Got up at 3 Am this morning to drive to Tucson... on the far west side, take Jessie to Bernice's house, and Jazzy to Grandma and Grandpa Blakeman's for the weekend. Jasmine cried when I told her I would not be with her this weekend... the first time ever since November 18, 2008, but when I told her that she would get to sleep with Justin and Jade... she immediately started jumping up and down and screaming. So, it couldn't have been that bad:)
The seminar is at Loew's Vantana Resort on the west side of Tucson in the Catalina Foothills. Apparently, this is where Julia Roberts and other celebrities stay when they come here. I have my own jacuzzi, a TV in the bathroom... so I guess I could watch a movie while sitting in the jacuzzi... and my own private porch. Too bad I'm here alone- ha:)
The seminar -- well, the first speaker who will remain nameless was supposed to speak about "Vaccine Updates"-- which was why I got up at 3 AM to get there. He didn't speak about vaccines and didn't even have notes. He is an employee of Fort Dodge so I completely tuned him out when he said that all animals should be vaccinated immediately upon admission to the shelter. Dip wad!!
The second speaker, Michael Lappin DVM, ACVIM of CSU... was much easier to listen to and very entertaining. He has a PhD in parasitology (as well as many other titles) and was talking about parasite studies in Iceland... where they really don't have parasites in general. He said "It's always Cancun in the colon, even in Iceland"!!! Everyone fell off their chairs laughing. Guess you had to be there:) He was basically just trying to make a point that in Arizona, everyone thinks that we don't have alot of parasites due to the heat and low humidity... but we really do (supposedly).
Here is the view from my private patio:) Going to the jacuzzi now!
