secret #15- one-eyed, three-legged dog named Lucky

"When people surrender their pets because they can't afford their problems, I often end up with them. I've got a 3-legged cat, a one-eyed cat, three dogs that required major surgeries, one goat and 11 chickens."

There are in-house jokes about vets and staff having the worst pets- they get obscure diseases, or "normal" diseases in large numbers. Or we take on someone else's problem pet.

But I caution you- don't assume that your vet will re-home a pet that is sick or has become inconvenient. We have to draw the line, and that line might involve a difficult decision on your part. We love to help, but we do not have infinite resources, either.

Enjoy your pets!
