Dakota
Vet Nurse/Owner of Blue Toast the Quaker.
She's in denial about owning Blue Toast but he told us he's adopting her whether she likes it or not and if it's written on the internet it must be true.

Chicken Head

Sarah
Student Nurse.

Ok so we haven't trapped her with a camera yet either.  We found a chicken with cool hair like Sarah's though.

The Tickles

Tickles and Evil Tickles. (Clinic Quakers.)

These guys rule the clinic.  If you call and can't hear us over the angry Quaker screams, someone probably just touched their moon shaped mirror.

If you haven't met them yet - you want to.  Yell Peekaboo - they'll yell it back.

Their job description includes: yelling at telemarketers when they're dumb enough to ring the clinic, throwing things at the staff and walls and of course greeting and sorting out our clients.

They bring an amazing amount of comfort to those who have received bad news.

Their special skills include pooping on people on command.  So don't mess with us, we've got feathered weapons.
