Congratulations everyone, huge accomplishment all around. What a wild and crazy journey this has been, used 7 more of my 9 lives but made it! Guess I've officially wheeled to vet med.

I leave on Saturday to get my new service dog. Great ending.

There’s one for vets who breed (animals...clarification needed in this context because there’s about 3 zillion “moms with a dvm” subgroups lol) or have an interest in repro you might be interested in, too. I can invite you if needed.

Interestingly, you didn’t pop up when I searched Finn. I found you though. Sometimes the admins of these groups want to see a pic your diploma or license before you get approved, so check your spam messages if you’re waiting to be approved for some.

Fair, though I guess I'm gonna have to wait a bit for approval if that's the case. Still waiting on the school to actually finish conferring my degree (waiting is so much fun).

I read the first half of your sentence and was like "omg yes there is!" because holy crap the number of DVMoms groups that I've been suggested over the years... I'll stop there.

A fellow SDNer started a DVM-only, vulgar (mother forking!) cooking/baking group a year or two ago, too, if that floats anyone's boat I can add them.

me me me!
 
Peering one week into the future with some trepidation. I don't know what it was about this past week, but throughout this entire clinical year, I've never felt less qualified to be a doctor than I do right now.

And exactly a month from today... I'm going to be teaching 4th years.

Ayyyiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeee

Last minute packing has me freaking out so bad. Way less stuff fit in my escape than I thought. I'm just also really emotional all of the sudden. Been fine until this morning and it's hit me like a brick wall. 5 years of my life was spent here and I actually finally made it despite everything that happened.

I have no idea. My family has a gut feeling it'll be a female yellow lab this time. It's basically a surprise, they invite you to training once they feel they have a dog that fits. I'll train with many when I'm there though.

Yea, it's a strange feeling. It seems like it's all over so quickly, but it's been a long road for everyone. I'm so bad with taking photos I didn't get a single one from the graduation, but the memories are what matter most.

Congratulations everyone!!!! Even if it feels surreal, take the moment now to celebrate your accomplishments and don’t let imposter syndrome kick in just yet. You’ll have a lifetime of that ahead, so for now, own that you’ve earned your doctorate. No if and or buts!

There was a hurricane-level deluge during our graduation, and it was incredibly fitting for this year.

Couldn't even hear myself while taking the oath, but I took it! ☺️

Hey guys, did anyone get approved for accommodation on NAVLE and take it over two days? I have a question about how scheduling works?

Apartment complex was iffy on my dog since she's an "aggressive" breed. Sent them a couple of pics with her used as a therapy dog with kids and they're like "she is gorgeous. We will discuss pet owner policies once you arrive." I'm hoping I'm in the clear now lol...... can't wait to own a home so I don't have to deal with this

I feel this.

I don't have to deal with the aggressive breed stigma, but I do have the "multiple pets and landlords don't like that" issue. I've gotten very lucky with the rental I'm in now, but I really don't desire to repeat the painful process of seeking a rental that accepts my animals.
