<DIV><SPAN class=000084811-23112009><FONT size=2 face=Arial>am I the only one
that wonders what in the hell were the architects thinking when they designed
these vet offices? especially the new ones ... oh they're nice looking and
all...but you could be sitting there and a mouse could fart, and the noise would
echo and deafen you simply because the waiting area is ALL HARD SURFACES and no
good sound dampening effects like cloth murals or no animal garden flags hanging
from the ceilings perpendicular to the walls to add that sound killing objects,
or bush-like plants to again... cut down on the echo surface
area...</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=000084811-23112009><FONT size=2 face=Arial>our newer vet just
had an add-on built to replace their old and really cramped offices .... their
old office space was horribly cramped, the waiting area held 6 chairs, and was
big enough to have three adults stand side by side from wall to wall width wise,
and about 10 adults side by side in length. very cramped and if you went
in while someone who wasn't smart enough to sit at the furthest end with one of
those overly eager or aggressive dogs, you often couldn't get a seat because you
couldn't walk by their animal safely... </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=000084811-23112009><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The best exam room
I've been into, was also in a newer extension ... a member of the healthy paw's
chain in Virginia ... exam rooms were nearly master bedroom sized (15x20's), the
exam tables were built-in, and were seamless from open side to back where the
table's edge curved upward so that the wiping wouldn't need to work into cracks
-n- crevices, the seat was also molded into the back side of the table so that
you could sit back right next to the table with a ledge behind you in case your
hound wanted to see out the window and seek protection behind you ... it was
awesome! </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
