About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver arrived early with a crate full of sleepy kittens. As he approached the hospital door, an old tabby cat suddenly darted out from behind a bush and began following him, meowing insistently. The delivery driver looked down in surprise as the little tabby kept up, tail wagging. ‘Hey, fella,’ he said, scratching the kitten’s ear. The old vet emerged from the hospital, smiled, and called out, ‘That’s our new mascot! He’ll be here every day, scaring off bad dreams.’ And so, Promenade Veterinary Hospital gained its very own friendly neighborhood guardian.
2. Late one night, a concerned neighbor called the hospital, reporting strange sounds coming from the back room. The receptionist, puzzled but curious, peered through the door and saw nothing unusual—until she noticed the sign above the operating table: ‘Warning: Do not disturb animals in hibernation.’ Just then, an exhausted delivery driver walked in with a box of supplies. When he heard the story, he laughed and explained that it was his idea to use the hospital as a makeshift wildlife sanctuary during winter. Turns out, every year he secretly brings in local animals for a little rest and recovery before sending them on their way.
3. Late one afternoon, a curious veterinarian was examining an unusual new arrival when she noticed something peculiar. Suddenly, from behind the counter, emerged a tiny pug named Mr. Paws, who insisted on inspecting the patient himself. With his snooty demeanor and sharp bark, he declared, 'This is clearly not a dog!' The vet laughed, realizing that Mr. Paws had mistakenly been brought in for another check-up. The end result? A happy pug, a relieved owner, and a new rule at Promenade Veterinary Hospital: never leave your pets unattended.
4. Late one night, a worried neighbor called the hospital, reporting a peculiar scent like fresh-cut grass wafting through the air. The vet on duty, half-asleep, sniffed curiously and followed his nose outside. There, in front of the open window, was a delivery driver watering the hospital’s plants with a hose, oblivious to the chaos he’d caused. ‘Sorry,’ he mumbled sheepishly, “thought it was my own place.’
