Cross Timbers Veterinary Center & Boarding Facility

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver arrived early one morning with a mysterious package. As he unloaded it into the back of the clinic, everyone noticed something odd—a small wooden sign reading ‘Free Horses for Good Home.’ The vet staff looked at each other, puzzled but intrigued. One of them joked, 'Guess we’re getting some new patients today!' Soon enough, neighbors started showing up with horses—some were real, others clearly plastic or cardboard cutouts. It turned out that someone had pranked the clinic, leaving behind a mix of genuine animals and humorous substitutes. The whole town ended up having a good laugh over it.

2. A concerned neighbor called late one night: ‘I keep hearing strange noises coming from Cross Timbers Veterinary Center!’ The receptionist replied calmly, ‘Oh, that’s just our new robotic doggy door testing itself.’ Soon after, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Is it true you’re testing a new robotic horse feeder?’ The vet tech laughed, ‘No, that’s just Mr. Johnson next door practicing his cowboy impressions again.’

3. A little girl visiting her family for the weekend couldn't take her eyes off the big sign outside Cross Timbers Veterinary Center. 'Mommy,' she whispered, pointing, 'what does “boarding facility” mean?' Her mom smiled and explained gently, ‘It’s where animals stay when their owners can’t be here.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully then asked curiously, ‘So they sleep there like us?’ With a laugh, her mom replied, “Yes, kind of—just with more wagging tails and purring hearts.”

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached Cross Timbers Veterinary Center, he stopped abruptly. The normally quiet parking lot was filled with an eerie whimpering sound—like dozens of tiny animals crying in distress. Curious, the driver peered inside and saw nothing but darkness. Suddenly, a small voice whispered from behind him: 'Hey, can you turn on some lights? It's really hard to sleep when you're supposed to be open!' Turning around, he found himself face-to-face with a sleepy-looking kitten who had clearly been left behind during the day.
