Fascinating

Wild images show several dogs near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant turning blue, baffling workers taking care of them.

There is no reason to use force or fear to train dogs. And make no mistake: e collars deliver electric shock in order to motivate dogs via pain and startle. You don't need them.

FIVE YEARS.

And just like that… we’re celebrating FIVE whole years of Fox Run Veterinary Hospital.

It feels like just yesterday we opened our doors with a whole lot of hope, a little fear, and a dream that had been growing louder and louder until I couldn’t ignore it any longer. Five years later, I’m still chasing that dream—now with 29 of the most passionate, dedicated, hilarious, hard-working humans by my side.

In five years we’ve:

Grown from a tiny team of 4 to a family of 29
Cared for thousands of pets and supported the humans who love them in our Monument community.
Built and moved into our own 5,000 sq ft space
Stayed locally owned in a profession increasingly shaped by corporate buyouts
Danced in the treatment room, cried in the breakroom, and belly-laughed in every space in between
Made plenty of mistakes, learned hard lessons, and gotten a little better every single day
Weathered a pandemic, burnout, supply shortages, and the ever-changing tide of veterinary medicine
Still managed to show up with heart, humor, and grit—every damn day

I am endlessly grateful:

To my team—you are the heartbeat of this place. Thank you for trusting me, challenging me, and choosing to do this hard and beautiful work alongside me.

To my husband, who continues to hold it all down at home. You have supported this dream with more patience and love than I can ever repay.

To our clients—you are my “why.” Thank you for entrusting us with your fur family and for being part of this wild, wonderful ride. Your kindness, loyalty, and belief in us means everything.

I won’t pretend every day has been easy. It hasn’t. But it’s been real, and it’s been worth it.

Five years in. No regrets. All heart. And we are just getting started.

This week, Officer Womack and Officer Tait responded to a call about two Pitbulls running loose near the 7000 block of North Academy Blvd. The dogs, scared and overheated after breaking and escaping through a fence, were gently approached by the officers, who both happen to have a love for animals. With a little cheese and a lot of patience, the officers were able to gain the pups’ trust and get them to safety.

They gave them fresh water and stayed with them until their owner arrived, who had been frantically searching for them.

These two big softies were just frightened and thirsty, and thankfully, they crossed paths with two officers who went above and beyond to help. Thank you, Officer Womack and Officer Tait, for looking out for all community members, even the four-legged ones. 🐶

As a reminder, summer heat can be dangerous for pets, especially dogs with short snouts like Bulldogs, Pugs, and Frenchies.

Watch for signs of overheating like excessive panting or drooling, bright red gums, wobbling, or vomiting. If you notice these signs, get your pet to a cool area, offer water, and call us immediately.
