Today marks 10 years since I became the proud owner of Eastern Shore Vet Hospital.
What a journey it has been.
When I took over the clinic a decade ago, I knew it would be both rewarding and challenging, but I could never have imagined just how much this place, the people, and the animals would mean to me over the years.
To everyone who has been part of the Eastern Shore Vet Hospital team, both past and present—thank you. Every one of you has played a role in shaping the practice into what it is today. Your compassion, dedication, hard work, and commitment to the animals and families we care for have left a lasting impact. I feel incredibly grateful to have worked alongside so many wonderful people over the years.
To my family—thank you for being my biggest supporters through every step of this journey. When I bought the practice 10 years ago, my kids were just babies, and they've grown up alongside Eastern Shore Vet Hospital. There have been countless early mornings, late nights, interrupted family dinners, and weekends spent at the clinic, and they've shared in the sacrifices that come with owning a business. To my husband, Dan—my often reluctant co-owner—thank you for your unwavering love, encouragement, patience, and support. Whether you signed up for it or not, you've been there through every challenge and every success, and I simply couldn't have done it without you.
And to our wonderful clients—thank you for placing your trust in us to care for your beloved pets. It is a privilege that I never take for granted. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your pets' lives, from the joyful milestones to the heartbreaking goodbyes. Your loyalty and kindness have helped shape Eastern Shore Vet Hospital into the community it is today.
As I look back on the last 10 years, I'm filled with gratitude. There have been challenges, plenty of learning, and so many moments of joy, but through it all I've been reminded just how special this profession is and how fortunate I am to be part of it.
I've included a few favourite photos from over the years that happened to be in my camera roll—mostly of me with some of the wonderful pets we've cared for. They certainly aren't a complete reflection of the thousands of beautiful animals, amazing clients, and incredible moments that have made the last decade so memorable. If your pet isn't pictured, please know it's simply because these were the photos I had on hand, not because they weren't an important part of the journey.
Thank you to everyone who has supported Eastern Shore Vet Hospital over the past decade. I'm incredibly proud of what we've built together, and I'm excited for what the future holds.
Here's to the next chapter.
