I know I really gave it so much thought and if my vet retired which I know he is planning on soon, then I would be really nervous - but I am so lucky to have such a wonderful Vet he has even came to my house before. He is so smart and knowable, I do not think I would trust anyone else and be really scared with my tiny baby with someone else. It is a huge decision to make and both ways have their good and bad sides. So I think that it is really something that we all have to decide on. Nancy and Girls.
