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.

But, Lolli Pop is a very cute addition to your family.
I am not sure calm I would be if I had to drive to Leesburg for an emergency either. That's why I thought a landmark would come in very handy.
I have been thinking of switching vets to one that has an emergency for evenings and weekends but I am not sure that the one in Summerfield would be all that much closer given all the roundabouts I would need to use to get to it. I believe the vet in Summerfield has someone there for emergencies but that only looks like it covers from about 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
