another busy day. got up this morning. had my usual breakfast with dad- bowl of cereal,  glass of oj and a couple sips of coffee. dad decided that today is hair cut day. i am getting a bit shaggy. so he told mom and off we went. he walked and i rode my bike.
i got my hair cut. the guys at the shop thought my bangs were hysterical. there was some squirming but the new guy managed to trim me up just fine.
mom was supposed to come and pick us up but i talked dad into letting me ride the bike back home too.
got home and there was a key on our door step. it was an old fashion key. i picked it up and tucked it under our door matt. dad and i went inside. mom was there doing stuff. dad told her that she dropped one of her keys. she went and got it from under the matt. see, safe and sound.
it's saturday. mom and i drove dad to work. bye dad, see you later. mom and i went off for today's adventure. today we went to vet school. http://www.vetmed.ufl.edu/2013/02/11/cvm-open-house-2/
we saw all kinds of crazy stuff. the big thing we saw was the horse using a treadmill. that was crazy. they loaded this horse onto a giant sized treadmill and turned it on. then they upped the speed and the horse ran in place! it was noisy. i was right there in the front by his head. the treadmill even raised up and made the horse run up hill. the whole time the horse was dropping poops out the other end and it was splatting on the treadmill and flying back at people feet. mom and i thought that was funny.
the horse ran for a few minutes and then the guy slowed the machine down and turned it off. he unlatched the horse and started leading him away. the horse knocked this big fan over and all hell broke loose. the horses in the room all screamed. the handlers shouted. people went running out of the way. there was lots of clattering. mom shoved me behind her and against the treadmill bar. i was totally safe if anything really bad happened. but it didn't. the horses were under control. we left the room and went to look at other things. i saw a cow with a huge plastic opening sewed into his side. he was a gut bacteria donor. how odd. i saw a room full of sleeping cats. the sign said they were all feline blood donors. i saw a pregnant horse having an ultrasound. i looked on the monitor and saw the baby horse inside. kind of gross but cool. there were loads of cats, dogs and rabbit all looking for new homes. i saw some dogs running on an agility course. they looked like they were having fun in the plastic tunnels. i know i like plastic tunnels too.
mom and i went to the teddy bear clinic and i helped sew up an injured teddy bear. i had to wear a mask and hair net just like real surgeons. i touched all the different animals. the rabbits were very soft. we saw all the different operating rooms and loads of different equipment that the vets use to help sick animals feel better. i even saw footage of a parrot getting a barium trace! what a world. the last thing i did was help the rescue team hoist a horse out of a sink hole. i got to pull on ropes and the wooden horse lifted up and dangled around in mid air. it was hard work. wooden horse or not, it was big and heavy.
before we left mom and i stopped at the snack stand and she ordered a hot dog. we sat in the courtyard and mom ate the hot dog. she said if i tried it, i could get my own chocolate ice cream cone. i thought about it for a minute and said- ok fine. so she cut me off 2 small tastes. i ate them both. it was actually kind of good. i had a couple fries too. they were very tasty. when the hot dog and fries were done mom and i went over and i ordered a chocolate ice cream from the ice cream man. i dove right in. oh man it was awesome. i got ice cream up my nose but i didn't care. it was delicious. mom didn't care because the ice cream was free. best day ever! or at least since last saturday.
