MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Your babies are beautiful. Any Pit Bull owner is a friend of mine.
Thanks for contacting me back.. The VP and I are working on some things.. we are going to change to club's mission. We are basicialy going to offer education (non-accredited) of topics like "Anatomy & Physiology" "Veterinary Office Mgmt." "Diagnostic Imaging" "Pharmacology" "First Aid" "Post-Op Care" and more!!!
We are still going to combat against animal cruelty.. just not as heavy as I had planned.

If you don't have time or just don't want to join, that's fine also =)
I started out as a Kennel Tech also. It wasn't very pretty.. but as they saw that I could do my job.. more BETTER jobs came along.. I was kind of playing two roles.. I was the kennel tech and a vet tech in some senses. I would do all of my kennel tech duties.. then I would come out and help them. I think I was doing like Fecals (nothing like playing in poop lol).. I was drawing blood.. filling meds.. and that kind of stuff. I am a vet tech right now.. will be a RVT in less than a year. I am a pre-vet student also. So, I want to let people know.. they don't need to take their animal to the vet, for something they could do at home. BUT THEY NEED TO KNOW HOW to do it.
Thanks for your time!
Keith Cole =)
