About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the moon was full and the streets quiet, a little girl named Emma would visit Rose City Veterinary Hospital with her toy stethoscope. The receptionist noticed how she always stopped in front of one particular door, whispering something no one could hear. One day, a delivery driver mentioned seeing Emma talking to an empty box outside. Turned out it was just her new friend, Mr. Boxer—a cardboard cutout from last week’s shipment. Since then, everyone knew not to disturb her serious conversations with Mr. Boxer or any other boxes around the hospital.
2. At closing time one foggy afternoon, an old delivery driver pulled up to the hospital's gate. ‘Anyone seen my truck?’ he asked the receptionist over the intercom. She shook her head. Then, from inside the empty building came a faint voice: “It's right here, Bob… in the parking lot.” The receptionist frowned and said into the intercom, 'Bob, you're not helping. The truck is parked outside.' A moment later, a familiar voice called back, 'Then why don't you come out and see it, honey?' And just like that, everyone burst out laughing—including the poor confused neighbor who had been standing behind the counter, holding a clipboard.
3. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up to the Rose City Veterinary Hospital with a peculiar package. The receptionist raised an eyebrow as he explained it was for ‘an urgent appointment’ from the vet himself. The receptionist shrugged and accepted the box, only to discover later that day it contained nothing more than a basket of fresh flowers from a grateful neighbor who’d been helped by one of the vets earlier. Everyone had a good laugh over coffee, especially when they found out the neighbor had mistakenly ordered them online while trying to surprise his pet dog’s doctor.
4. At midnight, when only crickets chirped outside, a strange humming sound filled the air near Rose City Veterinary Hospital. A passing jogger stopped mid-stride, puzzled by the eerie melody that seemed to come from nowhere. Curious, the jogger approached the hospital’s entrance and saw an old cat peering out from behind a bush, its tail gently waving in time with the hum. Startled by his presence, it yawned widely, revealing a tiny earbud nestled in its ear. The vet must’ve left it there during a late-night shift, everyone concluded the next morning.
