Description
Animals are a significant part of our lives. They can make us laugh, and sometimes cry. They can lift us up when we are down, and show us how to live life in the moment. It’s no wonder then, that when our faithful friends and companions are hurting, we hurt too. Helping those animals in need motivated Jim to become a veterinarian, and that provided him an opportunity for “Mending God’s Creatures”. Over the years, two questions Dr. Roloff was frequently asked were, “What’s it like being a veterinarian?”, and “What kind of things do you see?”. Those questions are answered as Dr. Roloff takes you, the reader, along with him on farm calls and medical cases. You will see, first hand, that the life of a veterinarian can be a real adventure. Jim Roloff grew up on a wheat and cattle ranch near Ritzville, Washington. He went on to earn a Bachelor of Science degree from Eastern Washington University, and a Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Washington State University. He entered the veterinary profession as an associate veterinarian at the Enumclaw Veterinary Clinic, Enumclaw, Washington. Two years later, Dr. Roloff and his wife, Sandy, established the Medical Lake Veterinary Clinic in Medical Lake, Washington, and provided veterinary care in that community for over thirty-five years. Dr. Roloff and Sandy continue to make Medical Lake their home following their retirement in 2011.
