Canine Practical and Now Examination Time...

So yesterday the class had the last practical. The practical was live anatomy of the dog for a couple of hours. It was an animal shelter that was right across the street from the beach with amazing views of the ocean. We were assigned this black labrador puppy that was absolutely cute! Unfortunately, it was a Labrador PUPPY! So a moving target is what we were dealing with and constantly dodging licks to the face. I must say though, after about 5 min I was bored, 5 years of working with dogs gave me PLENTY of experience. However, I'm sure there were people that did not have as much practical experience as I have. I did a basic overview of the bones and lymph nodes, etc. Did some restraint to try and control the puppy and she was not enjoying the fact that I was making her stay still. We finished the live anatomy and went back home after that. Now I have an entire week off to enjoy (errr, most likely won't enjoy...)....and study hard. We have exams in 2 weeks and they are spaced over 3 days. One day is for the anatomy exam where we must identify structures in the dissected specimen. The second day is for the written exam portion where we have to answer 10 or so questions. The third day is the written essay portion. Hopefully it won't be too difficult, I still have quite a bit to review and haven't even touched embryology yet. I'm saving embryology for last. Well, better be off to study, hope everyone is doing well!
