Gabby Smith, Hospital Royalty

Gabby Smith lived with her pet mother in St. Louis. Her mother had to have surgery so Gabby stayed by herself.  Her mother is an old friend of Dr. Beisswenger so Dr. Beisswenger cared for Gabby in her home for months.  Gabby definitely did not think she needed her medication and even resorted to biting Dr. Beisswenger.  Her mother had to go into assisted living so Gabby came to live with us. Gabby definitely runs the show.

At the end of the day if we feel a little stressed we turn out the lights and watch the goldfish swim around. What a great way to end the day.
