NEWS BRIEFS: Our partner, Dr. Larry Whitlatch, has retired to go on to his next job in life. He has a mountain property to develop, animals to see and fish to catch and, above all, time to spend with his wife Susan. We will miss him but if we don't see him often enough we'll forget to mail his check.
Our new veterinarian, Samantha Howard D.V.M., started June 23. She graduated from WSU Veterinary College and originally comes from farm country south of Spokane. She brings with her hounds, ferrets and a long history riding reining horses. We hope you will all welcome her to our family.
