Today: Walked 1h 20min to the agility park and let Ärtan play while I spoke to my "new" friend Karolina. While on the way back home I met a few friends with dogs, so took another walk. So I have been out walking for 4h 20min, my body is so tired now!
Tonight I am planning on seeing the movie Interstellar.

Today's update

I am trying to get back to the healthy lifestyle. I started it when I came back here, went 3 weeks and I stopped, so 3 weeks later I am back on the horse again! Yesterday I went out running with the dogs and today I did a strength workout + jogged with the dogs. I am not that into what types of food to eat, as long as I have a good nutritious meal I am happy.

In school today one of our teachers had his last class with us because he is moving to France for 2 years, so we planned and served this big breakfast with cakes, buns and sandwiches.
Then we went to the farm where we gave fluid therapy to one cow (8 l of Isotonic electrolyte solution IV), which has almost all the symptoms of abomasal displacement but doesn't seem to have displacement, she is very sick but they do not know if there will be a surgery. Then we cleaned and massaged the vagina and cervix of a cow with retained placenta (Only 2nd day), and placed antibiotics.
After a short snack-break we got divided into groups of 3 and were given cases, after 10 min we had to "play" vets.
I just let down my hair. It smells like cowshit, but I can't shower because we are going to the farm again tomorrow. SO looking forward to a bath tomorrow!!!

Dog park

Today Linnea, Agathe and I went to the agility park again. It was a tough mental-training session because there was a lot of dogs today. First a nice small dog, not a problem, they kept away from each other after saying hello. Then a golden retriever came in, loose (Mom will get this)... Marley went first, then Ärtan and it was fine, they played or ran around. Then Daisy got to say hello, she is very frightened of them, but it went okay. She nipped her a few times while all of the dogs were running playing, and then she came back to me and didn't mind the other dogs. Agathe got to train with Daisy because Ärtan wouldn't listen to her, she was following me everywhere haha.
The great thing about the park is that the people there actually know dogs and the dog language(!!). It is so nice to meet people whom actually understands your dogs and accepts your decisions! 
It doesn't look like she likes it, I know, but this is actually her favorite time of the day. She loves "dancing" because for her it is like massage and afterwards she always craves hugs for a few minutes.

ETC

I am sick of people not picking up their dogs shit here. The other day I picked up Ärtans and then turn around just to step in another dogs poop. Fun times....

Yesterday Linnea and I went to a newly opened dog/agility park with the dogs. It was real fun for us and the dogs. When we were getting ready to leave a girl with her to dogs came in (one old and one young), Ärtan ran straight up to them of course.. But they started playing and kept on playing for a looong time. Eventually I let Daisy go and then she started playing with the young dog too, so it was a real fun thing to see when you have dogs that are usually quite hostile.
4th year has been fun, we are doing a lot of practical things. Lately we have been taking Jugular vein blood samples from cow, calves, sheep and goats, we have been doing tuberculin tests on cow and pigs, treat sick cows with fluids and meds.

Happy Halloweeeeen!




Endless night party

Agathe invited a few of us to the Desperado's Endless night party, which was amazing. It is not possible to buy the tickets, but with some contacts she got a few vip tickets for us! There were silent discos, a hotel lobby, dancefloor, concert, free drinks and food, an dlots of other fun stuff!

I still go riding, eventhough Hela has moved to Slovakia for a year. Last weekend she was back in Warsaw visiting so we went riding, but I had gone riding the day before. I rode barback which I have not done in in 5 years, the horse was superskinny and I am out of shape, so I had ulcers on my butt and did not want to ride. I brought tee, blankets and a book and whatched while Jess and Hela rode instead.
Such a sweet dog, they found her as a puppy, abandoned outside of a shop, and took her back with them.
