Milliron Monday: Bugs


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), including his wife Jody (1938-2021). 

Among Jody's treasures is a bug collection. She created the collection for a Girl Scout project. Jody, always an outdoors girl, collected, identified and neatly placed dozens of specimens in a special coffee table, the kind of table that has a shadow box with a latch. The table has traveled from Ohio to Colorado and back to Ohio. Still in good shape, the table remains a family conversation piece.




Have a great week ahead.

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.
