Years ago we were gifted a beautiful wall quilt of our boys Pike and Rome from a talented client . If you have been to our office you have seen this beautiful quilt in our end exam room. We had this now heirloom quilt framed in Koa. A tribute to them and a daily reminder of their lives with us. Today we received another quilt of our Newton. Thank you Valerie Brewer for this incredible gift and sharing your talent of quilting with us.

If you are interested in having your pets portrait done please contact her. We are beyond grateful for ours. They are an incredible piece to art and a testament to her work in textiles.

Happy Sunday … Once again we have people who seem to not understand the concept of privately owned business and privately owned parking lot. Todays adventure some one renting out their vehicle and leaving it in our lot with a lock box on it for some one to pick up. We have video ( yes we have cameras everywhere) of the person dropping off and leaving it in our lot around 7:30am it is still Parked in our lot as of 11:00am. If you know this individual please let them know to call us. We have blocked the entrance so they can not leave the lot with out contacting us and will have the car towed today. Stay blessed.
