Brownies CARE

On February 28, our Brownie troop teamed up with Daisy troop 739 for a field trip to the Cape Animal Referral & Emergency Center in South Dennis. Dr. Blake and Dr. Kaser gave us tours of the facility's exam rooms, surgery area, xray machines, patient care/monitoring room and the isolation room. The girls got to practice bandaging each other's arms and dressing up in surgical gear. We got to meet chickens, rabbits, a lamb, some doves and a dog who had a few too many pieces of chocolate (but was recovering nicely). We also saw an xray of a dog who swallowed a rock and had to have surgery. We then enjoyed a video of Dr. Blake's care of exotic birds. They provided us with cookies and refreshments afterwards. We brought donations for their Sampson Fund (fund for people who can't afford the veterinary care) and blankets and towels for the animals who come in. We also gave them some boxes of cookies to say thanks for the tour. Thanks Dr. Blake and Dr. Kaser! We really learned a lot!!!

After our field trip we headed to Burger King for lunch. Yum!
