Hillside Veterinary Clinic

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn one morning, when Hillside Veterinary Clinic’s doors were usually closed tight, a delivery driver pulled up with an unusual package. The clinic staff exchanged puzzled glances as they unwrapped it—inside was a small basket filled with freshly baked cookies. Curious, one of the vets took a bite and immediately burst out laughing—it tasted like something straight from a joke shop: banana-peanut butter-chili cookies! The delivery driver shrugged, saying only, ‘A neighbor sent them.’

2. At midnight, when Hillside Veterinary Clinic should’ve been quiet and empty, a delivery driver pulled up with an unusual package. The clinic’s lights flickered on as he approached the door, startling everyone inside. Inside, everyone froze for a moment before realizing it was just another late-night delivery of cat treats from a neighbor’s pet store. The lights blinked back off, and the night returned to its usual silence—except for someone whispering, ‘Who orders cat treats at midnight?’

3. At sunset, when Hillside Veterinary Clinic was already quiet for the day, a little girl pointed excitedly at something outside the window. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘is that a dog with antlers?’ The vet looked out and smiled. ‘No, sweetheart,’ she said gently. ‘That’s just our new mascot—a reindeer visiting from next door.’ The little girl giggled, and they both watched as the deer peacefully munched on some grass.}

4. At dusk, when Hillside Veterinary Clinic had long since locked its doors, an old neighbor muttered to himself, ‘I’ll bet that dog is plotting something tonight.’ Suddenly, a delivery driver pulled up and asked if anyone needed a late-night vaccination for their pet penguin. The clinic was quiet—except for one tiny whimper from behind the closed door.
