Hello there! Starting this month, we would like to start putting the spotlight on each of our diverse cast of employees.

March’s highlighted staff member is one of our licensed technicians, Faith! Faith has been in the veterinary field since 2018 when she joined as a reception lead-- after attending Pima in 2022 and obtaining her license, she has been working as a technician ever since.

Outside of Alderwood, Faith enjoys hiking, photography, and giving back to her community. Faith is a bit of a world traveler-- did you know she once backpacked completely solo through Europe and Great Britain? We think that’s amazing! Talk about a fantastic experience! (And she’s taken *two* trips like this, the second one took her through the Middle East, Australia and Africa)

One day she says she would like to take a road-trip along the Pan-American HWY all the way down through South America-- in these colder months, heading further south sounds like a good plan to us.

We’re so grateful to have Faith here at the hospital, thank you for all of your hard work and your wonderful stories.

[taps mic] Is this thing on?

WHEW What a busy February! Everyone safely navigated the snow and the flu, and now Spring is almost upon us! Even little Fudge thinks it's time for everyone to take it easy for a bit. Not her, though, she's got a full schedule jumping on couches and chasing her monkey toy.

The elves tallying our votes for the door decorating contest followed a sign post that promised treats and got a little distracted, so our door contest results are a little belated-- but worry not, the votes are in!

In third place -- Door #2, Snowmen!
In second place -- Door #4, Snoopy!
In first place-- Door #3, Snowglobe!

Congratulations to our three winners! All the doors were amazing this year, so it was some stiff competition. Judging by the whispers around the clinic, it seems the next contest is going to be even more incredible!

Our hearts go out to everyone affected by the fires in California. A number of our staff have friends and family who have been evacuated and lost their homes, and we have all been anxiously watching the news.

It is a sobering reminder that disaster can strike at anytime and with very little warning. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with what to have packed for your pets in case of an emergency. Go bags can take some work to assemble, but they offer peace of mind and expediency when both are in high demand.
