Had to say goodbye to our wonderful Mamie yesterday. She gave us and all our customers so much love it was heartbreaking to say goodbye. She enjoyed each and every customer (sorry to those who were allergic and didn’t like cats!) and was so happy when you let her stay in your lap. We will miss her.
