A Brief Pet Bio of Pamela Gerds DVM

One characteristic shared by many of Pamela's Pets are the long lives they enjoy.
Also notable is that numerous ones were rescue pets.

So rather instead of a bunch of stock photos and clip art you might see on most vet web sites, here are some real pictures right from the family photo album. In fact, just about every last one of the pictures on this site were taken by us.


Here is a brief profile of Pamela's Pets over the years.
 

Scout – Pictured above as a puppy. He is a long-haired miniature dachshund.  I watched him being born in 2000 at the animal hospital and adopted him two months later.

St Cloud MN Animal Hospital. Here is Scout today with his classic pose.

---

Biwabik – She was brought in as a stray and her original home could not be found.  Now she has a microchip!

 We adopted her fall of 2008, when she was approximately one year old. She donated blood to have a Wisdom Panel performed.  The results showed that she is unequivocally a Yorkipoo (Yorkshire Terrier and Toy Poodle).

By the way, the microchip paid off when she unknowingly ran off.

She was brought to a nearby pet hospital and she was recovered within an hour.

Solo – Tennessee Walker and Quarter Horse cross.  Approx. 14 yrs old. We have had him since 2006.

---

Levi – Quarter Horse and Morgan? Cross.  Approximately 14 years old.  We have had him since 2006.  Also great for riding and capable of very good speed. Here he is celebrating the arrival of Spring in Minnesota.

---

The Goat – (AKA, Avon) - She is a 2002 model…..of some kind, not sure of the breed.  Levi is her favorite horse friend and she is never far from him.  We have had her since 2005.

The closest ID we could guess at was Australian Feral Goat based on pictures found on the Web.

---

Annie – she was given this name because she was a “’Little Orphan Annie”.  She was brought in at two days of age for euthanasia…..the owner instead surrendered her to me.  She grew well on her bottled formula!  She was with me for 12 years.

---

Sparkle – Toy poodle from Junior High on.  I frequently made him pose in outfits for pictures.  He didn’t seem to mind.  He got snacks out of the deal.  He was with me for 16 years.

---

Sterling – Silver Toy Poodle #2.  Sterling was frequently draped across my lap during classes at Vet School.  He was with me for 16 years.

---

Trevor – Portuguese Water Dog.  I rescued him from being a sugery dog in Vet School. He was only 6 months old and I performed several major surgeries in Vet School on him before I was able to take him home to live with me.  Trevor was with me for 17 years.

---

Cedar – Long-haired Tabby cat.  She was a part of a research project at the University of Minnesota.  Once retired from the study, I was able to adopt her.  She enjoyed 17 more years.

Here is Tom an American Yupik Eskimo with Scout & Trevor . . . 

I rescued him from a life of endless corporate acquisitions, layoffs and Jam Band music festivals.  So far I've trained him to keep the ice cube trays full, the Ice tea fresh and have dinner ready when I get home.

He helps me every day at the Pet  Hospital and at home. I really Love this Guy.
He really allows me to help you! It's like having a 10 Gig back up flash drive that cooks.

Tom once was once a database marketing genius and still is. His skill set includes database design, managing data, keeping it accurate and training folks on how to use the data to make life good.

He designs and builds small wood boats for a hobby and is fixing up a few vintage flat fender Jeeps from the late 40's. He works on this web site and has one of his own: www.finewoodwatercraft.com.
