Vet School Open House

The Annual UGA Vet School Open House has become a tradition in our family.

There are activities that we look forward to every year, like the Teddy Bear Surgery:

A surprise bonus was that we saw my niece Callie while waiting in line!  She was on a field trip with her class.  

Checking the vitals of the bears before surgery.

Callie and Amanda suited up and ready to go!

Another room that we always look forward to is the Anatomy room.  They always have different specimens for us to view.

Comparing human tongues to a cow's tongue

Amanda was fascinated by the X-Rays

We also always see new things as well.  This year we arrived at the right time to see a sheep sheering demonstration.

The wool was so soft

Can you tell which one has been sheered?  His friend was going to be sheered later in the day for another demonstration.

Another new experience was seeing the insect zoo sponsored by the entomology club.  There were exhibits of live and preserved insects.  Scott loved the samples of food...cookies made with mealworms.      I had a bite and thought they tasted fine, but just couldn't get beyond the sight of worms in my cookie.  Scott certainly is my most adventurous eater!
