Random Thoughts On Conferences Part One

toonfull@aol.com — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 05:00:00 +0100

My next few blogs will be devoted to the subject of continuing education and veterinary conferences. I have been to several conferences in Las Vegas, mainly during my stint in the Army Veterinary Corps. I figured when they asked where I wanted to get my CE at, Vegas seemed a perfect choice, especially since the military paid for it. No matter how many times I tried, though, I could never get a per diem reimbursement for the gambling. I went to one AVMA conference in Kentucky - I don’t [...]

New Book Now Available! Vet Med Spread

toonfull@aol.com — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 05:00:00 +0100

The long anticipated sequel to From the Back Row is finally here! The title of the new book is Vet Med Spread, the definition of which lies below. It is 234 pages of pure entertainment and contains 16.7% more humor by volume than its predecessor. I was really aiming for a September release date so that much-needed stress relief could be brought to those poor, unfortunate veterinary students starting a new academic year, however production negotiations and errors pushed it until now. It i [...]

Random Thoughts On Pet Names

toonfull@aol.com — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 15:31:37 +0100

We’ve all had our share of Labradors named Max, Beagles named Shiloh, Chow Chows named Bear, and white Persians (or anything else white and fluffy) named Snowball. I’m not here to talk about them. Instead, I’d like to talk about the random thoughts that cross my mind in regards to pet names. Now, since I’m more of a dog and cat veterinarian, this discourse will be a little skewed. Certainly, if anyone out there has thoughts and experience in naming iguanas, horses, or [...]

Reasonable Client Sighted!

toonfull@aol.com — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 05:00:00 +0100

The quiet town of Goose Creek, Kentucky (Pop. 272) was disturbed this week by a sighting of the legendary Reasonable Client. This mythic creature rarely shows itself and is notable for its calm and accepting nature. A local veterinary clinic was the location of the sighting and while the staff was excited about the encounter, they wished to maintain their anonymity.

"We just don’t want a lot of gawkers and amateur sleuths tra [...]

Bo the First Dog's First 100 Days

toonfull@aol.com — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 05:00:00 +0100

Bo, President Barack Obama’s pick as First Dog, has had an eventful first 100 days in his new position. In what some consider a brilliant move, President Obama, in picking a Portuguese Waterdog, has virtually clinched the Portuguese-American voting block. It has also been pointed out that choosing a black and white dog is very inclusive.

Senator and Mrs. Kennedy presented him to Sasha and Malia in April as a gift [...]
