I have been trying to help my daughter Jennifer find a vet close to her new house. That of course took me to the internet where I happened across the following story about a local vet. I was thinking it must be a joke. I find it bizarre & while I'm not knocking his life it makes me laugh to see a professional put all this in his bio. I was a little too young to attend Woodstock but it was all my friends & I talked about, we wanted to go so bad. I was a wanna be hippie. :lol: I thought you all might find it amusing. Like I said I am in no way putting him down. I would however be a bit skeptical about choosing him as a vet. :lol: :lol:
The names have been changed to protect the innocent! haha_smiley I think he might have taken a few too many hits on the bong! ohmygod_smile haha_smiley

Dr. **** was the original owner of **** *****Veterinary Hospital in ****. He sold the practice to Healthy Pet Corporation in 2001 and opened ***** ***** Veterinary Hospital in ****** with a longtime associate, Dr. ******. When ***** *****Veterinary Hospital was relo-cated in 2011, Dr. ***** identified the continuing need for a neighborhood veterinary practice and made a commitment to reopen the original hospital. A longtime friend, and associate, Dr. *****joined him in 2012 as the primary practicing veterinarian.
Dr. ****** has had a lifelong love and interest in animals. It began as a young man when he attended the 3 day musical festival, Woodstock. Dismayed and alarmed by the muddy dogs neglected by the hippy attendees, he organized and oversaw a bathing area just behind the stage. His life in service to animals had begun.
The late 60's saw him traveling with the Grateful Dead and managing the musical group's personal cattery... a little known fact that the band traveled with their 23 adored Persian cats.
During a particularly low point in his life, Dr. ***** traveled cross country on his Harley (Robin! :lol: ) to clear his head. Stopping in Sturgis, he happened by the Full Throttle Saloon where he noticed a rampant feral cat problem. Having some time on his hands, he instituted the first trap, neuter and release program in the nation. Even to this day, Sturgis enjoys a shortage of cats.
When life on the road became too demanding, Dr. ***** “retired” to California where he was indoctrinated into a free-loving “family” enjoying an uninhibited and groovy lifestyle. The “Family” immediately noted his interest and compassion for the “family’s” flock of goats. Dr. ***** quickly ascended to chief goat herder thru his special skills and expertise.
Deciding that the Veterinary lifestyle was for him, Dr. ***** attended Georgia Tech and graduated at the top of his class, despite his inability to read or write. ohmygod_smile After graduation, he interned at “Slow Groove Sloth Hospital” in Costa Rica where he specialized in cruciate repairs of the local wildlife. While there, he met his lovely wife, *****. They met on the beach where she had signed up for surfing lessons, which he offered to local ladies in his spare time. They decided to settle state side, and raised their 3 sons in *********.
Dr. ****** began working at ***** Veterinary Hospital in the late 70's, becoming the sole owner in 1988 and renaming it ***** *****Veterinary Hospital. Through secret means, he recruited and trained a team of top notch, loyal employees. He dubbed them “the family” as a nod to his old commune days in California.
When the “family” became cumbersome, he sold the practice and established ***** ****Veterinary Hospital in ******** in 2003. There he finally had a place to pursue his keen interest in amphibian reproductive issues.
Having completed his work at **** ****on the mating rituals of the leopard gecko, Dr. ***** set his sights on a new venture. He orchestrated a coup at the ***** SPCA and was elected its Supreme Leader a short while thereafter. During his reign, Dr. ***** turned the reputation of the SPCA from one of desperation to one of hope. All the animals rejoiced.
In 2011 Dr. ***** was pushed out of ***** *****by a hostile takeover by Dr. ***** *****. Undaunted he decided to reunite his beloved “***** ***** Family”. Having successfully gathered his flock he embarked on his most ambitious and awe inspiring project to date:***** Animal Hospital.
Dr. ***** recruited world renowned veterinarian Dr. ***** ****from an extended sabbatical in **** *****. Together they will work to make ****** Animal Hospital the leader in exotic animal reproduction in the *******.
