Well, my sister-in-law to be is in Auburn and is going to vet school. We are all so happy for her! She loves it there b/c Keisel Park has a true actual full DOG AGILITY COURSE! She thinks the people are nicer too, but she's still BAMA FAN 100%!!!
Thanks! My daughter wanted to be a vet all her life ... but seems to keep putting her "higher education" on hold! Her husband promised me, if I "gave him her hand" when she was a senior in high school that he would see to it that she did it! Yeah, sure! They married the year after graduation and I have been "nagging" ever since ... she still actually plans to go but I would like to actually still be living when she graduates college!! I really have to give the "devil his due" when it comes to Auburn's veterinary program ... I believe it's one of the best in the country! Our poodle Nicole [RIP] jumped off a sofa and her whole rear was paralized ... our vet wanted to send her to the hospital at Auburn ... I have never been so impressed in my entire life! She had two neuro docs and was assigned an entire "team" of students to care for her! Fortunately for me, they were able to use "cage therapy" and after several weeks I was able to bring her home for the rest of her recovery. The "team leader" called me every single night with a report and the doctors were available for any questions/concerns 24/7. It was kinda funny ... one of the students looked familiar to me ... come to find out, when I was Admin. Asst. for our regional EMS agency, she had come to some of our CEU courses ... she was an RN who worked at UAB as a flight nurse!! She told me she had always wanted to be a vet ... so she is!! Small world!! Agility is something I really wish we could involve Toto in .... I believe she would do well!!
