Letter of recommendation

When I last saw Dr. Lee, I asked him if he ever gave his name as a reference because I'm tossing around the idea of starting a cat sitting business (like several here on PT). He said "Sure! Would you like a letter of recommendation?" I was so surprised and I said "That would be great whenever you have the time". Well, I just got it in the mail today. He said that I am extremely knowledgeable and a wonderful caretaker of my cats, that I'm compassionate and observant of many feline diseases and that he would highly recommend me as a pet sitter. Now, how nice and thoughtful is that!

Hey - that's great!!!

Everyone here on PT already knew that too - didn't we??? :D:D

That was very nice of him!

That was really nice of him, but of course, we all know that what he said is true. :) Hope you'll get it up and running soon! Perhaps I should ask my vet too. :p

Well, I don't know about the knowledgeable part. What I know, I owe mostly to PT and all the knowledge that's here for the taking. The rest is personal experience. I appreciate your comments nonetheless and I definitely appreciate his kind gesture. I thought that it couldn't hurt to have a vet as a reference but I certainly didn't expect a letter of recommendation. It was a pleasant surprise.

What a good idea, to ask a vet to be a reference for you as a cat sitter.. And what a glowing (but totally unsurprising) letter he wrote!

What a great letter. So.... it would seem you have impressed the man and finally gave him the chance to say so.

What an AWESOME, well deserved letter, Mary!

Totally cool and it took me about 15 seconds to think about the XX rated-I was short one X!!!-reply for that!:D

What a great letter. I hope that your cat sitting business goes well.:)

How very nice of him. It's great that he did that for you.

Word is already spreading and I haven't even finished work on my contract or flier yet. This could be just what I need.
