Widely popular California veterinarian and behaviorist Sophia Yin tragically committed suicide on Sunday. *From her obituary in the Sac Bee:
It*s not uncommon for caretakers to put the emotional well being of others, including animals, first. But you can*t take care of anyone else if you don*t take care of yourself. It*s not bad to put your needs first. In fact, it empowers you to make sure you are able to care for those around you.
