** Pet Of The Week**

Holly here, bidding farewell to Summer—and hopefully to my allergies. This season, I visited Dr. Scott and the wonderful team at Sixes Animal Hospital because I’ve been so itchy. All I wanted was to enjoy my summer vacation and maybe relax on a beach somewhere. I can’t complain too much, though, because everyone at Sixes spoiled me with treats and snuggles. Now, I’m looking forward to Fall—maybe I’ll try on some cozy sweaters, dash through piles of leaves, and most importantly, dress up for Halloween!

**Animal Pain Awareness Month**

Animals experience pain just like humans do, but they often hide their discomfort, making it more challenging for us to recognize when something is wrong. Identifying early signs of pain can help us treat our pets more effectively. During this month, the International Veterinary Academy of Pain Management encourages pet owners to be aware of the most common signs of pain in their animals:
- Reduced activity levels
- Decreased eating and drinking
- Excessive grooming
- Increased respiration
- Changes in bathroom habits

If you notice any of these changes in your pet, it may be time to contact your local veterinarian.

**Pet of the Week**

Nami here! “If you think I'm just another cute girl, you’re dead wrong!” The new technician, Marcel, at Sixes Animal Hospital sees me as so much more. I’m playful and full of energy, and I prioritize my health. I’m grateful to have found Dr. Scott and the caring staff here; they truly look after my well-being. After all, “Life is like a pencil that will surely run out, but it will leave behind beautiful writing.” That’s exactly what I intend to do. I’m going to run, chew, bark, and play, knowing I’m well taken care of by them.

**Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day**

Today, we honor our beloved pets who have journeyed across the Rainbow Bridge. This special day serves as a time to reflect on the joy and unconditional love they brought into our lives and to find comfort in the hope of reuniting with them one day.
Let us share our memories of our lost pets and focus on the positive impact they had on our lives. We celebrate the happiness they filled our days with and express our gratitude for the time we shared together.

**Pet of the week**

Don’t let my name fool you. I may have long, flowing, beautiful locks of hair, but I have a fierce personality. My name is Rapunzel, and I’m a 2-year-old Maine C**n cat. I’m so intelligent that I take my care very seriously. The staff at Sixes Animal Hospital is taking good care of me after my recent leg injury. I’m considered a gentle giant, and I’m hoping for a speedy recovery so I can stand guard, observe my humans, and ensure that mealtimes stay on schedule.

**Pet Of the Week**

Hello everyone! My name is Birdie, and I’m a 14-week-old English Springer Spaniel. I was so happy to meet the staff at Sixes Animal Hospital earlier this week, but I didn’t expect to return the very next day for a urinary tract infection. My humans were very proactive in getting me the care I needed, but I really didn’t like being away from them. I cried until Cassie, the receptionist, came and picked me up for some snuggles. She told me that as long as I sat still like a good girl, and maybe helped with the phones, I could hang out with her until my humans came back to get me. I’m happy to report that I sat so still I actually took a little nap! I wasn’t very helpful with the phone, but Cassie didn’t seem to mind. I can’t wait to see all my new friends again for my recheck and puppy booster very soon!
