Sorry for the lack of posts in the past few months. Randy and I have moved on to facebook, so please find us there. I'll be posting updates and pictures regularly (hopefully)!

Update...Finals!!!!!!!!!!

Hi all! I have been extremely remiss in posting to the blog. The days seem to fly by faster and faster...it's hard to keep up sometimes. I used to feel like vet school was going to take forever...4 years of pain...but now, it seems like it's just flying by. Now I worry how I'm going to learn everything I need to learn in the short amount of time left...and believe me there is a lot to learn! I still feel like they teach us too much. I'm always asking myself....do I really need to know that for future practice, or should I just memorize as much as I can to pass boards? Anyways, right now I'm studying respiratory pathologies (important? yes!) for my systemic pathology class, and later I'll try to squeeze in some pharmacology. As I'm sitting here studying...I have all 3 dogs and all 3 cats crowded around me in the office...I think they're trying to remind me why I'm doing this! Finals start monday, and end friday...so it will be a long week. Looking forward to Mom's visit during spring break...hopefully the wonderful weather will continue :)

Back to School

Well, I've been back in school for 1 week. I spent my Friday night studying, and I'm up early on Saturday morning to study some more...a sign of what's to come. I felt like I'd fallen behind by the 3 rd day! Scary... Otherwise, things in Davis are the same as always...filled with lots of animals and their respective problems. Tobey is sure growing up fast. I think he's around 65 lbs now, and 9 months old. He is really become a fun dog with such a fun loving personality. He loves going to the barn with us, but is still learning how to be a barn dog (ie...exist around the horses, without getting kicked!) It's a big challenge for his little Golden Retreiver brain! Thought I'd update you on the most recent animal addition to the Davis house. I've posted some pictures of Tucker, our 30-something pound cat. We got him in November from Randy's sister, who couldn't keep him anymore due to his inappropriate elimination habits. So, Randy decided that we might be able to help him. Poor Randy had to battle the airports and cancelled flights to bring this enormous cat down from Canada. All said, Tucker traveled well and adjusted to our house quickly. We've had a ton of bloodwork run on him to rule out medical issues, and now he's on a diet and an exercise regimen! He started at 32.5 lbs, and he's down to around 30 lbs now. My goal for him is 20 lbs...I'll keep you updated on his progress :) Ok...enough babbling...it's time for some coffee and studying...
