I have a whirlwind next couple of months. My first final is a week today, and the exam period ends for me on June 8th. I will be working on a couple of research projects right after that, and am hoping to have them completed by the time Cat and I fly to Bali on the 27th. I spend about 10 days there working with BAWA (www.bawabali.com), and then fly home to Vancouver for three weeks. Technically though, I'm not really there for three full weeks, seeing as I will be spending one of those weeks co-leading an animal wellness project in the Yukon with CAAT (www.caat-canada.org)! A team of us will be flying to the tiny village of Carmacks to sterilize, vaccinate, and provide parasite control to the community's dogs and cats. I am so unbelievably fortunate to have these opportunities! Every single day I am thankful for where I am and for the many people who love and support me along the way.
Speaking of people who love and support me...Iain has started his new job at one of the local universities, working in animal care. The workplace has already implemented some of his suggestions as far as animal husbandry is concerned, so he has already made a big difference in many ways. I'm so proud of him. He'll be holding down the fort here with the dogs while I'm away this summer.
My apologies for a short and probably pretty unsatisfying update, but I'd better get back to anatomy study. Chester is lying here next to me and feeling pretty thrilled about being prodded and poked in the name of science! I will update again when I've emerged from final exams. Love to all of you! xo
