Whoops! (again) It's been quite awhile since my last post. New things are happening and it's exciting. Today, however, was alittle on the sad side. It was my last day at the animal hospital I've been working at for over the past year. It was a really great job, learned so much useful information, worked with some fun and interesting people, and saw countless numbers of adorable kittens/puppies/cats/dogs. I'm going to miss working with the good friends I've made, but I'm also going to miss two little furry creatures.
Miss Fiona joined our crew a few months after I did. Some heartless person left her and her 4 kittens in a carrier at our clinics doorstep one night. We were thankfully able to adopt all of her babies out to good homes when they were old enough, but were never able to find a loving home for Fiona, so we adopted her! The staff was very happy to have her as our newest member :) She has quite the personality. Very, very active when we all get there in the mornings, runs full speed through out the clinic. And since the floors are very slick more often than not she slides rather than runs. She has discovered recently how to nudge the sink facet with her head to make it drip allowing her fresh running water to drink, haha. Very spoiled, her favorite spot is hanging out up front at the reception desk or checking out the patients in the exam rooms. Not too fond of other cats, but loves dogs oddly enough.
And then there's Buck.
Poor Buck, I'm really going to miss this guy. If I didn't already have two cats I would have taken him home with me. Our Doctor thinks he's around 6 years old. Poor little guy has the same beginning story as Fiona and her babies. Someone left him at the clinic when he was a kitten. From what I've gathered they adopted him out, but that didn't last long. The lady brought him back because he was too aggressive with her so they kept him for the clinic. At the time there were a bunch of teenage boys that worked in the kennels and they were not abusive to Buck, but they certainly weren't loving towards him either. So he grew up to be deathly afraid off people and in turn became abit mean. But for one reason or another he attached onto me like super glue. Whenever I was at work he was at my feet. Always talking to me, trying to get me to pet him, if I sat down for 2 seconds he was in my lap purring away. Everyone would tell me that when I'm not at work he walks around looking for me. He doesn't get along with other cats either so unfortunately him and Fiona aren't buddies. I hope someone new comes along that he likes so that he doesn't spend all his time hiding in the back.
