Banfield
I am thankful for projects that have ended.
Omaha.net, Life with Dogs, Banfield Journal, AVMA landing page (one project), Carefresh social media content writer, Veterinary Economics board member, Gentle Doctor social media, Nebraska Poodle Rescue, Pug Partners of Nebraska website articles (one project)...All of these were wonderful, and all have ended. I was sad to see each one go, but another opportunity seems to always come up.
I am thankful for my time at Banfield Pet Hospitals and my friendship with Tiemanns.
I used to say that I wished I had walked into Gentle Doctor Animal Hospitals the day we moved to Omaha. That is not true though.
Though it exploded in our faces so to speak, I got to work with a friend.
I adopted our guinea pig Piggy from Banfield clients and Joy the Puppy from other Banfield clients. Fuzzy and Wuzzy Rats' breeder was a friend who I met because he worked at Petsmart.
I met Erika and Dr. Rubaloff, both of whom I still work with today, and I met the other awesomes at Banfield and Petsmart, clients and teammates, many of whom are still dear friends.
Every May Day I would bring everyone at all the Banfields and Petsmarts snack mix. That was such a fun tradition that I restarted it this Halloween, now with Banfield, Petsmart and Gentle Doctor.
I got to write for Banfield Journal and the Banfield website.
I became very aware of the importance of anesthetic safety.
I learned to think through cases with a logical step-by-step process, which still helps me today. I learned to start from the framework of wellness. That is a huge and not quite obtainable goal that I still strive to reach every day because of my training at Banfield.
I got to have lots of young want-to-be vets shadow for a half day or full day. It was so rewarding that I still do that today.
Sofia and me
I am thankful for my eight years at Oakview, Papillion and North Omaha Banfield.
When I left, I had a "get the best job ever or leave the field" attitude, which led me to Gentle Doctor Animal Hospitals, truly the best job I have ever had, tied with Companion Animal Veterinary Hospital, my second and final job in Colorado.
The road's been rough, but I love where it has taken me.
Deb and I became friends.
I would contend that some sorts of crazy are good.
