As a veterinarian, on a daily basis, were covering the grounds of treating and diagnosing medical conditions and also doing any surgeries that are required, also interacting with clientele, doing a lot of preventative care, a lot of puppy kitten work as well as older patients, so theres a wide variety in what you do every day, she says.

Cline has honed in her analytical side over the years, relying more on her intuition and experience, but its not just the animals suffering to worry about.

In the case of the hamster, Cline also mentions the bond that had formed between a young girl and the pet.

Theres that kind of unconditional love that they give you, they have needs and you provide for them; you get that positive feeling from that, and theyre just total affection, total love really, but a different kind than human love, she says of the bond between animals and humans.

For her, the two are inseparable.

I guess I love people and I love pets too. Veterinary medicine gives me that combination where I can interact with people in that capacity which I just love, she explains.

Truth be told, Cline isnt keen about her semi-retirement and talking about it makes her uncomfortable. But the pandemic has dramatically changed some of what she loves most about her job.

I like to practise in a very personal way, I like to focus on the client thats in (the room) and that pet and not be pressured or stressed or time restricted, she says. Its really hard to let go completely.

So, shes letting herself down slowly.

Shell miss her co-workers and the community work through the hospital raising awareness and funding for the Farley Foundation, which provides monetary support for those who struggle to pay for veterinary care.

Occupying her time isnt going to be a challenge. Between playing saxophone in two bands the Lincoln County Band & Jimmy Marando Swing Band gardening, and weekending at the cottage, she still plans on fitting in some time at the hospital.

At home, its an empty nest with John (her three boys are now grown and moved out) but shell be seeing more of her fur children an active Jack Russell terrier rescue and a former stray kitten, Tiger, who is now a grown 17-year-old.

While one door is slowly closing, another remains open in Clines heart should another animal be in need of the care and compassion that has, for so long, defined her work.

Its just about being able to serve, being able to provide. I think I really like to see a problem and solve the problem, she says.

Its just who she is.
