The Jackson 5

Wow, it has been so long since I have posted. Let's see what I have to update you on.
Well, I did my 5K on September 19th, and I did pretty well. I ran/walked it in 51:34 which isn't too shabby. Then we got to do a tour of the Detroit Zoo's veterinary hospital. The tour was pretty sweet.
School started back last week and it is going fairly well. Today's lab was pretty awesome. We had three of the Jackson 5 in today. No, not the singers; some really cute lab mixes. We had Jermaine a little chocolate lab mix. He was so calm for a lab puppy, it was crazy! He's such a little baby, I wish I could have taken him home with me.
Well, poor little Jermaine has worms. Which, that in itself is kinda gross, but not a big deal, right? So, I was carrying him around, cause he was just too cute to put in his cage, and I shifted his weight from one arm to the other and I happened to look down at my arm which had a tapeworm on it!!! I was like, "Ah! There's a tapeworm crawling on my arm." Everyone thought my reaction was hilarious. It totally is funny, but I was SO not expecting to have a tapeworm crawling on my arm. It was totally cool though because I got to make a slide with a crushed proglottid (body segment full of eggs) and some water and I identified what time of tapeworms he has and I got to look at the tapeworm under the microscope too! I had never made a slide like that before so it was pretty sweet.
Other stuff in lab was pretty cool too. I got to monitor for his neuter, and it was the first time I got to do it the whole time. It was pretty neat. I really like the esophageal stethoscope, it is sooo neat to listen to.
I guess I will sign off for now. I mean, there is a whole ton of stuff I could go on and on about, but most of it is pretty boring for you, since you have no clue what I am talking about.
I will try to post a couple pictures later on that I took today.
