Well it is Rosalind who wants to be a veterinarian when she grows up. Truly she does. She loves all manner of animals and critteres . However when the great snail roundup began, it was her sister Carolina who was pressed into actually picking up the little slimy things and putting them into their cages. And so 
it is with worms, spiders and other buggy type things Rosalind encounters.
So on Sunday when we decided to go to Waterloo Park with the dual purpose of letting Chris show the girls the construction work at the Perimeter Institute and also see the animals, we encountered a toad on the path. Rosalind wouldnt go very close and didn't even want to poke it with a stick to see if it was alive , dead or terrified. Carolina on the other hand didn't hesitate - picked it up and examined it closely before finally freeing it back towards the woods. Rosalind does have a love of and a tender heart for all creatures but I suspect her career as a veterinarian may be somewhat restricted unless she can coax her little sister Carolina to be her professional assistant !!!
