Jaime Dragan - Veterinary Receptionist / Assistant

UPDATE: A BOUNCY BABY BOY!

Jaime was born in a small town nestled in the interior, called William’s Lake. She spent her younger years in Prince George, where the love for all creatures found her (literally). On the walk home from school, she use to collect all sorts of animals (but she always told her mom they followed her.) Jaime’s aunt always tells her how her parents would pawn her off on them, so they could go for a vacation without their little terror. She would spend days on the farm, where she would get herself into so much trouble (antagonizing the cows, playing in the mud with the pig’s etc…)-she loves farm life.

From as far back as Jaime can remember, she had a black and white cat, that she named "Fancy Pants" (her brother used to call her Frying Pan to tease her). That cat played dress-up, went for walks, and to school with them for show and tell, she even use to go camping with the family. Jaime has numerous pictures of herself as a young child and she was never more than an arm’s length away. She had a long precious life until Jaime was about 11 years old. Her age caught up with her, but to Jaime she will always be alive in her heart and dreams.

Jaime’s dad was transferred to the Sunshine Coast when she was about 9 years old. Here, her love for horses grew and the dream of having one of her own came true. He was a PB Polish Arabian gelding named Zan and the love of her life for a couple years. Since him she’s had five other horses throughout her life, she’s worked on a dude ranch and at the breeding farm. So, needless to say she’s had a lot of different experiences with horses of all ages and attitudes!


For the past ten years, Jaime’s had the pleasure of working at Maple Creek Farm, which is the largest equine breeding facility on the coast. Every spring there’s at least four, new, small hooves hitting the ground. Watching the foals grow into enormous, majestic animals and all the things in life that they experience is the most glorious part of her job.

Introducing "SKETCH" Reg name "SCENARIO"

"Sketch" at 3 1/2 months old

Other than working, she loves spending time with her soon-to-be husband Will and their baby Chase. As of 1998, Jaime was one of the first females to join the SCDRA (Sunshine Coast Drag Racing Association). Will has a 1988 Ford Ranger, which has a 460 cubic inch motor and nitrous oxide that he occasionally uses. She thinks it’s the fastest truck on the coast. Come up to the track in Wilson Creek in spring or fall each year to cheer him on!

These past 8 years here have been wonderful, educational, and very rewarding. Jaime loves working with animals, nursing them back to health and watching all the puppies and kittens grow up. She plans on staying here for a very long time to get to know all of you and your pets. Come in and say "Hi!" some time.
