First casualty

Today I had a bit of a lousy morning as one of my patients died on me, just like that. It was a calving cow that couldn't take the calcium I was giving her. The calf died as well. Bummer! Then when I got back to the clinic Gummi was humming "Killer Queen" and ended up tracking it down on YouTube just so that he could play it for us all. I have to admit that in spite of me being rather down about the whole thing, he managed to cheer me up a bit. And it is a great song of course.

Now I am in my bed finally at half past midnight after driving 120 km tonight to put even more calcium in even more cows all over the place. One was totally 'stargazing' and cycling with all four legs but we managed to get her up after being doubtful about her for 1,5 hours. Anyway, have had enough for now and not even sure I want to be a vet anymore-I want to take up professional knitting. Now that would be a great job to have...
