Delightful Pet Menagerie Newsletter – June Edition 🗞️

Greetings! Welcome to the June edition of Dr. Pet Mom’s Delightful Pet Menagerie (DPM) Newsletter. You might remember that my wonderful boy Oscar passed away last Fall.

Ten Years Later: My Passion For Animals and My PhD 👩🏾‍🎓

2023 was the year I tossed out my plethora of research materials saved for my dissertation. I was required to retain records from research papers, interview tapes, spreadsheets, questionnaire result, case studies, handouts, and scholarly journals until five years after my published dissertation.

Ten years last month, I finished my PhD. Tossing out old documents and dated research papers was a relief.

And I’m also reminded that my late rescue kitty, Oscar was there to help me through the dissertation process. As another “Thank You” to him and all my furry friends, I’m reposting my blog about my passion for animals and my PhD. Enjoy!
