Vet School Fun

On a rainy Saturday right smack in the middle of Dad’s ordeal we found ourselves with some free time. Mom and Dad had gone back home for a few hours to get a few things taken care of. Soccer was canceled.  So we decided to head to the Open House at the NC State Vet School. This is something we’ve wanted to do for a few years and haven’t been able to for various reasons so we were excited to go and for the distraction.

We climbed on statues, petted Cowboy the police horse, went on a tour of the buildings, saw cows and horses, pointed at skeletons and even milked a cow!!!!!  Will was not a huge fan of that experience but Avery was, which was all very surprising.

Another neat thing the Open House had was a “Teddy Bear Clinic” where vet school students stitched up injured stuffed animals.  Will picked out a monkey, which he named Monkey and Avery picked out a pug that she named Buggy the Puggy.  The timing of all this proved to be impeccable as these bandaged up stuffed animals really helped us explain what was going on with Dad at the hospital and his incisions and bandages.  Just one more example of how God provided for us these last few weeks.
