Tinkerbell gets fixed.
Large animal care center at the back.
I watched from afar. Jake watched EVERYTHING during the surgery...she laid out all of the removed parts for him to examine up close!
A dog with a liver disorder.
Jake rubbed this dog's face as he was euthanized. He got into antifreeze and was having seizures - we saw his last seizure before he passed away.
Dr. Battershell is a 2nd-degree black belt - we know her from TKD. Jake was assigned a GT project: Pick a career you'd like to consider, interview someone in that career, and shadow them for 1/2-day if possible. Jake said it was one of the best mornings of his life! There are several photos that were too graphic to post - one of a dog burned in a house fire in which the owner died. Jake loved and loved on that poor dog.

Wow!! What an amazing day for Jake! That is great that he could watch the surgery and not be bothered by it. How did he do after the dog was euthanized? That is tough stuff for a boy who loves his own dog so much!

When I asked him how he felt, he said he felt a little like crying. However, the vet explained that the dog was suffering and would continue to have one seizure after another and keep on suffering. Jake seemed to accept that. J
Good job, Jake!I would not be able to stand watching any animal be euthanized. You are so brave! I love the pic of you with the horse ;).
