Hey if you are an unhappy #veterinarian or vet tech and you'd like to live in #Portland, let me know. If my employer, DoveLewis, hires you after my referral I get a big bag of cash, too. :) It is a rather nice place to work in my opinion.

My sister in law came up to the cabin this week to see the fall colors. The weather was mostly cold and windy until today so she was able to get the money shot early this morning when the lake was as smooth as glass.
