Well, the day we’ve been waiting for is finally here. No more political commercials! This has been a tough few months guys; as if practicing veterinary medicine isn’t hard enough, we’ve had to tiptoe around the landmines of a contentious election as well. Few things are worse than being stuck listening to a client’s tirade about (insert any topic you disagree with) when you can’t say a thing in return because you’re trying to focus on taking care of their pet. Take a breath. It’s almost over.
No one is paying attention to anything else today and we realized no one is going to be in the mood for our typical posts, which is completely understandable. On that note, we decided to step aside from our usual schedule of professional development topics and instead encourage any and all of you to get in some much needed self care today.
Today’s Self Care Suggestions are brought to you by the letters D, O, and G.
Take a walk.
Have some ice cream.

Turn off the TV and look up at the sky.
Take a long nap.
And if you’re stuck at work, at least you’ve got dogs there to keep you company. They don’t care who you vote for.
It’s easy to forget in divisive times, but we are united by so many wonderful things. I wake up every day proud to be a member of the veterinary profession. Thanks for sticking with us here at the site as we grow, and I look forward to the future with all of you! -Jessica
