First of all, BIG GRATS on Hounds for Haiti! Excellent. Second, whoo, new mike! I have a question- well, a topic really; I’d love to hear how to choose/introduce yourself to a new vet. I want to adopt a dog sometime this year, but I’m not sure how to go about finding a vet that works well with me. What should I be asking? How should I meet them? Should I schedule a meet-and-greet appointment before I get my new pet or just try to stop by on a less busy day to see the clinic? What do you wish people would do in that situation? Would love to hear your thoughts in any form.

Wow!! Awesome news about the auction! I’m so glad we were able to be a part of it (both donating, and bidding on my part!)

Thanks again for the auction! Just had my session with Nadine and it was awesome.

My idea for the podcast: careers with animals outside of the DVM/vet tech arena. I’ve been in corporate training for 16 years and am currently enrolled in a Graduate Certificate in Animal Studies program with the Humane Society. No idea what I’ll do with it yet, just know I want to work with animals (and probably more specifically, dogs). And, oh yeah, I need to be able to make a living wage!

It wasn’t terrible or anything, I just really underestimated how time consuming it all would be! But the worst part was figuring out halfway in- Oh? You want to avoid Paypal fees? You need to do it THIS way – and Oh? You want to avoid Mission Fish fees? Did I mention it was 20%? etc

Going back to a previous recent post, how about educating the public about the nutrition education that veterinarians get in school. Remember, this was the 100 point deal breaker in your quick quiz, lol! I think that would make a good podcast. Just my opinion of course!

YAY on the auction total but boo it was such a drain on you!

Speaking of the Late Night fiasco… What did you think of it? I was really disgusted with the way NBC handled things, and Leno pretending he didn’t know what was going on made me want to punch him in his gargantuan chin.

Conan’s last show was classy and touching, and I was in tears a few times during it. I can’t wait to see where he goes next, I’m hoping whatever network it is doesn’t slap him with so many restrictions and just let’s him run free. He’s funniest when he’s not hampered by NBC executives telling him to tame his content down for the Tonight Show.

Also, awesome job on the auction. I can only imagine the amount of hard work and headaches that went into it, you’re my hero. I really love that Bandanna of the Month thing, I’m totally going to buy another one for our puppy when he gets here. Feels good to donate to charity, I’d already given generously to the human side of it, but animals shouldn’t be forgotten.

I’m probably going to comment again with a comment (I may or may not be a tad inebriated and thus horrible at this quick thinking thing) but I wanted to say, YAY for the auction!! I’m so glad we raised so much!! I also can’t wait to make the winning bidder their hoodie.
