Bentley and Shayna are adorable Havanese who belong to Doug and Rhonda.  They are wonderful, active dogs who enjoy walking and swimming.  After a busy day of exercise, they also love to sit on the couch and watch TV with their family.

Bentley and Shayna are special for so many reasons, but one thing that sets them apart is that they volunteer at senior facilities snuggling with and entertaining the residents.  Doug and Rhonda love their 4-legged companions and are happy to have them in their lives.

Christine has been a Client Care Coordinator and Veterinary Assistant here at Carver Lake Veterinary Center for over 2 years.  She was voted employee of the month for her upbeat attitude and ability to connect with our clients and patients.  She will be starting veterinary school this fall and we know she will be missed by not only her coworkers, but by many of our clients and their pets whose lives she has touched.

Carver Lake would like to thank Christine for all her hard work. We are so lucky to have had her as part of our team!  We wish her the best as she begins vet school - we'll miss her!!

Dear Mel,

My roomate keeps eating all of my food!  Any advice?

Your friend,
Hungry Harriet

Dear Hungry Harriet,

I can appreciate your problem, food is delicious and I certainly do not want someone stealing my treats!

I recommend hiding food in various places around your home.  Try secretly storing it in unexpected places, like under the covers in your bed.  Or, in between the cushions on the couch.  I just love finding those tasty treats around my house, and it will make it harder for your roommates to find...plus they'll be less likely to eat it even if they do discover your hiding spots.

Happy snacking!

Sincerely,

Melford Beauregard Hunter
