Let Sleeping Dogs Lie!
[ August 26, 2008; ] The summer holiday season always seems to be the commonest time of year for children and adults to get bitten by our pets. But what is it that gets into the minds of our canine and feline friends to make them suddenly turn aggressive? In one word: Visitors.

I, like most dog fans, am very interested in watching tonight’s screening of ‘Pedigree Dogs Exposed’ on BBC1 at 9pm.

The UK’s Top Cat!
[ August 19, 2008; ] In the last 35 years, I’ve always found myself around pets. Either my own pets, other people’s, even studying what goes on inside and outside of them; but whatever the reason, they never fail to interest me and I constantly end up learning more and more about them.
But what’s even more fascinating to me is [...]
Old Cat Problems?
[ August 12, 2008; ] A few weeks ago when I was vetting away in Hailsham, a lovely young intelligent couple entered my consulting room nervously carrying their loaded cat-basket.
After carefully placing the good ol’ fashioned wicker carrier on my examination table and undoing its three rusty fiddly clasps, out strode an old thin female tortie and white cat called [...]
