TUESDAY 8:34 PM

You got 98%. I’m so proud of you!

TUESDAY 8:35 PM

Thank you :)

I’m kind of proud of me too?

I just mean, maybe I really will make it to veterinary school.

TUESDAY 8:40 PM

I don’t doubt it for a minute. What made you want to be a vet?

TUESDAY 8:42 PM

Thank you, Daddy :)

Um, I was always asking for pets but my parents thought they’d be too much trouble, so I used to sneak over to our neighbor’s as often as I could, because he had a dog.

Her name was Molly.

The dog, not the neighbor. His name was Mr. Clyde.

Well, Clyde Wilson, actually, but he was super old and I was just a kid, so he told me to call him Mr. Clyde.

Anyway, sorry. You don’t need all those details.

TUESDAY 8:50 PM

Need? Maybe not. But want? Always. :) What kind of dog was Molly?

TUESDAY 8:51 PM

She was a beagle, and she was older than Mr. Clyde in dog years! But so sweet. But also kind of sick? And I was always begging him to take her to the doctor so she could feel better, but he never would, and it broke my heart, but I knew I couldn’t talk back to him, but I also couldn’t understand it?

He was a really nice guy too, so I finally decided he just couldn’t afford it, and that’s why he kept saying no. So I decided *I* would become a doctor so I could fix her for free.
