Thank you Doc, for the memories!
This is late but all the same heartfelt. We were stunned to hear of Doc Reed's passing. He, more than once calmed my fears when one of my critters had a problem. Always gentle and caring, we will never find anyone to take his place. It's tough to bear. God be with his family.
