Tex Goes to the Dentist and to the Veterinarian

On February 2, 2016 Tex went to get his annual exam at the Dentist and at the Veterinarian.  Tex and Mrs. Normann-Petersen answered together the following questions:

1.  Where is Tex?  Tex is having his annual exams at Dentist Carmen Kamas and Veterinarian Zachary Clark’s office. 

2. What is the geography like there? Fort Bend County lies in the southeastern part of Texas near the Gulf of Mexico.  There are 17 cities that lie in Fort Bend County.

3. What are typical foods that are eaten there?   What type of foods do you and family and friends like to eat?  Dr. Kamas told us that no food is eaten at the dentist office because patients are getting their annual teeth exams or getting their teeth repaired.  But Dr. Kamas did share with Tex that her favorite food is any type of cupcakes.   Dr. Kamas reminded us that you should always brush your teeth twice a day.

When Tex asked Dr. Clark what his favorite food was, Dr. Clark replied with “unfortunately for Tex it is steaks!”  Mrs.  Normann-Petersen then wanted to know what kind of food longhorns eat.  Dr. Clark said that Longhorns and cows eat mainly grain, grass, and hay.

4. What types of jobs are there?  At the Dentist office there is the receptionist, dental hygienist who is similar to the assistant, and then of course the dentist.  The Veterinarian office has many of the same jobs as the Dentist office.  There is a receptionist, veterinarian technician who is an assistant to the Veterinarian and then of course the Veterinarian.

5. What are the popular sports or games played there?  What popular sports or games interest you, your family, and your friends?  Dentist Kamas enjoys many sports, but hiking mountains is her favorite.  Though Dr. Clark enjoys many sports, his favorite is Aggie Football!!!

6. Where are you going next Tex? Give us a hint and see if we can figure it before you get there! Tex’s clue is at the end of this post.

7. Tex, can you include any pictures of yourself and surrounding area and/or landmarks?  Please see the pictures below of Tex at Dentist Kamas Office and Dr. Clark’s Office.

Here is Tex having his teeth examined by Dentist Kamas.  Tex’s teeth are in good shape and Dentist Kamas found no cavities.  Dentist Kamas informed us that Longhorns do not brush their teeth or floss teeth, but people need to floss once a day and brush their teeth at least twice a day.

Here is Tex waiting for Dr. Clark, the veterinarian, to do his annual checkup.

Dr. Clark listened to Tex’s heart rate.  Dr. Clark said Tex’s heart sounded good and his annual exam went well.  Tex is healthy!

After Dr. Clark Tex’s annual exam Tex needed to be weighed.  He weighed a total of 2 ½ oz.
