I would be remiss if I didn't acknowledge our friend, Kalie, who was not only our belove pet (read: Family Member), but also the inspiration for the name of our little company. We lost Kalie to cancer in March 2007 after nearly twelve years of joy and fun. She is deeply missed, but we try to keep her spirit alive here in the NCP offices by following her example of Moderation, tenacity, independence, creativity -- and plenty of naps. We love you, Kalie Belle!
