In Loving Memory

Jess 
Office manager

Jess was our mixed breed elderly dog (Aussie Shepard, Kelpie, Mastiff, Pitbull, Pointer - who knows!).  Her experience in physical therapy came from her fused knees and low back which caused her to walk a bit funny, also known as the "Jiggy Jig".  She knew the importance of movement first hand to manage her arthritis.  

Regardless, she was one happy dog and gave lots of tail wags and licks if you got close! She will be forever loved and missed dearly.
