RV's Corner

After seven years of companionship, RV was diagnosed with cancer. His bad days started to outnumber his good days, and on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, we said goodbye to RV. He was euthanized in the sunshine surrounded by his "harem," as we called ourselves. He is resting peacefully on our grounds. There will never be another cat like RV, and we miss him tremendously.

The following text about RV is left for you to read and enjoy.

Hello, I am the good-will ambassador of Lone Peak Vet Hospital. My job is to meet and greet you and your pets when you come in. Sometimes I slack on my job and you won't see me, but that's when I'm scouting the grounds. It is also my job to be petted and scratched, and to be fed treats. I take this part of my job very seriously.

My name is RV. Yes, I know, it's a silly name. I would have picked something more manly like Rex or Brando, but my people figured since I was a stray found in an RV park that it was more appropriate for me. I have a gimpy leg, back from the days of my rough and tumble life before Lone Peak. I am well-loved and well taken care of, and I know it!

Nobody's perfect, not even me. I have diabetes, and I receive regular insulin injections and have my blood tested frequently. Of course the diabetic thing was just a ploy to work my way into the hearts and minds at Lone Peak. Once I was established, I went into spontaneous remission! How convenient! My diabetes has since returned - I just needed the extra attention.

I am not exactly low-maintenance, but I'm worth it. I get regular baths and brushings and nail trims. I am adored by everyone here, as it should be. I do get a wild hair sometimes and run around the clinic with my bum wheel, playing hide and seek behind exam room doors. But my true calling is a cuddle kitty. I love naptime with my girls and boys (the vet techs). I almost became a mascot for the Utah Jazz basketball team, but my agent thought it would take my career in the wrong direction.

If you're in the area, pop in and say hi. I'd love to meet you. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the pictures and videos of me and my adoring fans.

Your new friend,

RV
