Interesting day at work...
Boy was I busy at work today. I worked 5 and a half hours this morning, where I usually only work maybe 3-4 hours.
I had to help with a c-section on a dashound this morning around 9:30. It had 5 puppies at 3 weeks early (went into labor early, more then likely from one of the puppies having something wrong with it). At first, 3 were alive, and 2 were still born. Then the owner's friend (that was helping out) that was holding died, then the one I was originally holding died. Terri had me holding the last puppy and it went home with the heartbroken owner. Within about a 45 minute period, she called back telling us that it had died and she came back to the clinic and dropped the lifeless body off.
What a long, hard, exhausting day, and to think; it's not even over. I get to go back to work at 3:30 or 4. Oh yay... what will this night hold for me now???
