Lilia meets a Horse Vet

Patti & Tony are friends of my parents. The last time Lilia was over Patti mentioned scheduling a veterinarian visit for her horses so Lilia could meet the vet and she what she does.
So to know Lilia is to know of her LOVE for animals. She wants to be a vet when she grows up. Even though this is typical of lots of young children, we are going to foster this passion and see where God leads her.
On Friday Lilia had the day off of school so we spent some time with the horses, Patti and got to meet a practicing vet! Lilia watched Dr. Jo give horses needles, use a distraction technique on one of the horses and take blood from two.
Dr. Jo is a traveling veterinarian specializing in horses. She was tough and down to business with the horses and really sweet towards Lilia.

 Dr. Jo Vecchione graduated from Penn Vet school and had Dr. Peter Dodson as her professor for one class. Our family visited his office last March; click here to jog your memory.
Dr. Jo took blood from a couple of the horses. She had to take photos of the vials of blood with the horses name on it. She gave Lilia one of the vials to hold up so she could take a picture.

This is Patti. Patti recently asked Lilia if she could be her adopted grandmother. Lilia said yes.
