Dog Days of Summer
13 years ago
My summer is over, and I'm off to marching band camp. The summer was pretty good. Saw some really neat surgeries while job shadowing my vets, including a cat eye removal, ACL repair, and toe amputation, plus a massive tumor removal that had to have been bigger than my heart! I didn't do as much shadowing as I would have liked to because I got a job at the dog boarding/daycare facilities right next to the clinic :) It was a pretty easy job, but of course some of the dogs were annoying, misbehaving, or humped everything. Among my top favorites were:
Lizzie: a female border collie mix that rarely got in trouble, and liked me!
Toby: a male Shetland Sheepdog that just walked around the yard quietly, bouncing from person to person. Also, when he drank out of a bowl, he looked like he was humping. It was adorable!
Scamp: a male sheltie/collie mix that stayed out of trouble and loved to cuddle :)
Jill: a pretty female brown and tan setter mix. She was always happy just wanted to play, despite almost every male dog trying to hump her (we think something went wrong when she was spayed).
Nick: an English setter that stayed out of trouble by running around the pond when he was outside, or gently cuddling up to you when inside.
Izzie: a golden/border mix. She has the bluest eyes ever, and she never got in trouble, except when she was humping one other dog. Her face looked ridiculous when she did, though. (She, as well as a husky/shep mix named Grizzley, were the inspiration for my character Truthsayer's appearance).
If I wasn't working, I was working on my story, playing with my whippet Sherman (get home from 50 dogs just to play with another =P), or going on 6+ hour Minecraft (4 player on XBox) binges and talking about philosophy with my friends. Gonna miss intelligent conversation when I'm at college...
