We tried to talk some handsome Hollywood folks into posing for us, but couldn't find any takers. They refused
to work for dog treats or catnip, so our homely but wholesome mugs will have to do!
Dave Jolly is the owner, designer and vet-in-charge of the hospital. He is a
graduate of Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine, did his
undergraduate work at Michigan State University, and owned a practice in
Michigan for a number of years before moving west. Shortly after this picture was
taken, he fell over onto the concrete support you can see behind him and had to
be rescued by the RCMP. Thankfully, he does a better job at veterinary
medicine than he does at squinting into cameras and falling over fences.
Caitlin Seward is one of the hospital's fine veterinary technicians and
loves critters of all sorts. She originally hails from Illinois, is married with
one very smart young son, and treats all of the patients as though they
were her own. Apart from occasionally rolling her Bronco on the way to
work, she is a stupendous vet tech.
Jennifer Johnson (on the right) is our head receptionist and always
cheerful pug baby sitter. Friendly and welcoming to a fault, she will make
you feel at home as soon as you walk in the door. Her hobbies are
guide-dog raising and husbanding her husband LeRoy, about whom
more below.
The beagle puppy wanders in from
time-to-time and threatens us with dire
consequences if we see too many cats or fail
to show proper respect for canines in
general.He is one tough little hombre, and we
don't mess with him per instructions.
This is LeRoy Johnson, Jennifer's husband, and a truly skilled
veterinary technician if ever there was one, as you can easily see from
his poised demeanor in this picture. At least his adopted son Danson
seems to think so, given his obvious adoration and attentiveness to
Leroy's wise guidance.
Danson also loves Faye Hotchkiss, as well he
should, because Faye has taken to the job of vet
assistant like, well, a lab like Danson takes to water.
Faye is finding life in a vet hospital to be
challenging but fulfilling, because she gets to do
what she likes best - help animals of all sorts.
