A lot of older dogs develop benign fatty masses under the skin called lipomas. Although they’re non-malignant, they can become quite large and may interfere with movement or add significant extra weight.

People often ask me what a lipoma actually looks and feels like. My usual description? Basically a big b**b implant.

Well, today we removed a particularly impressive one.

So many of you have graciously blessed me with some awesome fishing tackle, shop décor, and swag to make sure the mobile...

So many of you have graciously blessed me with some awesome fishing tackle, shop décor, and swag to make sure the mobile unit feels right at home in its nest.

For those keeping score… Wes Enlow just took the lead.

At this point, we probably have the most eclectic veterinary practice décor EVER.

We know Lake of the Ozarks. Maybe a little too well. 🎣🚤

The mobile unit may go 0-60 in 7.3 business days, but dang it… we look cool doing it.

Love y’all! ❤️

Just a schedule update for this week… I’ll be making a quick trip to Florida Wednesday - Friday to see family. Kerigan will be here and still available by phone.

After I return and to make up for my short absence, I’ll be working Labor Day weekend, Saturday and Sunday and possibly Monday.

Kerigan will be off Labor Day weekend for her birthday on 9/7!

Did you know most people use quart/liter oil bottles upside down?

Now you do. 🤣

The neck goes up, it prevents “glugging.”

Meet Moxie! We’re currently working with this beautiful German Shorthaired Pointer for progesterone monitoring to help determine the optimal timing for breeding.

There’s so much more that goes into thoughtfully breeding working dogs than simply producing the next litter. Preserving a working breed means protecting the traits that generations before us worked hard to establish… sound structure, temperament, natural ability, drive, endurance, and the instincts that allow these dogs to do the jobs they were bred to do.

The German Shorthaired Pointer has a rich working history, developed in Germany during the 1800s as a versatile hunting dog capable of pointing and retrieving game and working both on land and in water. Their athleticism, intelligence, stamina, and willingness to work have helped make the GSP an enduring and highly valued sporting breed.

Responsible breeding takes planning, testing, careful selection, and plenty of patience. Progesterone monitoring is one small but important piece of that process, helping owners make informed decisions about timing while working toward the larger goal: preserving the health, ability, and working heritage of these remarkable dogs for generations to come.

There’s regal… and then there’s Cavalier King Charles Spaniel regal like our boy, Bogey. 👑

With their soulful eyes, silky ears, and naturally noble bearing, it’s easy to see why these little dogs have been associated with royalty for centuries.

Descended from the toy spaniels cherished by European nobility and featured in 16th- and 17th-century paintings, Cavaliers became especially linked to King Charles II of England, whose beloved spaniels were constant companions. Bred to warm laps and provide devoted companionship, they remain just as affectionate and people-oriented today.

Like many breeds, Cavaliers can face health challenges, including heart disease. However, responsible breeding, regular veterinary care, and attentive monitoring can help manage many conditions and support a happy, fulfilling life.

Centuries later, they’re still doing exactly what they were meant to do: staying close to their humans and looking wonderfully regal while doing it.

When your vet is headed down the road to a different house but spots you in the front yard with your people…

Does your vet throw on the brakes, jump out of the mobile unit, and chase you around the yard?

We do. ❤️ Banks is the BEST—and easily one of our most fun patients. We couldn’t just drive by without stopping to say hi.
