About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Ross Osage Animal Clinic, a regular customer once exclaimed, 'I thought my dog only had three legs, but now I’m not so sure!' Since then, some locals claim they’ve seen strange shadows darting between the exam rooms. One night, a delivery driver swears he heard a faint meow coming from behind an examining table. When he peeked inside, there was nothing but an empty collar and a tuft of fur. Ever since then, late-night visitors sometimes catch glimpses of a tiny ghost kitten prowling the halls.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to the clinic one afternoon, fumbling with an oversized box. As he tried to maneuver it into the building, the box suddenly sprung open, revealing not just supplies but a small herd of adorable kittens. The delivery driver looked around in surprise, then grinned sheepishly and said, ‘Guess I accidentally ordered myself a litter of furry little friends!’ A nearby vet tech laughed and joked that maybe they could start a new pet adoption program. The kittens quickly became internet sensations, bringing joy to everyone who saw them—even if they did cause quite a commotion at the clinic that day.

3. In the early morning hours, when most clinics were quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to the Ross Osage Animal Clinic, struggling to fit a massive crate into his truck. As he fumbled with the crate, a sleepy-looking dog inside started barking furiously. The driver cursed under his breath and accidentally knocked over a nearby trash can. A concerned neighbor peered out their window, asking, ‘Is everything okay there?’ With a sheepish smile, the driver replied, ‘Just trying to deliver a very cranky patient.’

4. At the Ross Osage Animal Clinic, a concerned neighbor asked one day: ‘Why does it smell like bacon every time I walk past here?’ The vet looked up from her microscope and smiled. 'Ah,' she said, 'that's because we're cooking bacon for our canine patients!' The neighbor blinked several times before realizing the absurdity of the explanation. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned the clinic’s unique scent, they’d just laugh and say, "Oh, that must be where they cook bacon!" It became part of the town’s quirky charm.
