I love your vet stories!

Wish I had kept notes of all the funnies that have happened over the years & then could have wrote a book when I retired,it is the type of place that has lots of very sad times but then a little gem will lighten everything up,some things move to the back of your mind & come foreward like today when Debbie commented on coming up with something else,other things like the client sitting there without the animal & we asked "Have you forgotten something",thats always there,her face,we dined out on that for years & although that person has since had a stroke when she comes in she always says "Can you remember",one of the joys of working in a very small practice...
