Laurie
is a native of Portland and has been working in veterinary medicine
for the last nine years. Her experience includes conventional and
holistic veterinary care as well as extensive veterinary physical
therapy and rehab work. Over the past six years she has worked
with many disabled, senior, and special needs dogs (including two
of her own), which led her to become a Certified Small Animal Massage Practitioner and Reiki Practitioner in 2007. She established her own canine massage practice, From Head to Tail Canine Massage, at that time. (You can visit her website, www.head2tailcaninemassage.com, for more information.)
Laurie
grew up with dogs, rabbits, fish, salamanders (and other creatures from
the creek in the woods), occasional horses, and later, cats. Her
involvement in veterinary care grew from her passion for all animals as
well as the express needs of her own dogs and cats. Laurie has a chocolate Lab, Lexi, a very special, special-needs girl; Hunter, an exuberant 10 year old black Lab; and two orange tabbies, Fiona and ZuZu, both full of the typical orange tabby attitude!

Hannah "Banana" became the official
greeter in our clinic after being
adopted by Dr. Bob. She possesses the amazing balance of friendliness,
compassion, and respect that makes a true clinic critter!! Hannah has
been known to put both clients and patients at ease in the clinic
setting, volunteering herself freely as an unofficial therapy dog of
sorts. In her free time, Hannah lives for food and fetch!!

Lexi
Lexi is the
"unofficial" clinic dog, second only to Hannah Banana. She comes to
work daily with Laurie, our clinic manager. Lexi likes to greet
clients and patients, and spends much of her time searching for food and
treats (after all, she is a Lab!) She also likes to snooze in Laurie's
office when the mood strikes her.
