dyachei wrote: ↑Mon Apr 18, 2022 10:03 am Heights. It comes from my most memorable family vacation. We went to Zermatt and the Matterhorn and I was running down part of the mountain and couldn't stop. I was about 5 at the time? There was a cliff edge and someone managed to catch me before I hit it. They told me they were just there becauase they felt like it. Had never left the US before but felt they needed to go to Switzerland. My brother and I are the only ones that remember this vacation though

that's terrifying! D:

i'm SO glad those people were there, literal guardian angels.

what is your current biggest fear?

do you have a really memorable family vacation?

now that you're a parent, is there anything you know you will significantly do differently than your parents with amy?
not really. I do want my husband to spend more time with her than my dad spent with me. he was on business trips all the time and I rarely saw him until i was a teenager. And I want to be more supportive about any lgbtqia+ issues than my parents were.

what do you consider the ultimate comfort food?

dyachei wrote: ↑Fri Apr 15, 2022 9:51 am On my last day of work before parental leave, I had a very sick dog come in. She was normally aggressive when we'd seen her before and she was acting very sweet and not like herself. I did some x-rays and some blood work and found she had an infected uterus. I couldn't find anyone else able to help her so I performed surgery to remove it while 9 months pregnant. She recovered with the other vet over the next few days and went back to being herself. That win will sit with me for years.

I also really love seeing angry cats because I'm good with them and I can usually handle them when most people can't. I get a lot of clients that talk about how their cat is usually so bad but I can typically exam them without issue.

Losing pets unexpectedly is probably the worst part but I think of euthanasia as a gift we can give a suffering pet. The true worst part is when a client refuses care for a sick pet or yells at us for being money grubbing. We do things for much cheaper than many places and compared to human med our prices are a steal. But we have to keep the business afloat and pay our employees.

aww i remember that dog, i'm so glad she had you to help <3 <3 that is a really heartwarming story.

dunya wrote: ↑Fri Apr 15, 2022 8:54 am we know you're a vet, and a pretty passionate one at that. what are the "unwritten rules" of your workspace/place?
You don't use the word or phrase quiet or slow when referring to how the day is going. It's superstition and it probably has no bearing on how things go but it always seems to provoke bad shit happening if it happens (like a dying dog showing up at my doorstep).

Other than that we try to keep it professional but swearing (not in front of clients) is encouraged

i like these rules.

what are the favorite parts of your job as a vet?

least favorite (apart from losing patients cos i know that is probably always the worst part)?
