"Are you okay?" Alyssa asked, concern all over her face. "Animals are going to die, hun, and sometimes there is nothing we can do about it and sometimes there will be things we can do about it, but the owners can't pay up. But we are here because we can save some of them! Remember that weimaraner that came in with the twisted gut and everything looked bleak for him, but you saved him. The puppy with parvo who was on the door of death, or that scrawny jack russel that was infested with heart worms? We're her to save those animals! Now we can't save every animal that comes through that door, but we can save others. We can help their owners caterer to their needs and make their lives as long and as happy as possible, but not everyone is going to be able to be saved." Alyssa phased for her breath, "Were are not miracle works or god, not even saints or angles. We are only human. Humans who care and want to help as much as possible, but we can only be as great as the tools we are given. That is the flaw of being human." She smiled encouragingly at Ashely, hopping her speech was not received in the wrong way. She then stepped away from the door, nodding to Norm as she passed him. She walked into the well light lab, needing some alone time herself. She sat down in a chair next to a powerful microscope, leaning in to look at what was in the pietri disk bellow it. Some skin samples from a dog that had come with suspected mange lay on it, nothing special. Alyssa fiddled with the controls, bringing it in and out of focus.
