Nora

Nora

Nora has been with our practice since 2020.  If you have never seen Nora, this may be due to the fact that she is a little on the shy side.  If you do spot her in the waiting room it is because she took a break from eating for a few minutes and wanted to come and say hello.  In her free time, Nora likes to eat, nap, eat and nap.  Nora is not a fan of dieting and being told what to do.  She does however love to be brushed.  She will usually come out when it's extremely quiet.
