So I was sort of browsing for my SS person today (Since I'm the SS I dont know what I call the person I'm sending to..
)
And I started thinking about giving my vet a card or something. Aside from the fact that I have a huge crush on him (no he's not single so I don't want to be weird by giving him something) he's been really fantastic and he's the first vet I've had that I actually trust and have faith in. Arthur and Chester were really sick for a long time (Nov-April) and he was always there for me, returned all my calls promptly and answered all my questions. My dog is a nut (I have a Great Dane (he does too)) and he'll spend five or ten minutes talking to me instead of rushing in and freaking out my poor dopey dog and then rushing out to the next appointment. He let me follow him around for a day when I decided to seriously look in to the vet tech program. Arthur puked up his last feeding tube after having it in for less than 24 hours and Dr Miles sewed him up (including putting him under anasthesia) free of charge. Ruby went in the other day and he let me help since they were short on techs and he knows I work for another vet (It was awesome!) And he called the clinic where I work to talk to one of the other girls and after he talked to her he asked to talk to me and he asked how Ruby was doing, which I thought was just so great that he cared enough to ask.
So anyways, I'd like to do something to show my appreciation. I've given his clinic four matted photos and they've got them up in the exam rooms but I did that as a gift to the clinic, and to everyone for letting me spend a day there. I'd like to do something specifically for him as a thank you for being such a great vet/person, but I dont want to be weird.
I guess it would be weird if I gave him something, I dont know what he wants and he's got a great business going so he can afford it himself, but a card seems so impersonal.
Thoughts?
