A creative sign outside a local animal hospital is turning heads in Brevard County -- and worldwide -- with its humorous but often racy messages.

At the Eau Gallie Veterinary Hospital, Gemma Miller wears many hats: Veterinary technician, office manager and -- as of a couple of months ago -- creative slogan thinker-upper.

The signs, described by Miller, herself as "risque," have a clear message about spaying and neutering pets and overall preventative care.

Right out of the gate, Miller began with a slogan that said, "Neutering your pet makes them less nuts."

A few weeks later came this rap song spin-off: "We like big mutts and we cannot lie."

Then there's the clinic's most recent addition: "The only balls your dog needs are the ones he fetches."

Other signs included "If you don't talk to your cat about catnip, who will?" and "Live nude dogs! Free lap dances!"

"The only ones they need are the ones they fetch, not the ones they were born with," Miller explained, laughing. "I just wanted to put use to our sign, messages that would get people's attention."

And they have, indeed, gotten people's attention. On Facebook, photos of the signs have exploded, drawing hundreds of comments on Eau Gallie Veterinary Hospital's page.

Miller said the clinic has gotten calls and emails from Australia, Canada, Ireland, Turkey and nearly every state in the U.S.

Back home in Brevard, there's been a constant flow of people pulling into the parking lot and snapping pictures of the sign.

"Our intent was to put a smile on peoples' faces, and so far it appears we have accomplished that," said the clinic's owner, Dr. David Retamozo, adding he's gotten calls from fellow vets praising the idea.

"They're hysterical," said Leslie Braddock, a longtime client of the clinic who added her teenage daughter loves the signs. "Every time we drive by and there's a new one, she wants to take a picture of it and post it on her Facebook."

But are they following the rules? The signs border on obscene, but the city of Melbourne said they comply with code.

"It's [a First Amendment] right for them to have," said Dan Porsi, with Melbourne Code Enforcement. "The city is content-neutral, and they're fine."

The veterinary hospital said it's only received a handful of negative comments about the signs, and the humorous messages will continue until the creativity runs out.
