Lynn Munson
Lynn is the Practice Manager at Countryside and oversees all functions of the clinic. Lynn joined Countryside's team in December of 1999.
Lynn and her husband Chuck live close to New Richmond. They have 2 grown children: Andy and wife Mari, Amber and husband Wayne. They also have 10 grandchildren: Daisy, Veronica, Connor, Charlie, Sally, Mark, Travis, Nathan, Brayden, and Lila.
Lynn & Chuck (mostly Lynn!) enjoy the company of their four pets:
- Opie & Max - 2 Bichon Frises - Opie is the "good boy" and then there's Max!
- Rastus & Rachel - 2 matching brown tabby cats.
When not working, Lynn enjoys spending time with her family and trying to keep up with all of the grandchildren (quite a challenge). Lynn is an avid quilter and likes to garden. Chuck does most of the work in the garden, thank goodness! Lynn does not like to clean house as it cuts into her quilting time - however - Chuck likes to force the issue once in a while! He helps. She is a die-hard Green Bay Packer fan and spends the football season reminding Mary Bernd of the Vikings latest loss.
Simon
Simon became a member of the Countryside Veterinary Clinic family in September of 2002. He was found sitting on the side of the road by the Schwans man who picked him up and delivered him to us. He was a rather scraggly, beat-up looking little kitten of 5 or 6 weeks of age. We cleaned him up, treated his little cold and started looking for a permanent home for him. Before one was found, Simon wormed his way into our hearts and took the official position of "Clinic Cat".
Simon's main duty as Clinic Cat is making both clients and staff smile, and he fulfills this duty without fail. He fears neither man nor beast - no matter how large the beast may be. He has been known to walk up to 100 lb Rottweilers and sit under their noses. Simon can also be found napping on any abandoned dog bed, blanket, kennel, or the clothes drier. A favorite past time is stealing food.
Jared
Jared came to the clinic in 2009. He has a health issue that requires a special diet, and as we were looking for a special new home for him, he made himself at home here!
Jared is a very affectionate cat, and he will tell you what he wants with a special meow. He is also an expert at quickly occupying any vacated chair. Jared often spends his lunch hour one at least one person's lap.
