My first surgical procedure!

Today at work I got to do something way cool! The vet I was working with has a relative with a dog that had a small pea sized growth on its' back. The vet let me remove the growth! I put on sterile gloves and got the instruments all ready. I used a scalpel and some surgical scissors and, under his supervision and instruction, I got to do the procedure. Way cool! The vet also taught me how to do sutures and he let me try one but since it was his family members' dog he wanted to make sure it looked good so he did them and I watched. I was so excited and kinda nervous when he said I could do it and I'm so glad I had that opportunity!!

Going Back to School...

I am going to be moving back to Utah State this weekend. I am excited to start my Senior year! This semester I'll be taking Microbiology, Histology, and Genetics. I am really excited to have a break from Chemistry for a semester. I am still in the process of applying to vet school with my application due Oct. 2.

On a different note, my mom and Morgan went to girls camp last week and they had a good time. The theme for camp was "To eternity and beyond" and they incorporated different superheroes into camp. Morgan was a junior camp leader and her group was Spiderman. She borrowed a way cool costume for a skit that they did and the pictures were really funny so I decided to post them. SpiderMo!

Camping Fun

The summer is coming to a close. We decided to go camping last weekend spur of the moment since there won't be many more good weekends to go for a while. The weather was nice and although it was a bit cooler than last time it was still warm. We went on two longer 4-wheeler rides and grandma was even able to go along on one. She had a good time and is glad that she went.









Morgan and I made a project of decorating the cement with sidewalk chalk. We were going to try and fill an entire section with random drawings. We didn't finish it but what we did get done looked neat.









School starts on August 24. I'm excited to start my Senior year but I have really enjoyed not worrying about studying and tests. I am still in the process of applying to vet school and still unsure of where to apply. Colorado State, Washington State, and Oregon State are definite possibilities and I am also considering University of Florida, University of Minnesota, and Western University in California.

Also, I got 2 new pet frogs and 1 snail. Fred and George are the frogs' names. The tank is is called a Frog-O-Sphere and it is a self contained ecosystem that you only have to clean twice a year. The plant provides oxygen and the snail cleans up the tank. You only feed the frogs twice a week. They are pretty cool and fun to watch.
