NO! It’s NOT done yet!

With all that is going on these days, I’ve been having a hard time trying to find things to write about. After a long day of seeing fish patients, paddling and fixing up the new house, my extra time is devoted to solid vegging. The building construction is still held up in the permit office […]
Chaos, Sweet Chaos

Yes, I know I haven’t updated this page or my company site in over a month. Blame the short winter. Koi in outdoor ponds are starting to wake up early since the weather has been so nice and warm in our part of California. And with the koi come the parasites, infections and other fun […]
Getting Back in the Paddle

Sunday was the opening of the 2015 outrigger paddling season! Outrigger Santa Cruz had its first meeting of the season to discuss our racing season. Lots in store for the new season! Unfortunately, for those of you who paddle too, I will not have the same dedication to the team as I had last year. Priority […]
Waiting… waiting… waiting…

So… right now, I’m in limbo. The permits (second set, don’t ask) are hopefully working their way through the Santa Cruz county offices. Once those are issued, the builder said it will be a 2 month turn around. That, along with $80,000 (blech), should put us on track for a June 1st opening. Provided that […]
Opening: TBD

I wish I could tell you all that we will be open on an exact date in the future. The #1 question that I was asked by all family and friends this holiday, was “when is your opening day?” Sorry, people, but I don’t know. Right now, my architect is waiting on contractor bids for […]
SCORE Small Business Mentoring

Last night, I attended a SCORE SimpleSteps workshop, designed to help small business owners get up and running. Most of the information was a little too late for me, since I already have a corporation set up and a great team of accountants and lawyers, but I would highly recommend their services to anyone interested […]
New Logo

A few years ago, when I was first putting together Aquatic Veterinary Services, I approached a local Santa Cruz artist about coming up with a logo for my company. I have some limited artistic talent, but not enough to develop a logo that I would be happy with. My very first logo looked like this: […]

For those of you who missed UC Davis’ Pre-Health Conference a few months ago, you can still catch Dr. Sanders in her appearance on the Uncommon Veterinarian Panel discussion. Along with Dr. Serena Brenner (MS, DVM, Associate Veterinarian at Chabot Veterinary Clinic) and Dr. Curtis Eng (DVM, Staff Veterinarian at The Los Angeles Zoo), you can learn […]
Officially Official!

For those of you watching our company page, the official announcement about our new enterprise went out today. The lease has been approved and the architect is working on getting permits today. Two giant checks have been signed and the freak out has begun. I haven’t had a good night sleep since Thanksgiving. My brain […]

Well, it took you long enough! After 4 or 5 drafts, many talks with lawyers, realtors and owners, this 64 page behemoth of a document is finally signed. Aquatic Veterinary Services and Santa Cruz Koi’s new home will be at the Soquel Tower Plaza, 4061 Soquel Dr, Unit B, Soquel, CA. No idea yet on […]
