I think we should change his name to Chesty and go ahead and give him a promotion. And give that dog a beer sounds like he needs one!!

I was introduced to your stories by my friend, Dale Walker. I really enjoy them. You should compile them in a book. I;m glad to read about your feelings of euthanasia. I had to have my cat put down several weeks ago. She was 19 1/2 yeara old. The vet stayed with me during the experience and was very compassionate.. Margie Raymond Dear Norm.

Being an animal lover, I'm looking forward to book filled with episodes from Dr. Norm's practice. Guess I'll have to wait until he "retires." What a delightful story!
