Vacation musings

One thing we do with our family is try to make memories of our vacations.

One way to do that is to remember a couple of things that happened, and tell the story to other people.

So one way we do that is for everyone to come up with 3 things they remember about the vacation.

This is the list we came up with:
Bugs, beach, St Max - Natalie - age 18
S'mores, beach, Grandpa (Kilian) - Elyse -age 8
Beach St. Max, Eating around campfire - Mary -age 13
beach, s'mores, Grandpa's - Therese -age 6
St Kolbe, Our Lady of LaSalette, Oooga booga Barbeque (with Grandpa in Lockport) Rachel -age 15
bugs, setting up camp, no internet - Dad
Finding shapes in the clouds, playing golf as a family , beach - mom

All of this is a fun exercise that shows the true meaning of vacation. That seems to be time to decompress, spend time with each other. In this time when many of us sit at computer screens and not talk with each other as often as we like, vacations are a great opportunity to get reconnected with those who mean the most to us.

How to find a Veterinary Doctor you are comfortable with?

In a recent newspaper column " Hints form Heloise" she gives the following advice, which I think is excellent:

This was very helpful for folks looking for a veterinarian when they first move to an area:
Schedule an appointment with the Doctor, without your pet, to conduct an interview. This will lean about doctor's approach to medicine, but you will b able to assess if his/ her personality is one with which you and your pet will be comfortable.

- We welcome this opportunity

Is the Dr available for occasional or ER visits, housecalls?

- We are very fortunate to have an after hours ER clinic that takes care of all of our patients. While the practice is not set up for regular house calls, we can make the occasional house call.

Can you be with your pet as emerges from anesthesia following surgery?

- You may be present. Many clients find our web camera - where you can watch 24/7 more convenient and helpful. Check it out at: (after hours we put a night light up when we have patients. If there are no patients, then we remain green by not using the lights.

( Does the )office have after hours contact numbers for ER

- I am very proud that we have an emergency clinic that is fully staffed by trained Certified technicians, assistants, and Doctors that can look after our patients when we are not available. Any critical cases are also able to be constantly monitored by this excellent staff.

The writer was happy to report that after several interviews, she was happy to report she found an excellent match.

- We invite everyone to consider interviewing our clinic to become a client.

And if you are looking for something else, we can help you because we have a relationship with our colleagues in the area.

Our goal is to find the right fit. When you find the right glove, you just know, it feels comfortable and good to wear those gloves, whether they are work gloves, winter gloves, baseball gloves, or exam gloves.

The right fit makes all the difference.
