She then settled herself in Virginia Beach. She has three children, an Australian Shepherd, four tolerant cats, and a 'marginally cared-for' fish. She enjoys reading, hiking, tennis, stained glass, and carting short people to various sporting events. One day she will make a quilt.

She also has a soft spot for the area's feline patients!

When she's not here at the clinic, Dr. Oswald can be found running or spending quality time with her family and pets at home. She lives in Chesapeake with her 4 sons, a loving Labradoodle named Gracie; Jackson, the Yorkie mix who likes to think he's a cat; and a cat named Sebastian. she enjoys running, beach volleyball and spending time with her family exploring fun activities in her new home state. She looks forward to getting to know everyone soon! |
