I just wanted to post an update on two adorable kittens (Sonoma and Napa) I adopted in June. They are growing so quickly. They are now known as Morticia and Gomez. They are so much fun. A couple weeks after they came home, I was making iced coffee and accidentally dropped an ice cube on the floor. They heard it and started playing with it across the floor. Now, any time I go near the refrigerator, they are right there, looking up, waiting for me to throw them an ice cube. Fun stuff. -Steve Vaillancourt
Dr. Phil Good, owner of Town & Country Veterinary Clinic, received his Bachelor of Science with highest honors in Chemical Engineering from Georgia Tech in 2006. Phil finally came to his senses, realizing he’d much rather work with animals than in a chemical plant. Dr. Good obtained his doctorate in veterinary medicine from UGA in 2011.

Oh Suzie Q. Oh Suzie Q! Say you’ll be mine, all the time, Suzie Q. (What, you don’t know that song?) Suzie Q ALMOST didn’t selected to go to Petsmart adoptions a couple of weeks ago. And this couple ALMOST walked by without noticing her. But she did and they didn’t, and now she’s no…
Luke has left the building! Luke (on right) joins a family with two other canine playmates and doting parents! They looked at a number of dogs at local shelters and rescue groups and Luke won their hearts. Understandable. Congratulations to the new family and thank you for adopting!
