Howdy friends,
Ok folks, I have had a wonderful weekend. My family did some awesome stuff!! I’ll tell you about it later. Cause i don’t want to spoil the surprise for my lady friend who is recieving a letter! I did want to talk about the vet office i visited for bruno. First of all, we went into the office because bruno needed vaccines and an antibiotic shot.
So we walked into the room, which is shared with this other dog getting surgery on his leg … he had a tumor which they were taking out … i think. Everything was soaked in iodine to sterilize it, but i’m not sure if there was any autoclave or stuff like that. I looked around at the stuff that they were selling, and it was basically all what we would have sold in the states about 2 years ago. It was a different experience.
My dad here keeps telling me that in the states being a vet is a wealthy job, but here its not as glamorous, haha. Anyway, thats my story for today. I hope everyone is doing well!
Peace and love baby.
Joe
