I met Susan in 2007 through her beautiful corded dog Rags. The first time she brought him in I almost cut off his ear. Rags was a corded dog and I mistook his ear for one of the cords. She was so kind and patient with me. As I was falling apart over the ear she was consoling me. She should have been upset and there she was telling me everything would be ok and it wasn’t so bad. That was when i knew that she was a special lady. She touched so many peoples lives. I always looked forward to visiting with Susan whenever she came to the shop. She will be missed by so many. Rest in Peace Susan with your wonderful Larry.
