My trip to the Veterinary Cancer Care Clinic in Santa Fe, New Mexico, on Thursday was more like checking into a spa than seeing a doctor! I couldn’t believe that I hopped into a place where sick dogs and cats go for help. Their cozy office was more like a comfy home, and not some sterile clinic. They even let dogs sit on the furniture! The staff was really friendly, and they gave me so much attention. All of a sudden, my cancer didn’t seem so scary.
My oncologist was Dr. Mullins. She is so sweet, and one of the nicest vets we’ve ever met. As she did her exam on me, she found my tired bones and did something called “Reiki.” Oooh, that was so nice! I fell asleep and drooled on the floor. Mom said she’d never seen me so relaxed. Nurse Kelly was great too, she gave me so much love.
