"Popcorn" AKA "Poco"

Hello everyone, my name is Popcorn, also known as Poco. I just recently turned fourteen years old. I may be chubby and have a few miles on me but many people adore me, love me and tell me that I look great for my age.

Some people wonder how I got my name. Well, let me tell you. When I was a little white puffball about eight weeks old, I would always sleep in bed with mom and dad. So, there I was, purring and content until a foot moved the covers at the bottom of the bed. I would go CRAZY. I would have to chase, jump up, pop up in the air, and pounce on the feet that were moving. I guess my awesome and spectacular moves gave me my name. I may be much older now, but man, those feet moving under the covers still makes me go NUTS!

GOOD TIMES! GOOD TIMES!

I first came to Minnesota Veterinary Hospital in February for pain in my back leg. That all turned out great. But when my exam was done and they (Dr. Ahrens and staff) checked my mouth, they found that my teeth were badly decayed. I was back a few weeks later and had most of my teeth pulled during a major surgery.

I so much want to thank Dr. Ahrens and everyone that made me feel so much better and took great care of me. My mom and dad felt comfortable knowing that I was in good hands with such caring people.

All of Minnesota Veterinary Hospital's staff were wonderful and I want to thank them all again for all they did for me. My mouth hurt a while but I am now able to run around and play with my toys like I did many years ago.

And now a few words from mom and dad:

Fourteen years ago this spoiled brat became a part of our family. Thank you all so much for taking great care of Popcorn. She is, has been, and always will be a cat that is VERY unique from all others. I feel we are blessed to have her in our lives.

"Buster Joe Martin"

My name is Buster Joe Martin, Buster for short. I am a 11 year old Golden Retriever. I love being close to anyone that will pet me. I am a very energetic and happy dog! My #1

obsession is fetching a tennis ball, or any other toy that can be thrown around. One of my other favorites is my walk in the woods with my mom. I am also a champion pheasant hunter and look forward to every fall when I can make my Dad proud.

I can't wait until the summer when I can swim all day at our cabin. As you can see from pictures I love to Jet Ski too!!

I have had a tough winter dealing with the surgery to remove a rectal mass. Thanks to everyone at the Minnesota Veterinary Hospital it looks like I am going to be fine.

I am looking forward to many years of great health and lots more fun and games!!
