The best and the worst of my weekend

One of my cute patients.....he is 14 years old, and was a very sweet patient. He went home Saturday after a lengthly stay in CCU for liver issues.


This handsome guy had a mass removed from his mediastinum...this was less than 12 hours post op and he was still highly medicated. A very painful surgery....hope he does well...


A cute and lucky little kitten that was found on the side of the road. The kind soul who saved this kitten from certain death has quite an investment already....his jaw was fractured...the red tube is an esophagostomy tube for feeding...although the kitten is eating well on his own......he should do well and live a long life.


The sad, sad part of my job....this beautiful 9 week old puppy was bit on the back and shook by a big dog. His back was broken, he was paralyzed and was humanely euthanized.....so very sad....


Today, Sunday, was a day to be outside...after being inside a critical care unit for two days in a row, I long for physical activity outside! Yup, back to the lake...


The day was cool and overcast, but I love all kinds of weather...


Me climbing "cracking up". All the routes are named, and there are hundreds to chose from...from beginner to pro. I felt good climbing....did this route twice.


Cold and cloudy? I don't mind.....


Lou's middle son Jason guided us and set the rope. He's been climbing these parts for 20 yrs.


A wonderful way to end the weekend! Thanks Jason for your expertise!!

I was just thinking that 'you Rock!'...and then started laughing cuz, ya know...rock climbing. Maybe it's only humorous to me. Anyway.

So sad about the puppy....I'm glad the others are on the mend. Perfect way to end a busy stressful weekend! Like Jacque says You Rock! Have a great Monday!

Climbing must be a wonderful stress reliever. I'm sure you can concentrate only on climbing and thus forget all your cares and worries.
