Let it snow, let it snow


I guess we can say we are in winter now! For those reading in areas other than central Illinois, we have had about 6-8 inches of snow. I'm not sure of the official total, but it is a bunch around the clinic.

And as we started the new year, we want to thank all of you for allowing us to serve you and your pet over the past year. We strive to improve our knowledge, and pass that on to you.

If you have not done so, join us as a fan on facebook! We are having some fun with it.

We also sponsored a pet CPR certification class.

Unfortunately, it was last night, and with all the snow, many who wanted to attend could not. We would like to reschedule the class. Our challenge is that "Jerry" - our CPR dog, is borrowed from Parkland Community College which has a Veterinary Technician degree program.

We will check with them and see if "Jerry" can come out and play again !

So what do you do to prepare for an emergency? Did you run out to buy your shovel earlier this week, or did you have one?
What about salt?
Did you check your snow blower (if you have one) before this week?

I did and all my kids were ready to go. ;-)
I even got them some extra scarves!

But they are happy as long as there is hot chocolate waiting for them when they get in the house! Ahh the simple things.

I do miss our Newfoundland, Zinn. He loved the snow and would be outside with me all the time when I was shoveling the snow. The colder it was the better he liked it.

Adena is not so happy with that. :-)
