Being a vet is tough and full of heartache. It is the most rewarding career I can imagine. Through their childhood, Abby and Amanda have declared their plans to be vets (and teachers, artists, writers and more).
We want to be vets so we can pet dogs like Noodle!
We want to be artists like Uncle Dave!
"Don't you guys want to be Millard North Mustangs?"
"No Mom, we want to be Central Eagles!"
As a young woman, Abby has come full circle and is determined to be a vet. I am proud of her, and excited to share this amazing career with her.
I am thankful Abby wants to be a veterinarian.

As a young woman, Amanda is determined to be a librarian.

I am thankful Amanda does not want to be a veterinarian.
I am proud of her, and relieved that she will be shielded, not from the pain of life, but from the pain of the veterinary field.
Abby and Amanda are huge helps. The baby Boxer would not stop...needing another bath, while Teddy waited patiently for his walk.
They both could change their minds, and we will support them 100%, but where they are now stirs up a mixture of pride, trepidation and relief.

Amanda with Arthur. He is undecided about his future plans and prefers to enjoy the present. You are so wise Arthur!
