Featured Pet - Shawn


Shawn at 3 years of age
Boy, was Shawn surprised when his "mom" caught him on the bed and got photographic evidence!

Shawn was a Irish Setter whom I met shortly after I graduated from veterinary school. In his youth, I was told, he was a spunky rascal! Actually, I first met Shawn when he was a bit older, but he still had not lost his spunk. He always had a smile on his face--and if your a dog person you understand what I mean! Well, I believe it's been almost a year since Shawn passed away. He lived to a ripe old age and was a wonderful companion to his "mom." She took wonderful care of him. I will forever appreciate her trust in me when I was his doctor. Shawn was a friend whom I dearly miss. I cherish the times we visited. It is because of owners with companions like Shawn that make me glad everyday that I became a veterinarian.

 

Thank you, Shawn. 

Your friend, Dr. Ron Beatty
