After graduating from THE top ranked college in veterinary technology in December 2009, I immediately started my career at a large animal clinic working as the evening technologist. I love working 2nd shift, mostly because of all the patient care. Responsible for all the patients once the clinicians, residents, and students leave, I monitor the patients and provide treatments as needed. So yes, I'm like an ICU nurse. The only disadvantage is the hours. Working 4pm- 12 am pretty much guarantees lonely days while all my family and friends are at work. Also guarantees I will miss dinners and hangouts while I'm at work. Last fall to combat the loneliness feeling, I convinced Miata Guy getting a dog would be a great idea. We checked out several used dog stores over the coarse of a few months. During those few months, we test walked many different mixed breeds and we felt hopeless. Dog after dog either peed all over the visitation rooms, had diarrhea, or were on hold. Sigh. Then we meet her, The Star! We knew right away she would fit perfectly in our home. We rushed to complete the necessary paperwork after overhearing another couple's discussion about wanting adopting The Star. Had we waited one additional minute and the energetic and intelligent year old pup would have not been sticking her head out my car window a week later. The Star picked up clicker training immediately and we have had fun training her every since.
Below is a video, one of many to come, of how awesome The Star is and how we have grown to love her!
