Work Experience Day 2.

Todays work experience didn't include surgery, since it's Saturday. It was a lot more cleaning which is fine, and I spent the whole day in the boarding areas. Which means I got a lot more experience with dogs and cats than I've ever had before and I didn't have to see anything die. There were about 15-20 dogs and maybe 5 cats. I had to feed them, pick some up, walk them etc. Interesting, since I've never owned anything bigger than a bunny I can simply pick up whenever necessary. A huge Labrador pretty much took me flying when I walked him, but he was really obedient when I told him to sit and get back in the cage. A little Chihuahua type thing, so cute, didn't want to walk, wanted to be carried haha. There were Cattle dogs, Rottweilers, Malteses, Dachshunds, all kinds. I'm still trying desperately to learn all the names before my test on Tuesday. The cats were a lot calmer, and most were very sweet. I'm so tired now, but spending some time with Missy before bed, and I'll have to leave painting my toenails until tomorrow! :)
