’Twas the night before surgery, and all through the truck,
Not a surgeon was stirring… not even for luck.
The E-tubes were hung on the wall with great care,
In hopes that our clients soon would be there.
The techs were all nestled, snug in their beds,
While visions of kittens danced in their heads.
And Dr. Bach in her scrubs, and I in my cap,
Had just settled in for a short, REM-less nap…
When out in the lot there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bunk to see what was the matter!
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tripped over a crate and a bag full of gauze stash.
The headlights outside gave a glow oh so bright,
Of pet parents arriving before morning light.
With carriers, leashes, and paperwork in tow,
They came full of nerves—but ready to go.
We welcomed each patient with calm, gentle cheer,
With treats and soft voices to ease every fear.
“For safety! For comfort! For each little friend!”
Our mission: great care from beginning to end.
So here’s to the pets, both scruffy and sleek,
And the teams running on just a few hours of sleep 😅
Happy surgery day from your Wandersnip crew—
We can’t wait to care for each one of you!
Ready for day 2 tomorrow!
