. Unfortunately we had to lay our sweet, sweet, precious,totally loved, Muffin to rest today and we just couldn’t work. She was a huge part of our family and many of you would come to the shop just to see her. It’s so hard to believe that 14 years of having such a wonderful, perfect companion … that it’s over in just one day. She loved everyone. Her favorite thing was to get in boxes and sleep, or lay on her pillows…. Or your pillows. She was such a joy. We will always love and miss her. There’s so much to say about her but my Kleenex box is empty.

We appreciate your understanding and bear with us as we find our new normal without her. We may have swollen eyes but we will be open tomorrow.
