Donkeys mutilated my partner and I’s first Christmas tree.

Hi all,

I am distraught. Over a plant.

We bought this Norfolk pine as a silly little Charlie Brown Christmas tree a couple of years ago. It survived a year of pure neglect while I was finishing my internship. It was finally thriving and so beautiful and our neighbors donkeys ate it down to the stem. I read that the new growth comes from the top of the plant (which they ate) and tips or mature branches (which they ate). Is this plant doomed? I looked into propagating as well which seems difficult and also would require a healthy tip of a mature branch.

Burnt out veterinarian looking for career change

Hello,

As the title of this post says I am a veterinarian, specifically and equine veterinarian, currently contemplating my life choices. For a number of reasons both personal and professional I feel very burnt out in my career. I feel a deep need to make a career shift but am struggling with the direction. Starting my own business or remote options are attractive to me however I do have a large amount of student debt without the financial safety net of being able to take time off without income. My partner’s job may take us to new locations so something I could operate remotely or from home would be ideal.

I have an animal science and DVM degree. Most of my veterinary experience involves horses and not so much small animals. I enjoy many aspects of equine medicine and husbandry but am generally burnt out of traditional clinical practice.

Other interests I have - gardening, cooking, homesteading type hobbies, home design, crafting, general animal husbandry. I have always had a dream of having a working farm or ranch but do not currently own property nor am I in the financial situation to make that happen right now.

I don’t necessarily feel like I need to leave the veterinary or equine industry altogether but am open to all ideas.
