Mary S.Veterinary Assistant
When Mary isn’t working she’d most often be found smirking over a drawing for herself or for a friend. Other times she’s romping on nearby trails, happily stomping in the sun, sleet, or rain. All weather is swell. Her coworkers delight her, which makes cleaning the clinic lighter. As she mops she giggles thinking of the staff. They’re all easy to admire, especially in times that seem so dire. They help her learn, help her grow, and help her laugh.
She’s got a cat named Schooby- the boy’s a great big gooby. He’s the only cat to never land on his feet. He finds Mary equally ungainly, for her dancing, mainly. But it’s better than living on the street.
