    Of yourself you can do nothing truly good. For it is the nature of humanity to control matters, going so far as to convince themself of their own righteousness. It is a recursive problem, reassured ironically by one’s own pride. But for those who realize their brokenness, convicted by their shortcomings (sin), look to God in flesh, Jesus Christ, who can dwell in you, and regardless of your weakness He is able. He is strong and you are not. He is able and you are not. It is by His gift of grace and not your efforts that you can truly live, and what good that actually is done, is Christ working through you - Him who lives in you. If you believe, repent and live with Him, then ask for His rest, His comfort, His instruction - in whatever troubles your heart.

When in reality nobody likes them because of the way they act towards other people. Leave race out of it and treat others like you want to be treated. It’s really that simple.

    I used to walk the Vet. Medicine halls at CSU and look at the graduating class veterinarians. This was in 2012ish, I would hunt for the POC or males of any color. It is a white woman dominated profession. I asked the vet I was there visiting. I was told vet school was harder to get into at the time then human medicine. There were so many more human medicine schools. People who were concerned about money went to human medicine school. That left pretty much privileged white women that could afford to attend vet school. Not my words my friend’s words. I don’t know that world.

      Thank you for your service! It depends on what you would like to do. There’s many different career paths. For example, a lot of the dolphin trainers you see have psychology degrees. Veterinarians, honestly, I’ve heard all sorts of majors, but biology is probably one of the more common. Biology is probably fine to get you to a next step. I’m not sure how much experience you are allowed. The army has dolphins. I interviewed one of the veterinarians for the Army dolphins. I’ll get the link for you.

    Just had lap of love in October for our 16 yr old baby. One of the hardest days of our lives but it gave us comfort knowing he passed at home in our arms on his couch. They were wonderful. We miss our baby Homer so much. 💔😭🌈

      I'm sorry to hear about Homer. I'm glad that you were able to have a good support team with Lap of Love. I was glad to have Dr. Mathew share behind the scenes.

    And doctors foolishly thinking they have to be everything for everyone. No other profession forces a doctor to be an oncologist, orthopedic surgeon, general surgeon, orthodontist, dentist, dermatologist, ophthalmologist, radiologist, ulttasonographer, pathologist, GP, ... all in one day. Stop it!!!! Stop trying to be all things.

    Wall Street owns over 30 percent of practices, causing rampant increase in costs to pet owners, typical corporate oppressing and threatening and exploiting employees, forcing working almost everyday, endless wateful meetings...

    Deans largely are arrogant fools. We had the Pew Report in 1988 that told veterinary schools to take a different path. Academics in veterinary medicine do not give a flip about the educational needs of veterinary students.
