A Heartfelt Goodbye to Mount Pleasant Vet ❤️🐾
As my time at Mount Pleasant Vet comes to an end on 17 October, I find myself struggling to put into words just how much this place has meant to me over the past seven years.
Seven years is a long time. It is years filled with memories, laughter, tears, difficult days, beautiful moments, long days, unexpected challenges, and countless animals who have touched my heart in ways I will never forget.
When I look back, I realise that Mount Pleasant Vet was never just a workplace to me. It became a very special part of my life.
Together, we have cared for so many animals. We have helped those who were sick, injured, frightened and sometimes forgotten. We have celebrated the animals who got better and shared in the heartbreak when we couldn't save them. We have held paws, comforted worried owners, dried tears, celebrated happy endings and stood beside people during some of their most difficult moments.
Every animal that came through those doors left a little piece of its story behind. And I feel incredibly privileged to have been part of so many of those stories.
To the owners and clients, thank you for trusting us with your beloved family members. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your animals' lives, even if sometimes it was only for a short while. The love people have for their animals is something very special, and being able to witness that love every day has been one of the greatest gifts of this job.
To Mount Pleasant Vet, thank you for everything you have done for me over these seven years. Thank you for the opportunities, the lessons, the patience, the support and the experiences that have helped shape the person I am today.
Thank you for being there for me through the good times and the bad times. There were days when life was difficult, and somehow this place still gave me a reason to get up, come to work and carry on. There were days filled with laughter and days filled with tears, but through all of them, Mount Pleasant Vet became a chapter of my life that I will always carry with me.
I have grown here — not only in my work, but as a person.
I have learned things that cannot be taught in a classroom: compassion, patience, resilience, empathy, responsibility and the importance of simply being there for someone when they need you.
Leaving after seven years is not easy. There is excitement for what lies ahead, but there is also sadness in saying goodbye to something that has been such a big part of my life.
I will miss the animals.
I will miss the familiar faces.
I will miss the crazy days, the laughs, the stories and even some of the chaos.
Most of all, I will miss the people and the memories that made these seven years what they were.
Although I am closing this chapter, I don't believe that saying goodbye means forgetting. Mount Pleasant Vet will always be a part of my story.
I leave with a grateful heart — grateful for every animal I was lucky enough to meet, every owner I was able to help, every lesson I learned, every friendship I made, and every memory that I will take with me.
Thank you for seven years.
Thank you for believing in me.
Thank you for standing by me.
And thank you for allowing me to be part of something that, at the end of the day, was always about one thing — helping animals and the people who love them.
I hope that wherever life takes me next, I will always carry a little piece of Mount Pleasant Vet with me.
Thank you for everything.
It has been an honour.
It has been a journey.
And it will always be a chapter of my life that I am grateful for.
With all my love and gratitude,
Andrea ❤️🐾
