Response to my call for vet recommendations was simply overwhelming. I am accustomed to emailing each and every person who responds to a listserv call; however, in this case I received well over 50 emails and am going to have simply say a big THANK YOU to everyone who took the time to right. Thank you also for the many kind words in welcoming our dog into the neighborhood and our family; the topic of pets is clearly on the hearts and minds of many of this listserv. What I will do over the next week is compile the responses in order to give a resource back to the listserv. Again, thank you all, Andrew -- "No valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now." - Alan Watts
