For a while I was the only intern there. And for a while not many people came in. So Jenna showed me how to work the computer system and where some things were. There was the most adorable little chihuahua there all day that day. His name was Dinky. Whenever I had free time, I got Dinky out of his cage and cuddled with him. He was there for a dental. While he was anesthetized for his dental I clipped his nails, and that was the first time I'd ever done that. I only hit like two quicks (the vein in his nails).
Also, Kristin, another lady who works there, randomly came in with a bucket full of tiny kittens. It was literally the cutest thing ever. She said they were going to be farm cats so we shouldn't love on them too much, but we just couldn't help it.
Another intern came in at around 11 because she was supposed to give a dog a bath. Her name is Taylor, and she's pretty funny and very talkative. The dog was a great dane, so it was huge, so I went to help her with the bath. I had never bathed a dog other than my own before, and especially not one so gigantic.
Jenna taught Taylor and me how to properly draw vaccines. I stuck myself with a needle once, but they said everyone does that. I've got it down now, and drawing vaccines is easy.
After that it was a slow day, and the last appointment was a cat to get euthanized. I didn't really want to see that so I went home.
