How wonderful you have had the same doctor of your animals for so long. That is a long time to be in practice, and be so well liked, as you are of your vet. <br />Then again, my husband is in his 18th year of practicing veterinary medicine. That doesn't seem possible!!!<br />We have clients who have been with us for that long and have seen their pets through thick and thin. Many pets from day one, puppies to passing on at an old age. <br />I believe my horse is his longest running patient.....she'll be 34 on Friday. <br />Good job keeping Chance up to date on all of his vaccines and heartworm preventatives. Your post is a super reminder to many!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07930015889151178654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-24424584359564877582009-05-12T07:24:00.000-05:002009-05-12T07:24:00.000-05:00Chance is a beautiful dog!Chance is a beautiful dog!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323381620462858795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-65219617473915246702009-05-11T22:00:00.000-05:002009-05-11T22:00:00.000-05:00Hi Chance!

Except for the teeth -- we never got into the good canine dental hygiene habit, I'm afraid, so she has to go back next week for a cleaning.Jeanne Estridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13096521122802823385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-82897966630247973292009-05-11T18:52:00.000-05:002009-05-11T18:52:00.000-05:00Oh...Look at poor Chance...hiding his head.

She saw him when we first got him from a rescue and he was probably seven months old and under nourished. So when he filled out the next year or two she was sure he was fat. He can vary a few pounds with the trend of feeding milk bones in excess or less feeding of them in a controlled situation. He will thin out with summer weather and lots of running in the back yard. Your border collie looks just as loving as ours is. They are such a joy.L.
