At the end of August, we celebrated the opening of our newly remodeled office! We’ve had a few months to enjoy it, and we are still so excited to have our building back and looking better than ever.

This change has been a long time coming. I’ve been here for 12 years, and the practice is 40, and this has been something I’ve wanted to do for a while. I’ve always liked our space and our location, but the inside never looked how I wanted it. Now, I am so proud to have an office that both looks amazing and accurately reflects what we do.
up sometimes! My mom likes to say, “She’s 9 years old and you would never
guess she had anything done.”
Because Mom loved Cavaliers like Gucci so much, she then decided to adopt a puppy from a breeder she knew. When she left for the day, I was wondering what this new pack member would be like. You can imagine my surprise, and Dad’s chagrin, when she came home not with just one puppy but three . In Gucci’s honor, Mom named them after luxury brands: Versace, Giorgio, and Chanel. Since I’m the pack leader, it was my duty to teach them the ropes at home. Even though it was a lot of work, I was happy to see how big our family had grown. Dr. Clark has kept me — like all my fur siblings before me — up to date with all my health needs. But my favorite person at the clinic is Dr. China Corum. Versace, Giorgio, and Chanel were some of Dr. Corum’s first patients, and it was through them that she became really close friends with Mom. They both really love pets, and the two of them ride horses together sometimes, too. Dr. Corum even has a coonhound named Johnnie, and we’re great friends. I’m also friends with her human daughter who loves to carry me around. I don’t mind — she’s always very gentle and gives me plenty of pets.
I used to dream about having a “nice, quiet, professional office” with nice furnishings, like my dentist, but vet clinics get DIRTY and are subject to destruction. It’s hard to have nice furniture or even a carpet
with animals coming and going. Veterinary clinics need to have a little more of an industrial aspect, and now, I have an office that’s perfect with high-end floors and furnishings that will hold up to abuse for a long time. When construction finished in early August, I wasn’t the only one who was thrilled to have it over and done with. Throughout the process, we lost two of our exam rooms, we had no doors for about a week (talk about chaos), and there was evidence of construction everywhere you looked. In the midst of the pandemic, it was a lot of stress for all of us, our clients, and their pets. But now, things are back to normal, and we have a fantastic office everyone is in love with. Getting our building back allowed everyone to take a deep breath and relax for maybe the first time in a while. These past three months working in our newly remodeled office has truly been bliss, and I’m hoping that our office continues creating a fantastic experience for all of us. And I’m glad I never have to do it again in my career!
One day, Dr. Corum, Johnnie, and her daughter came over to visit. The humans all sat down for dinner and that was when Dad convinced Dr. Corum to change my paperwork. Mom and Dad did a DNA test on me years ago and found out that I had a lot of different dog breeds as ancestors. Mom later said that Dr. Corum had to go through all these records to get it changed, and I’m happy she did. I am proud of my Chihuahua heritage but also very proud to now bear the breed of ancient Tibetan miniature wolf. See! I told you I have the paperwork to prove it! I’ve had a pack all my life. I grew up roaming the streets with one, but nothing beats the pack I have now. I love my family, our friends, and our doctors forever and always!
