Speck's Waggin' on Down the Road!

 

 

Hi again!

I just wanted to let every one know, that I'll be wagging on down the road...

  Me and my Mommy will no longer be here at the Hospital. So I won't be able to keep telling you stories about what happens around here.    

  For a little guy,like me, writing over 80 posts for all of you is something I'm really proud of. 

  I'll miss the many furry and human pals I've made here. I can't tell you how much me and Mommy will miss all the friends we've made.

A new Kitten Friend!

My best friend: Stella!

And a kinda scary friend: Nugget...She tried to hop on my head.

  I'm really gonna miss Dr. Jackson. She took so good care of my brothers and sisters. Talk about an awesome Doctor. She's the best!

  I think, what I'll miss the most, is helping my Mom put on all of the super fun Holiday celebrations! 

 

  
 Our Halloween Photo Contest was awesome too! Seeing everyone in their costumes was really fun! But, choosing a winner every year was really hard!

 
 I've only been around for five of the Hospitals famous Holiday photo sessions for our Clients and Patients. But Mommy has been making sure that Santa came to see us for 14 years! 

  Helping her (well kinda, I'm pretty tiny) put up the Hospitals Holiday decorations was so much fun. 

  I loved watching the bids go up on our Silent Auction Baskets! I never imagined how generous our Clients could be!

  And making all of our raffle baskets to raise donations for the Pets in Need Fund, was the best feeling ever!

  I know how much she loved wrapping up our seasonal raffle Gift Baskets. The baskets were a special "Thank You" to our wonderful Clients!

  My Mom also took some pretty funny pictures of me for my blog. Some were pretty over the top:

I know it was Easter. But really? A Bunny Costume?

I think you knew how much I hated snakes, Mom

                                             

 I always had fun though. Even with all the crazy costumes and poses she put me in.

Really, Mommy? In my bathing suit?

 

Did you really have to take my picture while I was in the tub?

 
 Even though I won't be at this Hospital anymore. There's a great big world out there for me to explore and write about.



I'll definitely keep telling stories. Just in a different place!


And I'd love it if you joined me!  


  I'll always keep the promise I made to all of you, over four years ago. To tell you happy stories, funny stories, and sometimes very emotional ones too.

Let's face it, Mom. No one believed this one...

Happy 50th Anniversary to our Hospital!

The Hospital was originally a trailer, that was parked across the street.

Wow! It's been awhile.

  Sorry I've been away for so long, but when I tell you why, you'll totally understand!

 I had to help get ready for our Open House, Santa Photos and our 50th Anniversary!

That right! Our 50th! 

  Laguna Hills Animal Hospital has been here since 1966! And we are super proud of that.

 

The first time Dr. Acton saw our Hospital

    
 Dr. Acton took ownership on June 1st. 1983 and he was beginning an amazing journey. 

  Remodeling came first. Dr. Acton began a 20 year long process, making everything super cool and comfy for us furry guys. No detail was missed. He did it all!

. 

Our original Pet Store

  One of the first things: a new Pet Store! Looking back at the photos, he did a really good job! Now you can pick up anything, from pet food to toys!

  
  And you wouldn't have believed how the inside AND outside of the Hospital changed too! Everything was renovated to be the best hospital ever!

 

Our new sign!

Dr. Acton checks out the progress

  
  We just kept growing and growing. It was awesome!  Signs went up and walls went up and everything just kept getting bigger and better! 

A tired Dr. Acton takes a quick break during the construction

 Dr. Acton worked and keep his dream growing. More and more Clients and Patients kept coming. They loved our Hospital so much, Dr. Acton had to keep making it even bigger!

  All I've gotta say is, I LOVE this place! And without Dr. Acton, his hard work and his commitment to all of us, Laguna Hills Animal Hospital would still be, just a dream.
  
I just wished I had been around then to watch it all happen,

Speck
