Good morning and happy Tuesday!

We’d like to introduce you to miss Zealand today. Zealand is an 8 year old black Labrador who LOVES life. She came in yesterday with her cat-Sister Rainbow and her mom Amy for their first visits.

Zealand was so excited to be Social Media famous that she excitedly and in rapid succession chose several of her favorite poses (including sitting on my feet) for the camera. It was hilarious!

Thanks for joining the pack Amy and family- we’re happy to help care for your furry family members!

Here’s your semi-annual reminder that hunting season isn’t just in the fall for deer, and while my girl is the color of a deer, any movement in the woods could trigger a hunter’s shot.

Accidents happen— don’t let your pet be one of them. Make sure your pets (no matter their coloring) are wearing bright colors.

As a reminder, here is Vermont’s hunting and trapping schedule: https://bit.ly/3xh3yEB

We hope everyone has a great Tuesday!

One day, Lee heard sounds coming from the crawl space under his home and, after setting out some food, discovered it was this beautiful kitten.

Lee then asked all of his neighbors if they were missing a kitten- and well, long story short: please meet Lee’s beautiful baby girl, T.

We estimate she's about 8 weeks old, and if you scroll through the pictures, you can see just how happy and comfortable she is with her new cat-dad! 😻😻

Welcome to the family, T! We were so happy to meet you at your first appointment with Dr. Marie!
