Don't let your cat get loose in the parking lot...
Welcome to Milliron Monday where every Monday we celebrate the legacy of Pete Smith, D.V.M., and Milliron: Abbott “Pete” Smith, D.V.M. The Biography (Monday Creek Publishing 2017). A graduate of Colorado State University and a well-known veterinarian in southeast Ohio, Dr. Smith continues to motivate and inspire.
For some reason I keep thinking parking lot is one word. It's not. Parking lot. Parking lot...
If the Milliron Clinic parking lot could talk, well, it would have a lot to say. Of course, parking lots can't talk and we are left to tell the witty, wise, and sometimes whimsical legends from the limestone.
This is the first of a series about the parking lot. Oh, yes, there are a lot of stories from the old lot. Hard to believe, I suppose. But, nonetheless, I will share with you everything that I know and what I've been told.

We will take a grand tour of the parking lot - from the first ton of stone to the beautiful/annoying peacocks, woolly sheep, lumbering oxen, horses, and more.
Can a parking lot really hold that much interest? Yes. Amazingly so. Imagine animals in and out of the clinic, horse trailers packed to the perimeter, cattle trucks, horses and riders with standing room only, oxen peeking in client's cars while they're sleeping, peacocks claiming their territory, people with pets in and out, lives altered, miracles... whew! And, we can't forget the cattle guard leading into the parking lot.
Parking lot. Keep tuned in every week as Jody and clients share their stories of the Milliron parking lot.
Have a great week ahead.
