As 2007 comes to a close, I’ve had many joyous and many “less than joyous” moments to remember. Fortunately, the happier moments outnumber the tearful ones. The loss of our Bernese Mountain Dog, Lily, most definitely stands out as the most tearful and heart breaking experience I’ve gone through not only this year, but perhaps in my entire career. She was a love, a mush, a totally devoted member of our family. No matter how ill she was, she always greeted us at the door, smearing her slobbery mouth and face against the glass with pure joy and happiness. We’ll miss her always, but are thankful for having had her for 10 years. People often forget that I’m not only a veterinarian, but I’m a pet lover, too.
