Dr. Sharin tackled Disney's multiple-day marathon

1/24/2019

Great thanks to my friends who accompanied me on my quest, my family who came to cheer me on "win or lose", my staff who held down the fort when I was gone, and my clients who were so nice to my relief vet and understanding of our reduced hours that week.

In what's appropriately called The Dopey Challenge:
I ran a 5k on Thursday, a 10k on Friday, a half marathon on Saturday and most of a full marathon on Sunday. Unfortunately, I came up lame in my heel at mile 5, and gimped along until mile 23.5, until my knee decided it was tired of compensating.

I dropped out after running 45.5 out of 48.6 miles. Disappointed? Not really. I gave it my all and had absolutely the most fun ever! Family, friends, fellow runners, Disney cast members. I met so many kind and generous people and saw so many new aspects to Disney. I might even try it again next January!

… the inside of your clothes are covered in animal hair.
… the smell of ear cleaner has become the new fragrance you wear.
… you can play connect the dots on your hands.
… you have several uses for bread bags.
… you can express anal glands better than you can express your feelings.
… you find yourself palpating a dog you intended to pet.

Dr. Sharin was narrowly missed by a deer at Jersey Shore Half Marathon at Sandy Hook, NJ!

10/9/2018

The reports on patch.com, nj.com and app.com are true! As Dr. Sharin, owner of Barnside Veterinary Hospital, was running toward mile 10 of the Jersey Shore Half Marathon at Sandy Hook, NJ on Sunday October 7, she heard a great crashing from the scrubland to her right. Whipping around, she saw a young buck deer bolt across the pathway behind her and knock over another runner who was wearing headphones and hadn’t heard the commotion.

Fortunately, first-aid and an ambulance were nearby. The stunned and bruised runner still managed to finish the race, cheered on by Dr. Sharin and other runners who witnessed the incident. As the deer was not wearing a bib number, it did not receive an official time.

Baby Koi ! Oh Boy !

7/9/2016

In honor of the birth of our great nation, the koi at Barnside Veterinary Hospital decided to give birth too!

It's a game of "Where's Waldo" trying to get an accurate head-count, but it appears that we have at least a half a dozen new baby koi.

When Barnside Veterinary Hospital opened 8 years ago, we started with four koi, which doubled in size and tripled in population.

We welcome these babies and wish them a long life here at Barnside!
