Pet of the Month-Jorgie

Our Pet of the Month for September is Jorgie! Jorgie is a five month old Chihuahua puppy owned by Donna, our surgical technician. He is Donna's rendition of "How Much Is That Puppy in the Window", for that is exactly how he came into her life. She was shopping for her other dogs and saw Jorgie, who then went home with her! He has settled into his new household quite well. Ruling the roost with his little Napoleon attitude.
