About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Why does Dr. Jenkins always greet me with such a big smile when I bring vaccines here?’ A neighbor once joked, ‘Maybe he thinks you’re delivering him donuts instead of vaccines!’ The delivery driver laughed it off, but every now and then, he’d secretly hope for a fresh batch of pastries. Alas, Live Oak’s only treats were for the animals.
2. One day, an unusual announcement came over the hospital intercom: 'Attention please—if you see your pet licking its paws excessively today, it might be because our new air conditioning unit smells like freshly baked cookies!' Soon enough, a delivery driver arrived with a box of freshly-baked cookies for the staff. A regular customer joked, ‘Maybe they should just turn off the AC and open a bakery!’ The vet laughed and replied, ‘At least now we know why Fluffy’s been so happy today.’
3. One afternoon, while stocking supplies in the backroom, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the shelf: a tiny pair of old-fashioned spectacles, complete with a dusty leather case and a single note scribbled inside that read, ‘For the doctor who sees clearly.’ Curious, he placed them gently on his nose and found they fit perfectly. Suddenly, he could see every little detail—even the microscopic scratches on the floor tiles. Startled, he removed them, only to hear a soft voice from behind say, 'Now you know why I wear these.' Turning around, he saw an owl perched on a nearby branch, winking wisely.
4. At dawn, when most animals were still dreaming, a delivery driver heard an odd sound coming from the storeroom. Inside, he found Dr. Jenkins humming softly and carefully arranging bandages into alphabetical order. Curious, the driver asked what on earth she was doing. With a smile, Dr. Jenkins replied, 'Well, you see, each bandage has its own personality. They like to be arranged just so.' The next day, a neighbor dropped off some extra bandages with a note: "For Live Oak’s unique sorting method."
