I'm glad to hear it. I really AM good at standing off leg veins
(trust me about that!) but even on my big dogs they're still SO
small, and like to roll so much. Jugulars, OTOH... how can you
possibly miss them?!

This was kind of funny. For his first stick, they shaved a small spot
around his jugular (as I mentioned before he's become inordinately hairy) to
get the hair out of the way. The second time around, they kept poking
about, without being able to find the shaved spot. 'I swear I just shaved a
spot on this dog an hour ago', followed by more poking about. They
eventually found it by finding the jugular first and following it, but I
haven't been able to since.
