| Pete and Jody's calendars |
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).
"The clock and calendar are all set with my dog in mind."
J. Smith
Mondays sure do roll around fast; sometimes days go slow, years swim by. Looking back at old calendars we realize just how quickly time passes. Some of us, like Jody, fill our daily calendar with important reminders and a list of things to do. Some of us fill a calendar, then pitch it at the end of the year. There are people, like Jody, who keep their calendars from year to year, which can be a lot of piled up calendars (whew).
Calendars can say a lot about a person - where they go, what they do. Jody, for instance, recorded everything. Besides appointments, she noted the time/date of special area events, including events at Arts West, the Dairy Barn, and the Kennedy Museum. Pet deworming and vaccination dates were of the utmost importance. The dates of hunting season - bow, gun, and muzzleloaders - all listed in big letters. Family gatherings were penciled in, usually circled with emphasis.
How do you track your days? Think about the impact on future generations of keeping a daily calendar. I hope you have a large pile of used calendars... um... at least a large amount of spaced filled on your digital device.
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.
