Here are some of my favorite Valentines displayed in Loveland Colorado. The pet ones. The gay ones. The brave ones and the sappy ones.

I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and are having an amazing 2025 so far.
February 2024 was Pug Partners of Nebraska’s annual fundraising dinner Curly Tails and Cocktails. We had so much fun!
Dr. Backlund asked, “Who wants to help serve the homeless and near homeless and their pets in Omaha?”
“Well…I do,” I said.
So we did.
Blue smiling, knowing we are going to give him more peanut butter
Today was my second day helping at the Omaha Street Dog Coalition, a branch of the national Street Dog Coalition at Sienna Francis House in downtown Omaha.
I showed up fifteen minutes early as I always (mean to) do. I was surrounded by about fifty men milling about, many of whom helped bring in supplies and asked how they could help me set up and get started. I asked a guy passing by how he was, and he said, “wonderful! I am so blessed!” Maybe Dr. Taplett is right. Maybe life does begin outside your comfort zone. Sometimes.
I saw a few dogs the first time and ten dogs today (including four puppies!) Dr. Dobson saved my life by seeing the one cat who came in with his person today.
Man-man was a champ for his exam and vaccines!
It was so much fun. I can’t wait until the next time.
This is one strip of a series I created called, "When I Grow Up, I Want to be a Vet" from 2011 - 2012. You've asked if I am going to draw the comic again, and I loved doing it, so maybe. I started the comic to process difficult things in my career, and thankfully, I have not had so much to process once I got this all into comic form!
I will post the next strip of the series every Friday. The entire series can be found at When I Grow Up I Want to be a Vet.
The mortality of rodents - all pets really - makes me sad. Since I was making up Hammie, I made her immortal - Hammie Hamster Tuck Everlasting : )

I've always thought baby rodents were beautiful!

I've read the arguments for and against having coworkers as friends. But I just can't help it. Right up there with family and friends I've made outside of work are my coworkers. I love them so much, and I always have.

Once again Dr. Pete Bashara and his family invited the doctors and their spouses and other special guests to the Nebraska Humane Society party and fund raiser, Black Tie and Tails. It was held on Saturday, April 21, 2018. And once again it was one of Russ and my favorite evenings!
Here is a beautifully artistic super secret picture of the Bashara family. In reality, I just didn't get the lighting right : )
The night started with a silent auction (We won the bread basket and the bird feeder basket!). Next was dinner and a summary of some of the incredible things the Humane Society has accomplished this year.
I hardly got any pictures! We looked pretty dressy, and Dr. Taplett and Andrea Bashara (as always) looked GORGEOUS. The dogs were adorable. The cutest of the dogs was a black and tan Greyhound mix up for adoption (Nope, still holding steady at 2 dogs and 3 fish!)
We had such a good time, and are encouraged about all the Nebraska Humane Society continues to do for the animals and people of our city and beyond.
Thank you Dr. Bashara! We had a wonderful evening with all of you!!
Kelly and her family adopted a new puppy! Her name is Violet, and she is a Vizsla puppy. How cute is she?? And so sweet!
Good night Violet <3

Dr. Ethics took me on a ride in his hot air balloon once. It was so fun. I think he really would have loaned it to me to get home. He has some very kind tendencies. Also, it is a hot air balloon going to Omaha, like in Wizard of Oz : )
The other day, just because, the flower shop down the street from the 120th and Blondo Gentle Doctor location brought us this beautiful bouquet of flowers! It brightened our whole week <3
Thank you Stems! We love being your neighbors!
