March 31st

Although it was a beautiful day, we had a sad morning. We euthanized a very sick cat today. Many things in veterinary practice involve the best and worst parts of the job all tangled together. I feel euthanasia is one of those things. Helping a pet out of suffering is so important to all of us here, but we feel a loss everytime. You may not always see our pain, but we shed many tears behind closed doors for the love of your pets. I am thankful everyday that you entrust us with their care and allow us to guide and comfort you in these hard decisions.

Welcome to our blog

Welcome to our hospital blog. The purpose of this blog is to let you see more of the inner workings of our hospital and our souls (ha ha). We hope to give you a glimpse of what it's like to work in our veterinary hospital. We all started in this field because we love animals and want to help them live happy, healthy lives. What some of us didn't realize is that means we have to work with humans too. (Once again...ha ha). No, really we love you guys! We want you to better understand what happens on the other side of the door so to speak. We hope you find the blog enlightening, informative and fun.
