I am now working as a veterinarian in Olds, Alberta. Feels like so much time has passed yet none at all with this strange state of things.

Since I was pulled out of school rotations, Parker and I adopted a rescue mutt – Buster, moved to Olds, and I began working as a fully-licensed veterinarian. There was no convocation, just a last-minute email to pick up our parchments in person on a day I wasn’t available. Thankfully, I had a generous classmate get mine for me and bring it to my parents’ house in Calgary. I took some photos with my family in the backyard and had a suprise cake from the clinic I work at.

So far, I love my job. I love seeing a different case every appointment, I love helping people give the best care for their pets, I love doing surgery and dentistry every day. My commute takes me less than five minutes (an hour for Parker as he is working in Calgary), and on occasion I walk to work. The days are long, but worth it.

I am hoping to make some veterinary informational posts in the near future – stay tuned!
