I hope you got my Rosta’s letter from God’s Dog Park. You are truly a gift to the animal world & those of us that are lucky enough to have them in our lives. Hopefully one day I will be able to handle getting another baby in my life & when that day comes I will be honored for you to be his or her vet. Thank you for all you do.

How cool that you provided this medical miracle to a panther! We did it for our dog and felt so lucky to have her benefit from it. It would be so gratifying to help a panther.

Another baby for Donna to take care. She has her hands full, when she’s not out riding, but she can handle it.

Are you serious??? You just made my Sunday morning!! She’s a beautiful baby, and I love the name! I think she is Scooter’s (Donna’s Aussie) long-lost sister since they have the same coloring, HA! Love your stories, Norm! Keep em coming!!

Little Chico crossed the bridge about 4 months ago. He never changed – crusty little fella that loved me and hated the rest of the world.

She sleeps each night tucked into my side. Yea, so much for the “limit” thing. Great to hear from you Diane.

Another GREAT story! So, what happened to Panda, and how is she doing? I just knew you were going to say you kept her, but I understand the”limit” thing.

What a fantastic new development in medicine. I am a zoologist working in wild animal rescue in Costa Rica and only wish we had this advancement down here.

Incredible beyond words!!! What a story!!! When I first met you, you admitted you weren’t a cat person, well this major medical achievement (and life event) proves you wrong and you are now officially a Floridian too! I am beyond thrilled to hear the stem cell transplant has been a success. Many vets would of never considered this treament option…. as you said this was not performed on a cat! you were definitely thinking outside the box in order to preserve this magnificent cat! Thank you for not accepting what would of been a painful, short lived, crippling life for Buddah and doing what many would deem impossible… all for the sake of this beautiful living creature Floridians should honor and appreciate. We are all blessed due to your gifted thinking and veterinarian skills! A HUGE CONGRATS to your entire team!
