I had dinner the other night with one of my former college roommates, Kristin. Since college she has gotten her veterinary degree, and since her husband is a professional musician whose band is based out of Waco, she has moved back here. I found her on Facebook, and I was thrilled to see that I actually knew someone in Waco. She has a veterinary practice about 15 minutes from my apartment.
So, this afternoon Jonathan was looking for doggie daycare places for Toad, and we realized that he has not gotten a Bordetella vaccination in the last 6 months. Doggie daycares will not accept dogs without that vaccination, and Toad is with me in Waco right now, so we kind of thought we were screwed because I couldn't take him to the vet. I was like, "I don't know any vets in Waco!" But, then, I remembered, I actually do!
I called and they fit me in within 30 mins of my phone call. I drove him over there, Kristin herself actually gave him the shot which took all of 15 seconds, and we were home within another 20 minutes. Easy! And she didn't even charge me for the visit, just the medicine. Sometimes it's really nice to have the right connections!
