Have you ever noticed that when you take a moment to express gratitude, you can impact yourself as well as others in a positive way? Reflecting on things we appreciate and value can lift our spirits, and verbalizing our thankfulness to those around us can put a smile on their faces. And of course, showing our pets we are thankful for them through love and affection can make their days too!
Each day in our clinic is different and every situation is unique. But we find that in the midst of calm or chaos, joy or difficulty, the things for which we are thankful can lift us up. So for this week’s blog, we thought we would share some of the reasons we are thankful – as a clinic, and as individuals.
At Lawndale Veterinary Hospital, we are all thankful for so many things:
- You, our pet owners, who care so deeply for your pets.
- Our patients, who bring joy, delight and happiness into this world.
- Our entire team that works enthusiastically and compassionately to provide our patients with amazing care and our pet owners with fantastic service.
Here are some of the things are team members shared individually:
