Thank you


I wanted to take a moment to thank all the people who have reached out to me over the last month over the death of my father James M. Barry II. My Dad was stricken with a cerebral hemorrhage in mid-January and over the course of 2 and a half weeks slowly slipped away from this world. 
While my family and I are consoled by the knowledge he is no longer suffering, this has been a tremendous loss. It has touched me profoundly to receive so many beautiful cards, gifts and tender messages from my Lucky Fiona family. Often I will be criticized by others that running this small collar business on such a hands on and personal level is a mistake. Veteran business people have told me that I need to back off, keep it all business and not get involved in people's dogs or their personal stories if I wish to find success. It's never been my style to not get invested in my clients, mainly because I am interested, I do care and I love to know about the dogs, cats and their people who enjoy Lucky Fiona products. 
I know I must be doing something right as I have been humbled by the kindness and heartfelt support you have given me. From beautiful words of condolence and stories from those who have walked this path, I have felt the love of the people I have served over the years through Lucky Fiona. I appreciate the understanding of why we had to shut the studio down so I could head back East and the patience you all have extended in understanding orders were delayed so I could be with my family in New York. 
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I truly love you all and look forward to the future of this little collar company and the Lucky Fiona family we have created. Orders are now being processed and shipped daily. All orders placed up till February 2nd were shipped yesterday and Collar of the Month subscribers are being shipped today, tomorrow and Saturday. Feb. 6th- Feb. 15th orders will be shipped Tuesday February 21st. As always, email any concerns to info@luckyfiona.com
Warmly,
  Shannon
