Is it possible to have fun at a spay/neuter clinic, and still be serious? Of course! Today's first "patient" on the surgery table was a bit sparse on flesh and anemic to boot, but happily it didn't use up much anesthesia or oxygen. But no need to get grossed out folks.....it wasn't real. Today was close enough to Halloween to bring out the decorations and have fun with the spooky dog skeleton. And being battery operated, it was able to howl with delight at getting spayed for free. Ah, just a bit of veterinary comic relief.....
Introducing Jessie, my new dog. I recently adopted her and brought her along today to get her spayed. She's pretty zonky still when I took this photo. She turning out to be a good dog on the farm, but more about her later in another post......
This handsome boy (note the blue information label on his ankle...blue for boys 😉) is awake already. The guys are quicker to neuter, thus they wake up a lot faster than the girls.....
This girl (pink anklet, of course) is slowly and quietly recovering under a series of warm baby blankets....
Although the dogs are the center attraction, the volunteers are the real stars of this show. And while we are here for the dogs, that wonderful lunchtime spread surely isn't something to sneeze at. They sure feed us well here......
Ya, I'm still volunteering at the dog and cat clinics. This week it's dogs. Next week, it will be cats. By the way, I'd like to mention that one of the community garden volunteers worked today's clinic. Thanks Missy!!!!
