Please be nice to your vet staff, we are doing our very best!

I watched someone’s pet take their last breath. Then I went into the next room with a smile. I didn’t want to, but I did it anyway.

I finished performing CPR on a kitten that didn’t make it. Then I had to tell the owner. I didn’t want to, but I did it anyway.

I hugged someone as they picked up their pet’s ashes. Then I had to answer the phone with a welcoming voice. I didn’t want to, but I did it anyway.

I got yelled at by a pet owner over the phone for being too expensive. Then I had to empathetically take payment from someone who was sending their pet across the rainbow bridge. I didn’t want to, but I did it anyway.

I bagged someone’s pet they would’ve paid anything to save. Then I had to go be empathetic as someone’s pet that could be saved wasn’t due to finances. I didn’t want to, but I did it anyway.

I cried in the bathroom during the 5 minutes I had between appointments. Then I had to go into the next room where an animal was neglected. I didn’t want to, but I did it anyway.

I watched an owner decline treatment for a fatal complication and take their pet home. Then I had to go to the next room like nothing happened. I didn’t want to, but I did it anyway.

I spent all day caring for other people’s pets. Then I had to go home and take care of mine. I didn’t want to but I did it anyway.

In veterinary medicine we don’t have choices. We have things we surely don’t want to do, but we do it anyway. Part of it because of our “end suffering” oath and part of it because it’s in our nature. One thing I can tell you is none of it is easy and damn sure isn’t because we “want” to. Yes, the small percentage of good outcomes outweigh the larger percentage of bad. But the good never stays with us. It’s the bad that forever damages our souls.

So the next time you think “they’re only in it for the money” or “they don’t care about animals” please remember not all of our smiles are real. Not all of our laughs are genuine. We do it because we have no choice. Half of the days we fake it to make it to the end. Our minds are tired and our hearts are heavy, but no matter what we will do it anyway 🤍

With all the sanding the clinic has been getting beyond messy. We apologize for it not being the cleanest, we try our best to make sure it’s as clean as possible on a regular basis!
Today we played Cinderella and got down on our hands and knees and scrubbed the floors so clean you could eat off of them! Although, we still wouldn’t recommend it 🤣

The renovations are almost complete! We hope you all feel welcome when you walk through those doors 🤍

On and in continuation of National Immunization Awareness Month, we’d like to remind animal owners to protect against mosquito-borne illnesses, such as heartworm disease, West Nile Virus, and others, by keeping their animals up to date on vaccinations and using preventative medications.

If you have ever been through my beloved SJB Animal Care Center, you would be like “wow the floors are still wild but that space usage is massive!”

Today we created another workstation next to pharmacy, a new doctors space, the third and largest exam room is rocking and rolling and well radiography got a new home but I didn’t take photos because I am tired! Big thanks always to Issi, who is just a magician and Joe who has booming talent and makes sure we don’t get fried with the electric elements.

And though I didn’t say anything this week while were all in house, Jessika, Parish and Faith, you three have just been the ultimate force, painting, lifting, sweating, dreaming and laughing. So much dust. So many bruises. So much girl power. We survived an entire day with our ac down and still ran like champs (no requirement opt out was okay) but we all did the moonwalk across the lobby because it was so hot the floors got slick and it all got fixed.

Always a thank you to John Blalock who helps at the drop of the hat, you truly are our favorite, FIB.

And may I say that none of this would be possible without the most impeccable business woman I’ve ever had the honor of knowing, who trusted ME to carry forth her legacy, Deloris Stamm, every day I hope you know how much we appreciate you and honor you.

We aren’t done folks, back at it tomorrow.

Thank you to the clients, friends, family and reps for supporting small business and applauding the magic of shared success.

This was never a ME, always a WE.
