Treated a horse today with quite a terrible little mouth. Had lacerations almost down to the bone on the gumline. Which was what caused her problems when she was in harnass. The ownr had complained about her pulling her head around to the left when racing which is obviously bad because you need them to be straight.
So after diagnosing that I fixed her teeth right up which comes down to 65 dollars worth of treatment AND then Peter gave me the money for it! HUZZAH!
And then he made me shout lunch... so it's almost all gone, so I was foiled, but still hae 20 bucks left in my pooocket. Which is sweet.
Also getting the tiny-torch-of-win(tm) next week somewhere. Little torch is so awesome and perfect for work... *glee*
Other than that nothing much happened, I'm doing okay filing teeth, have yet to extract anything and aparently we won't get to do much of that until the exam which strieks me as weird O_o; And slightly petrifying. On the other hand not to toot my own horn, but I'm the only one in our little group right now who can actually accurately file the horse' teeth.
Amy is still a bit lost and doesn't know what she's doing half the time. Andrew is still all over te place and a right mess at times (although he's arrogant enough to think he doesn't do shitty jobs... I chose to hold my tongue at that point in the conversation but I think the abrupt silence in the car spoke for itself). So I'm conident I can file a horse' teeth and od a good job, especially after today doing a 16 year old shetland with rock hard teeth and STILL being able to do it. I'm sort of hoping tomorrow's horse is ooold like ... in his twenties! And that us students get to do him and then I'll call dibs and see how I go on it.
Tomorrow we do one horse and then go to this sanctuary park where they have PLATYPUS!!... Platypie? I don't know the plural for platipus!
Anyway, should be fun ^__^
7:30 start though x__X
