Celebrating a Decade!

Here's to the next 10...

Happy Lagos Day, reader - for the 27th of this  month. It also just happens that this Dia do Lagos  is the 10th anniversary of the Lagos Vet Clinic. We  had our opening party on the Lagos Day feriado in  2011, before we opened the doors on the 28th. Not shy of hosting pizza puppy parties, we were  hoping to have a little bash on the 2021 October  feriado, to mark our 10 year day. But alas, E17… sorry, C19 is amongst us. This actually makes E17  the preferred option. Interesting.  


So, with COVID lingering around like a bad smell  (that can kill you), we figured we´d skip the 10- year heels-up and have a humdinger of a Legs 11  next year, instead - hopefully, without masks, etc.  Inshallah. 


Ten years ago, we were working in the clinic  which I bought and then closed, in order to open  LVC. We were running on skeleton furniture in  October - especially if you are reading this article  on the 20th of the month. By the time we were  moving into the new clinic, I had brought over the  doors, surgical sinks and table, hospital cages,  anaesthetic machines, a massive X-ray unit, an  ultrasound, consult table, and by the 20th, the  reception balcão was moved over too. Kay was  tap dancing in front of a (nicely clad) fold-up  garden table, selling Advantix and receiving  clients. And to that end, I´d like to thank---my  Straka. Yes, I am proud to say that all the doors  and sinks and all the heavy veterinary equipment,  we managed to move on our own - all in the back  of my old Straka! I loved that car.


Cheekiness aside, let me not understate the  un-enduring (though sometimes long-enduring)  work/help/support/comic relief and sensitivity of  the inimitable Kay. Anyone who knows LVC knows  of whom I refer. So, thank you again, Kay, for the  Lagos Vet Clinic actually opening and, indeed,  staying afloat for ten amazing years. Credit where  credit is due! It is, of course, also due to the great  work of many vets and nurses over the years;  you know who you are! This October, we are  also losing our nurse, Ana (Jesus). Ana has been  with us from the early years of LVC, helping the  animals and charming their owners all along the  way. We are very sad to see her go, wishing her all  the best with her business pursuits, and for life  in general! 


It is now ten years of excitement and rewards  from with working with local animals. Being  the trade, there were also many sad times  experienced. It is this mix that makes vetting very  difficult at times and wonderful at others. Our  staff have been amazing on this journey, too.  To all our clients: thanks for being loyal, fun,  emotional and real. The exciting new team at LVC  is here to keep attending to all your animal health  needs. Now with four vets and four nurses, two  grooming staff and Kay (!), we are here to help,  from the banal (or just anal) to cardiology and  airway surgery. Commitment to complete animal  health is what the LVC team is all about.


We wish you all a happy October. Next month I will  try and write something a little less self-absorbed  and a bit more animally-sort of thingy.
