I got in to work and hardly got my outfit changed when the phone started to ring. And clients started to arrive in groups before I put the phone down. I felt like I was operating a Noah's arch. It was as if the whole town with their pets came in and were determined to try a record of "how many people and animals you can cram in to the waiting room simultaneously without getting bitten". My skills were truly tested when I had to try and make room for all of the animals needing to stay in for the operations; I had to change few cats to different cages and at some stage noticed that I wasn't sure which cat was which! When I got an owner to pick up her cat after the operation, I sincerely couldn't tell which one it was. So I asked her to come to the back room where the cages were- with the idea that she would recognize her own cat straight away- and I wouldn't have to reveal my ignorance. Luckily she played along and I got away with it. During the busiest rush hour, somebody brought in a seagull in a big cage. I had no place to put the seagull, apart from the middle of the back room. So the rest of the day I was hopping around the cage trying not to trip on it, to add for the general challenge. Of course, being so busy and having to multi task on high speed- I managed to make few silly mistakes. When the Vet came in to ask for the cat vaccination cards- I offered him the dog ones (despite having pictures of each animals on the front). Vet did raise his eyebrows slightly stating that the animal's picture gives a hint which ones are which. I don't mind that I don't know all the dog and cat breeds by heart- but at least it would be beneficial to be able to tell a cat and dog apart, when working at the Vets.
