Veterinary Hospital

Greetings to Mr. Stoecklin, Kayleigh W. and classmates!

My first day in California was very exciting. Kayleigh's nana, Dr. Kathy is a veterinarian and is very glad to have me visiting. I met everyone at the Veterinary Hospital and I was very helpful.



I helped Dr. Kathy look at some Xrays, they are called radiographs. These are bone pictures of a very nice dog who was limping. His back legs were sore. See if you can find the 3 little round, very white circles. This dog got in the way of a hunter shooting a pellet gun. He will be fine, and I hope he will be careful next time he is outside in the field.



I was able to watch a surgery on a pet dog. See his back paws peeking out? It was very interesting and I asked many questions. I had to sit very still so I wouldn't fall off of Dr. Kathy's shoulder.


Dr. Kathy and her husband Cowboy Jerry thought I looked very thin from my travels across the United States, from Illinois all the way to California, so they took me out to dinner. We ate at The Back-Forty B-B-Q Place. The food was very good but I didn't eat much. They thought I was very polite and well behaved.

Cowboy Jerry is going to show me around the ranch in the central valley area of California. Maybe I'll get to ride a horse!

I am enjoying my trip and wish you were here also!
