I love this place. I love Dr. Atlas.

I love this place.  I love Dr. Atlas, the vet who took care of Teyla and Teal'c for me.  He asked about Teal'c first thing, and when I told him that he passed away last night he looked genuinely sad.  I really appreciated that.

I told him that his clinic was beautiful and really well thought-out.  I love that the rooms have doors (I hate that some vet offices don't.  It's a pain to hold leashes in a small space) and that the offices have whole doors on one side and split-in-half doors on the other.  The whole doors have windows all the way down so you can see if a critter is loose in the room, and of course you can see over the half-door, or close it totally for privacy.  Also, at the dog entrance they have slip leashes... I guess for those doofy people who think it's a good idea to take a dog in a place like that without.

After that he showed me around a little more.  I got to meet his foster tortoises.  He's also got a bird who's family brought her in to be put down because the family dog ripped her beak off.  He said he couldn't put her down, that he kept her and did a couple of surgeries, and that she's doing well now.  He has a good heart.  I only wish he was closer!

Any of you with exotic pets I definitely recommend this place.  For serious.  They are open late and on weekends.  Please don't let your exotic pet go without good care just because there is no one here in Anniston.  I promise you that this place is worth the drive.  ❤
