BARBARA BYRNE

Hi there. I'm Barb.

I've been at F.L.A.H. since 2006 and I mainly work in the lab area. I help the doctors in the room when I am needed; take care of the lab work and assist in the pharmacy. I've been working with animals for over 20 years and I have had various pets all my life; dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, salt and fresh water fish.

I have two great kids. My daughter, Meghan, is attending college. Kyle, my son, is in high school.  My children are big animal lovers too. Kyle tries to play the tough guy act but I always find him snuggling with the dog or one of the cats.  They are only part of my pride and joy

My four legged kids include Shammie, a little “poomaltdachpek” She’s a mix of Miniature Poodle, Maltese, Dachshund and Pekinese which I found out by using the Wisdom Panel Test. The Wisdom Panel Test is a genetic test that we offer here at the hospital that identifies the breeds that make up a mixed canine. She was rescued after being abandoned by her previous owner – it was love at first sight! She greets me at the end of the each day just as excited to see me as I am to see her.

Picala & Darla are my two beautiful and wonderful dilute tortie cats that I adopted through our hospital kitten adoption program.

At the end of the day, all three of my four legged kids curl up with me and I never complain about having the smallest spot in the bed.

Well, thanks for visiting my page and I look forward to seeing you and your pet(s) at F.L.A.H.
