Why did you become a veterinarian?
This is a frequently asked question.
I'm sure all veterinarians have been asked. Even at the study session the other day, this topic came up by chance, and it was a blast among my friends. No, to be exact, it fell. For some reason, everyone can't find a good reason to say, "As expected."  
"Somehow, before I knew it, I was in veterinary school..."
"I took the others, but they weren't good."
"I couldn't become a doctor..."
Most of my friends are like this.


Then what about me?
Well, not much.
Born and raised in the countryside of Aomori, I was raised as a second son so as not to stick to the house. On the other hand, the eldest son was brought up to inherit the family, as was the custom in the countryside (although he was not of a famous family). However, it is currently open in Sendai without taking over. I just wanted to leave home. I wanted to live alone and live with my dreams. But the dream was vague. Sometimes I wonder if I should become a teacher (I'm glad I didn't, this is for children with promising futures, really), and sometimes I wonder if I should become a doctor (I don't have that kind of brain. But I'm glad I didn't, really. Considering the current state of medical care, this is really true. I was terribly twisted in high school, which was a somewhat realistic moment of choice to decide my career path. I think so myself, so if anyone who knew me at the time would talk about it, I'm sure everyone felt that way. I couldn't find a specific goal or a career for myself.

That's how I managed to get accepted to a veterinary college, and while studying various things, all I could think about at the time was to go to Hokkaido, the land of my vague "longing".

If you go to Hokkaido, I thought it was a big animal. I had a vague idea that I would become a veterinarian who would treat big animals like cows, horses, and pigs.

However, it was around my third year at university that I began to realize that vague dreams were nothing more than mere delusions or escaping from reality without reason. Still, I didn't want to regret it.

So, when I was a university student, I went to Hokkaido for a month for practical training with large animals, and experienced the actual situation. Speculation became reality. Above all, it is not possible to examine cows, horses, and pigs, which are economic animals, to the end to cure them.

From the time I started to feel that speculation, I turned to the small animals that started to take up weight little by little. My father and brother at the time were quite against it, though. I began to think that I might be able to find out the importance of life in a pure way, and perhaps even more ideal and pure than a doctor.  
Yes, and I became a small animal veterinarian.
Is that the reason?
Nothing to brag about.
with everyone.


But that was 3 years ago.
This happened.
A phone call from mom.
Momo, a 7-year-old golden retriever that I had at my parents' house, passed away. I took her to the hospital attached to my alma mater and my younger sister's workplace at the time, and she was battling the disease for about two weeks. I was diagnosed with liver failure by an assistant professor, who was directly seeing me, and had various tests done. He left college and came home with his sister in the evening.  
Then there is no father.
I haven't seen my father since the evening.
When I looked for it, after my sister contacted me that it was no good, I was making a box to put peaches in. In the middle of the night, I finally finished making it. The older brother who raised him as an heir has moved away, and the second son has gone to Tokyo to become a veterinarian for small animals, which he had long opposed. Because Momo cheered up her family, who had no sons, like a child, like a grandchild.
Because it was Momo who was loved so much that it was too much...
I cry when I think about what my father had in mind when creating this box. Since he was a member of the family, he said that he would bury it in the corner of the field that Momo liked. I am often asked why I became a veterinarian, especially a small animal veterinarian.  
In my own way, I replied that I like dogs, but the truth is... 
At my parents' house in Aomori, I almost always have a dog, everyone loves me, and I give a lot of love to every child, but they all die early. In retrospect, it wasn't a good way to keep them. After the call, I remembered that I always felt sad. It's late, but I guess that's why I decided to become a small animal veterinarian. I can imagine my father making a box to put peaches in. He was a father who loved dogs very much. I guess that's what I was looking at from behind. My older brother, who was a veterinarian for large animals at the time and was completely against entering this world, has long since given up on small animals and is now running a splendid animal hospital in Sendai. . Perhaps, just like myself, the animals that I had loved since childhood were dying, but I couldn't just sit back and watch them. And now, partly because the golden love sent by his older brother to his younger sister has made him completely lonely, he might love her even more than our children, or even more than our mother.  
For example, the passenger seat in the car is reserved for Love, and she gets angry when her mother gets in.  


I hope you are all well.
So that the owner's love is poured into it.
Because every child, every child longs for that affection.
That's what I live for...
One life...
This is the origin of atom.  


Yes, next is the story of the origin of atom...
But it's long!
