Scampy
Jack Russell

This is Scampy, our 12 year old Jack Russell. She's getting on a bit, but still as spritely and energetic as when she was younger. She loves her long walks, dried tripe, and like most jack russells, loves chasing rabbits, squirrels and birds.

Ellie
Weimaraner

This is Ellie, the beautiful Weimaraner who belongs to one of my favourite clients. Ellie has been through a lot but has always been the perfect patient, which in combination with a devoted client like Jan makes them a star couple!

Ruby Scrumptious
Cross Breed

Ruby Scrumptious is a Chihuahua/Yorkie cross & was rehomed at the age of 16 weeks after the first owner had bought a "handbag" dog and found it didn't fit into her lifestyle! Ruby had "issues" after not having been walked or socialised & being pulled about by a toddler & dropped by the 5yrs old neices from a height (we saw this as we knocked at the door!)...Ruby Scrumptious has been hosting Chihuahua & Toydog meetups around London to help other little dogs find friends & socialise etc and was on the cover of London Dog Tails this month as well as being featured in other doggie magazines & newspapers. Ruby Scrumptious is a real "mummy's girl" and a bit of a bossy boots still despite lots of training!

BIG BUNNY

Daddy's Girl is reckoned to be the UK's biggest rabbit, tipping the scales at a needle busting 26lbs 7oz. She is on her to a place in Guinness Book of Records. The 18 month old superbunny belongs to Vanessa and Eddie Barden and their son, David, aged 11 from Bexhill, East Sussex. To secure her place in the record books her weight must be checked by two vets. One of them, Karen Kasswell said: "She's bigger than some of the dogs I treat. She's in very good condition. She's not actually overweight, just a very large example of her breed."

Lucy Retires

In the papers is that David Blunkett’s beautiful black Labrador is retiring. The guide dog is almost nine and has decided it’s time for her to put her paws up and have a well- earned rest. Ironically she was once reprimanded by the Speaker in the Commons for vomiting during a Tory speech. I’m sure she’s not the only one who has felt a rush of nausea at such a moment! Guide dogs are truly amazing to me and all the other dogs which help improve the lives of so many people. One of my favourite books as a child was ‘Emma and I’. It is the true story of a woman and her guide dog and the stories in it are incredible. I have done quite a few fairs for the Guide Dogs for the Blind and all such charities are worthy of our support. In fact this Saturday the 13th of October will find me at the Hatherly Community centre in Cheltenham opening the annual GDFTB charity fair. If you’re in the area, come along and part with some cash!

Monty Python

A vet's surgery is always full of funny stories. I remember once we had a nine foot python - called Monty, of course (they all are!) on the operating table. It was sedated and we were trying to solve a problem with its jaw when all of a sudden it came round and started lashing around the room. It took six of us to grab hold of him and get him into a cage. It was quite frightening at the time but looking back it seems hilarious.

What's in a name

As anyone who goes to the vet's regularly will know, the system of calling out for the next patient is slightly odd. It's usually the animal's name like Rover and the surname of the owner say Milne. So you shout out Rover Milne. Well, a few weeks ago we had someone come in with their pet hamster called Fluffy and believe it or not the surname of the owner was Beaver, so the nurse had to go into the waiting room and shout Fluffy Beaver! You can imagine the giggles...
