Baxter is a fun loving Westie that enjoys relaxing with his family at home. His sister, Maxine the cat, gets much of his attention as he chases her around the house until she gives up and jumps to a height that he can not reach her. He also enjoys long afternoon naps in the sunshine, playing fetch with his ball and chasing the squirrels around the pool. Baxter enjoys road trips to Starbucks, his friends house, and of course to visit Oaks Veterinary Hospital staff.

Meet my golden friend Riley, he was a Christmas gift 3yrs ago and truly epitomizes the
saying: The gift that keeps on giving. A master of facial expressions, he is still a pup
at the age of 3. He actively plays with people and fur friends of all ages. His favorite
games with my grandchildren are; Tag and Fetch. He always manages to wear them out
for great nap times for all. His favorite toys are balls, sticks, and Frisbees. His best fur
friends are Bailey, Joe, and Fred. He grew up in Gainesville and loves to still visit the
dog parks and walk the trails there, now he is living on the farm in Citra with an instant
dog park as soon as he steps outside the house. His love for family and friends knows no
bounds. When visiting Oak Vets, he greets Mandy and Tish by standing up at the counter
to say “HI”. Though we have full days every day of work and games, I would have to say
that my favorite time is when he sleeps at my side and I can watch him relive the events
of the day in his puppy dreams. A special thanks to everyone at Oaks for helping me keep
him active, happy and healthy!! Happy Holidays to ALL!
