Getting a pet while in Vet school

Side note, my vet school friends all wanted me to name the pup Addison (or Addy) so she would be Addison Shepherd (like Grey's) but I was too afraid she'd get Addison's dz.

So her name is Bryce.

Haha, I love it. You should start a thread of "medical reason's not to name your pet something". My dog's name is Splat. If people ask if it's short for something I tell them it's short for "Cisplatin Splats Cats and 5-FU Does Too". Of course I didn't learn that little mantra until after I named him.

We always have that discussion at work (especially when an animal comes in named Lucky!)!

On a related note my dad is a doctor and wouldnt allow me to be named or have initials of anything medical related...so i guess it logistically would transcend the animal field too!

So, I think I'm going to be rescuing another cocker spaniel this summer. She's special needs, because she has TERRIBLE ears (she's almost deaf because she had so many infections in the past). I reread this thread, and think it might be okay, but I was hoping for some reassurance that I'm not completely crazy to get another dog -- especially as it will essentially be me doing the primary care, on my own (until I get a nice boy who likes me and my dogs and doesn't mind walking them; see previous posts re: dentists/doctors/lawyers/MBAs 😀). Ah, but she looks really cute: http://www.cockerrescue.net/cockersavailable/cockers.html

okay. Obvisouly I'm planning on getting another dog instead of studying and writing my paper. At this rate, I'll have like 200 dogs after all the vet school exams! 🙂

Thoughts??

She's cute!!

I adopted a retired racing greyhound named Gary. http://www.gpamo.org/recently_adopted.htm He's such a silly, goofy dog.

Congrats! Greyhounds are wonderful. We have two and I couldn't imagine life without them.

Necrobumping because @Caiter92 decided to wrap my mind around adopting a Greyhounds and I can't stop thinking of adopting an older/ retired greyhound this summer!

My roommates for next year bailed on me, so now I'm thinking of living on my own and being a foster owner..... It's a dangerous thought. lol.

I'm just following TT's post about how to search! Also I was born, I was just 11 at the time and in 7th grade.

This was the summer between my sophomore and Junior year of high school. You're making me feel old.

I make everyone feel old! The worst part is that everyone calls me an egg, but @TheGirlWithTheFernTattoo is younger than I am and she gets away unscathed!

Because she's a plant and not an egg. 😛

Are you complaining about your age egg? @finnickthedog @SkiOtter @Caiter92 @WildZoo @Trilt @vetmedhead (totally typed out meat first)

 

[Trilt]

ugh

 

[finnickthedog]

@cdoconn it's not our fault that you are an egg. We have to call it as we see it.

You're the one who called yourself a child. You brought this on yourself. We just edited it appropriately.

Was this necessary bear? Was it? Last time I complained about my age I became an egg. Who knows what'll happen now

Hard to tell when you're smaller than a quail egg now. Seed maybe

Nah, next step below quail egg is salmon roe. 😉

I'll always be meathead in your heart even if my username isn't as meaty as it should be. 😍

I frequently try to tag meathead on here. Can you just become a donor and change your name?

Would you like to be a tufted titmouse egg instead? It's smaller than a quail egg.

No I'm very happy with being a quail egg, actually.

You sure you want to pass up this opportunity?

Maybe in the future. I'm a very good quail egg

Even if I did donate and change my name I wouldn't change it to that, lol
