Somehow I knew you were a good student! My kids have already told me they have no desire to dissect even a preserved animal because it would hurt their tender hearts to do it. This might be a problem because one of them says they want to be a vet and the other a marine biologist. LOL! Maybe they'll change their minds by the time that biology class rolls around. As a child, I wanted to be a vet, too, until I learned you sometimes had to put animals to sleep and operate on them after car accidents. That did it for me! :)

WOW! I was the same way! I wanted to be a vet also but learned the lessons you did. Even in high school, I looked at being a vet, but learned that the school I wanted to go to used pound seizure to obtain it's animals for 'practice'. The thought of performing a test on someone's pet made me sick. Today, however, that school offers alternative education through a partnership with Washington State University.
