Pet Pointers

A weekly pet tip or other bit of information
from Maj. Felicia D. Langel, USMA Veterinarian 938-3817

The new mules are here!

The two black mules arrived at West Point from Iowa Aug. 2. They are healthy, have good appetites, and appear to be acclimating well to summer New York weather. The smaller mule’s name is Ranger II. The larger mule hasn’t been named yet. The Vet Clinic needs your help in naming him.

Log on to www.goarmysports.com to register your choice of a name for the new Army mule. Also, be sure to stop by the Vet Clinic (behind the post office) to welcome our new additions and to bid a fond farewell to Trooper and Traveler who will be retiring in September.
