HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Since Halloween is tomorrow and we aren’t open, some of our staff took the opportunity to dress up today! We decided to have a friendly competition, so click on your favorite picture and “like” or “love” it and the staff member(s) who gets the most votes will win a gift card! Happy voting!

WHODUNIT??!?

Last week was veterinary technician appreciation week, and Dr. Edds added some fun and mystery to the week by playing a game of Veterinary Clue. Each day we got a recording of a podcast that interviewed a character and gave us information on who, where, and with what the crime was committed.

Take a look at the pictures of our suspects (you may recognize them 😉) and leave your guess as to whodunit!

VETERINARY TECHNICIAN APPRECIATION WEEK - RECEPTIONIST AND PHARMACY EDITION

Yeah, yeah, it's "technically" technician appreciation week but we take any opportunity we can get to celebrate all of our incredible staff! Dr. Edds has been busy spoiling us all week with lots of food and presents, not sure if you know it but she is the best boss EVER. And today I want to take the opportunity to give a special thanks to some of the faces you see and some you don't. These are often the unsung heroes of the clinic. Our receptionists are the first people you see when you enter the clinic and the first voice you hear when you call. They have to be prepared to answer a WIDE variety of questions or be able to find the answer. We often say that they have the most difficult job in the clinic. And let's talk about pharmacy. Our pharmacy manager handles everything from filling prescriptions to keeping track of inventory, ordering, stocking, and a million things in between. She's the one tracking down a doctor to see if your pet can have a refill of their medication or calling in a prescription to an outside pharmacy if we don't carry the medication you need. Bluegrass doesn't work without these special ladies. So, in keeping with the theme from yesterday, let me tell you a little about them.

ABBY: Pharmacy/Inventory Manager. No nonsense. Fixer of all the technical/computer issues in the clinic. Incredibly efficient. Calm under pressure. Has insane knitting and baking skills.

KELSEY: Receptionist. Calm and composed under pressure. Perfect mix of vetmed knowledge and office skills. Always has room at her house for another critter in need of a good home. Hard worker, huge heart.

CALLY: Newest addition to the BVC, our newest receptionist! Cally just started with us this past Monday so we haven't gotten a picture or gotten to know her too well yet. But from what I've seen already: calming presence but at the same time very proficient at her job. Vetmed and customer service background and it is very evident. Welcome addition to our crew!

I am so grateful for these ladies and the integral part they play in our clinic. To be able to entrust these vital areas of day to day operations to employees who are so efficient and excel at their job is not something I take for granted! I cannot count the number of times I need something done and they take care of it with a smile on their face. They are a blessing to me, to the rest of our staff, and to all our BVC family. If you see them, or any of our staff, make sure to tell them "thank you" for all they do!

VETERINARY TECHNICIAN WEEK APPRECIATION

Hey there, BVC fam! This is Yvonne, your friendly BVC office manager. Dr. Edds posted earlier this week, but I wanted an opportunity to talk about our incredible staff in honor of veterinary technician week. I just wanted to tell you a little bit about each of these incredible ladies and what makes them so unique (some are vetmed related, some not). In no particular order....

KYRUA: A wealth of knowledge about all things vetmed. Incredible detective skills (I mean, scary good). Has a tough exterior but the most caring heart you can ever find.

CATHERINE: Always willing to help, jumps in wherever she's needed. Cat whisperer. Tough as nails in an itty bitty body. Most likely to be caught baby talking to your pet.

LEXI: Strong desire to learn. Most contagious laugh you've ever heard. Always experimenting with her hair color. Feels deeply. Most likely to cry with you during a euthanasia.

JUDITH: Not afraid to try anything. A sucker for an animal needing a good home. Always keeps a smile on her face and a friendly demeanor. Most likely to have a full conversation with your pet.

JACQUELYN: Also known as "Grammy". A wealth of knowledge in surgery. Harder worker than anyone half her age. Keeps everyone laughing by telling stories in her Jersey accent. Most likely to say "kerfuffled" at least once a day.

CEILE: Levelheaded at all (well, most 😉) times. Incredibly experienced and efficient in both small and large animal. Wears her heart on her sleeve in the best possible way. Most likely to work through lunch without saying a word.

MCKENNA: Very motivated to learn and has grown so much in her vetmed skills since starting with us. Picks up extra shifts any time they are offered. Has a dry and hilarious sense of humor. Always has incredible nails. Most likely to grab multiple rooms to help keep the clinic moving.

SHELBY: Wise beyond her years. Grows and learns more by the day. Has a great attitude and always willing to help wherever is needed. Calm and confident demeanor. Don't let the braces and youthful appearance fool you, this one knows what she's doing. Most likely to spend her weekend at a rodeo.

There's so much more I could say about each of these ladies, but I hope I've given you a glimpse of what I see in each of them. Each brings unique talents and gifts to the clinic and is a part of what makes Bluegrass so special. Each of them drive me nuts sometimes, but at the end of the day I am honored to work with them. It's one of the joys of my life to see their love and care for every pet that walks through the doors. They are the heartbeat of the clinic and nothing happens here without them. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for all you do. It does not go unnoticed!

- Yvonne

P.S. Stay tuned for tomorrow, because I haven't even mentioned our receptionists or pharmacy manager and they have their time coming 😉.

We will make sure it gets to them!

100% LOCALLY OWNED

Did you know that Bluegrass Veterinary Clinic is 100% locally owned? That's right, when you come to the BVC, you are coming to a clinic that is locally and independently owned by the incomparable Dr. Kristin Edds.

Each day, more and more veterinary clinics are being bought out and becoming partially or completely corporately owned. But when you choose to come to Bluegrass Vet, you are choosing to bring your pet to a clinic that cares about and is invested in our pets and our community. This is where Dr. Edds lives and raises her family. We know about the people of the Upper Cumberland because we ARE the people of the Upper Cumberland.

So what does that mean for you and your pets? I'm glad you asked! Being 100% locally owned means that we are not held to rules set by people who have never set foot in our clinic or our community. We are free to make decisions based on practicing the best medicine possible for your pet while doing our best to stay within your budget. We can focus on finding the best treatment for YOUR pet and are free to build lasting, meaningful relationships with you as well as your furry family.

Here at the BVC, we pride ourselves on truly knowing you and your pets. Our days are filled with laughter over a story about something funny one of our patients did, and we also have moments of sadness as we see or hear something that reminds us of a beloved patient who has crossed the rainbow bridge. We remember you and your pets because we KNOW you and your pets and y'all have become our family, too.

To our clients, all we can say is thank you. Thank you for choosing us. Thank you for supporting our locally owned clinic and investing in our team and our patients. But most of all, thank you for allowing us to share life with you. The ups, the downs, and everything in between. It is truly an honor to do this life with all of you in a community that we are proud to call home. ❤

With all our love,
The staff at Bluegrass Vet
