"Fall is in the air!"

October is a full and beautiful month where we have lots to celebrate!  It's National Vet Tech Week!  "Woo Hoo!" Each of you are absolutely amazing human beings, whether VTs, CVTs, or VTAs !!  And quite frankly, Earth Angels, in my expert opinion!!  I love and respect each of you for how you pour your heart, soul and skills into the many dimensions of what you do each day, week, month and year all for the sake of your patients, clients and your practice!  

THANK YOU!!!
 
Here are a few other beautiful points of diversity being observed around the country and our beautiful world: Polish American Heritage Month, Italian American Heritage Month, and Filipino American History Month.  It is even Global Diversity Awareness Month!!  Sept. 15th - October 15th, is Hispanic Heritage Month... ! Muy bien!
 
Also, October is Awareness month of a few other forms that I believe reflect Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Acceptance: ADHD Awareness, Breast Cancer Awareness, Down Syndrome Awareness, as well as National Disability Employment Awareness Month.  There are many more groups, people and causes that are so worth celebrating and bringing awareness to!!  May I encourage you to "Google it!" and find out what is happening with those around you:)
