As we grow older, into each life must come a little visit to the Veterinarian. In my short lifetime, I've had 3 Veterinarians, most because my humans had moved and wanted someone close to the house.

My first was Dr. Steven Velling. DVM, of Ashburn Village Animal Hospital in Ashburn, VA. He is a very young guy, just out of school or at least that's the way he looked- he was a great Veterinarian. The next Veterinarian was Dr. Deidre DuBissette, DVM of Franklin Farm Veterinary Clinic, who is an pawsomely talented lady. Today, it's Dr. C. Ululani Medici, DVM of Ohana Veterinary Care another pawesome lady with pawcellent skills. I have been blessed with the most pawsome of Veterinarians!

An aspect of each of these Veterinarians and their practices is they treat me like a real person instead of some critter off the street- and they would love them too!  Dr. Medici loves to explain what she's doing and what she's finding to my human as she goes along.  As a Service Dog, she gives me an exra-going over too- which I wish I'd known when I applied for the job. WOOF!!

Through all the vaccinations, the pills, the prods, the nods, the looks, the tugs on my legs,touching my tail and another place you have no business touching, the pushing of my chest, the sticking that thing where nothing should ever be stuck by anyone, the looking in my ear with that flicky thing, and why you enjoy shining a really bright light in my eyes- all of you do it- I'll never understand!  Barkingly, you are all GREAT!

But, thanks.  Thanks for being you and for all your years of study and doing without so you can help all the critters along life's way that you do.  So many humans, including my own, come to depend on you to help them through crisis's that we go through in this life!  Thank you for all the efforts to keep me healthy so I can keep my humans healthy and happy!
