‘Vet Visit’

Yes. This exists. Apparently. Who knew?
Well, Gene Weingarten knew. At the closing of his chat today he posted this call to action:
Molly’s veterinary clinic, one of the largest in the Washington area, is running low on cat and dog blood. They desperately need donors. They are the VCA Veterinary Referral clinic, at 500 Perry Parkway, in Gaithersburg.
The deal is, you call em up and make a free appointment for your dog or cat. They will do a general exam and take bloodwork, and if your animal qualifies, it goes on a donor list for future lifesaving calls, on a case by case basis.
Call Adrian M-Th from 6 am to 4pm, to set up an initial appointment. 301 926 3300
Yay! Do it. Your pet will be grateful.
He later tweeted: “If your pet is chosen as a donor, you get a free annual exam & heartworm pills!”
I wouldn’t start taking my pet to an out-of-the-way clinic for this, but if you’re already in the Gaithersburg area and your pet isn’t too wigged out by the vet it certainly seems like a good deed with some positive payoff. Above and beyond the good karma, that is. Lastly, they are also in need of vet techs and posted Jobs for Vet Techs for interested applicants.
Well I used to say something in my profile about not quite being a “tinker, tailor, soldier, or spy” but Tom stole that for our about us page, so I guess I’ll have to find another way to express that I am a man of many interests.
Hmm, guess I just did.
My tastes run the gamut from sophomoric to Shakespeare and in my “professional” life I’ve sold things, served beer, written software, and carried heavy objects… sometimes at the same place. It’s that range of loves and activities that makes it so easy for me to love DC – we’ve got it all.
