The 6 Degrees of Veterinary Association

For several years now, Charlie has been the delighted and grateful recipient of telephone calls from family whenever they have questions about their pets. He has learned alot from the questions and problems these phone calls pose. He has a heart for animals, especially when he has met them or is in some way related to (or friends with) their owners.

Now that he is a vet, some of those calls turn into actual visits to see Dr. Charlie and get all fixed up. But he still gets the occasional call, especially when friends or family live far away. Which he gladly receives. He's a vet. It's what he enjoys!

The funniest call so far came this week, when we were out watching the movie "Tangled" (soo laugh-out-loud funny - we both loved it).

The call was what Charlie called "the 6 degrees of veterinary association." It regarded the health of his brother's friend's sister's friend's dog. Not even joking. The thing is, when it takes 5 separate phone calls to reach a veterinarian, you're probably better just calling your local clinic and asking advice. Especially when time is of the essence. Just saying.
