New additions to the Metropawlis team

Metropawlis is pleased to welcome two new members to our team--one four-legged and one two-legged!

The four-legged addition is  Te-Shi, a Shiba Inu puppy who joined the household of David and Sarah, brother and sister-in-law of Metropawlis's owners, Augie and Geri.  David and Sarah's first puppy, Taro, was part of the inspiration for Metropawlis, and now Te-Shi is adding to the inspiration.  You'll find pictures of Te-Shi and her "big brother," Taro, in the Pet Pix section of our Web site (along with dozens of other new shots of our customers' dogs and cats)!

Metropawlis is also pleased to be welcoming our first employee. Samantha Griffith is a long-time friend of Augie and Geri's (since before she can remember).  Samantha, who attends MSOE's School of Nursing, will be working Sundays and Mondays.
