Somebody asked, "You're a vet tech? That's cool, I wanted to do that when I was a kid. How much do you make?"
The tech replied, "How much do I make?"
I make holding your hand the most important thing in the world when you are forced to make "the decision."
I make your pet breathe again when it stops.
I make it my duty to comfort your animal through frightening seizure episodes.
I work at 4AM to make sure your sick cat has the medicine she needs to live.
I make time every day to protect the lives of a stranger's pets.
I make myself learn the newest and latest information (and pay good money doing it) so that the medical advice I convey is accurate and helpful.
I make my heart break on a daily basis for animals with no family or owners who just don't care.
I make myself miss dinner with my family to ensure a member of your family is well cared for.
I make myself skip lunch so that I can make sure everything I did for your dog is done right and each step is documented.
I make myself work nights, weekends and holidays because dogs, cats, horses, lizards and birds don't just get sick Monday through Friday.
Today I might save your pet's life.
How much do I make? All I know is, I make a difference.
