Current mood:  artistic


Hi everyone!  I wanted to put my pen to paper and write a little bit about my new song "My Special Friend".  I wrote the song when I lost my own dog, Tyler, a few years back.

As most of you know, my 'day job' entails working as a Veterinary Oncologist... I spend my days treating cancer in dogs and cats.  I have always had an incredible connection with animals, and I feel blessed to have a job that enables me to provide a longer, better quality of life for those animals I am fortunate enough to treat.

Because of my affinity for animals, I donate some of my personal time to the Save U.S. Pets Foundation (http://www.SaveUSPets.org), an organization that provides funds used for the necessary medical treatment of animals when their primary care providers have no other means. 

Through collaboration with them, I decided to donate the profits from the sale of the song "My Special Friend" to this incredible organization.  Imagine an older person with nobody in their life besides their pet-- this organization can make the difference between the pet surviving or not, and extend the life of their human Family through the companionship the animal provides.  I truly love this Foundation.

At this time the song is available on a physical CD, which is available on my website at the following link:

NEW: For all of you MP3 lovers, you can now buy this song at Nimbit Music:  http://www.nimbitmusic.com/joshualouis

Enjoy listening to "My Special Friend", and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE spread the word about the song so that the Jersey-based Save U.S. Pets Foundation will be blessed with the ability to expand nationally.

P.S. The photo is the cover of the CD.

Hi everyone!  I originally joined MySpaceMusic to showcase my music.  Through this medium I also realized that people are very interested and have a lot of questions about my 'day job'...being a Veterinary Oncologist.

I recently completed an interview for a Canadian Indie site during which I discuss and answer questions about cancer in animals.  I wanted to share it with whomever might be interested in the topic. 

The only thing you have to do is click on the arrow RIGHT BEFORE the following article:
Oncology for pets with Joshua L. Lachowicz, DVM, Diplomate ACVIM , which is located under the 'Health and Wellness' section.  Here is the link:

All the best!

Current mood:  blessed
I just got back from a whirlwind trip to Virginia to speak at the Virginia Veterinary Medical Association (VVMA).  I gave three lectures regarding cancer in animals (diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, etc.) to a very warm and receptive audience of Veterinarians in my hometown of Roanoke, Virginia.
Since the local Vet School (Virginia Tech) still lacks an oncology department, it was nice to be able to share some of my knowledge with my colleagues and other veterinary students. 
Being a Hokie from Virginia Tech it was great to reconnect with former and co-workers, and of course Family while I was there.
I have to say it was a wonderful weekend because of all the elements involved, and I'm very honored that the VVMA asked me to speak at the conference.  I always enjoy connecting with people, regardless of the forum.
Thankfully I managed to complete my 7.5-hour drive without encountering any of the treacherous weather that we experienced here in the Northeast.
Until next time.... Dr. Joshua

Well - I went back into the studio this past weekend to start recording for 2009.  I'm recording a couple of my original tunes for an upcoming charity project - I'll be donating the proceeds from the sales of "My Special Friend" to the Save U.S. Pets Foundation.  Great cause for great people and their pets!!
Stay tuned - I'll let everyone know when I have some tracks to sample...
