Sad News, A Beloved Loss...
Now for the sad news, our beloved collie/husky mutt Keesa died this summer. She spent the
last 13.5 years helping Bob here at the shop. She was very calm and gentle, a wonderful store
dog. Many of our customers can in just to see her. She became ill very suddenly and we put her
to sleep quickly. It was a very difficult time for the entire family. We didn't wast anytime in
finding a new pet (not that we can every replace Keesa), but a house just isn't a home without a
dog. Stop in at the shop and you can meet Tikka the Terrible. She is a pure bread collie puppy
with lots of energy and sharp puppy teeth. We are hopeful that she will calm down and make a
greate dive shop dog too.
