Our thirteenth day was the day with our shortest commute to work, because work came to us. Since we were staying at the Amazon CARES shelter, we set up our mobile clinic out front. No commute time meant more time to explore the grounds before work.

| Ouch! |
 |
| Me brushing one of the shelter dogs...he loved it! |
Once the entire crew arrived and we set up our surgery site, we got to work.
One of our first patients required the removal of a bot fly from her back.

| A few days, including this day at Cabo Lopez, we had a nurse from the local health department spend the day with us to hand out the human parasite control. |

| Dr. B. scrubbing in for surgery. |

| Many of the dogs we saw were missing teeth or had severely worn teeth. |

| Surgery side by side. |
At Cabo Lopez, Donna and Debby provided the kids with Tootsie Pops and coloring books.

| This little boy held his kitty until he woke up from surgery. |
About half way through the day it started to rain, so we were forced to move inside where the lighting was nearly too dim.

| The recovery area. |
About the time of our last surgery the rain finally stopped. Some of the group decided to wrap up the day with some football/soccer.
