September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month, a cause that holds special meaning for us.

While veterinary medicine brings many moments of joy, it also carries unique emotional challenges. Studies have shown that veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and support staff are significantly more likely to die by su***de compared to the general population. Raising awareness and supporting mental health within our profession is critical.

AFSP Northeast Michigan Out of the Darkness Walk tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. This event provides an opportunity to come together as a community to raise awareness, share hope, and support those affected by su***de.

Most importantly, we want to emphasize that our clinic is a safe and supportive place. If you are struggling, please know that you are not alone. Resources and help are available, and your life matters.

Together, let us continue to support one another with compassion and kindness. You never know what someone else may be going through.🐾

💙A huge THANK YOU to Alpena Veterinary Clinic for donating senior dog food to help our newest little fighter, Molly!
🐾At only 3.25 lbs, Molly came to us very fragile and in need of lots of love and care. With the support of this donation, she’s slowly gaining strength, her sweet personality is starting to shine through, and she’s proving that no one is beyond saving, no matter how small.
💕We are so grateful for the kindness of our community and partners like Alpena Vet who help us give dogs like Molly the care she needs. 🐶✨
💙If you’d like to help pups like Molly on their journey to recovery, donations can be made through Zeffy or Venmo. Every little bit goes directly to the care of our rescues.

Blanche’s Weekly Check-In 🐾

I begged and begged Mom for a walk while she was busy with yardwork. I gave her my best “puppy eyes” until she finally caved. We went on a nice stroll… and let’s just say, I came home and passed out harder than Mom’s rake in the grass. 😴

✨Blanche’s Big Adventure✨
This weekend I went on my very first camping trip with my moms! ⛺️🌲

I supervised everything from picking the perfect spot on the camp chair (priorities, obviously) to relaxing by the crackling campfire where I got extra cozy. (Check out my video in the comments on how I picked the perfect seat 😂)

But the real excitement came when I tried out my brand-new life vest for a paddle boat ride! I was the captain, of course! I kept a sharp lookout for ducks, splashes, and anything snack-worthy floating by.

10/10 adventure. Would camp again. 💕

Mom decided it was time for me to try out this new harness. At first, I wasn’t convinced; fashion is serious business, after all. But then she said I looked like a model… and honestly, she’s right. I’m serving sidewalk runway model featuring this cool stick I picked up!

Pretty sure Easy Walk should be cutting me a check by now. Until then, if your pup wants to strut like me, you can grab one of these harnesses online.
