Goose, Maverick and Bogey

Goose, Maverick and Bogey are the newest members of the Foxboro Veterinary Hospital Family. These wily weasels are always up to some sort of mischief and make our days better by bringing a whole new sense of humour to the clinic. When Goose, Maverick and Bogey are not hard at work with their shenanigans you can find them curled up and napping (approximately 16 hours a day!)
