He's the most knowledgeable, patient, and kind vet I've ever worked with. (And I'm not just saying this because he reads this blog.) He truly empowers me to be a better pet parent. Over the last 6 years, Dr Bruss helped me keep Sydney comfortable in his final days and was by my side during the euthanasia. I now take both Monkey and George to see Dr Bruss and I think we can all agree my wee ones are the best (and healthiest!) around.

| Monkey: "Can you even see me?" George: "I'm planning your demise." |
Q: Hey, Bhan, you look so relaxed. Where do you go for a good massage?
A: Go see my guy, Dave, at Massage Envy.

I opt for a one-hour sports massage, which isn't too deep-tissue (there are no heroes on a massage table) and incorporates stretching and range of motion. It's truly excellent.
Whether you need your your bacon cured or your stress relieved... I got a guy fer that. And tell him/her/them that I sent ya.
