Willows Work

I think I have said this before but after my week at work I will risk repeating myself. Not all animals that misbehave, were abused. Not every animal that shakes is cold. Whether or not a nose is cold of hot, wet or dry it doesn't mean any thing. Just because the farm cats drank milk for years does... Sign in to see full entry.

The month of Dec. was rough at work, full of sadness. Loss of pets is a rough thing under most cirumstances but during the holidays it is even harder I think. I think I told you all in an earlier Blog about a woman who really has nothing else in her life but her cats. Well she was dealt another blow... Sign in to see full entry.

Work is slow. It usually is during the holiday season. It gives us all a chance to catch up on cleaning and paper work. We get our Christmas party on Tuesday night. Doctor is taking us all to Lock Stock and Barrel for dinner. Prime rib, I can hardly wait. Sign in to see full entry.

I never fail to be amazed at people. You would think I would reach a point where nothing would surprize me. Today we had a lady call in and say that her dog had a cut. The front desk tried to get her to bring it in as a drop off. They explained that the wound would probably need to be stitched up... Sign in to see full entry.

Well as you would know it this was a quite day. I did get to go over some things with my new trainee. Really it is good I guess to start slow. She is a fast learner and has had some experience with x-rays. She worked with a dentist before so at least it is not all foreign to her. The toughest thing... Sign in to see full entry.

Tomorrow I get to start training a new tech. assistant. She works part time for us as a receptionist. She is young, calm, and learns quick. With the other tech being pregnate and the only back up is pregnant as well I need some help. The summer will be hell with everyone out having babies. The tech.... Sign in to see full entry.
