yamamanamaThey were making smoothies for the raccoons from watermelon, strawberries, and blueberries, with pumpkin-flavored dog treats, but then forgot that the bladed slicer thingus wasn't in the blender. I say "they" but I'm pretty sure I meant Stephanie. Not Taylor, that Taylor is gone and there's a new Taylor to replace her. Hm, I wonder if Taylor will overtake Emma. I think I've met seven Taylors.
From the right angle, in the right lighting, Sarah's hair does look pinkish. She left while we were looking at hawk's blood so I got to look through the refractometer.
The grey fox is getting transferred to somewhere with other gray foxes as soon as we get the tests back for parvo and distemper and they're negative.
A raccoon ate the splints we put on him. That's just a thing raccoons do.
There's a tern in med ward and a crazy tern lady at the USGS.
I thought an anchor tattoo was a diplocaulus or diploceraspis or maybe even a lunaspis, but no, it was just an anchor, and maybe on the other side of her ankle was a swift.
Jack doesn't care about chimney swifts.
Their first x-ray looked like a box turtle-shaped marshmallow.
The box turtle is carrying a single egg. It's the ultimate egg, says Matt. It's the egg of the box turtle hero that will save the entire species.
Their humerus is horn-shaped and their scapula is a triangle.
There is a painted turtle who has four eggs who got a fishhook stuck in her mouth.
A gull (either herring or greater black back; it's hard to tell with juveniles) died from a fishhook inside of his proventriculus, which is the enzymey stomach as opposed to the ventriculus or grindy stomach, so we got to look inside it and see the heart and a blood clot that was there not causing his death but there because his circulatory system shut down upon death, and so the blood just collects there and congeals. This one smelt pretty awful. Tiffany says it looks like cancery lung and the heart is encrusted with white fatty stuff and the rest of the body is covered in sooty black that looked like fungus which is pus and you can't flush that shit out because it's solid in birds and Jill says that schmoo leaked out everywhere when the hook pierced his proventriculus and infected everything with its cheesycaciousness. I don't know how she spells that but it's not a real word so it doesn't matter. We had a hard time finding the hook; Tiffany suggested finding a magnet and pulling it out with that, and then throwing the magnet away. The seagull had really bad "breath" too. I say "breath" in quotes because obviously, it isn't breathing any more but there was some fetid air locked up in its beak. There are two red nodules on either side that are perfectly symmetrical and birds apparently don't have lymph nodes the way we do, so no idea what that's about. Bird tracheae have rings that go all the way around, while mammalian trachea have broken rings.
Jill used shite but says she never lived in Britain or Ireland.
Recently, Tiffany and Priti had to take apart a rabies suspect that she thought was left in the back of the truck during the heat wave.
Jacob called Jill "Julia" and said that at least at least he didn't call her "Sharon" or something. I almost called Jill "Julia" because I'm reading Through the Heart and Kem is reading a story about a girl named Julia.
