Mule Fun

So my first week at the large animal campus has been great!! I have gotten to palpate cows and mares for pregnancy, place urinary catheters in two horses, do eye exams on horses and goats, do ultrasound pregnancy checks on pigs, and do necropsies on chickens and watched one on a horse.  Busy week! There is some lecture time mixed in there, but at least it's not 8 hours a day staring at powerpoint presentations! To top it all off, Kenny brought Vinnie to work with him so that I could watch her all day - what a doll, I just love spending time with her! Mom has those pictures, I'm sure it won't be long until they are posted!

Next week will be nice, too, because I only have class on Thursday from 8-10, then I have Friday off and Monday off for MLK.  Nearly a five-day weekend!!  I might go into the city on Monday to help with a vaccination clinic for people who can't afford care, but that depends on if the Steelers win today and therefore play in the AFC Championship game next Sunday.  Does that make me a bad person?!?! 

Speaking of football.. last week we had a really good time! It was the second Browns vs. Steelers game of the year, which is always a big deal since Greg is a Browns fan. Even though the Browns got a beating, he is such a good sport and still all smiles (as you can see below).  Afterwards, all of us plus Molly came back to my parents new house and did "hot laps" - laps around my parent's 30 acres on their mule.  It was chilly, so we all bundled up and had a really good time. Maybe too much of a good time!

Greg being adorable!


Here is the camo family!

Kenny being a goofball after we did mule slides (it was muddy). I told you we had too much fun!
