You Got Some Attitude

I had to take our cat to the vet the other day because I suspected she had a bladder infection. Turns out she's perfectly fine and probably just being neurotic as per usual. Anyway, while I was in the exam room with her and the vet, one of the front desk people came apologetically knocking on the door.

Her: "Sorry to interrupt, but I have animal control on the phone and they have an injured opossum and were wondering if they could bring it here."

Sadie's Vet: "Sure."

Her: "Really? You know how to deal with an opossum? Because the other vets here don't."

Sadie's Vet: "No, but I'll find out."

I have to say that is just the most awesome attitude for a vet to have. I mean, he was obviously rather busy, and didn't know how to deal with an injured opossum, but decided to take it in anyway. It just shows that he honestly cares about animals and his job. So, for that reason I will be sure to take Sadie to him every single time she needs to go to the vet. He's quite the step above the place we used to take her, granted it's a bit more expensive, but I think it's worth it.
