Squirrel M.
Supervisor, Security
Squirrel came to Murdoch Vet clinic in May 2010 with a broken leg. She can be found sleeping on the treatment desk, treatment table, various chairs…. basically any horizontal surface! But don’t let her apparent sleepy personality fool you she stalks the staff in the hall, grabbing a leg as they walk by. She has a favorite ‘baby’ toy which she yowls and screams at… but only if she thinks no one is looking. One of her favorite past times is to use Dr. Murdochs office plant as a litter box!
