In our own words, here's why we love our pets:
Dr. Folland
"This was my first dog, Duke. He was a handsome Dalmatian who received comments everywhere he went. When he was one-year-old, he stepped on a piece of glass and severely cut the tendons in his paw. After two surgeries and numerous visits to the veterinarian, he healed completely. On our final visit to the vet, Dr. Coulter offered me a job to work at his office. I consider that opportunity my 'start' in veterinary medicine, which 45 years later, I have found to be a most interesting and rewarding career."
Dr. Stearns
"There were
so many reasons to love my wonderful dog, Guy, but I think my favorite trait of
all was his unabashed love of people. He never met a person he didn’t
immediately love and want to snuggle with. If you let him, he’d try to fit his
whole 90 pound body in your lap, otherwise he’d settle for just laying his head in
your lap & taking whatever attention you’d be willing to send his way. He’d
greet whoever came to the door – not always politely but always with the best
of intentions. His smile was readily available
to brighten your day, and his fur was thick enough to absorb any number of
tears. I will miss you always, my handsome man!"

| Zippy |
"Zippy is an 18-year-old female yellow-naped Amazon. She
is the first yellow-naped baby I raised from Zachary and Sunny. She is
very social and loves to play little vocal games with people when they come to
visit. She is a very fluent talker like her father, but has a terrible singing
voice. She was learning to sing opera from my sweet little Scooter, but
unfortunately Scooter passed away over two years ago. It's obvious her
lessons were cut short since she sings completely off key. In fact
listening to her sing can be quite a painful experience to one's ears.
Nevertheless, she is quite entertaining as has a sweet disposition like
her mama. I love her very much!"
Christine
Jenny
"Apache is a 10-year-old
Pomeranian. She's my spunky little girl, runs the household, and gives the best
cuddles."
"Feda is a 2-year-old German
Shepherd. She is the worst guard dog ever, a sweet girl, full of energy, and probably the world's
pickiest eater."
Audrey
"All of my ferrets were special
and unique. They provided my husband, Andy, and me more love and joy in the short time
they were with us than most people have all their lives. Every day I
think of them and remember the cute little quirks they had. I miss all of
them with all my heart."
In loving memory of Satchmo, Casey, Roscoe, Isabella, Ben, Matilda, Stanley, Edgar, Abner and Ralphie.
Ashlee
"This is Burley and Dakota.
Burley is a 3-year-old Pomeranian that I rescued from a puppy mill at 5 weeks, and Dakota is a 1-year-old Border Collie mix that came to us from the Human Society. They do
everything together, go outside, eat, sleep, and play--you will rarely
find them apart. They both have their own fun personalities and that's what
makes them so loveable! I don't' know what my family would do if we didn't
get to come home to their sweet faces every night!"
"Tiki, our Yorkie, came to us through a friend four years ago, with an unknown history and a lot of issues. She immediately bonded with my wife, Debbie, and the two are still inseparable. We're probably Tiki's third or fourth home, but she's happily settled into her forever family!"

| Tiki |
"Tinkerbell was Parrish
Creek's clinic cat when I started working here 12 years ago, and she and I
hit it off from day one. I adopted her and she immediately took over
the house, and has even managed to convert more than one self-proclaimed 'cat hater'!"
