🐶 Why Is My Dog Scooting?

Ah, the infamous butt-drag across the carpet. 😳

Your dog may look like they’re attempting a very questionable form of transportation, but scooting usually means something back there is bothering them.

Common culprits include:
🍑 Full or irritated a**l glands — one of the most common reasons
🪱 Parasites — certain intestinal parasites can cause itching
🌿 Allergies or skin irritation — itchy skin doesn’t stop at the tail
💩 Something stuck — sometimes the explanation really is that simple

An occasional scoot may not be cause for panic, but frequent scooting, licking, swelling, odor, discomfort, or changes around the rear end deserve a closer look.

And while your carpet may be getting a very personal message from your dog…we’d rather you give us a call. 😂🐾

🚨 TUESDAY OFFICE SUPERVISOR REPORT 🚨
Filed by: Guy, Office Supervisor, Head of Security, Quality Control Specialist & Senior Treat Inspector 🐾📋

Good morning, peasants. It is Tuesday, which means I have arrived at LIVE OAK VETERINARY HOSPITAL to perform the extremely important duties that apparently nobody else is qualified to handle.

First, I inspected the front desk.
✅ Humans present
✅ Computers functioning
❌ Snacks suspiciously absent

I then conducted a thorough examination of the office chairs, because apparently everyone thinks they can just sit wherever they want without my approval. WRONG. 😾

Next came the morning staff meeting, which I attended from a highly strategic location where I could stare directly into everyone’s soul while offering absolutely zero constructive input.

There was also some discussion about “getting things done today.”

I have reviewed this proposal and would like to formally respond:

No.

It is Tuesday. We need to pace ourselves. There are naps to schedule, windows to monitor, paperwork to sit on, and an entire hospital full of people who need my supervision. Frankly, I don’t know how this place functioned before me.

I will now be accepting applications for anyone wishing to provide me with treats, compliments, or a comfortable lap.

Please note: applications involving actual work will be immediately rejected. 😂

Have a wonderful Tuesday, everyone! Remember: work hard, stay hydrated, and if all else fails…

Take a nap and call it “strategic energy conservation.” 😴🐈‍⬛

🐾 Do pets actually get wiser with age?

Maybe not in the way we think of human wisdom—but ask anyone who's shared their life with a senior pet, and they'll probably tell you they do. Over the years, our pets seem to trade youthful mischief for something different. They learn our routines, recognize our moods, know exactly when dinner is five minutes late, and somehow always manage to find the sunniest spot in the house. They may not be solving philosophy problems, but they become remarkably good at understanding the people and world around them.

Science tells us that dogs can continue learning throughout their lives, even as they process new information a little more slowly with age. They also build years of experience, recognizing familiar people, routines, and environments.

Maybe that's why so many senior pets seem calmer, more patient, and perfectly content simply being close to the people they love.

Perhaps wisdom isn't about knowing everything.

Perhaps it's about knowing what matters.

❤️ A warm bed.
❤️ A familiar face.
❤️ A favorite toy.
❤️ One more walk.
❤️ One more treat.
❤️ One more day with the people they love.

We think our senior pets have life figured out better than most of us. 💛

🚨🐾 🚨 OFFICIAL MONDAY EMERGENCY BROADCAST 🚨🐾
FROM THE DESK OF OFFICE SUPERVISOR GUY, ESQUIRE, PhD, CEO, CFO, COO & HEAD OF ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING

Good morning, peasants. It is Monday. Again. I have checked the calendar personally, and I can confirm this is completely unacceptable. 😾

I arrived at Live Oak Veterinary Hospital this morning expecting a peaceful work environment, a warm sunbeam, and perhaps 47 Churu treats.

Instead, there were PEOPLE.
Talking.
Walking.
Doing things.
Making noises.

Frankly, it’s exhausting being the only qualified supervisor around here. 🙄🐱

My first order of business was to inspect the front desk. APPROVED.
Then I inspected the computers. APPROVED, although I did have to sit directly on one keyboard to ensure proper functionality.
I conducted a surprise employee inspection. Everyone failed.
I reviewed the snack inventory. CATASTROPHICALLY LOW.
I then held an emergency meeting with myself and unanimously voted to take the rest of the morning off. 😌

Unfortunately, management has informed me that this is not how employment works.

I have filed an official complaint with HR.

Unfortunately, I am HR.

So we are currently at an impasse. 😂

I shall therefore spend the remainder of the day performing critical supervisory duties including:

🐾 Sitting in inconvenient locations
🐾 Staring dramatically at people until they become uncomfortable
🐾 Inspecting every bag that enters the building
🐾 Supervising naps
🐾 Interrupting important conversations
🐾 Demanding snacks at inappropriate times
🐾 And reminding everyone that this hospital would collapse without me

You’re welcome.

Now if you’ll excuse me, there is a suspicious sunbeam forming on the floor and I have a very important meeting scheduled with it. ☀️🐈

Happy Monday from Guy, the hardest-working employee who has never actually worked a day in his life. 😂❤️🐾

🌈🐾 August 28 is Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day.

Some pets stay with us for a season.

Others stay with us for a lifetime...
..and all of them leave paw prints on our hearts forever.

Today, we honor the companions who greeted us at the door, curled up beside us after a long day, celebrated our happiest moments, and quietly comforted us through our hardest ones.

The love we share with our pets never truly ends. It lives on in the routines we still remember, the photos we can't help but smile at, the toys we can't quite put away, and the countless memories that make us laugh through the tears.

As a veterinary team, we know saying goodbye is one of the hardest parts of loving a pet. It's also one of the greatest privileges to have known a love so deep that their absence is still felt.

Today, we invite you to take a moment to remember the pets who helped shape your life. Whether they crossed the Rainbow Bridge recently or many years ago, they'll always be part of your story.

Until we meet again. ❤️🌈

🌞🐾 THURSDAY REPORT FROM THE OFFICE SUPERVISOR EXTRAORDINAIRE, GUY! 🐾🌞

Good morning, hoomans! It is I, Guy — Office Supervisor Extraordinaire, Chief Inspector of All Things Important, and Senior Director of Looking Handsome While Doing Absolutely Nothing. 😼📋

I have officially completed my morning rounds here at Live Oak Veterinary Hospital, and I have some observations to report:

☑️ Staff are working.
☑️ Patients are being cared for.
☑️ Phones are ringing.
☑️ Someone is probably looking for me.
☑️ My food bowl requires immediate investigation.
☑️ The sunbeam is currently occupied by ME. 😎☀️

Frankly, I’m not sure how everyone manages without my leadership.

I have spent a significant portion of this morning supervising from a comfortable location, providing occasional concerned facial expressions, and reminding the staff that productivity is important—but so is taking time to admire me. 😹

And if you happen to see me lounging around the office today, please understand that I am NOT napping.

I am conducting an extended supervisory evaluation with my eyes closed. There is a difference. 😂

Now, if everyone will excuse me, I have a very important meeting with my sunbeam.

Carry on, employees. I’m watching. 👀🐾

🐾 WEDNESDAY OFFICE REPORT FROM SUPERVISOR GUY 🐾

Good morning, hoomans! 👔🐱

It is Wednesday, which means we are officially halfway through the workweek—and I have decided that is plenty of working for one week. Frankly, I feel we should all be taking a mandatory midweek nap. Preferably somewhere warm. Preferably with snacks nearby. 😴

I arrived at the office bright and early this morning to perform my usual supervisory duties, which include:

🐾 Inspecting the office
🐾 Monitoring the staff
🐾 Checking for unauthorized snacks
🐾 Providing emotional support through my adorable presence
🐾 Supervising absolutely nothing from a comfortable position
🐾 And, most importantly, reminding everyone that I am the boss.

The staff seems to believe they are running this hospital, but I allow them to maintain that illusion because it keeps them productive. 😂

So if you’re visiting Live Oak Veterinary Hospital today, please remember to give your favorite four-legged patients some extra love—and if you see me on duty, feel free to thank me personally for keeping this entire operation running smoothly. 💙🐾

Now, if everyone could please get back to work, I have an extremely important appointment with my sunbeam. ☀️😼

🐾 TUESDAY OFFICE REPORT FROM SUPERVISOR GUY 🐾

Good morning, employees, patients, parents, and all other people who apparently think they can walk into MY office without an appointment. 😼

It’s Tuesday, and I have already completed my morning inspection of the premises. Floors? Acceptable. Staff? Questionable. Treat supply? Concerningly low. 😾

I have also reviewed the schedule and would like to remind everyone that I am available for all important supervisory duties today, including:
🐾 Sitting in the middle of the office
🐾 Staring at employees until they feel productive
🐾 Supervising snack distribution
🐾 Providing unsolicited opinions
🐾 Taking strategic naps
🐾 Looking adorable while contributing absolutely nothing to the actual workload

I take my position as Office Supervisor very seriously. Someone has to make sure everyone is doing their job correctly… and clearly, that someone is ME. 😎🐈‍⬛

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have an extremely important meeting with my sunbeam. It has arrived precisely on schedule. ☀️🐾

Carry on, staff. I’ll be watching. 👀

📚🐾 Back to School... Is Your Pet Ready for the New Semester?

While the kids are getting ready for class, it's the perfect time to make sure your pet is ready for the season ahead, too!

Think of this as your pet's Back-to-School Report Card:

✅ Vaccines up to date
✅ Flea, tick, and heartworm prevention current
✅ Annual wellness exam completed
✅ Dental health checked
✅ Microchip information up to date
✅ Excellent attendance at veterinary visits

Just like routine checkups help children stay healthy and ready to learn, preventive veterinary care helps your pet stay happy, healthy, and ready for every adventure the season brings.

If your pet has a few boxes left unchecked, don't worry—there's still time to get them caught up before the busy fall season begins.

After all, the best students are the ones who come prepared... and we think your pet deserves an A+ in health! 🎓🐶🐱
