"anal glanded"; i couldn't find a better expression. how otherwise do you describe a dog leaving anal gland goo on your arm? very pretty.
see, i was doing work experience ytd morning at a vet clinic and was responsible for the bum area while a 6-month-old pup was put on a IV drip. essentially, i'm called a "bum-stopper" and i didn't mind because well, the bum can't bite. i'm quite safe until the pup freaked out about the shaving and catheter and wriggled - mind you, she was a stocky thing - and thrashed about a bit. my arm ended up somewhere within the vicinty of the arse and that's when i noticed drops of brown liquid.
too brown to be pee. too liquid-ish to be faces/diarrhoea. what do you know? it's anal gland goo. well, not jelly-goo but it was secretion. and the last times i heard about anal glands, they are pretty bad and whoa! smelly. and there it was, right THERE on my arm. Eeeeew!
i washed it thoroughly and sprayed Ooh La La! (animal deodorizer) on it but was paranoid about smelling the stench everywhere i went. so i had to change my scrub top too and neutralise myself with Impulse. it felt better but anal traces must have still been on my arm because Yang was VERY interested my arm when i got home.
while we're talking about arms, i got blood drawn from my lefty for a blood test for Q fever (vet thing) and skin test. it must have been Arms Day

Hihi you guys!!!!!
Thanks Jo for starting this blog, it makes me feel closer to you all in Perth and wherever else you are.
As you might have known, I'm in Singapore, and I'm doing something VERY different from vet...I'm doing accounting and finance at Curtin. I must say, I'm really enjoying it. Heee!
But...I might be going over to complete a few units or for graudation. :)
Man, I really miss you all! Everything is good here in the extremelyyyy HOT and HUMID country. Seriously, you should be glad you are not here this time of year. phew!
I wish I could go to your partyyy! It'll be soooo nice to take the stress away; my current assignments are killing me!
Oh, I'm also giving tuition part time. It's fun and the kid I'm tutoring is really smart, which makes it so much easier for someone like me, who is not very patient.
And recently, a stray dog has made it's way to stay at my house. I never wanted to keep it, but how can you resist a cutesy doggie that is sooo obedient. hee.
Well, that's it for my very 'exciting' life currently. heee....
Big hugs for every one of youuuuuu!!!!!

whee! party -
the vet students had a killer-wheeler physiology/histology test yesterday. i'm actually one of them really average vet students here. like REALLY average. everyone else seems to be a genius at theory work. this is one of those rare occasions when i'd rather practical, down-and-dirty work than sitting around listening to rambling. but it's not to say the rambling is not important. i just wish it could be better than it is now. anyway i'm expecting Just Pass. i'm one of those people at the shift rightward of the bell-shaped curve of average grade students obtain. very sad.
anyway, we are in the 11th week of the semester at murdoch. our exams begin on the first week of june so between then and now, we should have a little get-together before we all go bald (hair tearing). unfortunately, we can only cater for the WA-brats unless those of you in the easter states and Asia want to come all the way for a quick hug and transfer. our apologies but we all do miss every one of you and definitely wish you can be here.
details are, so far, as follows:
date: 10th may 2008 (saturday)
time: TBA
venue: joe's new house (rented; not bought; not that rich yet) in canningvale
rsvp: TBA
we have DVDs to burn the TV. PS2, XBox and Wii for gamers (the Wii is a bit wonky for some reason but it works ... sometimes) BOP IT: joe thinks it's the coolest game on the planet. no singing required (unless hendric wants to dedicate his latest single) because there's a migratory mini hi-fi from singapore.
and how about a sleepover people? plenty of space but not enough beds. the floor is carpetted and i swear i will vacuum up nice and clean for y'all prissy brats to lay your delicate bodies upon. but BYO PILLOWS and whatever else nighttime huggies you need for slumber.
that's all the info i have for now. we can work out #1 priority: FOOD later :)
lots of love
