long time no....blog?...

well, it took a few days for there to be anything good to talk about, but heres what i got!

Sunday was fairly low key,
I went for breakfast with one of the techs, after which we went to the local Walmart :) I was pretty tired because i had stayed up until 1 am watching episodes of greys anatomy....so she dropped me back off at the clinic and i slept for a bit before i woke up to watch some more greys anatomy...... i know i know...BUT ITS ADDICTIVE!
The head tech/ my supervisor came around 545 to pick me up. I was invited to her place for dinner. It was SUPER delicious! Potatoes, yorkshire puddings and ALBERTA roast beef!

Monday was also very low key at the clinic. The owners of a big grey mare came to take her home, leaving TP ( too perfect) [one of our vets horses] by himself. so it made for quick TPRs and and only one pile of manure to pick up as opposed to 10! Made my day!

Last night I went to my cousin Leannes for dinner! ALSO VERY GOOD! We had a warm front come in making it a whopping +2' C yesterday!! So Leannes husband Shane pulled out the BBQ and did up some ALBERTA steaks! YUMMM We also had some potatoes, sweet potatoes and veggies!

This morning, a foal came in to have a pin taken out of its leg, and then I went on the road with Gord, and we went to this big Thoroughbred farm and flushed a mare. The rest of the afternoon was VERY dry. Nothing at all going on. Of course that is until 5:37....when a guy called to say that his horse was colicing really bad and is now on his way, from whereever he is to bring his horse here....and of course, wouldnt you know that Im on call....

I THINK I may have already mentioned this, but Alberta has this thing called "family day"....so I get next monday off :) So Im making arrangements to go south to medicine hat to visit my cousin for a few days. Hopefully everything will work out, because Id really like to get to see her!!

ok , well , better go and throw a pair of overalls on...the guy should be here soon.

OH YEAH, I dont think i mentioned this before, but you know GEORGE CANYON...like, THE George Canyon, well I guess he lives out here now and wouldnt you know that he's one of our clients!!! :) And I guess there are a lot of Standardbred guys out here from PEI, so all the vets are going to make sure that I go on a call with them if they have to go to any of the farms!! :)

okay...NOW Im done... :)
