Growing up in a household that was practically a zoo, my brother John and I have enough pet stories to fill an entire library. From the chaotic days of incubating duck eggs after a hurricane to the infamous incident of a duckling nearly meeting its end in our kitchen sink, our childhood was a blend of humor and heartbreak. These experiences shaped our family dynamics and also inspired my journey into veterinary medicine. Join us as we share tales of Buster, Butterscotch, and Beauty, recounting the adventures and misadventures that have left a permanent paw print on our lives.
Navigating the emotional waters of pet ownership can be as challenging as it is rewarding. In another chapter, we grapple with the complexities of managing Boulder, the Chesapeake Bay Retriever with a wild side, whose aggressive behavior led to some tough family decisions. We reflect on our attempts to understand Boulder’s world and the eventual recognition of his health issues. On a lighter note, we reveal the quirky side of running a veterinary clinic, exploring practical tips for managing dog allergies and the importance of freezer space in flea prevention. These stories more than lots of laughter, love, and learning, offer listeners a chance to reflect on the joyous chaos and occasional heartaches of life with pets.
