This post is so funny – I think the one that got me giggling (in the middle of class no less….) was this one: #10: If a woman didn’t like a man she would scream and kick him. #11: If she did like him she would scream, kick him and then pee on the floor. more
Teamwork is less work

When started vet school, one thing that was reiterated over and over and over was that we would NOT be able to do this on our own. “This” encompassed our lectures, our labs, working in the hospital in our 4th year, and practicing as a veterinarian after graduation. A good friend of mine, a retired […] more
A look back

I’m compiling posts from my blog for a project, starting with the first season that I blogged – 2009. I’m 3 months into the 2009 season and I’m blown away by the sheer number of exciting things that happened. It’s like a fictional novel. I buy a new truck, go on rides, do my first […] more

The tendon post

It’s the post you’ve been waiting for…….TENDONS. How they condition (or not), how they heal (or not), and what you can do to prevent injury (or, unforunately…..not).
