Hi, my name is Gabby and I am Largo Veterinary Hospital’s March 2010 Pet of the Month. I am a 12-year-old Muted Calico Cat. I am special because for my first airplane ride, my stepdad bought me a $300 alligator bag. Who cares, mother says I’m worth it! I have trained her to feed me and brush me on command at any hour of the day or night. Shh…don’t tell, but my favorite treats are Lean Treats and Temptations. My favorite place to sleep is on my mom’s shoulder but I am allowed to sleep anywhere I wish. I only need and love my mother; I won’t let anyone else catch me or pick me up!

Hi, my name is Molly and I am Largo Veterinary Hospital’s February Pet of the Month. I am a 14-year-old Cocker Spaniel. I am special because I live to please. I love people, befriending other pets, and watching television. Ssh…don’t tell, but my favorite treats are cheese and fruit. Something funny that happened to me was the time I tried to climb a tree while chasing a squirrel. My owners love me so much that they consider me to be their “little girl.” I am so spoiled that I sleep anywhere I want, even on my owner’s bed.

Hi, my name is Loui and I am Largo Veterinary Hospital’s January Pet of the Month. I am a 5-year-old Domestic Shorthair cat that is a Hurricane Katrina survivor. I am extremely affectionate and love life. I enjoy playing and hanging out with my family more than anything. My favorite treat is wet cat food. Much to my mom’s dismay I love lizards, too! One time my mom threw a ball and I jumped four feet in the air to catch it. My owners love me so much that they let me play in my favorite part of the house: the screened in area around the pool. I am so spoiled that I even get to sleep with my owners.

Hi, my name is "Jasmine" and I am Largo Veterinary Hospital's December Pet of the Month. I am a 4-year-old Golden Retriever mix. I am special because I am a loving "rescue" who acts as the mother hen of my house. I am spoiled as I get to go just about anywhere with my owners. My mom loves me so much that she lets me sleep next to her. Sometimes I get in the bed and hide under the covers. My owners love me so much that they rescued a Springer Spaniel to be my little brother.

Hi, my name is "Pauli", and I am Largo Veterinary Hospital's November Pet of the Month. I am an 11-year-old American Domestic Shorthair. My mom says I'm special because I arrived at the front door shortly after my mom lost her husband. I am a miracle sent by him. A funny story about me was the time I got caught in the closet and couldn't get out. My mom loves me so much that she lets me sleep under her arm with her head on my chest. Ssh…don't tell Dr. Lutz or Dr. Wood but my favorite treat is Albacore tuna and crabmeat. I love to beg in the kitchen standing on my back legs. I also enjoy watching the golfers and runners from my porch. At the day's end, I can curl up anywhere I want for a catnap.

Hi, my name is "Cash", and I am Largo Veterinary Hospital's October Pet of the Month. I am a 16-year-old Spaniel Mix and was adopted from the SPCA when I was 3 years old. My mom and dad say I'm special because I can make them laugh every day. A funny story about me was the time my mom and dad asked me what I wanted and I said, "ooouuuttt!" Don't tell my friends, but my mom and dad call me Pookie Boy and Sweetie Baby all the time. My favorite treat is cheese and I love to try to hide my bones in the carpet. I am so spoiled that I get to sleep wherever I want.

Hi, my name is “Tiger” and I am Largo Veterinary Hospital’s September Pet of the Month. I am an 8-year-old American Maine Coon. My mom and dad say I’m special because I love people and I’m very social. I love to take walks with my full body harness leash. A funny story that happened to me was the time I had a chat with a dolphin. I am so spoiled that I get to sleep in my mom’s arm using her as my pillow and receiving my favorite treat, belly rubs!

Hi, my name is “Sasha” and I am Largo Veterinary Hospital’s August Pet of the Month. I am a 1-year-old Siberian husky. My mom and dad say I’m special by the way I protect my 5-year-old “human” brother. I love to chase the kitty but I know my limits with the kitty. I love to run and at my age I have a lot of energy. My mom and dad love me so much I get lots of kisses and I even get to sleep in the bed with them!

Hi, my name is “Peanut” and I am Largo Veterinary Hospital’s July Pet of the Month. I’m a 2 year-old Tabby Domestic Shorthair. I was adopted from the SPCA in 2006. I have an older brother named Snipper who was also adopted from the SPCA. If you ask Snipper about me he’ll tell you that I am a pain in the neck but he’ll also tell you that he loves me unconditionally! When I first came home from the SPCA Snipper and I sniffed each other from either side of the door for a couple of days and we have been best pals ever since! I love to cuddle in my moms lap. SSh… don’t tell Dr. Lutz and Dr. Wood but my favorite treat is ice cream. I am so spoiled that I get to sleep on my favorite spot, mom’s head!

Hi, my name is “Ringo” and I’m a one-year-old Dachshund. My mom says I’m special because I am the most compassionate dog and whenever she is sad I am right by her side. I love to chew and play with my mom’s guinea pig. Don’t tell Dr. Lutz or Dr. Wood, but my favorite treat is any kind of steak. My mom loves me so much she lets me sleep in the bed at night with her.

Hi, my name is “Casey” and I am Largo Veterinary Hospital’s May Pet of the Month. I am a 12yr old Domestic Medium Hair. I was adopted from Friends of Strays. I have had a history of stones in my bladder that caused me to have problems urinating. I had to have a surgery called urethrostomy that gave me a “new” way of urinating. I am on a special diet now and doing well. I love to greet everyone who comes to the door. A funny story about me is that we moved into a house with glass doors and I couldn’t see them. I kept running into them until my mom and dad put butterfly stickers on the doors. Ssh.. my favorite treats are anything I’m not allowed to have. I pretty much have full run of the house. I have my own door to the screened porch and step stools so I don’t have to jump high. It’s a cat life for me!
