Multilingual veterinarians

[cjsmith]

A coworker told me that my language ability would be useful for a veterinarian, "so you can treat French-speaking animals." I thought that was hilarious. If a parrot who speaks French comes into my clinic I'll be able to tell him he's a good bird!

I should learn dog commands in Spanish, now that I think of it. We have several Spanish-speaking clients, and it's handy to be able to tell a dog to sit.

That's true! :-) The only ones I'd want at the vet would be sit, stay, and good dog.
