Question

9 As I sat with Sphinx, I felt petrified, wondering if I was cut out for veterinarian’s work, but as Sphinx lay there, I was drawn to him. He rolled on his back, and I lightly stroked his belly. He closed his eyes and purred lightly. Then, he did something touching. He curled around my hand, wrapped his legs around my forearm, and rubbed his face against me. A smile emerged on my face, and Dr. Farber walked through the door at that moment and complimented my bedside manner.
