Absolutely loved Dr Dee. She is just SO upbeat and positive and I can tell she has a sense of humor similar to mine.
The first dog was heartbreaking. As they mentioned, in Alaska, you are stuck indoors with your animals pretty much 24/7, so that poor guy lost (I am guessing they did put her to sleep) his best friend...looks like another show I will be going through a few Kleenex an episode on.
And oh man, that husky. How can that story not make you smile? You gotta love how animals just don't care about things like not having the use of their front legs. They are just happy to be alive and be around people that love them. And fantastic idea to use him as sort of a therapy dog for soldiers missing limbs.
And Dr Dee's assistant. She was crying over that mans dog. THAT is the kind of vet assistant/tech I want. One that cares about my pets almost as much as I do. I have had some very, hmm...how to put it...robotic maybe(?) vets and vet techs. My dogs HATE the vet to begin with and then having a "cold" vet makes it worse. Our current vet is awesome though, even our beagle/pekingese mix likes her and he doesn't like people that much (we call him "grumpy old man" for a reason).
Overall, definitely a show I will be tuning in to every week.
And I started watching Dr K last night. Another vet you can tell just CARES. Ugh, that poor goat! I grew up next to a farm that had goats and they really can be friendly and fairly intelligent.
That macaw was an absolute sweetheart. I am not much of a bird person (I like seeing them in the wild, but not so much for my house because of the noise level), but man, I would take him in a heartbeat if he didn't have such a loving and caring home.
The animals always warm my heart...but it is also nice to see other people that care about animals as much as I do. Watching a show like Pit Bulls and Parolees, I sometimes forget stuff like that (seeing how people can just abandon an old dog in a house with a damn bowl of water and thats it).
Not sure what is up with all these vet shows coming out all the sudden, but I LOVE it. Great change of pace from all the scripted "reality" shows all about drama...
