Crap !

I just found out my vet is leaving the practice at the end of the month. He is moving to another practice 30 miles away. He has been my vet for years (except for that 7 year interval when I lived in Tampa), and he has been my Dad's vet for years. We initially picked him because his practice was a very short 3 mile drive down the road, but more importantly we stayed with him because he is truly an awesome man who loves animals and gives great care.

I'm in shock. This is worse than finding out your hair dresser is leaving the country. So now I have to decide if I follow him to another practice in another county or stay at the old practice with the other vet (who I haven't warmed up to).

*wah*

Um, no. A hairdresser leaving is far worse.

But seriously, I do know what you mean. You come to trust the one who cares for you furry babies.

(Ack. you got spammed.)

Um, Augie. You do know that you and your Dad should be going to a people doctor, don't you?
I realize that you are a military family but I believe the V in V.A. stands for Veterans, not Veterinarians.
Just trying to be helpful.

First, {snort!} at zombie and Carey!

Second, maybe you should keep him until you find someone closer that you *do* warm up to. You need to consider that in the event of an emergency, you won't want to travel far.

Did you tell him that was unacceptable?

You guys funny.

Augie, try out the other doc at the practice, then if it doesn't work out, go find the old doc.

So do those worm pills work on people?

I'm not fond of change. How often do you go? If it's not that far, I would just follow him.

30 miles? That's nothing.

Your babies might be more familiar with the sounds/scents at the current place, even if their vet is gone. Mind you, most pets hate any place that has a vet. I think I'd stick to the one closest to you out of convenience. Perhaps y'all will warm up to the new guy.
*smooch*
