RE: Now Daryl Dad....Today in the Garden

Well, you know Vets have to take more training and work with patients who
don't communicate their needs as well.  It is a sad commentary, though.  

Too bad some vets are going the same way as people doctors.  It was why I
had to change vets when Izzie nearly died from giving birth to her puppies.

Blessings,
