It was very fun!
I got a kitten about a week ago he's about 1 1/2 months he died to day he just lost all his strengthhe was the best cat ever super friendly. But in other news one of my new pullets laid her first egg today at 16 weeks and 1 day!!! I found it in the dust bath
I totally understand Al!!! That's exactly how I felt when the only vet clinic in the north that would do farm calls and actually saw critters beside pets sold when the head vet (aka owner and my longtime vet) retired and sold it to a female small animal vet that does dogs but specializes in CATS!!! She has taken on another fulltime female vet and one more that comes once a week and of course, they all only do dogs and cats. I took my dog there because, I guess habit, and she had the nerve to complain to me about folks not wanting to spend hundreds of dollars (yep) in preventive care (not vaccinations, "wellness checks" every six months) this is farm and logging country not LA! We have working animals and livestock. I honestly haven't seen anything like a toy poodle in so long I can't remember!!! Yes, I have a small dog ( Shitsu/Bichon cross and I love her) but she was a gift from the kids, otherwise my idea of a small dog is a border collie or a blue healer. My neighbor (and fellow crazy chicken lady but also goats) did manage to find a "traveling vet" that works out of his pickup with his wife (he is also a pastor) but honestly, when I was there to help with handling her VERY large, fully horned buck who managed to knock himself silly on the ice chasing her BF's tractor, he didn't seem to know a great deal about handling large animals. Oh, when locating a new vet for my puppers I found a great small animal vet (and she and another vet from the original vet decided to open their own practice) and wouldn't you know it? They have no problem doing fecal floats for parasites on the birds for me, AFTER I have alreadylaid out the cash for the microscope and kit to do my own.I am still reeling and stunned that the only large animal vet is no longer working.....
Not that I called him often.........
But dang.... I feel very ... Stuck on a cliff holding onto a twig
