Outer Banks, NC

We've been on vacation since last Saturday. Beautiful weather, ocean breezes every day and yes, a bit of rain most nights while we're sleeping. Sun, sand and cold cocktails! Gotta love it right?? I'll post more pictures later when we get home, internet is sketchy since we're so far from the clubhouse. Conner and Claire tried to paddle board in the surf. It was funny to watch their expressions when the waves came their way. Uncle Greg is heading our way today, been too long since we've seen any of those Georgia (now NC) Dowds!!

I had a great weekend and went horseback riding in the Cuyamaca Mountains with some friends. The friends volunteer as the mounted patrol for the state park. Just trying to get my backside bruised and battered enough for my horse trip in September.

When Vet Techs get bored at work

This is what happens when I don't keep the technicians busy. Poor Cliff.

Why I like my job

A seven year old Golden Retriever was playing at a little dogs house and found a cool toy that he liked. Before the owner knew she couldn't find the toy. Guess where and what it is?

A hedgehog squeaky toy.

It had actually expanded in the stomach. I got to go in and cut it out.

The patient is at home with his "golden hedgehog" and recovering well.
