***************************************
We had a great time at the Best Friends No More Homeless Pets Conference and learned all sorts of great new ways to keep our artists and their animals together and their animals healthy!  We also made lots of wonderful new friends such as Hector pictured below.  He is a Michael Vick dog survivor and it was a great honor to spend some time with him.
