Behind the Scenes: Ethan's Journey as an Intern at Gregory Veterinary Clinic



Dear readers! 

My name is Ethan Russell, I’m 16, and I have an internship at Gregory Veterinary Clinic, 1316 W Bearss Avenue. Today’s blog entry will be a description of myself and what I work on here at Gregory. 


I started my 80 hour internship on April first of this year. So far, I have met over 100 pets, with many more to come! I mainly see dogs, but that is because I hang around in Dog Treatment. The clinic is split into 3 sections. Facing from the front, the left side is Dog Side. This includes three dog runs, which hold one dog each. It has four exam rooms, a main treatment area, two surgery rooms, and Dog Lobby. In the middle of the clinic is the break room, back porch, and admin. On the right side is Cat Side. This has Cat Lobby, Cat Treatment, two exam rooms, cat kennels, laundry room, and Dr Ryan’s office. 


Speaking of Dr Ryan, the staff is amazing. I have absolutely zero bad things to say about them! My mentor and supervisor is Savannah. She is awesome. She prints my to-do list every day, answers my many questions with a smile, and is always cheerful. My boss, Erin, is very helpful. She gave me a chance to work here and for that I am eternally grateful. All in all, the people who work here deserve only the best!


My favorite dog I’ve seen so far is probably a German Shepherd named Verdun. He was here for an exam, and no one knew what his name meant. The owner was elderly, and very kind. Now, I’m a huge military guy, interested in anything combat, so naturally, I knew what Verdun was. In World War One, the longest battle took place in France, between the French and Germans, lasting for 303 days. It was centered in Verdun. The owner must’ve had some connection to the place. The staff and owner were pretty impressed! 


So, to wrap everything up, my name is Ethan, I work at a vet clinic, and if your pet needs help, bring them to 1316 W Bearss Avenue, Gregory Veterinary Clinic!
