Last Friday we had a Pharmacology test, I put my heart and soul into it but it didn't go as good as I hoped it would. 

Daisy in school

Daisy has been joining me in school a lot this year, especially these last weeks. She gets better everytime!
Here are some pictures:

Daisy's daily training

Seven year old Daisy is now learning paw, rabbit and crawl... It is going well I think! I have not until now put in an effort to teach her anything because she is impossible, but now for some reason she has loads of extra energy and I have to do lots of mental training to get her to calm down. So here is a short clip of the daily training.

Daily update

Heading to a bar with my friends and our new friends from Poland. It will be nice to socialize with new people.

Otherwise I am just studying and devoting my time to Daisy.

"Fun facts"

Fun facts
*When I am stressed I get an urge to bake.
(So my fridge is always full during exam sessions)
*When I play vinyls I slow dance with my dog.
(She has started to get used to it)
*I hate to wear makeup because it is annoying to remove and I cannot rub my eyes.
*I am a dog-ochonriac.
(Always looking for problems with D, and I always seem to find them sadly enough)


Daisy update

2 December: Mastectomy
Right back paw: An small epidermal cyst was hurt, but it has almost healed
Left front paw: Daisy has ocd, so when she is stressed/understimulated/bored she chews on it. 

Bloodwork: Normal, except for the Estradiol. Which means she might have remnants of ovaries from her spaying. 

We are doing 2 test to confirm it: Measure the LH-values and inject gonadotropins and check the values 2 days later. This is to see if estrus was induced. 

I was told, and have had my suspisions, that she looks like a typical Cushing's dog. Not that she has it but that she will probably get develop it later on. It is most commonly diagnosed around 10 years (but now she lives with me, a vet student, so if it is true I will find it out!).


I do not know what is with her. She is going bananas when we are home; whines, playes, eats the bones made out of skin, sits and annoys you by looking at you for 5 min straight. I am taking the normal long walkes, today I even went out running and she actually galopped most of the time. Either she is really understimulated (which I doubt), she is trying to tell me she is sick or I DON'T KNOW. I liked having a sleepy dog.
