I have found it far easier than I ever imagined and in a way, I do wish I had done it a long time ago!

My son represents a true ‘Millenial’ as I learn from one of the lectures I attended at Vetfest that was given by the Head Nurse at Fitzpatrick Referrals

He is such a lovely man and I felt a little ‘starstruck’ when I stopped to speak to him about what he had said in one of his talks

Today’s chance meeting could not have been more different – she was smiling and back to her cheerful lovely self

It is June and all the roadside poppies are out – they calmed my anxiety by their sheer beauty on my drive in to work

I tried yoga for the first time and loved it – followed it up with a delicious vegan burger

It was both beautiful and emotional to witness and every year around this time I wonder why a small grey cloud hangs over me

I felt all their pain – the euthanasia was so very poignant as Pippa licked her owner’s nose as she was being told how much they loved her

As vets we deal so much with death and illness and not being able to make your own loved ones better when we know how to make animals better plays heavily on us as professionals

No thought for what I was eating or how much….and never actually tasting the sweets or chocolates or biscuits I was bingeing on!
