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.
Blogging is a new experience for me. Practicing veterinary medicine for 30 years, I’ve learned to be technically savvy, and have even become somewhat of a computer “geek”. But, thanks to my wonderful children, the blog experience is their gift to me this holiday season. I hope to never bore, never offend, and always stir some warm feelings about pets, their owner-caretakers, and the profession that I love.
