April blog

For my april blog I will talk about the stress that does with being a Vet. Being a Vet is no simple task and it takes a lot of strength to do this job both being the Vet and the assistant. My mentorship shows how much strength thou need in order to do your job correctly and efficiently. All in all being a Vet takes much more than just the knowledge and the know how but it also takes an emotional toll on you and you have to be ready to take that on and control it.

Independent Component 2

1.  Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.
what I will be doing for my independent component would be volunteering at the San Demas Animal Hospital. I would be cleaning the cages, helping hold animals when they're being examed and also be taking the animals to their owners. 

2.  Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.

I would be logging my hours and also take pictures of what I have been doing. 

3.  And explain how what you will be doing will help you explore your topic in more depth.

this would give me a first hand experience in the Veterinarian work space.

Puppies

 In order to have puppies in an animal hospital it I very important to clean where ever the may be because their immune system is still developing and are easy to get sick. As well if they are boarding at the hospital you need to clean the cage and the floor very well so the puppies don't get sick and end up getting to have another appointment.
