The Kansas City area is extremely fortunate to have Mission MedVet and its tremendous staff of professionals, from the ladies at the front desk to the specialty physicians (3/1, Kansas City Star Magazine, “Animal E.R.”).
The clinic excels in communications. From the animal “parents” camped out in their waiting room to those at home walking the floor, there are updates after rounds, and updates before your primary physician goes home at night. Plus those parents are encouraged to call in at any hour of the day or night to check on their beloved pets. Visiting, talking to and touching or holding your pets during their stay is also encouraged.
Mission MedVet sets the standards for care, concern and cleanliness for which all people hospitals should strive.

...and their litter boxes clean.
I've never had a cat and would love one, but our dogs can't even tolerate the word. Years ago, my husband came home from the doctor and said he had to go back for a CAT scan, and our dog Jimmy began to howl and ran to look out the window.
Jimmy is now ten years old. Please don't tell him he may be replace by a cat.

Our cats would consider it an insult to be referred to as the children of mere humans. They are far superior beings, who only tolerate our presence as long as we keep their food dishes full.

Yeah well, you tell these two border-collie mixes that the guy laying on the sofa watching the golf channel isn't their Daddy. I'm sure not gonna break that news to 'em...

Geeezus! Is this woman talking about cats and dogs? One of the hardest parts of my recent journies to make a living is that I have not been able to take my old dogs with me (they are living at home with my son and his family). I miss the old twerps (one is 14 and the "young one" is twelve) horribly. But I am NOT their "father"! That is sick and twisted!
I believe in evolution. As such, I am okay with being a decendant of a monkey. But direct paternity of a dog? That's just sick. Isn't it illegal to have sex with a female dog? I mean, think of it's poor, Pomeranian mother!
