I had to take my dog Brutus there on a Sunday in March 2009 because he was having seizures. I was so upset I couldn't possibly have driven myself. Fireboy was in Canada working. One of my friends came to my rescue, and she and her husband drove me to the clinic. Thank heavens for good friends. The trip seemed to take forever, probably more like 40 minutes. Still, a long time when you have an animal that is suffering. I wish they had an Emergency Clinic in The Villages.
The clinic doctor seemed knowledgeable and professional. Sadly, Brutus was diagnosed with a brain tumour and a week later he had to be euthanized. It was a horribly sad time.
But when one door closes, another opens. A month later we were offered our rescue Portguese Water Dog. Of course we still miss our beloved Brutus. But Lolli Pop is a welcome addition to our family and keeps us entertained with her quirky personality.
