animal personality

Right now I am listening to a really interesting On Point show about animal personality. It is just interesting to think about how much of an animals behavior is based on environment, instincts, or even personality. Sure maybe we anthropomorphize our animals sometimes, but at the same time perhaps not all animal behavior that we think of as personality is just us humans ascribing human behavior to animals. Anyways if you are interested in the topic of animal personality at all, I would recommend it for an interesting listen.

Today was a pretty good day at work. It was only my 2nd day on the job and I learned how to administer IV fluids. I actually gave IV fluids to two dogs and stuck the needle in! One of the girls I work with offered to let me try to give a vaccination also, but I figured I would watch and try next time. Administering the IV was actually easier than I thought it would be, although I am a little nervous about the idea of giving vaccines and taking blood. I am sure it will come with time and practice. I really enjoyed my day, it flew by and I could hardly believe it was over when I was done. I think I am going to like my job… I feel like I am getting to do something really great.

Well it is time for dinner, so I am going to go enjoy the homemade pizza that Ben made:)
