Hi! My name is Birdie. You can find me at the front desk greeting you or yelling at my co workers. My days consist of taking naps in my cubby back in the pharmacy, snacking on churu’s and getting caught snagging a taste of the plastic garbage bags around the clinic, they are organic… so it’s ok. Also, on occasion you may find me and my brother Connor in a wrestling match… I always win. Ladies don’t start fights but they can finish them.

I am so excited to see you the next time you come visit Glen Lake Animal Hospital!

Hi! My name is Connor! You probably won’t see me around the clinic much since I do a lot of the “behind the scenes” work.

My job at Glen Lake Animal Hospital is very important. I take pride in being the emotional support assistant. I lay with the surgery patients on the warming blanket during dental cleanings so they feel comfortable and reassure them they’re in good hands! I also monitor the doctors to make sure they do everything correctly!
In my free time, I enjoy sleeping on clean towels, watching birds/squirrels, and snack time! (No, I don’t enjoy eating trash bags, in fact I think they’re the scariest creature!
