Spookie came to live with us about 10 years ago. Her previous owners named her Spookie because of her “Halloween” coloured fur. She is usually supervising the doctors in their office and on occasion visits the reception area.
When Zeta first arrived at Scott Veterinary Clinic she was somewhat feral and no one could get near her. Now she’s very friendly and frequently found lounging on the counter or chairs in the reception area. Don’t let her fool you-she’s very busy as Assistant Practice Manager. She keeps tabs on everyone in every department. She even makes sure the aquarium is cleaned properly. Keep up the good work, Zeta!
