She is gorgeous! Congratulations!
That looks alot like the trucks of several of the mobile vets around here.

And I'm gonna use that. Maroon scrubs, I think, for the good-guy vet. What did your vet wear on her feet? Workboots?
You signed up for this NaNoWriMo thing?
I didn't know you wanted to write a novel! :~D
I wonder about vets in places like Texarkana, and Kansas City ... or even in places like my husband's hometown, which is so close to the state line that it's not uncommon to drive out of Michigan into Wisconsin, and back into Michigan, quite often.
A vet would want to be licensed to practice in both states ...
and ride vet = as ride vet
My Noodle-baby weighed a hundred pounds (when I got him he fit in the palm of my hand), and loathed anything to do with the vet, including getting in the car and the doctor himself. There were two of these new-fangled mobile vets in the San Antonio phone book back then; one of them wouldn't come to my neighborhood, but the other was happy to do the job of removing the tumor, which by then was bigger around than the circle of my thumb and forefinger. He sedated Noodles and sawed that sucker off and set a couple of stitches and took the tumor off to the lab. Was a squamous cell tumor with serious blood supply, but, he said, little chance of metastasizing. Noodles lived another two years.
That vet drove a huge van, like an ice cream truck. These other trucks are very nice!
His wife had a large animal clinic and also did farm calls. My horses loved her. She would come out to the farm in her work clothes but always with diamond studs in her ears. I got the biggest kick out of that.
I figure most vets have a pair of wings waiting for them.
Something else I'll use! I was thinking perhaps a vet wouldn't have oom for these little vanities!
What did she wear for work clothes, do you recall?
She's overo and they're my favorite, too.
"She may wind up in my story!"
Oooo, that's wonderful! Let me know if she does. And Welcome to the club.
Thanks, guys. My children think she's the cat's meow. She's still very leary of them, my 6 year old came running out yesterday when I was playing with her and she nearly climbed in my lap. I was very glad that she had that response, though. I want her to look to me for safety and comfort.
I was reading your post about the German Shepherd with the skin tumor and while reading it, I thought, "that girl's gotta be a Texan!" I checked your profile page and I was right! LOL! By the way, I also like genealogy and posted some pics of a rock house that my ancestors built back in the 1800's. My parents got to visit it a couple of years ago, it's on someone else's property down in LaVernia.
...white sneakers. But she was the only vet that I've ever seen do that.
Tuffy, I love the pics on your profile page. Well, except for the first one. Every time I see it, it gives me the creeps.
mornin:')
Good morning! We had our first frost last night!
Great pic!
I'm still in Maryland, it is sunny today. Most of my visiting time is going to soccer games. My granddaughter is captain of her high-school team and they are undefeated.
May take a trip over to the Chesapeake today. Fall colors are not at peak but they are sure better than Texas. Hope you are all well.
