It's fortunate that I'm happy with my vet because he's the only one in 50 miles. But he is great and beloved by all. He treats all the farmers' cattle, too, and is widely said to calm even the orneriest ones. Reminds me of Herriott. Only thing that bothers me is his age, about the same as mine, which means he could have to retire while I still need him. What would the next one (if any) be like? Nowhere near as good - impossible. And he knows and respects the fact that I have always taken care of my dogs so far as possible with proven home remedies. As he said, anybody who can raise 16-yr-old chows gotta be doing somethin' right.
