SNAKE AVOIDANCE TRAINING?
Rattlesnakes will start becoming more active as the outdoor temperatures rise. As a reminder, make sure you and your dog stay on well-used trails and avoid tall grasses, weeds and underbrush. Never put your hands or step where you cannot see. Step on rocks and logs, not over them because you may not be able to see what’s on the other side. Consider signing your dog up for snake avoidance class— these classes are normally held very early in the spring. Check with your favorite veterinary clinic or pet resort for class schedules.

REMEMBERING SUSAN KLAGES, DVM
Dr. Sue, or Dr. K, as she was fondly known, passed away in late November 2018. She is remembered for her compassionate care of animals and thoughtfulness to the community. Vet on the Run, her mobile veterinary hospital, provided care for pets in their homes. Always ready to share her knowledge and teach, her passing leaves a hole in the community she served. Her family suggests, “in lieu of condolences or grief, please bravely smile through sadness in the memory of her strength, and show kindness to a stranger.” With that, Dr. K’s legacy will be well served.
