I did a lecture for the St. Paul Public Library tonight called "Tails from an Iditarod Vet" - what fun! 60 some kids and adults showed up, and JP got to dress up in sled dog gear, which he probably didn't appreciate. It was great to be able to spur kids' interest in dogs and cats, and to see what a great impact pets have in our daily life and society.
