The blog I liked best out of; www.Theuniversityofchicagothelawschoolfacultyblog.org and www.doggedblog.org was the dogged blog because it was all about veterinarians and how there is god and bad vets. like how they are intelligant and very well trained. Its important to me because I’ve wanted to become a vet sense the fifth grade. They have succes storys about all the animals they saved, and how exciting their careers are and how happy they are. There is very bad vets to who are just doing it for the money they have a saying posted on the blog: Never attribute to malice that which can be adequtley explained by stupidity. they call the bad vets: were simply not the brightest bulb on the string.
