Sweet.

 I love my work fam...I got some thoughtful Tech swag, and an amazing German Chocolate cake.

Just what I needed, more babies. Bonus for cold, pouring rain, almost night time births. Awesome. Tommy had blue eyed triplets, then the kids found two babies that look about 2 days old. Skeet had them stashed up in the hay loft. They were clean and dry and look like some mom has been feeding them.

Busy Bee's

Penelope is such a good momma. She is looking for a new pasture, currently in milk. 4 years old, ADGA registered. The tiny boy went to a new home to be a bottle baby. His sister is likely staying here. 

Coco came over to say hi.

The nose of a hole digger. Freija's favorite thing to do.

Winning on a beautiful day…doesn’t get much better.

Practice makes perfect.

Suture practice today. This is going to take a lot more work, the Doctors make it look so easy LOL.

 

More babies arriving. He needed to be warmed. He is fighting. Kids found twins, doeling was clean and dry and doing well. Her little tiny brother was wet, dirty, cold, and pretty much unresponsive. Thankfully once warmed he was doing better.

I'm a little sad. Cheesy Poof is losing her cheesy smile. I wonder if it will come back as she matures. She is still adorable, but her name makes less sense LOL.

Sunny days.

Another win for the JV girls today. 

This baby got to enjoy some softball while waiting for her new owners to pick her up. 

Brush those teeth.

Little dog owners plan for yearly dentals. For some reason they seem to build tartar faster than larger dogs. I got to pull teeth today...another fun Tech perk. 

Back on the court.

A couple tough losses today. Hopefully tomorrow goes better. Hayden had a blast being on the court with most of her Varsity team again win or lose. 

More babies today. The last two found a home already, who needs three little girls?

Hits, and misses.

Very close win for JV today, the girls played awesome! 

Ugh the unauthorized babies have started arriving. I planned to skip this year, the buck had other ideas. Two boys today, can go ASAP on the bottle

I did this!

Licensed Techs can do a few things vet assistants can’t. Today I got to induce and intubate a patient. I also got to take care of an abscess, including suturing in a drain. Perfect first day of being a Tech!

 

I passed!

Whew. Done. VTNE passed! This has been a long tough road. I went a little slower than most...but 4 years later I have an Associates degree and my Veterinary Technician License. Whew. Such a relief to be done.

 

Play ball...any ball.

 Softball pics for Hayden. The trio no longer HAVE to do a sport once per year. Hayden participates in enough sports for all three of them. Lily channeled her free time and energy into theatre. Xander is still volunteering his time to help feed the homeless, he usually goes once per week.

The rest of his time is spent on video games LOL. Tonight Xander and Cheesy Poof having quality video game time together.  

It's Showtime!

 Today was the day Lily has been counting down to since Christmas. We hit up Seattle to see Beetlejuice. We stayed at The Paramount which was a 2 min walk from both the theatre and The Cheesecake Factory. Dinner and dessert were delicious. The Show was fantastic...absolutely hilarious. It was such a fun trip, love getting to spend some alone time with my Lily Bug.
