You got THAT right! BUT, if it ever becomes possible, I think I'd like to
have a veterinarian as my primary care physician! Of all the docs I've
met in my 26 years, my pet's vets were nicer, more knowlegable, more willing
to listen, more willing to consider alternatives, etc. than almost any
"people doc" I had contact with.
If it's reincarnation in the end (and new beginning), I wanna be someone's
luvable mutt!
Happy 2010!
