Add on that I've also had a stream of sickly furkids and had to learn how to do all sorts of things for them, and of course, now dealing with the elderly parents in & out of the hospital at times. The nurses have always been angels -- and severely overworked.<br /><br />Even though my family thinks I would have made a great vet, I know that I do not have that in me. People who choose a caretaking career are special.
