DR. NETTIE NURTCH, MAGICAL-ANIMAL VETERINARIAN

THE HILLSIDE HOSPITAL

JUST BEFORE BEYOND, THE WOODS

999-111-SENSE

“What about Phoebe?” asked Clover. How were they supposed to give ashes medicine?

“Blow on the embers. Gently, mind. That should help. And I noticed one of the kits has been adopted. Was that recently?”

“Just yesterday,” said Clover.

“I handled the adoption,” said Oliver. “I’ll phone Sabine to make sure the young grimalkin is healthy.”

Sabine must be the witch’s name, thought Clover.

They were interrupted by a loud bleating outside.

“Time to go,” said Dr. Nurtch, closing her bag with a snap. “Nanny is good at keeping me on schedule. I’ve got to check up on Snort. Remember him, Clover?”

Of course she remembered Snort! He was the baby dragon she’d adopted out earlier in the summer. “Is he okay?” she asked.

“Oh, yes. He’s got that troublesome fire under control now, with the help of Henry. It’s just a normal checkup. Not like this.” Dr. Nurtch clucked her tongue again. “It’s really too bad Mr. Jams isn’t around. That Jams is always off fixing one sticky situation or another. Jams…Sticky…” She chuckled at her own joke, and Clover was surprised how very similar to Nanny her laugh sounded.

While Dr. Nurtch cleaned her supplies in preparation for her next appointment, Clover fetched Nanny from Gump, who looked relieved to see the goat go. Nanny nibbled at one of Clover’s braids. When she moved on to the collar of Clover’s dress, Clover was sure she saw Gump smirk. But before she could say anything to him, she felt a tug on the necklace. Nanny was nibbling at the chain!

“Stop that! You’ll get me into trouble,” said Clover, quickly pulling it away from the goat. She still hadn’t returned the necklace. There hadn’t been time! I’ll just keep wearing it for now, she thought. Until things settle down. After all, Oliver hadn’t noticed it was missing. For such a know-it-all, he wasn’t very observant.

Clover had just tucked the charm out of sight when Dr. Nurtch emerged with Oliver tagging along behind her. Slinging her bag across her square shoulder, the vet settled into the saddle and was off, but not without some final advice.

As Nanny lifted into the air, wobbling a little under the weight of the vet, Dr. Nurtch hollered, “Remember, two can be better than one—unless, of course, you’re a three-headed dog.”

It was the first thing the vet had said that didn’t really make sense.
