The second visit by the Sacramento SPCA pet wellness van to Rancho Murieta on Sunday meant several pet owners in need of the second of a two-part vaccine or a follow-up wellness visit didn’t have to go any farther than the Gazebo parking lot. Technician Lili Rodrigues injects 4-month-old Isabella as she is held close by Robin Kauffman and as another technician tries to distract the dog with a dab of peanut butter. The puppy received her first injections at the Sept. 9 clinic. The Rancho Murieta Association Recreation Committee arranged for two mobile pet wellness clinic visits to provide microchipping to make it easier to find lost pets. Staffed by a veterinarian and several technicians, the clinic also provided vaccines, flea and tick control, and vouchers for spay and neuter. Nine dogs and two cats were treated, compared to 23 pets at the first clinic. Click for larger image. Read more » about Isabella makes a second visit to the vet

The written report is still to come from Quincy Engineering, but a conversation about Thursday’s inspection of the pedestrian bridge yielded nothing but good news, Rod Hart, the Rancho Murieta Association’s maintenance manager, said Friday. He said Quincy is recommending a maintenance schedule for the bridge and an engineering inspection every 10 years. Quincy, based in Rancho Cordova, did the engineering for the bridge when it was built a decade ago. Hart said Quincy’s report will be made available to the community once it’s received.
