Puppies make me smile

I think my favorite thing about my job are the puppies. If I could only see puppies all day, every day, I would be so happy. One of my great friends and her fiance just got a Golden Retriever puppy. He's already 27 pounds and only 12 weeks. He's going to be BIG! While they work out the mean guy vs nice guy routine, Emily is very strict and Ryan is a big baby, I just get to love on him all the time. Ryan wants the puppy to sleep in the bed, and Emily wants to move his crate out of the bedroom entirely! AS it is with all puppies, there is a lot to work through and a lot of patience required. He already took a bite out of the drywall!! I love this little pup and know I won't be able to hold him like this too much longer!!

Patient of the day

This poor kitty is named Chessie. She was just in for routine vaccines and an exam and was not too happy to see me. My assistant, Shannon, did a great job holding her for me but her facial expressions were priceless. The owner and his son actually sent this picture to me. No one wants to be a the vets on a Friday evening- patients included!!
