Week 87: Harrison's Out of Chance

Been a pretty slow week, really. I only have to put in fifteen hours at the zoo, over four days, so I'm mostly kicking it at home, relaxing and job hunting. Vegas did not pan out for a project, but still a possible job. On Wednesday, I got surprised by a bunch of physicals going on for some animals and I ended up helping out, sort of playing vet tech for the day. I really enjoyed it! That's something I've always kicked-around doing, but that means yet another two years of school...bleh. Probably not going to happen, but possible. Unfortunately, as a result of one of those physicals, we decided it was Chance's time to leave us. It appeared that his liver was not functioning at all, or at least very little. That sucked. He was the best, and I will miss him dearly. More shockingly, on Friday morning, Harrison was found dead in his mew. Causes are yet to be determined, but it was totally unexpected. Crazyness. I really hope that was the end of the deaths for our class. There's at least not any more that I really see happening for sure soon. (Pics: Chance (binturong), Harrison (Harris hawk))
