EVERYBODY was super friendly, accommodating and cooperative and seemingly determined to ensure my comfort and easy access. Everybody was also super friendly and receptive to Paxie, my 2 year old frisky Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. She loves meeting new friends. Thank you Telford, Gary and crew for your hard work and...
