to little towns around us. One I learned about from my sister. What she doesn't know is that he's in his new building because HE got bought out! He's an old country vet. That's what I hate to see the loss of around here. So many of our vets were what we called "country vets" because their concerns were not only domestic pets, but also horses, cattle, etc. But as they're retiring, no one is taking on their roles. It's a great loss, IMO. These vets not only had offices, but they'd travel to YOU when the need was there, even after office hours.

Kinda like the old doc who took care of our family when I was a kid. I remember being down with the measles and the chickenpox, along with my brother. The doctor came to US in a house call. These types of things today are called "concierge services" that only the rich can afford. We have lost so much for the common people in this country.
