I Like Big Mutts and I Cannot Lie

Hey stalker. What’s up? You may’ve noticed that I’ve been blogging a lot recently and I hope that this keeps up. At this point, you’re probably really sick of my puns. Don’t worry, I don’t plan on stopping any time soon with this legendary word play. Just recently, we participated in an event for grade 9s called, “Take Your Kid to Work Day” It’s pretty self explanatory, and I went to my mom’s work. My mom works at a vet clinic and she’s the manager there, so I’ve already been there a few times. When I visited for take your kid to work day, I started off with some cleaning. I cleaned the exam rooms and it was actually a lot of work to do. I had to dust and wash shelves, picture frames, etc. I even washed walls! After some cleaning, my mom had an appointment with someone from a pet insurance company who was telling my mom more about the insurance company and what they offer.

After that, my mom had an appointment with a woman who was fostering a dog that was surrendered by a boy on the streets. The dog’s name is Marley, and he’s up for adoption. I absolutely loved him when I met him and I noticed that he is very energetic and loving. He’s a husky, shepherd, rottweiler mix and they think he’s about six. I really want a dog so I was prying my mom to adopt Marley but she said no:( I think Marley would make a great pet for a family that has a lot of time to take him on walks at least twice a day. Here’s a picture we took as the adoption photo: img_9750

My favourite part of this would be meeting Marley just because I’m an animal lover. I didn’t really dislike any jobs that I did. If anything, when I got home I noticed that I was exhausted. In addition, I wasn’t really passionate about what I was doing here and I don’t think that this might be a career I’d have in the future. However, this did influence me by realizing that when I do get a job, I hope it would involve animals.

Also, I learned a lot about cleaning. As boring as it sounds, it’s actually quite important for any hospital. If a hospital isn’t cleaned properly, there’s the risk of spreading disease. It’s happened before, just not at any of my mom’s places because she and the staff ensure everything’s squeaky clean. 

In summary, I had a lot of fun at the clinic. The staff were really nice and I was able to learn a lot about work in general. I look forward to learning more!
