Dr. Melanie and her husband share their home with their two daughters, three dogs, Mabel, Catfish and Goose, two cats, Kinney and Judge Roy Bean and a fish tank or two. She also claims Waylon and Willie, but they're pretty sure they own the clinic and we are all just visiting. Their house is always a happening place and they couldn’t imagine things any different. In her free time she enjoys spending time and having fun with her family and friends, going to neighborhood and community events, cooking, going to sporting events and you may catch her at a refit or yoga class too. Dr. Melanie feels blessed every day because she gets to do what she loves using her veterinary knowledge and skills to help others.
