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). 

Happy Valentine's Day!
 
Jody's mother, Virginia (aka Me-me), enjoyed celebrating Valentine's Day. Jody's daughter, Jessica, shares cards to her Grandmother Virginia. 

Virginia lived with Jessica's family for several years. The Valentine's Day card below was signed by Jessica and her family and all of Virginia's caregivers. The small hands were traced by Noah, Jessica's son (Meme's great-grandson).

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.
