FYI, a small fire (2-4 acres so far), has broken out a few blocks from Doc's house.
She is leaving to go home.
If it's under control, she said she'd be back this afternoon, but CALL FIRST, before coming in.

Hi everyone!
It's almost time for Doc's "big" annual vacation!
Her last day will be Thursday, January 23rd and she won't be back until Tuesday, February 18th.
PLEASE be sure to get vaccinations, refills, and check-ups before she leaves!
While she is away, I'll do my best to provide a referral, but very few other clinics have walk-in hours, so keep that in mind!

Hi everyone. Hope you are all safe.
Doc's house in Granada Hills is in the voluntary evacuation zone of the Sylmar Fire. I spoke to her at midnight and they were loading the cars and getting ready to go, if necessary.
I don't know if she'll be in today, but my guess is that she won't.
If she does NOT come in, I'm shutting down the office at noon; driving in from Woodland Hills this morning was REALLY stressful, and I'm not making that drive in the dark again.
If she DOES come in, we will still be closing early, but I don't know how early (probably 3:00).
The hospital is fine; we have power, heat, internet and all the pets are safe. Roberto lives here and is keeping an eye on things.
I'll keep you posted when I know more.
STAY SAFE!!!
