Long Live The King - Rocky

Long Live The King –

This here is Rocky in the picture. I rescued him on November 19th, 2015 in Toa Baja, Puerto Rico. He’s my little big guy. He’s little in the sense that when I found him he was only one year old. He’s big in the sense that when we play around, I usually end up with black and blue marks on my body, lol.

I guess it’s true with they say, “Love Hurts”

But folks, it’s the good kind of pain and worth every bit of it. I love Rocky like a crazy potato too. He went from a homeless, frail, sick and tick infested stray dog, to the king of the hill. He’s so regal just like a king. Isn’t he?

Day 1312 here in Puerto Rico. Day 1001 since I rescued Rocky, and day 461 since I rescued Lucky.

In 1933, the United States was reeling. It was the fourth year of the Great Depression. Unemployment stood at 25%. A new and untested president had recently moved into the White House. It was a turbulent and uncertain time.

But amazingly, during America’s darkest hours, seven leaders of the veterinary profession came together to form one of the country’s greatest organizations: the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA). It was and remains the only institution that accredits companion veterinary hospitals in the U.S. and Canada. It was built on the premise that pets deserve nothing less than the very best veterinary care.

Fast-forward to 2018. In 85 years, the country has changed in ways that were unimaginable in 1933. But AAHA has endured. Thrived. And today it is the most esteemed veterinary association in the country.
