I have the best job ever


I have the best job ever. I would hate to not do my job. I work at Noah's Ark Small Animal Hospital in Minier. I guess it does have its bad parts. A lot of the times just as I'm getting to really like a dog or a cat, it turns out it has some sort of cancer and ends up dying. Not always, though. There are also a lot of dogs I really like that are plenty healthy. I guess having dogs, especially the ones who are your friends, die a lot is the bad thing about my job. Everything else? I love it. In the summer, I let dogs out at 7 am everyday. It kind of sucked getting up at 6 in the morning during the summer, but once I got there I was happy. The dogs were always happy to see me, and there was usually a litter of kittens or puppies to feed. When you feed a litter of puppies, especially young ones, I find it is always best if you just sit them in your lap while you clean up their cage and fill their bowls.
I also watched surgeries that would save animals lives, or reveal how long they would live. I always thought it was pretty cool when the animals lives were saved. But when they couldn't be, it was always a pretty sad day.
I don't even mind having to clean up poop and puke. I guess it can get pretty gross sometimes, especially when they have something contagious, so you have to scrub and rescrub. More often than not, I really don't mind.
I like giving them baths too, because they're all pretty dumb so bathtubs and water scare them plenty and they act so dumb, it's cute.
I also get to learn about breeds of dogs. Mostly, I learn that their personality has to do with their owners. A lot of people don't train small dogs. So they tend to be bratty, so next time you get a small dog please train it not to bite. It is not fun when little dog trys to rip your hand off.
i could go on and on about how amazing my job is, but that would take forever.

Friday The Thirteenth

I already know that Fridaythe Thirteenth isn't really bad luck, but there are people who truly fear it. The fear has a name which is periskevidekatriaphobia. I also read that it isn't just Friday the thirteenth that is associated with bad luck, but fridays in general. Or so it used to be. Hey that's today.
uh I also read about soy products and how they are linked to thyroid problems and breast cancer. If someone has breast cancer, soy may promote the growth of tumors. Snopes response to this was that in some cases soy helps prevent cancer, or so it is believed. But there has also been several cases of people being effected negatively by soy. I expected soy to be entirely good for you and the story not to be true, but the truth of it is undecided. So, if you're a girl, don't eat too much soy.

Beloved Toy

When I was younger I collected a lot of toy horses. My very first toy horse was a regular brown horse I named Brownie. Since she was the oldest, she was the wisest. She knew where to get water, what to do when they herd was in danger, and anything the herd needed.
I remember playing with Brownie when I was watching The Lion King. My mom was taking a nap, and I was having play time. Brownie would gallop across the green carpet in the living room along with her herd. They would run as fast as they could away from the evil Hyenas and Scar who would jump out of the tv screen.
