Rex - Our Shop Dog & Best Friend
It is with a great deal of sadness we must report that Rex our Cocker Spaniel left us the day after Easter 2009. He came to work almost every day of this life from the ripe old age of 3 months until his death 14.6 years later. He never complained about the management or his clients, he never stayed home because he was lazy and wanted to skip work - in fact he beat us to the car every morning when it was time to leave for work. Rex had the pleasure of meeting many wonderful clients during his years; he would greet every one who came into our shop with a sniff, a wag of his little tail or maybe he'd bring them his ball. He used to lay on the carpet in the front window and several times through the years people turned their cars around and came into our store to see if he was a stuffed dog in the window; no, he was just waiting for me to come back from an appointment.
What a wonderful friend he was. Trixie, his companion the last two and one-half years has big PAWS to fill! Oh, we have a new puppy Teddy, who was born on March 26th, he is a nephew of Trixie's. But, Rex no one can take your place and we will always miss you!
