The vet liked the scale!

I was worried that he might not have room for it or had a particular reason for not having one. He said he had a digital one years ago but that it kept breaking and having to be sent out to be serviced, so they eventually gave up and went back to a simple analog scale. He said he looked at them every so often. So he was thinking about where to put it (he already had ideas about building a special shelf).

It felt so good to be able to do something nice for the office and for future patients. I can't wait to see it in action. Thanks for the folks who helped me make it happen, including justgonuts, inc.
