Trust issues

As you probably know, I have a presence on social media, for both my practice and my book, Tennessee Tails. There is always a flurry of activity regarding medical recommendations and controversy over what to feed or when to vaccinate. These flurries will always be with us, as people seem to enjoy controversy and seem to like to find ways to prove the "establishment" wrong. This web site says "Don't believe what your vet says." That article says that we have been doing things wrong for centuries.
But there is an EASY answer. Find a veterinarian that YOU trust. Ask the right questions (or any question that you have). Get to know this person. Find someone that you believe in your heart has the best interest of your pet first in his or her mind. Build a relationship with this vet and let the vet build a relationship with you. Then follow their recommendations. A relationship based on trust and concern and built out of people of good character is worth 1000 suggestions on a random web page or even a peer-reviewed article in a trustworthy media source.
I care about my pets and their people. I worry about them all the time. I read and study and review each medical recommendation that I make. I do not want to let anyone down by being out of date. There is no substitute for a relationship and there is no shortcut.
Go and build relationships. At some point you might find that you want to write a book about it!

These are the moments

As I have walked through this book writing journey, I have had several realizations. Most of them were exciting and fun (and a few were reality checks). There was the first time my editor referred to me as an "author". I had never thought of myself in such a way despite the fact that I was indeed writing a book!
Another moment was when I saw my book listed on Amazon with all the other books. It was an amazing moment as well.
There were several reality moments when I realized that the revisions seemed endless.
Today as Tennessee Tails climbs the Amazon Top Free list, I am again amazed and humbled by the reviews and interest. These stories were so terrific to live through the first time. It was moving to revisit them in the writing and now it is extraordinary to know that the stories are impacting people far and wide. Thank you.
