Work: Today there were alot of euthanasias :( We had 4 emergencies come in right in a row and 3 of them were put down. One was a blocked cat and after he was put down one of the techs showed me how to unblock him and let me do it! It was difficult but eventually I got it :-D It was exciting... kinda made me forget he had died :'( They also had to put down a long time client's pet :( She was an 11yr old cattle dog, the nicest cattle dog ever, who started having seizures and there was nothing they could do... many tears involved :( And one of the doctors was performing a spay on the biggest pit bull I've ever seen and she dropped the pedicle :-O Once again I'm taking the easiest way out and putting up a link for you all to see what I'm talking about exactly http://www.ahrdvm.com/surgery/can_spay.htm. Any questions just ask :) That's about all that was exciting... the techs are great because they teach me stuff :) I think the doctor I'm shadowing has done this so much with externs that sometimes I get lost in the shuffle... don't worry, I know I just need to speak up and that's exactly what I'm doing tomorrow in regards to me watching surgeries.
Portland: I went to the city today :) First time all by myself and I rocked it ;-) Didn't get lost at all and successfully navigated myself back out and onto the right expressway. Take that all you who think I have no directional sense! So far I stuck to the Pearl district and Chinatown. I'm expanding on Thursday. I took a few pictures but the streets I was on resemble GR so I didn't think I needed to take a bunch of pictures... but here are some I did take -
Ok, next is the gate into Chinatown... it was pretty neat :) Kind of looked like a smaller version of San Francisco's Chinatown (that was Portland: I went to the city today :) First time all by myself and I rocked it ;-) Didn't get lost at all and successfully navigated myself back out and onto the right expressway.

for mom and anyone else who has been to SF :)
After all my walking around I got something to eat... Yes, I ate at Pizza Schmizza and it was delicious :-D
And finally, driving home I took a picture of the trees and the highway and the driver people on the road. I kind of like it but it's a bit dark (I'm no professional like mom :)) so feel free to disregard :)
More to come tomorrow!

Your trip sounds both educational and fun. You must be very pleased with yourself for finding your way around Portland so easily. :-)
The radiograph x-ray or whatever it's called sounds cool - I've never been too good at figuring out x-rays, so maybe even I could decipher these.

(P.S. to Cedar: Woof!)
