Cats on horse drugs....

After vaccinating a barn of horses, pulling a coggins and doing a lameness exam this morning, I castrated 9 tom cats for a client. Worst part of it is that there are more her kids couldn't catch!

I do this for clients on occassion just to remind myself why I don't work on small animals for a living. Big animals can hurt you, but little animals will hurt you more often-I got scratched by the first one while administering anesthesia.

The photo is post-op recovery. 3 of the cats are in the feed cart.

Afternoon off work

The combination of a new jersey, a beautiful day and the afternoon off work made it very difficult to find an excuse not to get back on the bike. I was sucking wind for the first 8 or so miles, and then got back into the groove.

Rode the length of Rangeline and back-28 miles.

New bike jersey!!!

A friend of mine's wife works for the Missouri Electric Coop (she is one of the editors of the Rural Missouri publication that is sent to members monthly) and followed the Tour of Missouri with work. She and Rick gave me a Rural Missouri bike jersey! I love it!!
