Dr. Don DeForge Silver Sands Veterinary

Starting with Love All is Possible! Dr. Don DeForge on the words of Leo Buscaglia Why do humans and animals have to grow up.  When young life is simple.  Life at that time is about "us" and not about "me"!  As we grow older, we become entangled in ego and self-importance and forget all of the important parts of life.  We replace the word "love" with "self-pleasures" and ignore all of the important wonders of "us"!  The "ME WORLD" has a lot to do with age but it also has to do with the values that we were "taught" or "non-taught" during that time of growth.  Others feel that the values that we were "taught" become "untaught" as we develop partnerships or relationships with lovers who state we are wrong and they are right.   As we grow our relationships are very important.   They should be exciting; energy filled; and  saturated with adventure!   Unfortun...

For the Love of Mischievous Cats Part One Don DeForge, VMD [Silver Sands Veterinary] Happy St. Patrick's Day from Boo and all Mischievious Cats who wear the GREEN! A Tribute to Mischievous Cats! “A cat has absolute emotional honesty: human beings, for one reason or another, may hide their feelings, but a cat does not.” — Ernest Hemingway “Cats know how to obtain food without labor, shelter without confinement, and love without penalties.” — Walter Lionel George “Cats possess so many of the same qualities as some people that it is often hard to tell the people and the cats apart.” — P.J.

I JUST CAN'T DO IT! Dr. Don DeForge-Silver Sands Veterinary I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. Michael Jordan “Each of us has two distinct choices to make about what we will do with our lives. The first choice we can make is to be less than we have the capacity to be. To earn less. To have less. To read less and think less. To try less and discipline ourselves less. These are the choices that lead to an empty life. These are the choices that, once made, lead to a life of constant apprehension instead of a life of wondrous anticipation And the second choice? To do it all! To become all that we can possibly be. To read every book that we possibly can. To earn as much as we possibly can. To give and share as much as we possibly can. To strive and produce a...

Mickey Mouse Club-Forgotten but Never Lost Silver Sands Veterinary "I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing – that it was all started by a mouse." —Walt Disney,  Disneyland ; October 27, 1954 In 2015, we celebrate the 60th year since the Mickey Mouse Club of Walt Disney aired on national television.  Young people of today have no idea what the Mickey Mouse Club meant to their peers from 1955 to 1996 when the show ended its long run.  Mickey Mouse Clue was Sesame Street--- it was Mr. Rogers--and much more! The result was a  variety show  for children, with such regular features as a newsreel, a cartoon, and a serial, as well as music, talent and comedy segments. One unique feature of the show was the Mouseketeer Roll Call, in which many (but not all) of that day's line-up of regular performers would introduce themselves by name to the television audience. In the serials, teens faced challenges in everyday situations, often overcome by...
