Hooray! It is Veterinarians’ Day

Hooray! It is Veterinarians’ Day by Stormi Willis             My beautiful, blonde headed, blue eyed little girl could probably win an award for watching Animal Planet more than any other child on earth.  She especially likes the shows where they rescue and care for animals.  Even the blody, surgery parts that I can’t watch, enthrall her.  The only things she asks for at the store are pet treats and supplies for our dogs, cat, and her turtle, rarely asking for anything for herself.  For Christmas, all she wants is an agility dog training kit to further train our puppy who she has spent hours watching videos and reading online about how to train.  Her heart and talents to do this training have honestly amazed me.  I will give you one guess after reading this article what she wants to be when she grows up.   She did however, start my day off with quite a chuckle this morning as she skipped through the house and up to me with a calendar in her hand, asking,” Mommy, did you know that they even have a holiday to celebrate veterinarians?”  I admit, she got my interest as I responded, “No, I didn’t know that.”  With all the seriousness in the world, she proclaimed, “Yes, Today is Veterinarians’ Day.”I hugged her and explained that today was Veterans’ Day, but that just for her, we could also celebrate other wonderful people like her who care for animals.  So, together we shouted,”Hooray! It is Veterinarians’ Day!”
