That is very impressive! With ethics like that, I think I would trust his judgment on anything he recommended! I'm with you regarding paying for skill, not pleasantries (not that there's anything wrong with being reasonably pleasant ) and I'm so glad Dr.B. did/does have that skill! I showed my DH Bones' picture and told him that I know people think I'm paranoid about doors, gates, etc., but I intend to continue being so since I don't ever want to see this happen to one of my dogs! I'm sorry it happened to Bones, but I'm thrilled with his positive outcome. I can't wait to see pictures of him fully healed!
