Dr. Hodges - watching a kid who I first met when he was in 7th grade go on to vet school. I wrote his recommendation letter and watched him join this illustrious profession

We just bought a 150 acre farm, and our goal is to produce superior Angus cows and calves. Having our own farm has always been a dream of ours.

Dr. Hodges - loving animals to death. Giving too many treats or giving animals human food. I know it's tempting, but try not to do that

Dr. Ferguson - That is a touch one. The field of veterinary medicine is filled with fulfilling moments. I think the times when pets come in and it seems like it is not going to be a good ending, but we are able to get baby back to good health and reunite with owner. Those moments are so special. It shows how strong the human animal bond is.

Sorry to hear about your hen. I treat quite a few chickens, and they make amazing pets. There are definitely ups and downs to the job, but typically I try to think about the happy times. I'm sure you had 10 glorious years with this hen. She sounds amazing. Wishing you comfort in your time of grief.
