#kennel tech

[itsonlystatic]

So I work as a kennel tech at a vet clinic, and a puppy came in (a 5 month old Airedale terrier) whose name is Carl.

And yes, the llamas with hats joke is immediate.

Even for our whiteboard, as my partner wrote this 😂

Your Fave is Problematic: Dog Breed Edition

Huskies

They do not bark.....they SCREAM

Overdramatic little babies - I was bringing a husky in for a weight check and it proceeded to scream as if I was beating the shit out of it....I was literally just walking it in...*sobs*

Manipulative little bastards...asking for kisses just after throwing a tantrum >.>

Dachshunds (aka Weenie dogs)

Biters

Their legs are too little to hold onto firmly when they go lateral

WILL try to backflip off the table and give their handlers a goddamn HEART ATTACK

Their nail quicks are so long so no matter how much you clip, you'll still end up with scratched up arms

Also overdramatic, except when they're terrified they scream AND void anything and everything on the table (poop, urine, and, if you're really lucky, anal glands)

Corgis

EVERY. SINGLE. CORGI I'VE MET needed a muzzle for exams, nail trims, blood draws, etc. Like??? C'mon man :(

Again: stubby legs, sucks to hold

Corgis actively choose violence as soon as they walk through the clinic doors

They're so fucking cute but underneath the cute exterior there's murder in their eyes

French Bulldogs

Screamers

Would rather DIE than get a nail trim

Their snouts are so short that I'm afraid even slightly touching their neck will suffocate them

"Are you just snorting or are you dying?!"

Golden Retrievers

They're either chill or they're FUCKING NUTS and you can never tell until you're already in the middle of taking a fecal sample

Long fur = crusty butt :(

Labradors

So energetic it's exhausting...like...yes, we're friends but holy shit you're either going to hurt yourself or pull my arm out of its socket

Add on to that: Won't stop running/bumping their heads into things!!! >:(

Will shake off 90% of the water they're soaked with when given baths bc they're water dogs

Rhodesian Ridgebacks

Nails are THICCC

Seriously, it's like you need an ax to clip those things

Chihuahuas

"OH. SO YOU HAVE CHOSEN DEATH"
