"YOU MIGHT BE A VET TECH IF..."

You look at a cardboard box and recognize its coffin potential.

You go out to a club and when the black light comes on, you check yourself for ringworm.

You can eat lunch while cleaning up a Parvo blowout.

You can keep your milkshake frozen in the freezer around a dead dog’s tail.

After seeing what goes into the washing machine at work, your own laundry doesn’t seem so dirty.

Your work clothes look just like your pajamas.

All of your pets are either 3 legged, lame, or blind in one eye.

You’ve done an anal probe on a bird.

You can detect maggots just by the smell.

To you, pets are more recognizable than their owners.

You find a hair in your food, pull it out, and keep on eating.

You cough up hairballs.

You are the first one in the hospital and don’t notice the smell.

You start to like the smell of anal glands.

You can play connect the dots with all your scars and puncture wounds.

Normal people won’t eat meals with you.

You get the flu and begin to sympathize with the Parvo dog.

Your paycheck barely covers your food bill.

You’ve ever picked up dog poop with your bare hands.

You can put a muzzle on with one hand.

You know the term pink juice doesn’t mean Kool-Aid.

You get a rash from just looking at a Shar-Pei.

You can take a dog’s rectal temperature without looking.

I started off laughing at the list, and then thinking, "Wow, that's gross." I guess I'm not a vet tech. I did work in a shelter for years, though, so I really appreciate what you folks do!
Saw your comment on my blog. Glad you think my pups are cute! The beds came from the Drs Foster and Smith catalog. I've had pretty good luck with their stuff.
Thanks for stopping by.
