I was told by a well-meaning but insensitive (and rather stupid) teacher that I had no aptitude (or smarts) to become a vet and I believed him! I kick myself now, but then, I simply believed what I was told.

I ha...Oh, I remember calving season only too well! I have one really funny story I'll share with you. We, my husband and I, had been feeding out hay and checking cows and calves. One mother was just starting to birth her baby and thinking my four-year-old daughter would find it interesting, we waited quietly. When it was all over, I asked the little girl what she thought. She turned to me, her eyes like saucers, and in a voice filled with wonder said, "I never knew calves came in plastic bags!"
