I gave Hoshi a bath and trim early this morning. I tried to make it quick but it still took almost three hours. I did the basics: head, neck, and paws.

Lead testing in Flint, Michigan
This video appears to be a veterinary student drawing blood from the external jugular vein. Her technique is poor. She does check her landmarks to verify needle placement. The alcohol was applied but somewhat randomly. I’m not sure if the needle stick site is the same as the alcohol. She didn’t scrub the site with alcohol either. She had difficulty finding the vein too. She had to “dig” for it: It’s something frowned upon in nursing and painful to the patient.
Personally, I don’t think drawing blood from the external jugular is safe because they could puncture the carotid artery or lung especially when they’re digging around.
3 mile jog
We went on a 3 mile jog tonight. I didn’t plan on it but Hoshi kept going. The weather was nice and the neighborhood was quiet.
