A Slow Wednesday
A good friend is a vet surgeon and I have been helping him get his computers and network setup and upgraded. It is a very emotionally polarizing place to visit. I love animals (except most cats) and enjoy walking through and talking with the mostly dogs that find themselves there for reasons of distress. I tell them everything is going to be okay, that they're in good hands. Most respond with a tail wag, some with a fine whine requesting immediate release and some with a simple (yet clearly a struggle) lifting of the head. As I said it can be a very happy place and a very sad place at exactly the same moment.Every now and then I wander in and I can tell that an animal has been put down. You can see it in the faces of the vet's, the vet techs and I swear in the eyes of the other animals. I don't know how they know but I believe they do.
The coolest animal I every saw there was a hedgehog. The vet spent 20 minutes trying to find the source of a minor amount of blood on its coat. I spent at least 10 minutes trying to figure out which end was which.
Finally to not bum your day totally.....
