We call on her to assist the technicians in preparing the surgical suite, assist the veterinarians in restraining any unruly animals, as well as a multitude of other tasks. She sometimes needs to be in two places at once, which even she finds hard to do. 
     Melinda grew up helping her mother run a shelter for homeless animals.  She naturally has several pets of her own, including 1 cat and 2 dogs.

         Suzie is the employee that has been at the clinic the longest.  She and Dr. Jack arrived just about the same time in 1982 and they are both still going strong.  Suzie is a veterinary assistant/ kennel nurse of the finest kind.  She arrives here before anyone else and makes sure the hospital is clean and the animals are comfortable.  She has many duties including stocking, handling animals, feeding, walking pets, etc. 
     Suzie is a hospice volunteer.  She takes her natural ability to comfort with her when she assists those in the last phase of their life.
