Smudge
In December of 2023, our clinic had to make a hard decision. Our Smudge has been treated for severe arthritis the last few years, and while treatments have helped her in the past, the day came where there were no more options available to offer her a comfortable life. We said goodbye to Smudge this past December (2023). She will be missed by many that walked through the doors at the Animal Clinic. She was often seen lounging and sun bathing herself at the front window, or popping into an exam room she didn’t belong in. In the treatment area she could be found snuggled in her corner, keeping an eye on what was going on or yelling at us for more treats. She would find her way into a cabinet left open or sneak into a cat carrier that wasn’t hers. She made sure to check on our patients that weren’t happy and offered comfort to our clients that needed it. We miss her greatly and know there are many clients that will, too.
