I Am Stronger Because of All I've Been Through
So many days I believe this to be true, that what I have been through has made me a stronger person... Today is not that day.
If there are any Veterinary medicine workerd out there you will understand this feeling.
Today I had to do the worst part of my job, helping with a pet euthanasia. It was this precious angels time, but he did not understand that. While placing his catheter, he was very confused and delirious, crying out. We all were trying to comfort him. But tonight after only having 4-6 hours of sleep in the combined last two nights, all I can think of is, and vividly picture in my semi-photographic mind, is that dog from today. How can I keep doing this job? My first passion is with exotic animal care, but right now I can't go back to that field. It is going to be another sleepless night for me, and then another long day at work tomorrow with people yelling at me that I don't care about their animals, when they don't know that putting down a pet that isn't even mine keeps me up crying.
