With great sadness we would like to share that our two great friends Neffy and Cotton have passed from our lives. They were both incredible additions to this world and we will miss them every day.
We would like to thank you for always taking the time to say hello when passing by. Thank you for taking the time to stop and pat them on the head. Thank you for allowing them to follow you around and talk your ear off.
Thank you for enjoying them as much as we did and will continue to do.
