About 12 years ago when we still lived in VT, we had just gotten Jasper and needed to find a vet. When I first met the "dogtor" (I LOVE that!!

), he seemed really gruff and not very nice. But as soon as I pulled Jasper out of his carrier, he turned into a mush ball all sweet and high-pitched voice, cooing, ohing, and ahhing over my pup. I thought I would hurt myself laughing when I related the story to my hubby!
We used this vet for all the time we lived there, and were very sorry to leave him when we moved to NC. He was NOT a people person. His love was for animals, and they could not have found any vet who cared for them more. He certainly found the right job!
