Thanks so much everyone!

Well the first day was really interesting. I've watched an operation on a little dog, she was spayed, microchipped and had her dew claws removed. I also watched a few consultations, mostly on dogs, which felt funny to be on the other side of the black table (lol), and I got to mix the vaccines and put them in the syringe.

And I got to interact and look after the animals too! There is an adorable little kitten there whom I played with for a bit, and there was even a tibetan terrier who was having his hips x-rayed who is the grandson of Fabulous Willie, winner of Crufts!

So it was a really great first day. I'll be getting some pics soon, maybe some tomorrow, but definitely some over this next week. I don't know how many I'll be able to get of animals themselves, as quite a few are, of course, sick and maybe upset by a camera, but I'll ask and see what I can do.

Also, it's funny to see pets at the opposite ends of the spectrum. The ones at the vets are those most cared for and evidently well loved, whereas at the shelter you see those whose owners just didn't care. It's odd how people, as pet owners, are so varied.

So, I'll update this thread again when I have some pics!
