Here we go.
Here we go. The holidays have arrived and we are losing our old timers one after another. I have shed more tears this week. Those that are not dying of old age are coming close to death because of idiot owners. I suppose I should say ignorant. Dogs can not eat and digest anything that we can't. I...

Endless

Some People
I never fail to be amazed at people. You would think I would reach a point where nothing would surprize me. Today we had a lady call in and say that her dog had a cut. The front desk tried to get her to bring it in as a drop off. They explained that the wound would probably need to be stitched up...

Not much happening
Well as you would know it this was a quite day. I did get to go over some things with my new trainee. Really it is good I guess to start slow. She is a fast learner and has had some experience with x-rays. She worked with a dentist before so at least it is not all foreign to her. The toughest thing...

A choice to make
To day was a rough one for one of our clients. She has a very old diabetic cat that she has had before husband, or children. The cat was always very large 17 pounds in a body that is supposed to be more like 12. He has been blind for a long time and it is becoming harder for him to get in the litter...

Wednesday is what we call our late night. Normally we end afternoon appointments at 4:45 on Wednesday we go until 5:45, which means we are out of there at 6:00 or 6:30. Today all our patients wanted me dead or at least injured. I think I muzzled all but three of the dogs I saw this afternoon and...
