Oh my! I finally know what I want to do.
I’ve had lots of time to think, now that pets are no longer getting sick and don’t need my medicine at the clinic. A quick snack or a bit of exercise is all that anyone needs to get feeling healthy again. I love the town of Kinzville and all of the citizens living here, but the truth is that they no longer need the services of a doctor.
This is why, after 10 years of loyal service, I have made up my mind to retire and close the clinic.
I feel rather emotional writing the words, but seeing it written down is really helping me get a sense of closure (Hoohoo! Now there’s a zinger of a pun! Have to tell that one to Fred next time I see him). There’s so much I’ve wanted to do and to see, but could never find the time to get away. I have to take this opportunity to make a change.
I’ll miss the running the clinic, but at least I’ll be able to see all my friends. I’m still having too much fun as a judge for Supermodelz, and I will certainly still welcome anyone who wants to practice being my assistant at the Employment Office.
But how to say goodbye? I think once I close the clinic on March 25th, I’ll walk around Kinzville for a few weeks so anyone who wants to say goodbye can find me. I think I’ll even prepare a few goodbye gifts for those pets nice enough to stop me on the street. THAT will put a smile on some faces…
I guess I had better start packing up my things and put up the closing sign. As sad as this moment is, I must remember: this isn’t the end for Dr. Quack, but rather a new beginning for Quincy Quack.

Okay now WHY is he leaving?????? Why did you leave on the 10th anniversary??? IT was supposed to be a fun time NOT a sad time. And plus pets still need regular checkups and all that stuff and what if pets still get sick??? HOW will we take care of them PPLLEEAASSEE DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON’T GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! :_(
Please Dr. Quack! Reconsider! We still need you! What if the formula or potion had some side effects? PLEASE DON’T LEAVE KINZVILLE!
Who’s Quincy quack?
I think Quincy is Dr. Quack’s real name. I tried to find who said that earlier, but I couldn’t find him or her. Sorry!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Dont leave us, Dr. Quack!
*What* if some pets didn’t go outside? XD
WHAT?! You can’t go! What happens if we get hurt? Hat if some pets didn’t go outside? We need you Doctor Quack! YOU HAVE FRIENDS HERE. REMEMBER THAT. Can Ms. Birdy make you stay? Please don’t go! ~Leopardheart #TheDoctorIsOut
What about pets who may get injured? What if one falls on the playground or gets hit with a ball? What if one of Goober’s experiments goes really wrong?
You know, you’re absolutely right. What if Goober really blows himself (or someone else) up in the lab & needs medical care? Any number of things can happen to cause a need for a town doctor! Accidents do happen.
I think this is sending the wrong message – pets (and people) don’t just see a doctor when they are sick. Doctors help everyone stay healthy. Maybe Dr. Quack will retire but a new doctor will come to town. Then Dr. Quack can enjoy his retirement years (maybe with Ms. Birdie?) and our pets will still have a doctor available.
What a shame. I liked listening to my pet when she was in Dr Quack’s office. I’d prefer she got sick instead of whatever programming that has been changed. I am constantly having to feed her and try to get into the clubhouse exercise room. Lots of times the clubhouse says it is closed. I go to the dr for a checkup, not only when I am sick.
I meant at the start of that, OH Y GOD PLEASE DONT LEAVE WE NEED YOU DQ!
