Good morning!!!!!! It’s beautiful and sunny today! If you are worried about your pets outside today during the eclipse- there is no need to be as they do not look directly at the sun. However, it’s best not to bring them to eclipse events as that might be a stressful time for them with all the excitement. If you prefer to exercise caution, just leave them inside but no need to be overly worried. Enjoy the astrological fun today!!!!

It is with extreme sadness that we offer our condolences and support to the Rockford Police Department as they cope with the loss of their K9 officer, Nyx. Nyx was the only female K9 officer on the RPD. We will forever be in awe at all that these working dogs are able to do and learn. Nyx lost her life in the line of duty today, while doing a job she no doubt loved and was brilliant at. Thank you K9 Officer Nyx for all you have done for our city. Biggest of hugs to all of her two and four-legged family members, especially her partner, as they grieve this loss.

We jest but Christmas decorations do cause multiple hazards for our pets. Please be cognizant of your animals. Do not wrap food stuff under your tree. Remember that tinsel and lights can be deadly if inappropriately ingested. We want everyone to have a safe and healthy holiday season!

Orvis had a busy day today! What did your animal family do? Pics or it didn’t happen!

OMG Mamma!! What is this place?

Orvis- this is Menards.

Ohh ohh ohh! Looky here! Aisles and aisles of light bulbs to let me see when it’s dark!

Orvis- you have a secret weapon in your anatomy called the tapetum lucidem that lets dogs see in the dark.

Look at all these treats they have!!!!!!!! Omg, bacon flavored dog bones, chicken flavored dog bones, salmon flavored. Look!! This one is elk ribs with a cheesy peanut butter coating and a hint of paprika!

Orvis you literally eat sticks in the mud.

Ohhh! Cushions to give me a soft chair when I’m out on the deck for the sunset! Dirt to make my beautiful flowers grow so I can trample them when I sniff around for nothing! This is amazing!

Orvis- stop drinking the Kool-aide .

OMG THEY HAVE KOOL-AIDE AND SNACKS TOO?!?!?!!? We’s found paradise!

🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Please don’t pick up a fawn unless you actually see the mother get hurt. Same thing for baby bunnies. Nature doesn’t abandon their babies. But it does camouflage them for their safety!

Happy Mother’s Day for all those who out there who give motherly love to creatures big and small- human size or otherwise! Have a wonderful day filled with tail wags and sloppy kisses! We’d love to see pictures in comments on how you are spending your day together today!

Our members and guests had so much fun talking with Dr. Alicia Guarino DVM from Animal Medical Clinics of Rockford. She and her family did a fantastic job of answering questions and even letting children listen to the heartbeat of Dr. Guarino's adorable dog! Thanks so much, Dr. Guarino...we're confident you inspired some future veterinarians and vet techs!🐈🐈🐕

Dr Alicia, Orvis, Stuntman Mike the Russian Tortoise and her team of helpers spent the day at the Discovery Center helping both kids AND adults learn about veterinary medicine. They listened to Orvis’s heart, learned the difference between tortoises and turtles, pet the tortoise, learned about heartworms, fleas, and ticks, saw some actual heartworms, learned to read x-rays, bandaged a LOT of legs, gave medicines, and just did all things Veterinary! It is so rewarding to watch tiny humans and their adults get excited to learn to take care of animals! Orvis is pretty sure he saw 465,398 children today and deserves a steak dinner. (Seriously- he did amazing! As did ALL the helpers!)
