Remembering Etta...

We are devastated to report that another furry member of our Hammertown family has crossed the rainbow bridge. The passing of Joan's constant companion (and Hammertown model extraordinaire) will leave an enormous hole in the hearts of our staff and so many of our customers who knew her.

ETTA WAS A WORKING GIRL AT HAMMERTOWN
(MOSTLY AS A MODEL)

COMFORTABLE WITH EVERYONE...EVEN CELEBRITY CUSTOMERS

 

Most people don't know this but Etta was a raging liberal who valued her freedoms. She was thrilled to meet Hillary when she visited Hammertown Barn.

UNTIL THEN, SLEEP WELL DEAREST ETTA
