Milliron Monday: Milliron Farm

 

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, including his wife Jody

Remember the days of old; consider the generations long past.
Deuteronomy 32:7

In the Smith family archives are weathered photos that hold memories for many people. Pete and Jody welcomed family and guests to interact with horses, ponies, goats, sheep, and more. They were okay with sharing family horses for trail rides and hoping you had the best day of your life. They wanted you to enjoy animals and life on the farm as much as they did. 

From a 1992 photo packet, here are a few photos from a day at Milliron Farm. To see more photos from this packet, click here







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.
