Viewing Lap of Love VetsDr. Bambi
Greater Houston Area
I am a proud Air Force brat. My family moved often when I was young, and we retired in the Florida Panhandle, specifically Fort Walton Beach along the Emerald Coast. There you’ll find the most beautiful beaches and soft sand. Fun fact, the sand there is made of fine quartz crystal. If you dig your feet in too quickly, the sand will “bark” or squeak!
When I was very young, I wanted to be either a veterinarian or a go-go dancer. Alas, I have no rhythm, so I chose to be a veterinarian. I believe it was a wise choice. Besides, with a name like "Bambi" it would seem that my career path was preordained.
My academic road to becoming a veterinarian began in a community college in New Jersey, continued at the University of Florida at Gainesville, and finished at “The” Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine in Columbus.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked in small animal and mixed animal medicine, relief services, mobile veterinary care, and regulatory work for USDA APHIS. However, my first love has always been practicing small animal medicine.
Through the years I have lost several of my fur babies during and they each hold a special place in my heart. I know making these end-of-life decisions for our fur babies is one of the most difficult things we have to do. I have witnessed the immense benefits of providing in-home end-of-life services. While never easy, this work is a sacred privilege. I feel honored and blessed to help pets make the transition in a comfortable and familiar environment, surrounded by love and support.
My spare time is spent with my cats, Gray-Dawg, a foster failure and Georgia, my one eyed beauty. I also co-own three dogs; Snooper, Brindle, and Angel (which she is not). I am lucky enough to live three houses down from my mother and sister, which is wonderful! When not catering to my fur babies, I love spending time with my mother and sister and crafting.
