Mrs. Gardiner was a such a nice lady and will truly be missed by all of us at Noah's Ark. She and her husband have brought their sweet pups to us since they first got them 10 years ago. We had really gotten to know all 4 of them all very well. She was so caring. We all will keep all of her family and friends in our thoughts and prayers. If there is anything we can ever do, please let us know.

All of her friends at Noah's Ark Veterinary Hospital
