Had been out of state and very sorry to hear of Lois's passing.
My father (who passed in 2005) supplied many of the little ceramic dogs that were proudly displayed on the SW 9th shelves. His three dogs and one of ours were regular customers. Lois had a special touch with dogs and will be missed by us. She is now reunited with those lost pets she dearly loved.
