My wife Kathleen and I are blessed to have been "adopted" by two wonderful stray canines.  They teach us so much. 

Ruby, who is 10 this year, was a hit-and-run victim at 12 weeks old on Troost Avenue, then scooped off the street by Kathleen and brought to Rockhill with a broken femur and pelvis.  Dr. Stewart and all the great staff nursed her back to health' she has been the sweetest dog in all the world.

Chester, 4 this year, was a starving stray 3 years ago, and simply walked into our lives.  He was 25 lbs. (now 65!) and on death's door.  He, too, was lovingly cared for at Rockhill and has thrived ever since--a smart, soulful boy who has never forgotten those who nursed him back to life.  (Debbie just discovered that both dogs were brought in [to Rockhill Pet Clinic] for the first time on the same date--seven years apart!) 

Thanks to all the great people at Rockhill for participating in our great good fortune of Ruby and Chester.

 Fluffy Guy

Hi, this is Fluffy Guy Jenkins.  The reason I love coming to Rockhill Pet Clinic is simple, I love life and Dr. Stewart has saved mine more than once.  She could fill you in on all of the details of those awful diseases.  All I remember is the first one caused me to lose weight and not want to eat, which is awful because I am a big guy.  Dr. Stewart did all kinds of tests and sent me home with all kinds of medicine.  She taught the human I live with how to force feed me.  After weeks, I got better. 

Not too long after that was the more awful disease that everyone thought I would die from.  Dr. Stewart would draw fluid from my chest cavity and then I could breath so much better.  She did a lot of research and found the newest information available and off we went to Columbia, Missouri to have intricate surgery on my little ducts on my liver.  I did great.  

Thanks to Dr. Stewart and all of her caring staff, I'm back up to my happy 17 lbs. of feline fun.  Yes me and my human just love it at Rockhill Pet Clinic!
