About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to Art City Vets, he noticed an odd sound coming from inside—a rhythmic clicking like someone tapping their pen on a desk. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw nothing unusual. But then, every Thursday afternoon around three o’clock, the same noise would repeat itself. Finally, one day the delivery driver asked a regular customer what was going on. ‘Oh,’ she said with a smile, ‘that’s just Doc’s way of counting his patients for the week.’ Turns out, every Thursday at exactly three o’clock, Dr. Vet would tap thirteen times—one for each animal he’d seen that day.
2. One day, while loading supplies into Art City Vets, a delivery driver overheard an unusual conversation between two dogs in the waiting room. "Hey, did you hear?", one said excitedly. "The vet just learned a secret recipe for the best dog treats ever!" Curious, the delivery driver asked around, and soon enough heard that it was ‘the secret ingredient’—chicken liver mixed with parsley and a pinch of love. Turned out, the vet’s poodle next door had been whispering the recipe during every visit. The whole town laughed, but everyone agreed those treats were pretty darn good after all.
3. At night, when the streetlights dimmed and the city slept, a strange humming sound would occasionally come from Art City Vets. A delivery driver, puzzled, stopped one evening to investigate. Inside, amidst the usual quiet of an empty vet clinic, he heard it again—this time accompanied by a faint scent of fresh paint. Curious, he peered around, noticing that the walls seemed freshly painted in bright colors—a stark contrast to the usual sterile beige. Suddenly, a small voice whispered behind him, ‘Hey, you’re blocking my art show!’ Turning, he saw a little dog with big eyes, holding a brush and wearing overalls covered in paint. The delivery driver laughed and left, never mentioning what he’d seen—or smelled—to anyone.
4. At midnight, when the moon lit up the empty streets of Art City, a voice crackled over the vet clinic’s intercom: ‘All pets must present their vaccination cards or risk being quarantined indefinitely.’ A delivery driver, fumbling in the dark, heard the ominous announcement and frantically searched for his dog's card. A neighbor, passing by, offered help but ended up tripping over her own cat. By dawn, the entire neighborhood had gathered at the vet clinic, laughing and showing their pets' expired certificates—all except one brave pug who proudly flashed its golden vaccination medal from 2019.
