Well it would be great to be in the AC 'cept mine doesn't work....

We aren't exactly affected by the fires (our air quality is dangerous for sensitive folks with all the ash in our air from them though), but I hear Oroville was having issues. I do have a grandma up that way so Will be trying to get ahold of her here soon.

I forgot that I got barfed on at work today... Like all over my shoes and pants. Wore socks and rolled up the legs of my scrubs to contain some of the mess until I could change. Someone fed their (very large) puppy alot before a scheduled surgery and she was vomiting during recovery. Dangerous for the animal, not really fun for us. After I changed my scrubs and a coworker cleaned my shoes I realized i should have had someone take a pic of me in my "Casual Tuesday" apparel, socks that don't match, pant legs rolled up and barf all over.... That is what your Veterinary Technicians deal with to keep your pet safe when you don't listen to our reminders to 'please not feed your pet before surgery'. If you aren't aware, the vomit can get into the airway and cause pneumonia and other complications, so I had to hike her into the air, bottoms up to use gravity to help keep her airway clear while coworkers rushed to clean out her mouth, that is how I ended up covered in all of it. During the procedure, she had an ET tube to protect her airway, but we have to always be on watch for complications like this, with or without the tube.

'please not feed your pet before surgery'

Perhaps you are being to "friendly" with "please". Change it to "DO NOT !!!!!! feed your pet after 11 PM the night before surgery. You can feed them after they return home following surgery". I guess some people figure "before" means just before you toss them in the car or something.

Geez, first the dam spillway rips to shreds and now fires. Don't get a break up there do you??

@Bruce , I am actually much firmer and say 'No food after 8 pm the night before, water is Ok, Drop off is this time... Pick up is this time... and the best number to reach you is.... etc. '

@Mike CHS , I am just grateful it wasn't something worse! Dog food barf isn't all that bad. We have things like anal glands and explosive parvo diarrhea around this joint..... imagining the possibilities, I know I got off lucky! Always something to be grateful for if you really try!!!

@goatgurl , Thanks for the compliments on our little girls... I know I am going to regret selling Fireball, but if she shows well for the little lady that bought her (and hopefully she will send pics and results) then its all good.

OK, crazy hectic week at work... the big boss is on vacation, so that is a little stressful already. The relief vet does things a little bit differently so we are helping him figure out some of our general protocols as well as having to adjust to some of his. ... the computers have been going down every afternoon... I got bit by a dog today on the finger, exactly a month from the bite to the face!
What a week!!! Glad it is over!

I had a good, if not very productive weekend... started out Saturday with a headache so I decided to take it easy. Did a little cleaning and then spent Sunday hanging out with my girlfriend and her 3 year old playing playdough and catching up. All in all a great weekend.

I have plans this next weekend to visit grandma in between my CE. I'll stay with her and drive to the classes every day.

Got my CE done!

.....but I got sent to bed by my grandma at 9:00!!! I felt like a little kid! But when grandma sends you to bed, you go! (Hey, you wanna know a secret???? I turned the sound off on my phone and I texted in the dark, in bed so I wouldn't get caught... Shhh! Don't tell grandma! She thinks I was sleeping!)
I delivered 3 goats and I arranged to trade another.... and I am supposed to be getting puppies!!! One is for my kid and one will hopefully be for grandma... to get her back for making me go to bed early!... No! I am joking!!! But I think she might really like one, so I am taking the other pup for her.

I got to spend a couple days visiting with my boys!!!

Me n my boys
