Nice to e-meet you! My name is Rolan Tripp...
These days it is possible we might never be in the same room, but that does not mean that I can't help you with my veterinary knowledge.
There is more information below, but as a veterinarian, I have always been fascinated by trying to understand how and what pets THINK. I created a website, www.PetHappiness.net, that can help anyone understand why pets engage in unwanted behavior and how to gently resolve any issues.
