The bad day from Friday, remember the one I mentioned earlier. The day with the guy, the great guy, who made it all better just by being available. So back to that day, it started with an emergency call around 7:30 am for a acutely neurologic horse that I ended up euthanizing and the day ended with all the hoopla that is involved in reporting a neurologic horse to the state health department, as required by the state of Arizona. The rest of the hectic day is not worth the blurred details.

Fast forward to yesterday I get the phone call from the state veterinarian, the horse is positive for rabies. So today, I get to go get my post exposure vaccination. Since I’m previously vaccinated (required in veterinary school), I only get 2 shots, instead of the standard 5 series. That same guy, remember him, the really great guy, volunteered to go with me and hold my hand, even though he’s terrified of needles and shots. (I’m ok with shots but who’s going to turn down a cute guy volunteering to sit and hold my hand).
