We humans know all about being tested.  Sometimes it feels like we get tested on a daily basis.  It can be tiring, but I have always relied on the saying that we are never dealt something that we can’t handle.  At least, so far in my 67 years, that seems to be the case. There…

I belong to a number of pet-related forums.  I enjoy the interaction among fellow pet caretakers and there are times I can give some helpful advice.  One group that I particularly enjoy is the iHeartSeniorDogs group.  I mean, who doesn’t love old dogs.  Even the old Tom T.

  “Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult – once we truly understand and accept it – then life is no longer difficult. Because once it…

Albert Einstein once said, “Science will ultimately lead us back to spirituality.”  What he was indirectly saying was that in our attempt to use science to understand the truth or reality, we will be led to the awareness that there is no such thing.  Now, this is pretty heavy stuff, even from the master of…

It is hard to imagine that next week will be the last week that I see pets in my office.  It is almost hard to even imagine.  It seems like just yesterday.  I was sitting in my new hospital in San Antonio waiting to see my first patient.  I had planned my opening the following…

Like all major transitions in our lives, change usually involves some bumps along the new pathway. When we are carving a new pathway, there are going to be obstacles, but the important thing is to realize the progress and keep moving forward.
