we all need pit stops

In car racing, we know cars take pit stops. Even if you don't follow car racing, you know about pit stops.

It does seem illogical to purposely take yourself out of a race, but we know logically that in a car race, you run out of gas and the tires wear down to nothing, and you quickly would not reach your goal.

So yesterday, October 10, we did not have a Dr in the office so I could spend time with my wife on our 21 wedding anniversary.

Sure, I could have just worked, and chugged along and 'gotten through', but when I have done that in the past, my tires have become ragged, and I have run out of gas in our relationship. It has been a hard lesson to learn, especially for a guy, who likes to do things.

But it was a wonderful day yesterday, we did some things together in the house, talked about what we had talked about 21 years ago, and how blessed and fortunate we have been to be able to live in this wonderful country, and to have the chance to be 'the family Dr' for the pets that call Lakeview Veterinary Clinic their family Dr.

We thank you for that privilege and look forward to seeing everyone back on Monday.
