Third Week of June

Good Morning,

After spending the night coughing, I went to work early morning for the 8am to 12pm shift. I took the cage of two female rats with me to be given away. A gal name Heather wanted to have them. I replaced the dirty smelly bedding into clean bedding, and filled up the bowl with cat food. I cannot keep them because I'm allergic to the rats now. They make my skin itches whenever I touch or hold them. I was asked to go home and return to work at 3pm in the afternoon. Delightfully I hurried home. It was only 10 minutes drive from the apartment.

Animal Tales? Well, I accidentally let a dog out when I tried to enter the backyard, carrying in the rat cage. It was pretty scary to see an ugly fur-ball dog looks like he's going to run through the busy road. Luckily a worker showed up in time to catch the dog before he decided to run off farther. Riverwoods Pet Hospital sits right on University Ave street which is partly like highway than a regular road. I'm sorry that I had to say ugly because it looks like a pomeranian but it's very fat and furry which couldn't be a pomernian. I couldn't figure out what breed is it yet. I suppose I'll ask, if I remember to when I return to work in the afternoon.

The other day, a new boarding dog that just came in. I let him out to clean up the kennel. There's spill of water and food. The dog Matt acted like a scary-cat, with tail tugged tightly under between his legs. I crouch down low, trying to pet him, but he bare his teeth and nipped. I set myself in a way, he won't be crawling around too much. I stayed on the floor, holding my hand out to him. He still nipped whenever I tried to pet him. When I decided that I had enough, I just stood up and cornered him tighter. I press forward till he's standing low with his back at the corner, his paws hanging up. I carefully pet his head, and he doesn't nibbed. Then I let him go from the corner and he behaved better. It took him a while to get use to other dogs and the routine then he's a happy camper now. I just basically show him that I wouldn't let him to behave like that.

You should have seen how the drawf rabbit and tiny Yorkie played together on the floor inside. Sometimes the workers let two drawf rabbits out of cage to let them hop around. It's fun to see their cute white tail bounce when they hop around. They're very soft and light when held. How can you resist not having rabbit for a pet!

Two days ago, I was asked to hold an old dog while the nurse slowly take the drain out of the bloated belly. It's rather gross for me to think and see something being slowly drain out of the stomach, especially with the fact I had experiences to do with my stomach. *shuddered* And that day I couldn't leave work till 7pm because of the late doctor appointment. I had to wait for that last appointment to be over then I can sweep and mop the doctor office room. Though I shouldn't complain because I would get extra money for staying another hour. I was trying to leave work as early as I can because Heather Spreen happened to be in Provo that night. I wanted to visited her as much as I can before she had to leave. I got to visited her for about an hour or less. At least it's better than not at all. I missed her. I'm looking forward to see her again in August, when she returned to Utah from Washington.

That's all I can think of so far this week from Riverwoods Pet Hospital. Perhaps soon or later, I can set up photos of the animals from Riverwoods onto this Blog if I bring the digital camera with me. Or it would have been a lot easier if I could upgrade my Sidekick iD into a newer Sidekick that have camera....
