[nagdu] Monty at the vet

[Julie J.]

Yes, I do love the vet care here.  They know me and my dogs.  It's super 
affordable.  It's minimal, wholeistic care.  What I mean by minimal is 
that they don't go crazy doing a bunch of tests or giving loads of 
medications.  If you want in depth testing, they will do them if you 
ask.  I love that about this vet.

I also have to admit that hearing cows mooing in the back pen makes me 
smile!

Julie
