Trust me, he takes plenty of vacation. His office mgr. told me that he and his family were in FL this week. He just took a week off not too long ago as well. He's also cut back on his hours. I don't know what I'll do if he retires. When my first vet retired, I cried buckets of tears because I had just gotten Creamsicle, my CH baby, and I was scared to death to have her spayed because she's also deaf. Well, she didn't come into heat until she was nearly 6 years old and by that time I had found Dr. Lee. My first vet is the most compassionate man I've ever met and he LOVES cats and does it ever show. When he came out of retirement, I felt all my dreams had been answered. I had Dr. Lee as a specialist and Dr. LeBeau for the every day stuff. But Dr. LeBeau retired again after only two years back in his practice. He's had a bad back w/multiple surgeries and I guess he just can't be on his feet for too long. So I cried again. But his associate, Dr. Butera, is the one who told me to give Puddy all the B vitamins and not just B12, and she gave me the syringe for free. She's very sweet and compassionate as well. So I'll be going to her more often, especially since she's only 6 minutes away and Dr. Lee is 45 minutes away w/the shortcut that I found. W/gas prices the way they are and w/a stressed out and sick kitty in the car, if I can cut my drive time down, I'll do it. But Dr. Lee knows Puddy and her history and he loves her, I can tell. His eyes crinkle up at the corners and you can't fake that. I love the guy. If he wasn't married........
