Prior to working at Analy, she was involved in child care; running a facility from home for five years and then moving on to adult care-giving. Trish was looking for a change of pace and since her four children kept bringing all sorts of creatures home, she decided that a job working with animals would be fun. Trish's free time is usually spent with her children, but she also enjoys photography.             Deanna Kennel Attendant Deanna was born and raised in Rohnert Park. When she is not taking care of the boarding animals at Analy Veterinary Hospital, she enjoys spending time with family, her animals (a 17lb cat named Buddy Boy and her Miniature Schnauzer, Lassie), and gardening. Animals have always been an important part of Deanna's life and she is a welcome addition to our staff.             Steve Veterinary Assistant Steve was born in Staten Island, New York.  Along with his career in plumbing and welding, Steve has been working on and off in the veterinary field since the early 1980’s.  He finds himself returning to the this profession as a result of his desire to give something back to the one constant joy in his life: animals.  When Steve is not in the clinic, he enjoys flying (he is a private pilot), motorcycle riding, and the study of large wildcats, especially lions and tigers.  Steve has also been studying Aikido martial arts for the past 15 years with some of the country’s top instructors. Steve lives locally with his pug, Violet, and his two dachshunds, Ruger and Jasmine.  Steve approaches life with an attitude exemplified by his favorite quote from Ben Franklin, “Well done is always better than well said.”                              Copyright ©2006-2007 Analy Veterinary Hospital
