The aspiring vet

Here on the farm, one of the tasks we have in the Springtime is giving our animals shots so they do not get diseases and taking care of the babies. Taking care of is a euphemism for removing the extra part of the lamb's tail that gets in the way and covered with dung and removing the testicles of the boys. My daughter has mentioned that she wants to be a vet when she grows up and she is just great with the animals. So today she was given the opportunity to band a tail and give the shot to the lamb. She performed the task without a problem! A little poop on the back end of the critter didn't faze her in the least and rooting around in it's armpit looking for the proper spot to inject into went well too. Maybe I do have a future vet in the family!
