He's 50% Airedale terrier, 50% Treeing Walker Coonhound, 100 % goofball. Katie is a highschooler who comes in once a week to clean.

They help with general cleaning and restocking. They're a knitting and spinning, college attending, cat loving, still deciding on a major, German speaking, happy kinda person. She now also spins and plays with weaving when time allows. She taught herself to crochet in college and when people started asking more questions about knitting than crocheting in the shop, she relearned to knit.
