I stuck my hand in where??

Yes, yes I did stick my arm up a cows bum today. :D

AND I AM SUPER EXCITED ABOUT IT!!!! Nothing can prepare you for this....each and every new cow is a whole new experience... and not until I log 10,000hours with cattle bums will the excitement start to wear off! 

We had the whole afternoon to learn how to rectally palpate cows and practice our pregnancy testing skills. Due to murdoch policy and ethical reasons, I am not allowed to show any photos with animals in the crushes nor am I allowed to show my arm in the bums; however, I can show you a photo of my face while performing this task! and I can show you the aftermath photos!

When your instructor is describing how to release trapped air from the rectum in order to proceede with palpation and the words, "Well, lets just be honest.... its gonna be a wet fart...AND it will indeed get all down the front of your overalls" ......come out of his mouth, you know your in for a GREAT time with cattle! 

Feeling dirty in true Vet school fashion with my bestie:

And here is a photo from the first time french braiding my hair one day before school, before I admitted I was sick and had a sinus infection! It is all cleared up now! :)

Othe updates: I am loving having a car, but I still take the bus to school when I can :)

I am loving my job as a receptionist at the emergency vet clinic...still have so much to learn, but I did get to reunite two stray dogs with each of their owners!!! It was all thanks to microchips!!

Brian Is really enjoying his job at Bunnings. He got moved to the paint department few a little while now and he gets to go to one of the paint companies that sell their product at his store for a training day to learn more about paint and specialties things! Its pretty neat! 

Apartment is working out nicely but subleasing term comes to an end at the end of October and when the landlords get back from vacation we have to talk about extending the lease or not. 

MOMMY AND AUNTI JODI - enjoy your vacation together!! I am sooo happy you two can finally just get away and do what best friends do! I love you both sooo much <3
