Meet the Norman family! Angie and Andrew and their son Townsend have Polly Pocket Outlaw Norman...Polly to her friends, but we love to use her whole name, which is longer than she is! We love when this family comes in for a visit or to stay for a while for grooming. You will love getting to know them too!

Tell us about your family – humans and pets!

We are the Normans: Andrew, Angie, Townsend (11 months) and Polly Pocket Outlaw (2-year-old Yorkshire Terrier).

What do the adults in the family do for a living and for fun?

We co-founded and run the nonprofit Hear Nebraska, which works to tell a new Nebraska story through our state's music — via multimedia journalism and events. Learn more at hearnebraska.org!

What does Townsend do for fun?

Townes loves to push things, including a walker, chairs, his high chair and just about anything else he can find. He is also super into balloons right now, and communicates through variations of grunts. 

Tell us more about the pets you have now and the pets you have had in the past.

Polly is our family's first and only pet. She has a tremendous amount of character and charm. She's also sweet as can be. She went from being the baby in the family to the big sister recently, and has done an amazing job of transitioning. (It took a bit before she got used to sharing attention, though). She is incredibly patient, even as Townes confuses petting with hair pulling.

Tell us about when you first met the Gentle Doctor team or a story about the team others may not know.

From our first interaction with the Gentle Doctor team, we felt like they were part of our family. We always look forward to seeing them, and just really appreciate how much everyone over there genuinely cares about our family. We love you gals!
