    Lily, our beloved shop dog.

    Lily was adopted by Kristen and Mark through a Golden Retriever Rescue group when she was 7 years old. She loved helping her mom Kristen at work, chasing balls, and going to the racetrack with her parents. A beloved fixture in the gallery, it was often said she was much more popular than her human co-workers. Lily will always hold a special place in our hearts.
