If you've come into the clinic in recent history, you may have noticed that there are more than one or two plants taking over the lobby. Did you know that a group of ladies who help with the rescue The Cats at Longstreet also grow plants to sell to benefit the rescue? We have some of their plants for sale here at the clinic, but there's a big event coming up this weekend.

Saturday Nov 11/23 from 12 to 5 pm in Sterling there's a big street vendor sale with all kinds of small business vendors. One of those vendors is The Plants at Longstreet, selling various goodies to benefit the rescue. Please come check them out this weekend!

Plants for sale are many and varied, and include:
-Exotic and rare tropical plants
-Easy to grow indoor plants
-Succulents and cacti
-Hanging plants
-Plants in every color including PINK AND RED
-Itty bitty (usually inexpensive) starter plants
-LORGE PLANTS
And all for a fantastic cause! We will also have a few planty supplies, including brand new African violet pots.

Do you know what’s really spoopy? 👻 Not having our amazing team of receptionists, assistants, and of course our technicians and student technicians!

This week we celebrate 🎉 National Veterinary Technician Week 🎉 and recognize hardworking veterinary technicians everywhere. Can you tell what our theme was for this year? We’ve got the break room decked out in spoooooky décor 🕸️ with tricks and treats planned all week long. 🍭

While we take this week to treat the whole team, I do want to highlight a bit more about being a credentialed veterinary technician.

Some daily duties of our veterinary technicians include but are not limited to nursing care of hospitalized patients, taking vital signs 🩺, administering vaccines, drawing blood 🩸, performing laboratory tests, taking radiographs (dental radiographs included) 🦴, performing dental prophylaxis, monitoring anesthesia, placing IV catheters, intubation, assisting with surgery, applying bandages 🩹, performing diagnostics 🧪, placing feeding tubes, performing CPR, caring for critical patients, administering medications, taming spicy kitties 😾, client education, trimming nails, record keeping, and of course giving lots of care and attention to your pets. They are supported through this all by our ace team of assistants, CSRs, and kennel technicians.

Licensed technicians go through an accredited schooling program spanning 2-4 years, and then must sit for a national exam. They are required to complete continuing education every year, and since we are AAHA accredited, the hours required are even higher. 📚

For many LVTs, this is a calling, and they can’t imagine doing anything else. Even though our days can be long and tiring, and the emotional toll can be overwhelming we try to focus on the successes we have and the patients we’ve saved.

I’m amazed at the skill level and knowledge of our team, and I think a good part of that comes from our LVTs and doctors who love to teach and share their knowledge to build the strongest team we can at Harmony Hill. 💪

Fun story about the awesomeness of the planty community, Loudoun County planty people, and our animal loving community.
****
So a couple of days ago, I went to go pick up a $6 plant from a local dude... Turns out, there were 2 plants in the pot, and he gave me another large warty aloe just for funsies when I did the pick up.
Total plant count: 3 for $6
****
I met another woman right around the corner from him with the intent of trading a half dozen of my coleus cuttings for 1 (ONE) of hers; instead, she gave me 3 fully rooted plants, all of which needed to be chopped and propped as they were too leggy...
Total plant count: At least 8 out of the original "ONE" plus the 3 from the first stop, makes 11 so far.
****
Then, I went to the house of a WONDERFUL woman named Chui who sells super rare, very $$$$$$$ plants because she wanted to donate plants for The Cats At Longstreet to sell this weekend.
Total plant count: I have no idea. There's probably a solid 2 dozen plants in the boxes. Makes, what? 3 dozen plants for $6 and a few hours of my time?
****
Please come join us tomorrow (Saturday) from 2 to 5 pm at Ocelot Brewing Company in Sterling to help us make room for all these kids!

I am always astonished and impressed by the incredible team we have assembled. I am also honored by the understanding in our client family.

Yesterday, I was the only doctor on and we had an insane day, topped off by an emergency surgery on a cat who was found with a stuck kitten in the birth canal.

When we took her to surgery, we found that she had tried so hard to get that kitten out on her own that she'd torn her womb in 2 different places and torn one of the major blood vessels. She was bleeding out into her abdomen.

The team took it in stride. Kristin scrubbing in to help me get the bleeding stopped, Courtney taking over anesthesia, Kristina providing ancillary surgical support, CJ taking over the ongoing treatments and appointments, Jo and Ashley keeping everything going in back, and last but absolutely not least, Sierra and Jessie making sure everyone was updated on what was going on, including the waiting and arriving appointments. The appointments all understood and took the delay with grace and kindness and concern.

It. Was. Incredible.

And, that crackalackin team STILL made sure I was out the door in time to go pick up the toddler from school.

Thank you, guys. You rock my world.
