One of our clients has been fostering a litter of kittens and now they are old enough to move on to their forever homes. The kittens are all healthy and love being with their people. If you’re looking for a great, loving kitten, please give these people a call. Feel free to share this post.

They say the only constant in life is change. We’re being reminded of that; this Friday will be Kalen’s last day with us. Kalen is taking classes to become a Physician’s Assistant and has been offered a job closer to that career field.

Kalen first started to come see us as a little girl driving a Barbie Dream car to the clinic as her mom walked their family dog to appointments. When Kalen was in high school she started working for us caring for boarding pets on weekends. She then started working as a receptionist and also as a tech assistant. She’s always been a valued member of our staff and we will miss having her with us.

Best of luck in your future, Kalen.

One of our adopters husband recently passed away. She contact us and asked where she could donate
His pacemaker. After a few phone calls Nashville Veterinary Specialists said they would appreciate the donation to help save the life of someone’s pet.
Thank you for your gift

Did you know:
If you have a pacemaker, you can put it in your Will to have your pacemaker donated to a dog in need after you pass. Pacemakers cannot be donated to another human, but they can be donated to dogs with cardiac issues who would depend on it to stay alive.
You can have the pacemaker brought to a vet of your choice. So many of those get thrown away and dogs die because people don't know they can do this. It even saves the dog's owner the cost of the actual pacemaker which sometimes means the difference in being able to afford lifesaving treatment or not.

I am spending this week participating in BRAN, Bike Ride Across Nebraska. 350 cyclists started in Valentine on Sunday and will finish in Louisville on Saturday. Today while crossing the Platte River just south of Silver Creek I found this kitten dodging 65 mph traffic. When I stopped, the kitten immediately ran right to me. I stuck her inside my jersey and we rode for about 4 miles and found a land owner coming out of their driveway. They said their barn cat had a litter of kittens about the same age as this one and they would see if their mama cat would take this one as well.

Made my day.
