People already think I'm odd enough...that sounds like a good idea. Kinda sneaky-like...I like it.

Do you do that?

Training another new employee. People, if you don't know if you can handle a euthanasia, then just say so. Don't witness one and then quit the next day.0

I was there when Sandi was euthanized the whole time. I couldn't have left her there alone. She needed a kind friendly face. All animals do.
If I were a vet tech, that is what I would do. Ease them along with a kind smile to let them know that all will be well on the other side and that someday they will be met again by those they love.
Note: I miss Sandi. She was such a good dog.

Did she think her entire job was going to be petting puppies and playing with kittens?sufferlandrian wrote: »Training another new employee. People, if you don't know if you can handle a euthanasia, then just say so. Don't witness one and then quit the next day.
I understand euthanasia is hard, I had to put my boxer down a couple years agi, and it was really hard, but surely she has to realize the job isn't all fun and games?

So I discovered today that PlayBuzz has an app. Because I didn't already have enough things on my phone to waste time and/or kill brain cells.0

Is in-home euthunasia a thing? Our cat Sonny is getting old and of all the pets I've had...he hates being transported and being anywhere but home more than any other cat. If I end up having to euthanize him, I'd really appreciate that option...
I worked at a vet office when I was younger. I had to hold a dog once while he was being euthanized. It WAS sad but the dog was old and suffering. The hardest part was seeing the owner hand him over. Full grown man in tears over his buddy. I was raised on a farm though sooo....animals dying/being killed was part of life from an early age...0 -

Started off my "Monday" with some a-hole who booked two room (that were the lowest price) and then showing up demanding something else for the same price saying WE changed his reservations. No, cheap azz...you just didn't want to pay the FIVE dollar difference and now you are acting like a complete tool bag. Fun!0

There are a fair number of mobile vets that will come do a euthanasia at your home. Most vets will not go to your house anymore because of the liability and complications that can occur.
And if you worked for a vet when you were younger, why aren't you here working for me. I've been trying to find good staff that won't quit after the first couple of euthanasias.0 -
It's been a nice change of pace the last few days with mostly wonderful clients. The folks traveling from Florida were great tonight. I can overlook that she had to go to the bathroom and vomit when she saw the X-Rays of her dog. At least she went to the bathroom to do it. Dogs doing fine by the way. Fractured elbow. 0

Huh, interesting.
I'm not a licensed tech.
I've looked into it many times but the closest school would give me a 45-60 minute commute to and from school five days a week...through Midwest winters (when commute would be closer to two hours). Ugh. If I had a tech program in my city...I know that is what I'd be doing by now... I love animals, I love science, I can deal with death, gross stuff, etc...

Maybe you should look in to it. It's only two years. You would be good at it. 0

Maybe some day. The only thing I can finish at this point in my life is a sandwich. But I appreciate the vote of confidence.

Ok question? I was chatting with a guy on here for 2-3 days, he was flirting with me quite a bit. After a couple days of chatting, I asked him his last name. He seemed to think that was weird, and basically stopped talking to me. I know it's really hard to catch tone, etc with text. But was it really that weird for me to ask him that?0

Story of my life right there. Couldn't even finish my workout. I might have to give up drinking alcohol at the pool with my friend Alycia. It seems to take a big toll on my body for the next few days afterwards.
It certainly doesn't help that my mother is home for the weekend and informed me RIGHT BEFORE I LEFT FOR WORK that my cousin Sheri isn't going to make it. This time the cancer is going to take her, third time is the charm I guess. Have we developed a 'I Hate Cancer' chant for team Wild @$$ Cats? It should be a cross-species thing.
Between gaining 5 pounds, my cousin dying, and feeling icky because of drinking, I am not in for a good day.0 -

I don't think so. Maybe he has a criminal record and doesn't want you to search him and learn about it before he feels comfortable telling you?
Maybe he is married with 2.5 kids and doesn't want you to know?
Maybe he thought it was just harmless flirting and now that you want to take it further he is terrified?
Some people are strictly 'keyboard flirts' just as some people are 'keyboard warriors.'

I say keyboard flirt, for sure.
I've gained a few lbs too. Over the summer I didn't ride my bike and lately I've been Snacky Snackerson. But the tot is in school now so I'm back on the bike...no worries...until winter.
Today I rode past her school and she was out at recess! Luckily she didn't see me spying on her! 0 -

I'm trying to get into running like I did in high school. Nothing longer than a 5k for sure but this humidity and heat SUCKS. I want to take Tessa because she LOVES to go but it's too hot by the time I get off work at 7AM!
Poor Tessa is solid black and ends up half dead at the end of the first mile. Of course I'm one to talk, I'm half dead at the end of the first half mile. But I can keep pushing myself, I can't keep pushing Tessa.0 -
Proud moment for us as parents:
Our child wants to take a sack lunch to school so she can eat healthy food. We gave her the option to try school lunch for 3 days this week and she could decide. She didn't like the meatball sandwich, walking taco and Bosco stick with sides of canned fruit that she was served. She wants salad, veggies and hummus, fresh fruit in her lunch. She is such a good eater! Don't get me wrong, the kid loves candy and cookies like any other but for MEALS, she wants the good stuff. Yay!
Side note: Why the eff are these kids eating TWO snacks a day plus lunch while they are there?? I was already bothered by her getting one snack in preschool now TWO?! Ok, honestly...I know why. A LOT of kids in our city struggle with poverty...so much so that the whole school district gets free breakfast and lunch this year. Some kids really NEED those snacks because they don't get what they need at home, necessarily. What about the other kids? There are also some upscale neighborhoods, middle class neighborhoods (us)...those kids attend the same school. I know you can't single out the poor kids and give them snacks and not the other kids but we've worked hard to get our daughter to NOT snack, especially on the crap they serve (goldfish, animal crackers, etc). Those aren't nutritious snacks anyway for kids who need extra nutrition! I guess it is what it is. I did find out that the parents are responsible for bringing the day's snacks on whatever day they are assigned. Sooo....can I bring hummus and veggies, fresh sliced mango? Those are my kid's favorite snacks. (This from a kid that is confused when she eats tuna salad without capers and always requests Indian restaurants when asked what she wants for dinner...)
But I hope she does try the rectangle pizza that soooo many of us fondly recall!!! That is a childhood classic!0
