Pickles & Ruby Sue

Pickles and Ruby Sue are Dr. Zielke's dogs. Pickles is a Wirehaired Pointing Griffon born in April 2025 (so she's just a puppy) who loves people and pets. She has a lot of energy (and personality!) so can get a little overexcited at times but she is working really hard on being a good girl in the office. Ruby Sue is a Golden Retriever who is pretty chill and loves the belly rubs she gets at the office. If you are allergic to dogs, scared of dogs, or aren't interested in meeting the dogs please let our office staff know!

Bugg

I am Rachel’s dog and have lived in the Blumhardt household since I was four and adopted into my forever home. I love cuddles and welcoming you at the Becoming Balanced lobby and leading you back to Rachel’s office. I am a pint-sized ball of sweetness and offer warmth and unconditional love. I am a Toy Schnauzer and hypoallergenic which means I am low dander, low shedding, and a safe companion for those with allergies. I have a gentle temperament, affectionate personality, and I am an all-around loyal co-therapist to Rachel in her clinical work. I love people and would enjoy joining you in your therapy session. If you would prefer to not have me be part of your visit please let Rachel, or our office staff know, and I will curl up in my crate and quietly wait till I can hang out with Rachel after your session. I will likely be in office most days; however, some days may stay home.
