The Pet Gallery: Page 1
Welcome to our Pet Gallery. Get to know our friendly, fun, fantastic, furry friends. We'd love to add your fuzzy family member to our mix. Please e-mail a photo or three to djohnmedcomp@yahoo.com and put "Pet Gallery" in the subject. Include your pet's name and a little note about how your pet received it or simply just a cute story. Who knows, your little (or not so little) one may even become a professor and "teach" a subject in our library! |

Obviously, this is Ribozyme. He is an eight year
old cat who sleeps better than just about anyone except Rip Van Winkle.
What is a ribozyme? (Not ribosome.) It’s a ribonucleic acid that exhibits
enzymatic properties. His owner has a biochemistry degree, that's how a
cat receives a name like that. |

Dr. Johnson's house has never been without a
Labrador. Libby is his first yellow incarnation of the breed. Many of our
clients have seen her at the clinic and she usually amazes them with her
extraordinary leaping abilities. Contrary to popular rumor, "Libby"
is not short for Liberty or Libertarian or anything else, just Libby. Why
"Libby?" "Why not?" say her owners. |

Oliver the Grinch just awoke from his nap. Either
that or he's upset that his owner just took off to Europe and left him all
alone. Oliver was adopted later in his life but he has a good home now.
Oliver the Grinch is an amalgam of Oliver from Oliver Twist and Dr. Seuss's
Grinch "who stole Christmas." If anyone can explain it, please
let us know. |

Raven, a lovable one year old black Labrador,
is chewing her favorite stuffed toy. She has more than enough energy for
any three dogs and she expends it jumping any moment she gets a chance.
Why "Raven?" What else do you name an energetic, sleek bodied,
jet black dog? Somehow "Crow" just doesn't sound the same. |

Finnegan came into the world just
weeks ago as of this picture. He's just realizing he is a puppy
and has lots of time to fill with play and exploration. That treat is
to give Finnegan a distraction to focus on before he receives one of his
booster vaccinations that all puppies should get. |

Amber here is getting ready to go
home after she had surgery this morning. She's an eight year old golden
retriever who's really sweet and loves attention. (Amber. Golden Retriever.
Get it?) |

Katie was adopted from the Evanston
Animal Shelter in Oct. 1996 and they named her Katie. We are told Katie
loves coming to North Shore Veterinary Clinic because she thinks we have
the best treats in town. Meeting Katie is an instant attitude boost because
it's hard to be down when someone is so energetically glad to see you.
(Especially if you have those special treats!) |

Duchess is another of our brand new
puppies. She is the new female royalty in a household that already
has a "Duke." Believe us when we say she will be well cared
for and pampered. Soon she will be ruling her new roost but we think Duke
will mind, he assumes his feline authority is unquestionable. |
||||

Please meet our three newest boxer
puppies. We expect them to get into plenty of mischief in the near future.
What else should anyone expect from three litter mates, there will always
be one waking from a nap when another goes to sleep. Louis Lane and Krypto
obviously hail from the chronicles of Superman. Aslan is the lion from
the story of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. |

Kobe is a young energetic
mixed breed. His namesake has not had the best press exposure of late.
But, after meeting this Kobe, no one would have any doubt that canine
Kobe could easily fill in for human Kobe on the court and sink a dunk
if he just had a good assist. |
