The Pet Gallery: Page 3
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! |

Say hello to Ginger!
This adorable little puppy has just come in to see Dr. Johnson for her
first physical. Doesn't she look thrilled?! We gave her a small rawhide
bone to entertain her while we discussed basic puppy care with her conscientious
owner. Well, as you can see from the inset photo, Ginger found this exciting
beyond anything! |

We have pictured here a great lovable
Chow named Yoki. Chows do not have the best reputation, but Yoki works
to squash those rumors. Yoki's laissez-faire attitude about life would
surprise many if they only knew that Yoki can only see out of one eye.
(But he definitely doesn't let that stop him.) As a puppy, his family
knew another Chow named Yogi and during a car trip, someone saw a Suzuki
motorcycle and that name seemed to stick in their memory. So Yoki's
family compromised Yogi and Suzuki to get "Yoki." |

Emma. How does one describe
Emma? Quite simply, actually. She's a huge mastiff who's capacity for
gentleness is as big as herself.
Her medical story is actually quite
involved. We detail that in our Summer Newsletter of 2005. She has undergone
extensive blood and urine testing and endured countless needles. She
waits patiently while we collect our samples, but the look on her face
is almost heartbreaking and definitely makes us think twice about subjecting
her to another needle. She also tolerates younger energetic dogs quite
well as you can see her with Toby here. |

Okay. I admit it. I'm
slightly biased towards Callie. She's the only pet we know of who has
taken the time and energy to investigate this web site. See how enraptured
she is?! I haven't figured out how she typed in our address. Come to
think of it, she would know how to use a mouse. (Okay, I admit this
too, I need better jokes.) Seriously, Callie is a fine furry feline
who looks after two large labradors in her house, Flanagan and Nellie.
See how nicely they get along? |
||||
 |
||||
These two labradors live in the same household as
Callie (above). As you can see here, Flanagan has been looking after little Nellie since she
was a tiny pup. Nellie is so energetic that her family told us her name came from "Whoa! Nellie!"
She may have gotten her fire from Flanagan who is always active and happy to see Dr. J. |

As you can see, Schylar
(dressed in tan), is very protective of his little "brother," Henry
(dressed in grey). Actually, we hear that the two of then get into plenty
of trouble, on their own and together. Oh what is a young rambunctious
tomcat to do? (Find more mischief! That's what!) Although he takes his name from a notable writer, we believe he wishes to explore the trials of life first, including drinking from the bathtub! |

This tiny kitten was found by
a kind soul who wished to give him a home. We saw this little one to make sure he was
healthy and had no hidden medical surprises. We began his series of kitten vaccinations
and when we learn his new name, we will let you know. |

Annapurna is an energetic, adorable, spunky kitten. She's a Himalayan, so that might
tell you where she comes from. However, at first glance, its obvious that she has a
"Himalayan" amount of hair! Her name, "Annapurna," comes from the tallest mountain
in the Himalayan range. While we at North Shore Veterinary Clinic do not claim to
be geographers, we can vouch for this kitten's "Himalayan" amount of cuteness! |

Hanni's owner actually
took a creative approach to finding a dog's name. While this is a popular
method to finding names for children, this was the first we had ever
heard of to find a canine name: he perused a german children's book
of names. "Hanni" was the first name her owner came across. By coincidence,
it also turns out that "Hanni" is the german name for schnauzer. She's
a sweet dog, but she has the misfortune to deal with bladder stones.
She doesn't let them weigh her down though! |
