Nikki Santos Pharmacist in Marina, CA

On September 23, 2017 RPh Nikki Santos administered 21 immunizations. She had no other Pharmacist to help, she did it all by herself. Amazing effort!

Nikki is a great Pharmacist and more importantly she is a really good person.

President Elect Trump "have had to be there at the time"

Donald Trump has expressed support for a Muslim registry during his campaign for president.

Last year, Trump said that while he did not necessarily support Japanese internment camps, he would “have had to be there at the time” to decide whether it was justified for President Franklin D. Roosevelt to violate the US Constitution by quarantining more than 100,000 Japanese immigrants and Japanese-Americans without cause.

The Year of the Black Cat

I will always remember 2015 as the year of the Black Cat. In April we got (2) stray black kittens: Taz and Puppy and Heima.

Right now the Carolina Panthers are playing the Broncos in the Super Bowl.

Taz was the sweetest kitty I have ever known. I have many cats but none as affectionate and gentle as taz.

I hope the Panthers win!

Death of little Taz

My little buddy Taz died January 18, 2016.

I have had a number of cats over the years but I never had a cat like Taz.

Taz was the sweetest, most gentle kitty I have ever met.  The irony is that I did not want this stray black kitten. In April a friend had 3 kittens she was trying to find a home. I was very reluctant to accept this little kitten.

Taz would often crawl in my lap and put his arms around my neck without ever using his claws.
