I found out yesterday that our vet is going to retire.
He had reduced his time at the clinic the last few years, but he will officially retire on June 1st. He will retire 50 YEARS to the day that he got his degree. He had worked at the same clinic for 48 years.
He was a very dedicated vet. He spent many late nights driving to the clinic to check on animals. He also slept in his office when he had animals needing 24 hour care. If you had an emergency, he would be at the clinic before you got there.
About 20 years ago, our family dog was hit by a car, late on a saturday night. He spent several hours in surgery that night, reconstructing the dog's nose. The total bill was less than $200. He also made a lot of visits to the family farm. He worked on all sizes of animals, from cattle & horses, and all the way down to hamsters.
We are sad to see him go, but we are happy for him also. Dozer & Digger will miss you.
