A lot is happening at Oakencroft! We have two new doctors, one new-ish doctor, and a new intern!
Suzanne Jaynes: Why did you become a veterinarian?
I have wanted to be a veterinarian since I was six years old, maybe earlier. Growing up, I heard endless stories about my Dad’s family and their involvement with animals.
Bree Kennedy: Why did you become a veterinarian?
Growing up with four, very outgoing, very loud sisters I found comfort in the quietness of animals.
Taylor Huffman: Why did you become a veterinarian?
The reason I became a vet is very simple: I love helping animals and their owners.
Katie Clark: Why did you become a veterinarian?
Like many others, I have always loved animals and enjoyed caring for them. When I was young, I became very interested in horses and started taking riding lessons. I was immediately hooked. I surrounded myself with horses and spent all my free time at the barn.
Emily Tuttle: Why did you become a veterinarian?
…. the veterinary industry, on the other hand, was never my dream. I was going to be a writer, horse trainer, forensic psychologist, equine-assisted therapist, cowgirl, you name it….

Allie Catalino: Why did you become a veterinarian?

Jennifer Safford: Why did you become a veterinarian?
It seems to me that a lot of people gravitate towards choosing a career that is familiar to them and, hopefully, also interests them.
Carlin Jones: Why did you become a veterinarian?
At least once a week I have a client tell me that they always wanted to be a vet, but circumstances kept it from happening.

Women, Horses, and their Horsey Friends
A few years ago, I was called to an early morning emergency. An older draft horse was down on the ice. It was a very sad case and in the end, the horse was euthanized. It is a situation I have seen before and I am sure I will see it again. What really struck me about this situation was the people that came to help.
