Yes, I was very happy when Dr. LeBeau came out of retirement. I prayed for 4 years that he would. He was too young to retire and he admits it now; says he missed it too much. He remembered Creamsicle and said how pitiful she was when I first brought her to him. (She could only walk in circles then and her head swung violently back and forth like a pendulum due to her brain disease.) But he fixed her up and now she walks like a salamander and her head just has a slight tremor. I named her Creamsicle because of her coloring. She was so tiny and I picked her up and said "Oh, you're too cute! You look just like a little creamsicle. I could eat you up!". And the name stuck.

When my dog Charmin died, Dr. LeBeau hand wrote a two page letter to me. He's a wonderful, caring vet and I'm lucky to have him only 10 min. away. However, I still may have Dr. Lee do Cgirl's spay. This man has quite a staff and he has an instinct like none I've ever seen. I wouldn't hurt Dr. LeBeau's feelings for the world. But Dr. Lee would have an anesthesiologist as well as an assistant while he did the surgery. I don't think Dr. LeBeau has that. I'll find out, though.

Blessings,
