I have had the most wonderful privilege over the past few weeks to display my book at two separate conferences: 1. The International Association of Animal Hospice and Palliative Care conference in Seattle 2. The Illinois State Veterinary Medical Association conference in Lombard.
It has been AMAZING! I have gotten to meet so many great veterinarians and one part of my display asked them to finish the following sentence: “My Most Joyful Moment in Vet Med Was When…” They could then enter to win a gift card. Because I feel like we are constantly hearing or being warned about the negatives of our profession, I wanted them to pull out something positive that they enjoyed about vet med and figured it was time to celebrate the joys! So come along and celebrate with me! I will post a few a week on this blog for us to smile with, laugh with, and applaud with them.
Enjoy!!!

“During my first year of vet school I learned that veterinary medicine is only part of my calling. My true calling is to people, families, and especially to God, My Father.”
