On Saturday, we had our CPR/First Aid/AED class, which we are required to take to adopt. It was a long day in class, but at least it was snowing outside, so I wasn't longing to be outdoors. It was good to take the class too as the last time I was certified was almost 20 years ago, and procedures have changed. For instance, you no longer perform CPR with two people with one doing compressions and the other doing breaths. Now one person performs compressions and breaths for two minutes and then switches out with the other person. We also got to learn how to use an AED, which is pretty cool.
Unfortunately, being in the class all day left us with little time to do anything else. Sunday ended up not working too well either to get stuff done as Chris had to meet with a client, then drive down past Longmont to meet with the Cairn Terrier Club of Denver. Nevertheless, we both got our certification cards and feel a little more prepared to have a new little one in the house.
