I had a rough week at work last week.
It’s not all puppies and kittens all the time.
Nope.
Sometimes it’s a week full of cat pee, bunny bites and achy knees.
Instead of listing all the bad things that happened in a negative way I’m going to try and look at the positive side of it all so that this week I can head on in with a smile on my face.
Here it goes:
1. At least the cat that peed all over me didn’t have to poop too.
2. At least I didn’t get bit on Thursday when my whole morning was booked with “Will Bite” patients.
3. At least the police dog that came in for his appointment right after his bite work training was too tired to continue his training on me when the vet took his temperature.
4. At least the other cat that peed and pooped on me did not have to puke.
5. At least the spunky lab that dragged me all over the floor during his exam let me use him to get up when my knees refused to lift me up off the ground.
6. At least I was wearing socks when that dog that we had to induce vomiting on puked on my crocs.
7. At least the dog that had stress colitis all over his cage didn’t get the diarrhea on his face.
8. At least the bunny that was biting my left boob as the vet trimmed his nails only left a bruise on my boob and didn’t take a chunk of it with him. I had to tell the vet three times he was biting me before she finally heard me. “He’s biting me. He’s biting me. He’s biting my boob, please make him stop.”
Here’s to hoping this week is filled with a little less mischievous pets!
The Monday Mischief Pet Bloghop
Welcome to Monday Mischief – The pet blog hop that wraps up the weekend! This Blog Hop is brought to you by Alfie’s Blog, Snoopy’s Dog Blog, and My Brown Newfies.



Jen K says:
Wow. Those seems to be some rusty silver linings!
Well, on behalf of all people who seek vet care – thank you to you and your coworkers for all you put up with! That much bodily fluid takes a much bigger person than I to handle with any sort of grace and humour.
Jen says:
Ha-ha! Thanks Jen, Some days/weeks are worse than others-it seems like it all comes at once, but in reality the good outweighs the bad for sure, although the older I get it seems like the more I need some recovery time!!
urban hounds says:
I dont work with animals but it sound a bit crazy like my day job, Im a special ed teacher. When a kid is running away or throwing something at me I try to be thankful that it is rarely boring and I really do love the kids as Im sure you love your patients
urban hounds
Jen says:
Yes! There is rarely a boring day, which is good! Everyday brings something new!
A special ed teacher is amazing and I bet can be trying at times. Thank you for doing what you do!
Roo says:
OMD the bunny bit your left one?!!! BOL! Oh I know it’s not funny Hahahhahhaha! I’m sorry you got a booboo on your er ..left one – like you said at least it was just a bruise
Waggin at ya,
Roo
Jen says:
It did and it was the first time I was ever bitten by a bunny and it hurt!
I can laugh now that the bruise is gone!!!
Sue at Talking Dogs says:
And I thought I had a bad week!! You know, I bet very few people ever stop to think about what a vet’s office is really like day to day. (If they did, more pets would have collars and leashes at the vet’s… just for starters.)
Jen says:
OMG! Tat is so true and they would have on collars that fit properly and wouldn’t use flexi leashes in the unlock setting!
Mango Momma says:
Killer rabbit! Ouch!
Thanks for the smile.
Mango Momma
Jen says:
Big Ouch!
emma says:
Now that is why humans love animals so much – LOL!
Jen says:
They all kept me alert that’s for sure!
caren gittleman says:
Sure hope so!!! You deserve a raise!!
Jen says:
Ha-ha! I’m working off my vet bill:)
houndstooth says:
Okay, I feel guilty for laughing at that last part! I’m sorry your week was so tough. You have my sympathy, even though I’m laughing!
Jen says:
It’s ok to laugh, someone has too:)))
Jodi says:
Oh Jen! I only see the side of the vet from when we go in and my dogs love the vet!
So forgive me for this but, you got a bunny boob boo.
And you said Jenny Jugs had nothing to do with your boobs! xoxo
Jen says:
LOL! I guess now it does, I never thought about that!!
Kristine says:
You know it’s been a rough week when your post starts off with “I had a rough work at week.” instead of a “rough week at work.”
Sorry but that had me laughing and all kinds of sympathetic to you! Hugs Jenny Jugs, and keep those away from the bunnies. >.<
Jen says:
I have no idea what you are talking about:))) (thanks for heads up)
Kristine says:
Awe, you corrected it! It was so cutely “you.”
Jen says:
Awe, now I kind of want to put it back!
Eva or sometimes Priscilla says:
One lesson I learnt here is to keep myself away from bunny
))
The post really made me laugh out loudly and I like your positive thinking, Jen!
Jen says:
Keep any sensitive tissue away from bunny, lol
Maggie says:
Whew…what a week, so nice hear your positive take on a howling time, considering you must have the cuts and bruises to remind you of that week.
Jen says:
I sure did, all in days work-I guess. The older I get the more bruises I get:)
Roxy the traveling dog says:
It’s a good thing you love your job, cause I’m sure you aren’t getting rich doing all that. LOL
Jen says:
Believe I am not, but the discount is really good!
Blueberry's human says:
It is so wrong that I am laughing out loud at the boob-biting bunny!!!
Way to put a positive spin on your work week – I love it!!
Jen says:
Go ahead and laugh, only I would get bit in the boob by a bunny:))
Dawn says:
What a week! Another positive point, at least all these animals got veterinary care.
Jen says:
Now that is a very good point!
Two French Bulldogs says:
Yikes! BOL
Benny & Lily
Jen says:
Yikes is another word I said!
jan says:
You mean it’s not all sunshine and lollipops to work with dogs and cats?
Jen says:
Nope, Sorry to disappoint:)
Pamela | Something Wagging This Way Comes says:
I was just grinning until I read “He’s biting me. He’s biting me. He’s biting my boob, please make him stop.”
Then I cracked up. Sorry to laugh at your misery. Hope this week’s better.
Jen says:
The crazy thing was I had to say it three times because I was whispering because I didn’t want to scare the bunny!
SUGAR: Golden Woofs says:
Woof! Woof! Ouuuchie on #8. Hope you have a better week. Happy Monday. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
Jen says:
Thanks Sugar!
Flea says:
Holy cow! Seriously hoping this week is much better! Were you able to relax over the weekend?
Jen says:
Lol. No I had to work:)
Taryn says:
That’s a dangerous job you’ve got there!
Jen says:
Yes, I put my life on the line everyday:)) lol, some days things can get tricky.
Sam says:
Err…”3. At least the police dog that came in for his appointment right after his bite work training was too tired to continue his training on me when the vet took his temperature.”
Any potential police dog that can’t discriminate between the bite sleeve/a real criminal and anything that is not work should not be in the police force!
Jen says:
Correct, but not always the case.
Daisy says:
Never a dull moment!
XXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
Jen says:
Never, which is good most of the time!
2 brown dawgs says:
LOL it sounds like if definitely could have been worse! I guess the bunny took your nick name to heart.
Jen says:
I know, somebody must of told him my nickname!
snoopy@snoopysdogblog says:
And on another positive note, you made us laugh!!
You’re lucky I don’t come to your vets office, cos there’s no way, never ever you’re gonna take my temperature!!
Wags to all
Your pal Snoopy
Jen says:
I bet I could you bribe you somehow Snoopy!
Jackie Bouchard says:
Oh, is it wrong to laugh at your trials? The bunny story cracked me up. How this week is better! (I would say “it can’t get worse, right?” but I don’t want to tempt fate!)
Jen says:
Yes, yes-please don;t say that, don;t even think that. lol
Nichole says:
LOL… and here I was thinking “at least the old man who came to the lobby to pick up his newspaper was wearing pants” last week… and “too bad the lady who came to see me in her house coat didn’t think she had to put a bra on”… oh the joys of having your office in a 55+ residenital building!
Jen says:
lol-now that is pretty high up there too! OMG!
Elizabeth says:
Sounds like my Friday night!
Jen says:
LMAO! Wow!!
Julie says:
Oh my, that sounds like quite a week – here’s hoping that this week is much quieter
Jen says:
Thanks Julie! I’m just going to call in sick this week:))
Bebe says:
At least there is someone out there who loves animals
Jen says:
There’s tons of us!
melF says:
OMG Jen. You should write a book. Glad you still have your boob! LOL!
Jen says:
Wait, should I write a book about my boob biting bunny, lol:))
Sherrell Fick says:
I love it when I burst out laughing. Thanks Jen you made my day and hope this week is going better than last week. Love your posts Sherrell
Jen says:
Thanks for the kind words Sherrell, glad I could make you laugh!
Gizmo (@GizmoGeodog) says:
