Anyone can make classrooms, we have those too, but offer a hands-on education. Apex College of Veterinary Technology offers an AAS degree program in Veterinary Technology and 2 related professional certificate programs - Veterinary Practice Management and Veterinary Assisting. We also offer a wide variety of Continuing Education options for every level of veterinary professional. The 2 year Veteri

nary Technology program is approved by the Colorado DPOS, fully accredited (not on probation) with our institutional accreditor, and initially accredited (on the first attempt) with the AVMA/CVTEA. Our graduates are eligible to sit for the Veterinary Technician National Exam (VTNE). Our modern and well equipped medical campus is designed to be accessible. Our facilities emulate contemporary veterinary practice in order to set our students up for success in a wide variety of veterinary settings. Our fully functional facilities (open to the public) provide ample opportunity for students to gain skills and confidence on patients requiring medical care - we do not practice on animals that do not need medical care. Our doors are open Monday through Friday during business hours. Students can drop in to study, check out library books, or practice laboratory skills. Medical procedures for real patients are scheduled on Wednesdays and Fridays each quarter. Prospective students are also welcome during business hours, even without an appointment. See what we have to offer! All you need to do is open the door.

Theodore Roosevelt's cat fell asleep in the middle of the White House hallway during a state dinner, and the President of the United States walked every single ambassador around him.

In January 1906, Roosevelt was hosting a diplomatic dinner with ambassadors from the most powerful nations in the world. After the meal, he offered his arm to the wife of the Hungarian ambassador and began the formal procession down the red-carpeted Cross Hall.

That's when he spotted a gray blob in the path ahead. It was Slippers, his six-toed cat, sprawled out and fast asleep.

Roosevelt had a standing rule: no staff member was ever allowed to push, shove, or move the cats from wherever they chose to be.

So the President simply glided his formal march in a wide arc around the sleeping cat - and every single diplomat in the building followed his lead.

Several U.S. states have expanded Good Samaritan laws protecting people who rescue animals trapped inside dangerously hot vehicles. The legal protections were introduced after repeated summer incidents involving dogs suffering or dying from extreme heat exposure.

States including Florida, California, and Tennessee allow rescuers to avoid criminal charges when animals appear to face immediate danger. In many situations, people are expected to contact emergency services first before taking action to remove the animal safely.

Animal safety advocates say the laws encourage faster emergency responses during extreme temperatures. Supporters believe the protections help save pets when every minute inside an overheated vehicle can become life-threatening.
