It's Friday-the end of the week and we have saved the best for last!

For anyone who may not know, this week is National Vet Tech Week when our industry sends a big shout-out to all of the vet techs and assistants who are such an integral part of the veterinary profession.

While there are many great vet techs and tech assistants, we are so lucky to have the best working with us. Dedication, love, hard working-these are just a few of the adjectives that we can apply to our techs and tech assistants. With that in mind, we want to send all of them a big "Thank-You" ( as well as a great lunch!) and let them know how much we appreciate them.

Mary, Noelle, David, Maria, Amanda, and Lara-you are the best!! Thanks for your great work guys.

Have a great weekend everybody.

It is once again the time of year when many adult female turtles in our region leave the safety of their homes in lakes, rivers, streams, swamps, and ponds in order to find a suitable spot in which to lay their eggs. Too often the journey involves very dangerous and risky crossing of roadways to get to their destinations. Please-exercise caution when driving through turtle habitat areas. If you do decide to stop and help a turtle cross the road please grasp the turtle on the side of her shell and move it in the direction that its head is pointing as that is where she needs to go. To simply move it back to where it came from only doubles the risk to her safety. When attempting to move a Snapping Turtle either grasp it by the rear of the shell (not by the tail!) or use a car mat to help "scoop" it along.

The photos below are of a beautiful female Snapping Turtle that we encountered by the side of the road last week-we utilized the car mat method to move it across the street. FYI last Thursday, May 23rd, was also "World Turtle Day"!

Wishing everyone an enjoyable and safe Memorial Day holiday. And let's not forget that while Memorial Day is a chance to have a day off from work and school, its real importance is the remembrance of the sacrifices made by our brave veterans in the pursuit and protection of our freedom. A big "Thank-You" to all veterans past and present-you are the embodiment of what a hero should be!!

No matter the species, the human/animal bond is always a beautiful experience to behold.

Our thanks to Dr. Whitley for his work, and Gerry the giraffe for showing us how to say "Thank-You"!!

In Ardmore, Oklahoma, a giraffe with chewing issues had his neck adjusted by chiropractor Dr. Joren Whitley, who practices on humans and animals.

Bijou, our youngest, (6 months) ,and smallest, (3 pounds), family member, asked if she could be our "spokespuppy" for this year's "National Puppy Day" which, despite the name, celebrates dogs of all ages as well as being a serious discussion surrounding dogs in need of adoption and the inhumane treatment that some of them endure in puppy mills.

How could we refuse?!

Our November "Tip-Of-The-Month" courtesy of our acupuncturist Dr. Anne Viano.

Acupuncture has been used as a treatment modality for animals in
China for thousands of years, and it is constantly evolving in both
eastern and western medicine. In general, western medicine focuses on the control of specific ailments and disease processes, while Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine recognizes disease as an imbalance of the whole body. Acupuncturists see the body as an energetic structure and focus on removing energy blockages to both treat and prevent disease or imbalance.

Albert Einstein’s equation E=mc^2 shows us that there is a relationship between mass and energy, and under the right conditions, energy can become mass and mass can become energy.

Our goal as acupuncturists is to affect the energy before disease sets in and becomes structural, or mass. If a problem is already established, then we try to rebalance the energy of the body in order to bring as much normal flow as possible.

Acupuncturists do this by manipulating specific points along energy pathways called meridians. We know from a western medicine standpoint that the acupuncture points are specific foci of increased electrical conductivity. They have a higher number of free nerve endings, certain types of cells, blood vessels and lymphatics. When we stimulate an acupoint we cause a complex cascade of local chemical, neuro chemical and hormonal changes. Along with the anti-inflammatory and pain- relieving effects of these substances, acupuncture has been shown to cause pain relief through a mechanism called the “gate theory.” The theory suggests
that the non-painful stimulus causes a rapid transmission to the brain activating inhibitory neurons that close “the gate” before the slower pain impulses can arrive.

Acupuncture can be used for most acute and chronic conditions. It is known to have stronger effects for some conditions vs others, but If you would like to enhance your current care plan or just get your furry family member on the road to feeling better overall, try acupuncture!

It's National Vet Tech Week-a chance for the veterinary industry to honor all of the technicians who are a vital component of veterinary care. In that light, we therefore want to take a few moments to express our love and gratitude for our own superstar technicians Noelle and Rebecca who consistently demonstrate the ability to combine their "A Game" with an unlimited supply of compassion.

Thanks guys-you are the best of the best!! It is also worth noting that Noelle and Rebecca both get an impressive 5 paws up recommendation from our Fluffy-well-known for his tough reviews!!

No one knew why Fluffy came to work earlier today with his tail fluffed up. Turns out he is upset that we have not yet mentioned that all of September is designated "Happy Cat Month." We asked what it would take to make him "Happy." His answer-a FB post and some extra freeze-dried treats. We now have a "Happy Cat" once again!!

Looks like Howard, an adorable Golden Retriever who has been boarding with us, has mesmerized yet another of our staff members as he and John have become besties.

Meet the new member of our family: Tiger Lilly. She came to us as a feral 2 week old kitten in July and, with a lot of care and love, is maturing into an amazing cat whom everyone wants to cuddle with. Looks like she has the right idea about how to spend the Labor Day holiday too!

On behalf of Tiger Lilly and the rest of Earth Angels' staff, we wish everyone a great and safe Labor Day holiday.

Our August "Tip-Of-The-Month" for pet owners courtesy of Victoria Meyer-owner of Mischief Managed Dog Training:

Sit on the dog.

No not literally, that’s rude. It’s just a funny name for a great exercise to help create a calm dog.

We all know the dog who cannot chill when around people whether that’s new people or even just the owner! The dog is constantly pawing or barking for attention and is on the go-go-go. That’s a really unhealthy mentality! So how the heck do we start to teach a
dog how to chill around humans? Sit on the dog😉

What you’ll do for this exercise is put your dog on a leash and sit on your leash. Give them just enough of the leash that they can sit or lay down. You will ignore all barking and pawing and only touch your dog if it is to give them a gentle nudge off of you. There is zero engagement here, you WANT this to be boring. So no talking to them either!!!

You will end the exercise when the dog is comfortably sitting or laying down next to you and isn’t acting out for attention. If you end the exercise and release the dog when they ARE pawing or barking, you’re just reinforcing if they throw a big enough tantrum they get freedom and no one wants that. The more you do this exercise, the more they should begin to chill out with you and guests.

Thanks for another great training tip Victoria!!
