Office

Terrye, Practice Manager
Terrye has been with Pet Vet since September of 2001.  Her position as Practice Manager doesn't mean that she is "practicing" to be a manager.  It means that she manages our veterinary "practice".  Basically, she shuffles a lot of paperwork and deals with all the problems associated with running any business.  She has been married to the same man, her high school sweetheart, for over twenty-five years.  They have one son, Levi, who is in college.  They  also have three other boys; Otto, Ozzie, & Scooter.  They are their lap warmers, otherwise known as cats!  Terrye has five laying hens and a rooster named Jack.  She plants and harvests a large vegetable garden every summer, as well as, fruit trees, grapes, and numerous berry vines.  She is an avid hunter and fisher and really enjoys any activity that gets her outdoors.
