Injured Beagle Update/End of an Era


So far, at least $65.00 has been collected for the injured female beagle being treated at the Colbert Animal Clinic. If you haven't read about this courageous young pup, you can find her story at:

"John" obviously needs a permanent home--and a new name wouldn't be bad either.

Dr. William D. Lazenby Jr. is officially retiring from his veterinary practice in Florence. Most of us who have been fortunate to know Dr. Lazenby over the years call him "Chip."

I knew that Chip had limited his practice in the past few years, but am saddened that he will no longer be there to treat our animals. Chip studied under Dr. David Mussleman, who also retired this year. Life being what it is, veterinary care will go on in the Shoals, but it will never reach the learned and caring heights to which Chip brought it.

Chip has turned over his client/patient records to the Connolly Animal Clinic. I'm sure these two fine veterinarians will provide excellent care; however, if any feel that this practice is not for them for any reason, I highly recommend Dr. Sheila Gilbert on East Tennessee Street in Florence. She is knowledgeable, caring, and a great addition to the Shoals world of animal care.
