🥴 This weather is wild! We'll try for 1pm, but we may not make it into work today at all. Y'all stay safe!

‼️ EDIT #2: We won't open until *at least 9am*, and it'll most likely be later than that. We'll keep y'all posted! ‼️

‼️ EDIT: BOTH LOCATIONS ARE CLOSING AT 3PM TODAY (MONDAY) ‼️

Regarding the weather on Monday, January 15 and Tuesday, January 16:

The tentative plan is to open as usual on Monday, then close *both* clinics at 5:30. We may have a delayed opening on Tuesday, but as of now we aren't sure yet. We'll post on Facebook if we decide to open late on Tuesday.

Y'all stay safe and warm! ❄️❄️❄️
