AggieAXO, you are my hero -- I'm totally serious. Because I love animals so much, I wanted to be a veterinarian. I decided to volunteer at an animal shelter to make sure this was for me, and I couldn't handle it. Once, I had to take a cat down to the euthanasia room. I went home and held my cats and bawled for hours. I just couldn't handle that, the blood -- all of it -- and I have so much respect for you because you can.

I agree with all my heart! You are defending and protecting the creatures that have no voice of their own with which to do so. Very noble, in my opinion. And such a difficult field to get into! Some of my sisters med school classmates ended up there as their second choice; they didn't get accepted into vet school so decided to become "people doctors" instead!
