Fun Friday!

On Tuesday, February 27, a devastating fire started in the Texas Panhandle. At this point, it is the second largest fire on record in the state of Texas.

Part of the devastation will be loss of family pets.

One way to ensure the safety of your animals of you ever need to evacuate due to a natural emergency is to make certain they are crate trained.

Going through the news stories about the fire and communities affected and a picture popped up. One of their communities had a pickup with dog crates ready to be put together and used at evacuation sites.

Crates are not cruel when used properly. They can absolutely be a den and a safe space.

This is an important reminder.

We are still a rural area. We have quite a few clients with very expensive hunting dogs. They are working dogs. They have homes.

We often have people new to rural life who don’t have experience with this type of working dog.

Copied from a Game Warden

Just a friendly reminder that c**n , deer, rabbit , season and squirrel season are open!!! There will be hounds showing up everywhere.. Owners will be happy to come get their dogs if you call them.. These dogs have homes..they are fed... They can look skinny after a couple days of running lost without food.. Yes, it can happen that fast.. Help them get home where they can be fed...

DO NOT REMOVE THEIR COLLARS! IT IS A FELONY!

That funny looking collar is a tracking collar.. Not a shock collar... This means someone is looking for them! This is what these dogs look forward to.. (no, you can not force a dog to hunt.. They do that because they want to). You are not saving a dog or rescuing one if you take one and try to rehome it.. You're stealing someone's dog. Which is also a felony. Some of these dogs will appear shy or timid... That's because you aren't their owner, not necessarily because the dog has been abused... Most of the time is from not being socialized with people. I know everyone has good intentions, but a little information to help everyone make the right decision might save some heartache for someone else.

PLEASE COPY & PASTE TO GET THE WORD OUT!!

This is Vet Tech week. We couldn’t possibly do what we do at PVC without the help of our techs. Whether they’ve been with us a loooong time (Sherry & Beth), are new to our team (Tiffany), are “newish” to the team (Skylyn), or are part time (Hailey) you help Doc stay on top of busy days and weeks and keep our clients on top of getting the best care for their pets.

Lots of hard days, but lots of fun times, too!

For about 15 years, this little orange cat with the dwarfed legs, strong purr, and desire to be balled up and carried around has been part of the Hughes family. Two years ago, we noticed some changes and made an appointment with a specialist. He was diagnosed with lymphoma. Through medical intervention, we were able to get two more years of love and cuddling. This morning, Dr. Hughes eased him out of his pain. We remember all the ones before him and we will always remember Blinkin’, who was also known as “Kitten Ball.”
