Avery has officially turned one year old on February 25th! We have ordered her a new collar for two main reasons 1) she has chewed her tags and needs one with the ID on the actual collar and 2) she has gotten bigger. We also officially celebrated her birthday with a cake. Although disgusting, she really enjoyed her peanut butter. Her mom and dad are still in the area along with some of her littermates and once we all get on track, we are having a big puppy playdate.
Food Animal is still going well. I had the cutest patients a few weeks ago. We have been taking care of quite a variety of animals including horses, goats, and cattle. Amazing that these all fall under our department but they do. I have really enjoyed my experiences even though I am completely exhausted and have not even started starting for our final which is in little over a week. Luckily, it's just on the cases rather than the all the lecture notes like the pre-test was. P.A.W.S. is being discussed in a few of our veterinary publications which is really cool. It's amazing how many people are interested in our project. It really shows that we are making a difference. We are finishing up in the last few weeks of the year which makes it even harder to believe that this school year is almost over.
Baseball is going well. I was able to go to a game the other night. It's so hard with having to be on call and doing nightly treatments at the same time that Eric has games. I feel sorry for Avery the most because once Equine starts and baseball really gets going, she'll be along a lot. Right now the junior high is 5-0 and the high school is 4-1.
The biggest news is that Starkville, MS officially had snow today! We had a blast! I can only describe it by posting a few pictures of our exciting day.
I have never seen Avery run so fast. She had a great time catching snowballs in her mouth. As Eric says, "her two favorite things: retrieving and destroying."
The Ebers family officially is giving up sweets for Lent! Can't wait until Easter!
