Words cannot say enough about this Amazing Ball of Fluff! Meet Lazuli, she was in for her first puppy exam today. Needless to say, she was a definite hit! We were all dazed by her uniqueness, beauty and charm. ( she's pretty darn smart already too ) We can't wait to see her grow. ❤️

Just a little reminder! ☺️

Since our staff can be kinda sneaky we tricked Josh into stopping in this afternoon and gave him his birthday goodies. He isn't much for sweets ( as he's sweet enough) 😉 so we gave him a bag of various snacks and Dr Pepper.
Speaking of sneaky.....since we needed a package sent FedEx, we asked him to go on that mission and he was nice enough to oblige. Thank you Josh and we all wish you a Happy Belated Birthday!!!!
Give Josh a big birthday shout out

Monday night was quite eventful as we had an emergency C-section after hours. 4 little whippersnappers went home with one proud and tired Mama. We can't wait to watch them grow, it's always exciting to see how they change. Thank you to the staff that stayed late to help Dr Spencer bring these babies into the world. You all are amazing!! 💗

Happy belated birthday to these two full of life, Clinic comedians. They were born on the same day, same year and not too far apart in time.

Help us wish Ariel and Daria a Happy Birthday.

Cash, Dr Spencer's nephew, has joined the team to help us out with all the kennel duties that we do not have time for at the end of the day. Josh will be leaving us but is showing him the ropes. ( and probably warning him of some of our stunts 😁) I tried telling Cash there is an initiation ... he may get tossed in a dumpster, locked in a kennel or tied up with vet wrap ( thanks for playing along Josh) but he still laughed. Not much phases the new member to the Care Crew, he's gonna do just fine.
