👻Happy Halloween👻 Keep your pet SAFE this weekend!
🎃No Sweets! Chocolate and sugar free candies with xylitol (also called wood sugar, birch sugar, and birch bark extract) can be toxic.
🎃Keep candle-lit jack-o-lanterns in a place away from where pets can knock them over!
🎃Microchips and ID tags are a must! The front door opening and closing with trick-or-treaters can be the perfect escape!
👻We have pet and hooooooman treats at the clinic today!

Washington Man, Cary Woman Charged in Lake Barrington Search and Standoff
Two suspects were charged following a massive law enforcement search and standoff yesterday in Lake Barrington.
On August 20, 2024, at approximately 11:55 a.m., Lake County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a hit-and-run traffic crash on Route 14 at Pepper Road in Lake Barrington. Sheriff’s deputies arrived in the area and began checking for the offending vehicle in the hit-and-run. At approximately 12:35 p.m., the vehicle was located abandoned at a business just northwest of Pepper Road.
It was determined the abandoned vehicle was being driven by a man suspected in a recent homicide that occurred in Chicago, Osceola L. Little, 38, of the 6600 block of Gateway Terrace, Everett, Washington. Additionally, it was learned earlier in the day Little fled from law enforcement during a vehicle pursuit. Information was relayed that Little was believed to be armed and dangerous.
A large perimeter was established with the assistance of local law enforcement agencies. Nearby public and private schools, as well as municipal governments were notified. Video surveillance was obtained from an area business which showed Little exiting the crashed vehicle with a duffle bag and a woman exiting the vehicle with a backpack, both then fled on foot.
The sheriff’s office deployed dozens of deputies, including specialized units, to conduct a coordinate search, aided by numerous local police officers. The operation was managed from the sheriff’s new mobile command vehicle. As the sheriff’s office runs its own dispatch center, emergency dispatch staff was able to be allocated to the command vehicle, which provided greater intelligence gathering and faster information relayed to units in the field.
At approximately 2:10 p.m., the female who fled from the crash, Luisa Sanchez, 22, of the 28800 block of West South Street, Cary, was located and taken into custody at a gas station in the area of Route 14 and Kelsey Road. Sheriff’s detectives determined Sanchez hid a firearm inside of the gas station. Members of the sheriff’s office and Chicago Police Department located the firearm hidden inside a bathroom air vent.
An area extending from Kelsey Road to the west, Route 22 to the north, Route 14 to the south, and North Harbor Road to the east, was systematically searched by over 10 drones, 20 canine teams, an Illinois State Police aircraft, sheriff’s deputies, and area police departments.
At approximately 6:20 p.m., Little was seen by one of the units searching the area. Little immediately ran when confronted. Sheriff’s deputies and area police officers pursued him on foot, and Little ran into an occupied industrial building in the 21900 block of Pepper Road, Lake Barrington. Sheriff’s deputies were able to contain Little to an office room in the building and safely evacuate the employees who were working inside.
Members of the sheriff’s office tactical response team and sheriff’s negotiators began communications with Little. After skillful negotiations, Little surrendered at approximately 8:15 p.m.
Further investigation revealed the firearm hidden by Sanchez belongs to Little and it appears to be the firearm used in the Chicago homicide.
Following review, the Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office approved the following charges:
Osceola L. Little: Aggravated Unlawful Possession of a Weapon by a Felon
Luisa Sanchez: Obstructing Justice, Aiding a Fugitive, Unlawful Possession of a Firearm – No FOID
Little and Sanchez are due in First Appearance Court this morning. The Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office is filing petitions to detain Little and Sanchez in custody pending trial. Additional Lake County charges are likely. Additional charges are also likely by the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office/Chicago Police Department.
Lake County Sheriff John D. Idleburg said, “I could not be prouder of my team’s relentless determination during this fugitive search. We were able to deploy dozens of sheriff’s deputies to quickly establish a perimeter and we cannot thank our municipal and state police partners enough, for their response with dozens of resources. Both suspects are now in custody, a direct result of our collective strength, expert negotiation skills, and dedication to public safety.”
Sheriff Idleburg and the members of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office thank our local and state law enforcement partners that responded to the scene to assist, including:
Arlington Heights Police Department
Aurora Police Department
Barrington Hills Police Department
Barrington Police Department
Buffalo Grove Police Department
Chicago Police Department
Cook County Sheriff’s Police Department
Des Plaines Police Department
Fox River Grove Police Department
Hawthorn Woods Police Department
Illinois State Police
Kane County Sheriff’s Office
Kildeer Police Department
Lake Forest Police Department
Lake Zurich Police Department
Libertyville Police Department
Mundelein Police Department
Palatine Police Department
Rolling Meadows Police Department
Schaumburg Police Department
South Barrington Police Department
Tower Lakes Police Department
U.S. Homeland Security Investigations
Vernon Hills Police Department
Wauconda Police Department
Zion Police Department
The sheriff’s office also thanks the Salvation Army, who responded to provide water and food to all of the first responders at the scene.
All defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.

It’s “What Did The Dog Eat Wednesday!” 🐾 (ok, that’s not really a thing but it IS today!)
Meet 🐾 Harp 🐾
Q: What did Harp & a rope toy have in common?
A: Nothing! And Dr. Newman made sure of it!
🦴 Harp was not feeling well for about a week but his owner could tell he was sick and sought veterinary care to figure out why. X-rays showed “something” in his stomach.
🦴 A surgery to remove the “something” (a 100% intact rope toy) from his stomach was performed successfully!
🦴 This toy is 16 inches long and does NOT belong where it ended up!
🦴 Harp recovered smoothly and is feeling SO much better!
