Pet Day 2006
Today was Pet Day here at the OSU College of Veterinary Medicine. It's the big PR event of the year, and can be a lot of fun.
The last two years I was "stuck" in the food booth part of the day.
Not so this year -- being a junior meant that I could do nothing for Pet Day, I could wash dogs, I could do surgery on teddy bears, et cetera.
I began my day driving Andy to wear off some of his energy/maybe bad manners. Liz and I brushed him out and I braided ribbons into his tail.
I became somewhat soaked washing dogs for an hour and a half.
I worked in the libary for a while.
I did a harnessing and driving demonstration with Andy, and then Carol, Kristin and I took him out around west Corvallis. He did amazingly well in spite of a car alarm and barking dogs. It was nice to have Carol along -- she's a more seasoned Draft Horse Club member than I am, which takes some of the responsibility off me.
