"I had to bring Short, my blue Pitt, back in to have a consultation with Dr Michelle Traylor. Short had been on medication the past week for her sensitive skin and Dr Traylor was checking her all over to make sure there strewn by any side effects she'd experienced. My Short is always so happy and excited to"go visit Doc and all her special friends. Doc had originally taken care of Shorty when she and her siblings were rescued at 3 weeks of age.We all just love Doc - full of love for all animals, so very compassionate, a genius who has the greatest personality and presence. Can't do without her!!!"
