VUMC Pets of the Day: Becky and Marshall

Today’s Cat of the Day is Becky, submitted by Amy Kiernan of Orthopaedics. “Becky is 8 years old and was adopted almost six years ago. Her favorite things are laser toys, sitting on the top of the couch, and bird watching.”

Today’s Dog of the Day is Marshall, submitted by Zachary Porlier of Health IT. “This is the Bernedoodle Marshall, patiently waiting to go for a walk. He is allergic to chicken and beef and is on a strict diet, but also thinks everyone is his friend and probably would be easy to kidnap. When he stands on his hind legs, he is about 6 feet tall.”

Pets of the Day — what you need to know

The Vanderbilt University Medical Center Pets of the Day are included in regular editions of the MyVUMC News newsletter, which is posted twice a week by VUMC News and Communications.

The pets are selected from the hundreds of entries sent to the VUMC Voice Pet Photo Contest.

For those who submitted a photo to that contest, watch MyVUMC News for Pets of the Day, and in addition, regular collections of pet photos are posted to the VUMC Voice site. You can see them all here: https://news.vumc.org/section/voice/pets-vumc/.

If you have a pet you would like to nominate for Pet of the Day, the next Pet Photo Contest submission period is coming up later this year, and will be announced in MyVUMC News.

Becky and Marshall were featured in the Nov. 21, 2024 edition of MyVUMC News.
