We had the pleasure of meeting and photographing two wonderful dogs this weekend when Dr. Paige Evans took time out of her very busy schedule to join us for a romp at the farm. We met Dr. Evans when we photographed her cats two years ago.
New to the area at that time, Dr. Evans had recently arrived to complete her residency in veterinary ophthalmology at The Life Centre in Leesburg. A wonderful referral and emergency center here in northern Virginia that we feel lucky to have!
She moved here from the Los Angeles area and her two dogs, Potter & Josie, continue the commute while Paige finishes her residency.
They seem to handle this travel quite well and certainly seemed at home on Virginia soil! Potter, the black lab is totally attached to Josie. Josie, the older of the two, is happy to take the lead.
The pair have more in common than their bicoastal lifestyle. Both have undergone extensive surgeries – Josie had TPLOs done on her knees and Potter had reconstructive elbow surgery when he presented to Dr. Evan’s surgery center in Los Angeles with two broken front legs. The owner at the time seemed baffled as to how it might have happened and when presented with the surgical options and cost, elected to euthanize Potter.
Instead, Dr. Evans convinced her to sign Potter over to her and the rest is history.
So, these two dogs, with some pins and plates holding them together, are quite the jet setters. I wonder how they get through airport security with all that metal?
Thanks for coming out Potter & Josie. We had a lovely evening!
