For my surgical nursing class yesterday, we spayed/neutered 5 puppies from Guide Dogs of America. This is a non-profit organization that trains dogs to become guide dogs for blind people. Then they give the dogs to the blinds for free!
Most of the guide dogs are Labradors, but any breed can be a guide dog with the right temperament and proper training. Our group worked with this super cute German Shepard named Valor. She has such a cute face!
I have been living in Irvine for about 7 months now. I still go home about once a week to visit my family. But…. I don’t think Kitty knows me anymore.
Most of the time she still let me pet her, but maybe only for 5 minutes. Then she’ll try to scratch me and bite me. Sometimes she doesn’t even let me go neat her. She even hisses at me. So sad…. I learned in my feline class that cats do not recognize people’s faces. Don’t know if it’s true or not. But I just don’t think Kitty recognizes me anymore.
Two years ago, today, you left me and became a little angel. I still think about you all the time. All the precious memory of our time together will be treasure in my heart forever. I miss you so much, Strawberry! You will always be my special Strawberry, forever and ever!
I miss Kitty! I go back to my parents house to visit once a week now. So I only get to see Kitty for a few hours every week.
When I go home, I always kidnap her to my room. But I leave the door open so she can leave if she wants to. She usually stay with me though. ^^ I brought a suitcase home to take more things back to our apartment. I opened the suitcase, tried to get some clothes, turned around, and saw Kitty sitting in the suitcase. haha….
After dinner at Sam Woo, we walked over to Petco in the same plaza to look at birds, hamsters, and lizards.
We saw this cute little thing sticking onto the glass with this position…. the ENTIRE time we were there. The gecko was getting a really good stretch. Maybe he’s doing yoga? haha….
I did 60 hours of internship at Inland Valley Humane Society this summer. I worked 20 hours in the kennel, 20 hours in the animal hospital, and 20 hours of riding along with an animal control officer. It was a little depressing working in the shelter because a lot of the animals were put to asleep. But it was a very valuable experience.
I especially like the experience of riding along with an animal control officer. It was just like the TV show, Animal Cops. We got to answer many interesting calls. On my first day of riding along with the animal control officer, we got a rattlesnake call. A lady found a rattlesnake in her yard and called us.

*We’re finally settled in our new apartment in Irvine. Time to update the long due San Diego trip!*
After our relaxing lunch with bees and birds, we got back on our feet again to see more animals.
The weather was pretty hot, so a lot of animals were taking naps in the shade. They have a white tiger, just like the white tigers in Las Vegas.

I visited San Diego Wild Animal Park once when I was about 11 years old. I was still living in Taiwan and came to the U.S. for a family vacation. I remember sitting on the tram for the tour and fell asleep. That was all I remember about the zoo. I have been talking about visitng the zoo again with Dr. P for quite sometime. And Dr. P got me a pair of tickets for Christmas! I took too many pictures so I am going to write about the zoo in 2 parts.
San Diego Wild Animal Park is about 1 hour away from Coronado, where we were staying. We got to the zoo about 10am.
My camera died. Why did it always happen before I am about to take a trip? It happened before our Las Vegas trip last time. Same problem.
I know I know…. lots of scratches. I took this camera with me EVERYWHERE. Last time it broke, I fixed it for free because it was still under warrenty. I checked online for the repairing fee, it’ll be about $120. Well, I guess it’s time for my SD750 to retire.
We stopped by at Hong Kong Supermarket to do some grocery shopping after lunch. And I spotted….
FROGS!!!! Really fat frogs for sale!
