In late March I started writing an “after quarantine” goal list for Wynston and I. It included fun items like go kayaking, add more product to our store, and travel somewhere.
Now, two months later, Arizona is finally “open” again. We can walk into stores, dine in at restaurants and get our hair and nails done. But Wynston and I are still on a personal “stay at home order.” We can’t go kayaking. We can’t travel. We can’t go on lunch dates.

Finding an abnormal spot on your dog’s skin or feeling a lump beneath the surface can quickly be examined and treated effectively when discovered sooner rather than later.
