Hey everyone, meet Willow! Willow is a one year old pomsky with a passion for surfing! Yes, you heard that right, surfing! Willow had to visit our cardiology department due to coughing episodes and a heart murmur. After her echocardiogram and ECG were performed, Dr. Borde was able to let her owners know she could continue doing what she loves. Please enjoy these photos Willow’s owners provided. She recently won 2nd place at the Hang 8 Dog Surfing Extravaganza in Flagler Beach Florida. Way to go Willow! ❤️
