ππ It's Vet Tech Appreciation Week, and we need to talk about the real MVPs of Colorado Ranch Vet! ππ
Bridget, Jacki, Renee, and Charles: you are the backbone of this practice. Dr. Heather would be a very talented woman (with amazing hair π
) standing alone in a pasture, holding a thermometer and a dream, without you.
Think about what these humans do:
π Wrangle giant bulls who have other plans
π Catch sheep that are track & field stars, suddenly (move over mutton bustinβ!)
π Convince a goat that the needle is "not a big deal" (the goat disagrees, loudly, so very loudly)
π¦ Restrain all the reindeer, especially Blitzen and Dasherπ
π Run yaks through who treat "personal space" as a mere suggestion
π Swipe chickens off the ground who are intent on not being captured
π Draw up and dispense all medication, checking every dose, knowing all the things
π Keeping doc safe, (mostly π
) on time, and preventing her from entering more unplanned bodies of water
And they do it all in the mud, the snow, the rain, the wind, and whatever that smell is. Then they get back in the truck and do it again, with a smile, with laughs, with all the passion and heart and grit β¨
Special shout-out to Charles, who bravely holds the title of only guy on a team full of strong, smart, hilarious women (if we do say-so, ourselves π). Charles, we know you never had a chance, and we're so glad you stayed anyway. πͺ
These heroβs in scrubs, painted with manure, and all the things - work hard every second to keep our patients safe, and the clients feeling like family, and they never once ask for a thank-you. So here's a big one anyway.
We are so lucky to have you. We truly, truly have the best team in the entire world, and we'll fight any other practice who says otherwise. (Bring your own goat).
Happy Vet Tech Appreciation Week to our CRV Techs, the heart of our practice, the reason Dr. Heather stocks up on w**e! π
