At Home Administrators

Many of us at the practice have furry friends in our homes who help keep us on task.  We like to refer to them as our "at home administrators".  We've included some profiles for the furry friends who keep us  going!
Picture
Name: Buddy (Jenna's administrator)
Likes: Belly rubs, adventure, & attention
Dislikes: Being ignored
Managerial Style: Paws-on, demanding, & mushy

Picture
​Name: Lola (one of Kim's administrators)
Lola: Hello everyone, I'm Lola. I am one of the administrators for Kimberly (and anyone who is willing to share a tasty treat). I'm responsible for accompanying Kim on her lunch breaks. I must admit, I carry quite a bit of anxiety. Thunderstorms, wind can get me really worried and nothing is worse than the FedEx trucks. My humans are great as they give me lots of snuggles, pets, cookies and build me my thunderfort whenever I need it. I love the outdoors, snow and sun alike and it's where I can chase my younger brother Rocco and chew on the best sticks our backyard has to offer. My skills include tap dancing, backyard drift racing and alerting my humans of every moving thing outside with my big girl bark. I may be small, and I am mighty.

Name: Rocco (one of Kim's administrators)
​Rocco: Hiya, I'm Rocco. I'm Kimberly's other administrator. My jobs include enforcing lunch and snack breaks and collecting required snack taxes. I'm also a great assistant during telehealth sessions, serving as a furry foot rest or a secondary sound machine with my snoring. I can sometimes struggle with boundaries and being in other people's "bubbles." I'm the fastest 4 legged drifter you'll ever meet and am quite the tug-of-war opponent. At the end of the day, I'll never pass on an opportunity for ear scritches and to snuggle up close and give unconditional love.

Picture
Flash (one of Amanda's administrators)
Likes: Scavenging for food, sleeping, getting his claws stuck in things

Dakota (Justina's administrator)
Hi There! I am Justina’s assistant a 9 year old Rottie. I like to patrol the neighborhood, protect my family and bark at anyone or anything that passes. I am a gentle soul who loves my owners, even the little one who is learning how to pet. Job duties include making an appearance to brighten someone’s day! I also enjoy eating, sleeping, playing ball and going on short walks. ​
