husband & wife veterinarians
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (BRIAN C JACOBSEN) Mike May asked: What is this? Is there a rule about Vets having to marry other Vets or what? Or are they the only people that would understand the sort of hours you people usually work? ;-) Mike, you hit it right on the head. Plus, there are the other things: -coming home smelling like every part of a cow you can imagine (and some you can't!), -dinners getting cold, missed birthday parties and anniversaries -phone calls at all times of the night -working 80+ hours per week -spending time together means performing a C-section on a pot-bellied pig on your anniversary (really!) -helping feed orphaned newborn puppies and kittens through the night -caring for all the unwanted animals that are brought home "just until we can find someone to adopt him" -the list goes on So yes, I think it takes one to understand/put up with one. So to the Whites and the Trupianos - a big double thumbs up!! To any others married to or affiliated with veterinarians - thanks and keep it up! And to everyone else, if you have a good veterinarian that you appreciate, please let them know often! The thing that keeps most veterinarians doing what they do is knowing that you appreciate them. They risk being kicked, bitten and trampled every day, they could be making better money and have better hours by being people doctors, and (as with all professions I guess) people are more demanding and less appreciative all the time. So if you love 'em, let 'em know! Sincerely, Brian Jacobsen _ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

gestation
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (BRIAN C JACOBSEN) To the Ofjords and McGinleys, Thanks for your responses to the gestation length question. So far we have an average of 341 days, but that's with just a very few mares. John and Mary - Nice to hear about Sylvi; "Grabb" daughters are usually very nice mares. Hope her imminent foaling goes fine. Mark- sounds like it was love at first site between your mare FA Alida and the stallion! Even though you were not given a definite breeding date, it must have been shortly after the two were introduced. Nancy Lehnert - It was nice to hear from you the other day. Bet you could give us gestation lengths from a number of breedings? Please keep the gestation lengths coming in. I will be able to add figures on 75 or more foalings myself as soon as I sit down and compare the breeding dates with the foaling dates. It would be nice to have an "average" figure on Fjords to help people plan somewhat for the foaling. In my experience, Fjords tend to carry somewhat longer than the average mare, as do other "draft" type breeds.
