Starting with a 20 year old clinic, no surgery suite, no digital radiography, no air condition... it still impressed a lot of people! They loved that they received more personable care for their pets. At the 10 month mark, she acquired the 'Big Rig' at a convention in Las Vegas, tossing the return air plane tickets and drove it home. With her 'everything anywhere and anytime' attitude she has developed a very successful practice. She says that the things that keep her sane are walking her dogs and riding her horses - so a fifty mile endurance ride on her horse is considered fun? I know it would be torture for me, but this is her husband AKA hospital manager speaking.
