A few years ago, I was on the phone with Megan, a vet tech at the clinic. She made mention of being on the backroads and saw (wait for it) a pink….squeeze….chute. No joke, and it didn’t look like someone’s idea of a practical joke. Someone had taken the thing apart, sanded it down, painted it, and then reassembled in all its rosy glory. When I asked if she had taken any photos, she had not, but promised to get me some the next time she was out that way. Imagine my joy when I found these waiting in my inbox…

In my line of work, I see a lot of John Deere green, barn red, and camouflage for those that want to add a little zing to their ride, but never in my life have I seen a hot pink squeeze chute. I can think of only two reasons for this:

• They get higher pregnancy percentages using this chute as the rosy bloom encourages maternal thoughts.
• This chute will never ever be stolen.

Whatever the real reason, however, I hope you’ve gotten as big a chuckle out of this as I have!
