I finally feel like I’m coming out of hibernation and this year it seems so late for some reason. The huge toad migration in the woods happened a few weeks ago and the tadpoles are just hatching in the streams. We had a pond put in last spring and some of you may remember that I gathered some tadpoles from the woods to put in there and was very maternal when I saw the gorgeous frog we had at the end of it. This year the pond has obviously flourished and a few weeks ago there was a huge pile of spawn sitting among the plants. I may be a very sad person but this pleased me immensely and every day now I have the therapy of going to the pond and watching my babies.
The cycle of nature and life is something that never ceases to make me smile and spring is probably my favourite time of year. Because of the boys I end up walking for miles every day and anyone who spends time outside will notice the seasons changing and the changes in the countryside. Pan has had his first clip of the year and is now looking at his most handsome and wolf-like. As a point of interest, if any of you have dogs with very thick or long coats, even if they’re not a traditionally clipped breed or type, it’s worth considering it. We started doing Pan about seven years ago and it makes an absolutely massive difference to his demeanour and also his enjoyment of exercise. Be warned that because of differences in colour underneath the top layer of fur you often end up with a dog that looks strikingly different but still beautiful all the same.
At the end of last year the BBC filmed a series looking back at Vets in Practice and what everyone is up to now. Scheduling went a bit awry but it is now set to be shown. The series will be on weekly, probably on BBC2 and will start on May 14th at 7.30pm. I know that it used to be incredibly popular and thought you might like to catch up on all of us. Having been involved I can say it is shaping up to be a great series and a good, light-hearted look at something that started small and became almost a national institution!
Well, the boys are, as always, waiting patiently for their morning walk so I must go. The walks this week have been a bit slower than usual on account of a severe lameness on my part due to my rubbish attempt to play ice-hockey at the foolish age of 36. I realise now that having not skated for probably twenty years, having odd-shaped feet and very hard boots doesn’t do much to help your chances of comfort afterwards. It must be said that it was excellent fun though and once my blisters have healed I might try again, maybe with padding and some coaching this time!
