🐾 STAFF SPOTLIGHT: MEET PIPPY, CFO! 🐾
👑 Chief Feline Officer, Country Club Animal Clinic

It's about time someone featured the most important member of this organization. Me. 😼

While the humans have been enjoying their little staff spotlight series, I thought it was only appropriate that I finally introduce myself. After all, I practically run this place.

🐈‍⬛ Breed I have an unreasonable soft spot for:
Black cats.
It's like looking in the mirror. Absolutely stunning.

💼 How long have you been in veterinary medicine?
I started in pest control back in 2015, which, according to management, I wasn't particularly good at.

Naturally, I promoted myself to BOSS LADY shortly thereafter and have been running the place ever since. You're welcome.

💤 Something I wish clients knew about my job:
I take my responsibilities VERY seriously and NEVER nap on the clock.

Any photographic evidence suggesting otherwise has been taken out of context.

👃 A smell I could identify instantly:
Gastrointestinal Mod Cal Morsels in Gravy. 🤤
Excuse me while I drool.

🏭 If I couldn't work in animal care:
The biscuit factory.
I already have years of hands-on experience in production. 🐾

👜 Something I'm surprisingly good at:
Sitting in clients' handbags.
If you leave it unattended, I will be conducting a complimentary inspection. You're welcome.

😾 Something that drives me absolutely crazy:
When the girls turn off MY sink while I'm trying to take a bath.

The audacity. I have standards.

🚫 Patients my coworkers know I'm NOT volunteering for:
Literally any of them.
I'm here to supervise, not socialize. Please respect my personal space.

💸 Something I'll happily spend money on:
Treats and new scratching boards!

Well, technically I have people for that. That's what being CFO is all about. 💅

🏆 Best pet name I've ever heard:
Pippy. DUH.
Next question.

👑 A final message from your CFO:
Thank you to all my loyal subjects who stop by to admire me, offer compliments, and occasionally provide a handbag for me to occupy.

Your continued devotion is appreciated.

Now, I have a very important meeting with my nap spot.

👇 CLIENTS, I HAVE A QUESTION:
How many of you have had the privilege of meeting ME? Bonus points if you have photographic evidence of my excellent management skills. 😼📸

🐾 STAFF SPOTLIGHT: MEET DR. NICOLE HAYDAY! 🐾

Next up is Dr. Nicole Hayday, who has been practicing veterinary medicine for 4 years! 🩺❤️

From majestic elk to tiny kittens, Dr. Nicole loves seeing her patients feeling better, and she's got a few interesting talents outside the clinic, too!

🦌 Coolest patient you've ever seen:
A trophy bull elk! Being up close to an animal that large and majestic definitely gets the adrenaline pumping!

🐻‍❄️ Dream animal to snuggle if there were no consequences:
A polar bear!
Apparently, giant, potentially dangerous animals are right up her alley. 😂

🐕 Breed you have an unreasonable soft spot for:
Soft-coated Wheaten Terriers! ❤️
Who can resist those adorable, shaggy faces?

🧩 Something you're surprisingly good at:
Making puzzles!
In fact, Dr. Nicole is pretty confident she'd win a puzzle-making competition. Anyone willing to challenge her? 😂

❤️ Most rewarding cases:
The ones where treatment works quickly and the improvement is obvious! Like treating hyperthyroidism in cats and watching their quality of life improve in a short amount of time. Those are the wins that make this job so rewarding. 🥹

👟 Something you'll happily spend money on:
Comfortable shoes!
When you're on your feet all day, they're worth every penny!

🦖 If you couldn't work in veterinary medicine:
Human ultrasonography or paleontology!
So she'd either still be looking inside bodies… or digging up really old ones. 😂

👃 A smell you could identify instantly:
Ketosis!
Another one of those very specific veterinary superpowers nobody asks for.

🐔 Patients your coworkers know you're NOT volunteering for:
Chickens!
She'll take the giant elk, but the chickens can be somebody else's problem. 😂

🏆 Best pet name you've ever heard:
A dog named Janice.
There's just something hilarious about calling “JANICE!” across the dog park. 😂

👇 NOW WE WANT TO KNOW:
Are you a puzzle person, or does the thought of 1,000 tiny pieces make you want to run the other way? 🧩😂

10/28/2026

🐾 STAFF SPOTLIGHT: MEET JOSIE, CCR! 🐾

Next up is Josie, one of our wonderful Client Care Representatives! ❤️

📞 Something you wish clients knew about your job:
"As much as I wish I could read your pet's mind through the phone when you say 'he's looking at me funny,' I still have to ask you a dozen diagnostic questions first."

🐱 Breed you have an unreasonable soft spot for:
Maine C***s! ❤️
Basically, the gentle giants of the cat world!

🐻 Dream animal to snuggle if there were no consequences:
A massive bear AND a sea otter!

"Give me the giant, cozy bear hug, balanced with the chaos of a water cat holding my hand." 🦦

👩‍🍳 If you couldn't work in animal care:
A chef! Josie loves the artistry of food presentation and would also love to dabble in photography.

We're picturing some pretty impressive food photos! 📸🍽️

😤 Something that drives you absolutely crazy:
When a retractable leash becomes completely tangled in approximately THREE seconds, and she has to pretend she's calmly solving a 3D puzzle in front of clients.

It's fine. Everything is fine. 😂

💸 Something you'll happily spend money on:
Pet food, pet treats, and pet toys!

Apparently, the pets have their own shopping budget. 🛍️🐾

🏆 Best pet name you've ever heard:
Face-hugger. 😳

We have SO many questions about the personality behind that name! 😂

👃 A smell you could identify instantly:
Cat urine.

🤹 Something you're surprisingly good at:
Maintaining a sense of humour while raising FOUR BOYS!

Honestly, we feel like that should qualify as an Olympic sport. 🏅😂

🩺 Weirdest foreign body surgery find:
"I've heard the stories, and it's ALL weird!"

Fair enough. The things animals decide to eat never cease to amaze us!

👇 NOW WE WANT TO KNOW:
Josie dreams of cuddling a giant bear AND a sea otter! 🐻🦦 If you could safely cuddle ANY wild animal, what would you choose? ❤️🐾

10/27/2026

🐾 STAFF SPOTLIGHT: MEET NICOLE, RVT! 🐾

Next up is Nicole, who has been working in veterinary medicine for an impressive 13 years! ❤️

🥰 Most rewarding cases:
Watching a sick animal who hasn’t been eating finally start to eat again on their own. Sometimes it’s the little milestones that feel the biggest. ❤️

✈️ Something you'll happily spend money on:
As much as I love being an RVT, I love going on vacation just as much! 😂🌴

🐒 Dream animal to snuggle if there were no consequences:
A monkey!

🥖 If you couldn't work in animal care:
A baker! 🍞
Honestly, we wouldn’t complain about this career change if she still came to visit us.

👃 A smell you could identify instantly:
Oti-Scrub ear cleaner.
Vet med really does give you a very strange collection of recognizable smells. 😂

😳 Weirdest foreign body surgery find:
SEVEN baby pacifiers.
Not one. Not two. SEVEN. 😮
We have so many questions.

👇 Now we want to know:
What’s the strangest thing YOUR pet has ever eaten? 😂🐾

10/26/2026

🐾 STAFF SPOTLIGHT: Meet Tiffany, RVT! 🐾

This week we’re introducing Tiffany, one of our Registered Veterinary Technologists! With 20 years in veterinary medicine, Tiffany has seen her fair share of interesting patients and questionable things dogs have decided to eat. 😂

Here are a few things you might not know about her:

🦁 What animal would you most want to snuggle if it couldn’t hurt you and wasn’t stressed by you?
A lion. 🦁

🐶 What breed do you have an unreasonable soft spot for?
German Shepherds. ❤️

🎂 What could you give a 20-minute presentation about with absolutely no preparation?
How to ice a cake! 🎂

🐴 What’s something you happily spend money on?
My horses.

🩺 How long have you been in vet med?
20 years!

👃 What smell could you identify instantly with your eyes closed?
Cerenia.
Another one of those if you work in vet med, you know answers. 😂

🌾 If you weren’t allowed to work in animal care, what would you do?
Stay home and farm.

😎 What’s the coolest patient you’ve ever seen?
A sandhill crane!

😳 What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever seen in a foreign body surgery?
An entire roll of dog p**p bags. 💩
Apparently someone misunderstood what those were for. 😂

After 20 years in vet med, Tiffany still has a soft spot for German Shepherds, would happily spend her money on horses, and apparently has a backup career in either farming or cake decorating if she ever decides she’s had enough of us. ❤️🐾

Your turn: what’s something YOU could give a 20-minute presentation about with absolutely no preparation? We want to hear your oddly specific area of expertise! 😂👇

10/23/2026

🐾 STAFF SPOTLIGHT: Meet Loni! 🐾

Next up in our Staff Spotlights is Loni — RVT, manager, and one of the owners of our clinics. She started volunteering in a veterinary clinic when she was just 13 and has been in vet med ever since. We could tell you exactly how many years that is, but she has specifically declined to do that math. 😂

🦁 What animal would you most want to snuggle if it couldn’t hurt you and wasn’t stressed by you?
Oooh, so many! Lions, tigers, cougars, bears, wolverines, badgers, otters… literally anything with fur!

❤️ What’s something you wish our clients knew about your job?
That we really do try our very best every day, and we think about our patients long after they’ve gone home. I still think about patients from decades ago who I know are long gone, but they still meant something to me.

I also wish people knew that sometimes all the money in the world and all the knowledge we have still can’t change the course of nature — and sometimes, even when we can intervene, it doesn’t necessarily mean we should.

And I wish everyone could see how amazingly caring the average vet med staff member is. How gently they handle and talk to your pets when you aren’t here, the songs they sing to them, and just how much they genuinely want the very best outcome for every patient. ❤️

🎤 What could you give a 20-minute presentation about with absolutely no preparation?
Apparently, what I wish clients knew about our job! 😂

🐱 What’s the coolest patient you’ve ever seen?
A 6-week-old lynx kitten. She was dehydrated and needed IV fluids. She was SO small…and still SO vicious. I had to hold her with welding gloves so we could get her IV in!

📎 What’s one thing that drives you crazy, even though you know it drives you a little TOO crazy?
Papers stapled together without the corners being perfectly lined up.

💡 What’s something you’re surprisingly good at?
Changing the water cooler bottle at work. Apparently this is a specialized skill. 😂

Now we want to hear from you: what’s one thing you’ve always wondered about what happens “behind the scenes” at a veterinary clinic? Drop your question below! 👇🐾

10/22/2026

🐾 STAFF SPOTLIGHT: MEET HAILEE, RVT! 🐾

Hailee actually started right here at Bear Creek as a Veterinary Assistant in 2020 and has now been an RVT for 3½ years! Hailee has recently made the move to Country Club to support our team! ❤️

🐱 Breed you have an unreasonable soft spot for:
Domestic Shorthaired cats — especially the grey ones!

🩺 Something you wish clients knew about your job:
How many different skills RVTs are trained in and just how much they do behind the scenes! From anesthesia and running lab work to providing much of the hands-on patient care, there’s a lot happening that clients may never see.

❤️ Most rewarding cases:
Sending home a patient who has made a full recovery after spending days with us in the clinic.

🌶️🐱 Patient you're ALWAYS willing to take:
Give me ALL the spicy cats!

🐕 And the ones you're happy to let a coworker handle:

Anything for my cats… or coffee mugs.

👃 A smell you could identify instantly:
Injectable Cerenia.
Another oddly specific vet-med superpower. 😂

🧑‍⚕️ If you couldn't work in animal care:
Probably human health care as a nurse.

👽 Weirdest foreign body surgery find:
A darning needle! 😳

👇 Now we want to know:
Cat people — what colour cat has YOUR heart? 🐱❤️

Knowing obscure facts that are absolutely no help in everyday life. 😂
You never know when that random knowledge might come in handy!

Any kind of Spaniel! ❤️

🩺 Most rewarding cases:
Those difficult medical cases where you finally get a definitive diagnosis AND a good outcome. There's nothing quite like solving a medical mystery!

Allergic skin disease.
"I tend to give an allergic skin disease lecture every day!" 😂

A koala bear!

❤️ Something you wish clients knew about your job:
Just how much work goes into providing the best possible care for our patients — and how many dedicated team members it takes to make that happen.

I'd work in a bakery… but I'd have to learn how to bake first! 😂
We appreciate the ambition.

📏 Something that drives you a little crazy:
Things being lined up in order of size.
Apparently organization has its limits. 😂

🐍 Patient your coworkers know you're NOT volunteering for:
Snakes. Hard pass!

10/20/2026

🐾 STAFF SPOTLIGHT: Meet AMY! 🐾

Meet Amy, one of our Client Care Representatives! Amy was a familiar face in Country Club, but moved back to Bear Creek last fall to help us out there. After 30 years in veterinary medicine, Amy has gotten to know a LOT of pets and their people and if you’ve spent any time chatting with her, you probably also know she’s pretty good at making people laugh. ❤️

🐨 What animal would you most want to snuggle if it couldn’t hurt you and wasn’t stressed by you?
A baby koala!

The coolest X-ray before an exploratory surgery was a beaded moccasin — you could actually see the design of the beads clearly on the X-ray!
