Large corporations are buying up private veterinarian clinics/practices and of course raising prices. Thrive Pet Care bought out Lien Animal Clinic here in Seattle and prices have gone up quite a bit. I still go there, but that could change eventually

Thanks for signing up, Joan. I appreciate it! And I'll keep you in mind for collaborating in the future. Right now I'm putting together a post on "why I think term limits are a bad idea", and it's going verrry slooowly. We'll see how quickly I can get it done and move on to another issue.

I am overwhelmed with the number of beloved books I have, dating back to childhood...but I still wish I had this book! She really did her research and her exercises stand the test of time.
