I know it's been too long. Way, way, inexcusably too long. So here's the latest.
Took my boards, hope i passed. Find out in Feb. Signed up for Match (internships). Find out in March. Hopefully in Rhode Island. Made 200 cookies with Nashama. Ate way too many of them. Had a good Hannukah. Got weird animal gifts including a pig carved out of wood. Actually, fake wood. It's really plastic. Finished school. Off til' Monday (1/5), going to be living in DE for 2 weeks with my parents and commuting to New Bolton (large animal farm). Hope i don't get killed by Dr. Richardson. (Note to self - must read up on american history and the differences between hay and straw). Finally got to see the Olson's, minus Margit who's away and i haven't seen in WAY too long. Went to the charcoal pit with Andrew and Lucy and Bean. No clown sundae. Made green slime. Lucy said she "vaguely remembered the kids from her previous experiences at the YMCA". I love her. Clark is great. He's learning new tricks and wreaking havoc. I miss everyone. I've been MIA/at work/Red Bank.
ummm...I think that about sums it up.

Check please
I was giving a dog a rectal exam at work. This is a normal part of every dog's exam. The dog behaved and when I was done I said to the dog, "see, it wasn't that bad."
The owner replied, "Can I come see you for my exams?"
No sir, I'm sorry. I believe my appointments are all booked.

Undercover
I went to synogague on Friday night with my Grandma. I walked up to her when she was talking to another woman, probably in her 80's. "Oh, is this your grandson?" she asks. "No, this is my grandaughter, Andrea", my grandma says. "Oh, how nice your grandson", the woman says. "Do you know my daughter Eva? This is her daughter, Andrea", my grandma says. At this point I interrupt and introduce myself and again say that my name is Andrea. The woman looks back at me says and says, "well it's nice to meet your grandson!".
Then, not five minutes later, a man comes up and starts talking my grandma. He says to me, "Ya know, I have a grandson about your age, maybe a year older. How old are you? 16?" I start to laugh. "14?" he guesses. "Actually, I'm 26" I tell him. "Oh, well my grandson looks just about your age. I guess he looks old for his age too."
I give up.

What do you get when you mix 2 ducks and a cow?
I'm out at NewBolton Center which is the large animal farm. I definitely out of my element here. I don't have cool leather boots, or belts with horseshoes on them, or even a horse tattoo. The days are long and hard, but I must admit that I love being outside and its definitely a challenge! So far I have two patients -
Mr. Thompson. He is a 15 year old 1,500lb horse. He has chronic eye problems and had surgery and will be here for awhile. He's nice. But scary. Mostly because we weighs 1,500lbs! He's very sweet and we go for walks around the farm.
Tracey. She is a 7 year old Holstein-Fresian cow (black and white spots). She is weak on her feet and can't get up when she falls. So, she's been in a pool for the week. It's called the Aqua Cow. It's a portable tank that looks kind of like a horse trailer that fills up with water and she can stand in the tank. So she's in this tank outside with a tarp over her head to keep her out of the sun. Plus she has two rubber ducks floating with her to keep her company. Sadly, when we take her out of the tank and she falls, we have to use a forklift to get her back up. It's definitely a huge process. But she's also sweet.
Other random things I've seen - a few goats, alpacas, foals. Lots of cute baby things. but they all weigh way too much to really play with. I miss my cats and dogs.
And...to finish the joke...when I was little I told this joke ALL the time. Apparently I thought it was hilarious and cracked myself up whenever I told it:
What do you get when you mix 2 ducks and a cow? Quakers and milk!! (I know...try to contain yourself!)

Conversation?
Everything you need to know:
Yes you can pet him...it's not an illusion, he is missing a leg....no, he doesnt' have cancer and he was not hit by a car. He was shot.... Yes, by a gun.... No, I don't know who did it. I'm just fostering him. He was in his old owner's backyard and he was shot....no I work at the vet school and he needed a foster home...Yes he's doing very well...it's true. Dogs are amazing.

Time warp
Going back in time (Pre-July 4th):
Camping in Jim Thorpe: Drive 1 1/2 hours, sing Ani. Arrive at camping site. Look at all the crazy people. Fear for gay bashing. Check in. Set up camp in the rain. Attempt to light a fire - mission accomplished. Eat blackened hot dogs - yum. Nap. Register for race tomorrow. Fire, almost die from smoke inhalation, dinner, more rain, gin and tonic, sleep.
Wake up, run 4..., poop...mile race, finish in 33 and 34th place. We would've finished sooner if Jonah didn't have to stop to ...admire nature...Get 2nd place medal. Lock Jonah's keys in her car. White water raft 13 miles down the Lehigh River. Call AAA. Go home.
