My old neighbor in NY was a vet.

Had his own cable TV show for years.

We'd bring our Schnauzer in and he'd call in this big football player looking orderly to keep the dog under control. He'd do "maintenance" stuff like clip the nails for a $40 upsell on the visit.

He had an associate, woman, she could do anything to that dog and he'd take it without a complaint. She used to clip the nails and we would never be charged for it.

When she left and opened her own practice we moved with her.

My neighbor calls me and asks what gives?

Said sorry, dog likes her better and I don't feel like I'm getting raked over the coals every time I come in for a visit.
