About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something unusual in the hospital’s parking lot—a large wooden carousel horse had mysteriously appeared overnight. No one claimed it, and no one seemed to miss it. Over the next few days, more horses joined the original one—all hand-painted and mismatched. A regular passing by asked if they were for sale, but the vet staff just shrugged and said, ‘They’re for the patients’ imaginations.’ Eventually, word spread, and neighbors started bringing their own colorful horses, turning the parking lot into a whimsical playground. Now, when kids visit Southwest Veterinary Hospital, they don’t just see animals getting checked up—they ride off into fantasy worlds on their favorite painted steeds.
2. A concerned neighbor stopped by one afternoon and asked: ‘Why does that dog always sit outside the vet clinic?’ The curious neighbor overheard a regular saying: ‘He’s not just any old dog—he’s our weather man! When it’s too cold or hot inside, he sits there until they fix it.’ Everyone laughed, including the delivery driver who’d been teasing him for weeks.
3. At night, a delivery driver parked outside the Southwest Veterinary Hospital and heard an odd sound coming from inside the building. It was like someone humming a familiar tune but in perfect pitch for a canine audience. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a shadowy figure—an old beagle with a harmonica around its neck, serenading patients as they dozed peacefully on their beds. The delivery driver chuckled, shook his head, and drove off, muttering something about ‘weird vet hospitals’ while leaving behind a smile on his face.
4. At dusk, a delivery driver pulled up to the Southwest Veterinary Hospital. Out of nowhere, he heard a voice whispering: 'Please help us, we're trapped!' Curious, he looked around but saw no one. Was it just his imagination? As he approached the hospital entrance, he noticed a small dog peeking out from behind a bush, its big eyes wide with fear. ‘It’s okay,’ he whispered softly, bending down to pick up the little fellow. The dog gave him a grateful lick on the cheek and then bounded off into the night. Turns out, it was just an overly curious canine who thought the delivery truck was a spaceship.
