Beau & Jenny, the cats - Our support staff and inspirational muses. They don't yet answer the telephone or make appointments for us. However, you can be sure when you hear the lilt in our voices, there is a good chance that at least one of them is doing something awfully silly and trying to act completely dignified in the process.
