Milliron Monday: Merry Christmas 12 23 19

Abbott "Pete" Smith, D.V.M.
June 16, 1938 - February 22, 2010

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. 

Happy Eve before Christmas Eve! Winding down a successful year, we don't hesitate to give back to our family, friends, and community. Christmas is a good time to "pay it forward" and bless others as we have been blessed. Sometimes blessings are intangible - spending time with those we love sometimes is better than any wrapped gift. Time is the ultimate gift.

Around Christmas, you could find Dr. Smith and Jody spending time at the local church, a couple of their family flock in tow for the annual children's Christmas program. The sheep, beloved by all, were welcome on stage with the children. Baa, Baa.. real sounds for a humble nativity.

As we move into Christmas, remember those who are on emergency call and may be pulled away from their family to save a life. Best wishes for a Merry Christmas.


Through captivating, powerful, and emotional anecdotes, we celebrate the life of Dr. Abbott P. Smith. His biography takes the reader from smiles to laughter to empathy and tears. Dr. Smith gave us compelling lessons learned from animals; the role animals play in the human condition, the joy of loving an animal, and the awe of their spirituality. A tender and profound look into the life of a skilled veterinarian.
