Spay and Neuter

I stopped by to visit my sister Paula's briefly while enroute to a nearby city for a business trip. She is a veterinarian at the local Humane Society shelter in the midwest. She was busy doing spays and neuters and I was able to witness her surgery skills in action. She had 8 puppies, several dogs and many, many cats to spay and neuter. The sheltie-shepard puppies were so darling and I was relieved to find out days later that they had all been adopted immediately. An 8 year Maltese named Lucky had the full make over - teeth cleaned, grooming, nails trimmed, blue bow adornment. I was concerned he might be too old to be readily adopted but his sweet personality shown through and he was quickly chosen by some loving owners. Michelle helped out with the surgeries and recoveries of the dogs and cats that were spayed and neutered that day. She just graduated from college and will soon be departed for 4 years at Iowa State University to work towards her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree.
