Ode to a cat lady

This is for the wonderful client sportin’ that cornflower blue, oversized tee shirt with a gigantic cat dome on it.  You can’t imagine how much I enjoy your visits.  You make an appointment for one pet and show up with three.  But its okay, we can squeeze you all in to a 20 minute appointment.  What’s that perfume you are wearing?  Eau de cigarettes and cat piss?  Just lovely.  And yes we know that when we say you have 6 cats at home with a cringed face, that really means you have 15.  No, no, of course we aren’t judging you… much.  But listen, we know that you want the best for your cats.  That’s why you decline every recommendation we make.  But I truly do cherish our time together, and can’t wait for my eye twitch to return the next time I see you on the scheduler.  Til next time! 

Hello again!

It’s been a loooooong time since my last post!  Five months (that’s 3 years in dog time) to be exact.  What’s the hold up?  Well, I guess a small factor could have been the fact that I was working 70+ hours a week as a slave… I mean intern… at a very busy small animal emergency and specialty practice.  But hooray!  It’s finished now and hopefully I’ll have more time to dedicate to this lovely little web/blog thingy that 2 people read :) (I might count as one).  The second reason why I haven’t written anything is the pressure! As an overachieving A student w/ asian parents (more panda dad than tiger mom style though) I am my own worst enemy of course.  I was trying to make every single entry perfect and 100% complete.  Well I decided to relax!  Like this little man below. I don’t think any further explanation is necessary, or interesting.  

 So, hopefully you’ll be hearing more from me in the future!  To close and to commemorate my new sense of zen I’d like to quote the Dalai Lama (or as my mother tried to pronounced his name today the Dama Mama): “Today, more than ever before, life must be characterized by a sense of Universal responsibility, not only nation to nation and human to human, but also human to other forms of life.” And that is my goal…
