First day at the R.S.P.C.A.

Day one at work and what a doozey! No ambulance (ambo) calls so I filled in the gaps which meant taking care of adoptions. Not so hard really, just bathing and fluffing up the dogs and cats that have been cleared for adoption. The RSPCA is terribly underfunded and run by hicks (bogans) so when the ambo isn't going out the attendants and driver help out around the place. There really isn't a whole lot of training it's just "that needs doing so go over there". Well I got into a groove washing up these cute pups and neglected to look if any had stitches still from desexing surgery. I ended up washing 3 dogs that had stitches. I feel so bad! They didn't seem to care that much and said they'd keep an eye on them but still, my first day and I do that. :( FAIL.
