Emergency Vet

Dear Camper Families,
It was a busy week at Vet camp!

Monday

A rainy day can't dampen our spirits! The kids got to make dog biscuits. They also continued working on their costumes for Thursday's animal parade. We were rained out of afternoon recess, so the kids got to watch a movie.

Today was a busy day! In the morning, dog breeder and vet tech Ann Soule visited with the children and brought two of her dogs: a mother dog and her daughter. One of our camper's parents brought a third dog, who is the son/brother to the other two. In the afternoon the campers had sprinkler time.
