Hey hope everyone is well. What are everyone's thoughts on the announcement today from the CMA regarding veterinary practices?

What I feel is we have a long way to go to resolve an industry that is broken in many places...

I am sick of hearing people calling others "vet bashers". When did it become wrong to have an opinion. In the same breath we all need to remember if a vet is working for a practice corporate or independent they're still an employee and working to the best of their ability within the constraints of a contract of employment.

Like every corner and profession. There is good and bad in everything. If you weren't aware the rate of su***de is 1 of the highest in veterinary vs any other profession.

So think about what you're saying. Be kind always but that doesn't mean you aren't entitled to instigate meaningful open discussions and debate.

After all our pets are family. Let's try and be part of the solution and yes querying and advocating in your pet's welfare is part of being a good owner xx

Hey hope everyone is well. I'm pretty rubbish at posting but as you all know my priorities are delivering the best therapies to your dogs!

I'm blown away by how many of you are checking in and asking how Woody is doing...

Considering the huge trauma he suffered I'm so pleased with how he is doing. In my remit I know I can't be complacent so I'm still very vigilant and easing him into doing more.

We have officially renamed Sundays as sleep, snuggly Sundays 🤗 Lots of R & R for all 3 of us.

This was literally me yesterday. I don't feel guilty and I make no apologies. I spent the whole of yesterday laying on the sofa with Woody by my side. At no point did I lose contact with his body other than us both needing a toilet break. It was literally pure bliss. Knowing the dog I so nearly lost is here still and recovering.

Gratitude is attitude 🙏 xx

Hey just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone everyone who has checked in with me to see how Woody is doing... He continues to get a little better every day but he's experienced a HUGE trauma. Moreover at 11 years and 8 months old it takes us a lot longer to fully recover. He is a large Greyhound at 39 kg so he is very much a senior 😏

He is very much enjoying R&R at home but did manage to join me at work for a few hours on Saturday. He also took his first walk that lasted approximately 10 minutes. He is still weak and knuckles his hindlimbs BUT this improves every day.

I think in some respects I'm actually more traumatised by it all than Woody 🙈 It has dragged up a lot of dark memories of losing Grayson just after his 7th birthday...

I'm beyond relieved and pleased Woody is alive and survived. I am human though and trying to go back to normal whilst still being worried about Woody has made this tough.

Here he is chilling on the sofa. Also the picture of his CT scan. The blue arrow shows a normal lung. The orange points towards all the fluid and inflammation he had on his other lung.

So if I'm a bit off, guarded or cagey when someone says "oh good glad he's better".This is why. He is alive thank god 🙏 🙌 ❤

However he is very much still recovering and so am I and Misty. So a little thought before saying what you think is appropriate would be much appreciated 🙂 xx

Hey hope everyone is well. Last week on Monday my dog Woody almost died due to aspiration pneumonia.

Please take the time to listen to my video. It describes in detail what to look out for and covers in detail some key considerations for all dog owners... xx

Just adding here - please SHARE the hell out of this. If it helps save just 1 dogs life it will be so rewarding xx

Hey hope everyone is well. Apologies if this is a long read...

This last week has been a real rollercoaster. Firstly I need to let you all know that last Wednesday 30th July marked my 6 year anniversary ❤

The journey has been f*cking wild!! I made it though (just)! The challenges and sh*t that has been thrown at me relentlessly is something I hope to make into a book some day. Definitely going to need to change some names though 🤭🤭🤫🤫🙈🙈

I'm going to be super honest with you all now. I absolutely love with every part of my being what I do. It is so much more than a job to me. HHH is my baby and I would literally die for what I have created. It means so much more to me than many will ever know.

I literally eat, sleep and breathe my business. Yes totally my choice but I wholeheartedly believe that my passion and love for each and every patient is what truly sets me apart.

Currently with a relentless sequence of events beyond my control it has been hard to keep smiling. A lot of the events being equipment failures costing significant sums to replace or rectify.

The behind the scenes stuff is really ugly and gritty right now. I haven't a clue why so many obstacles are being thrown in my path... I trust in the universe though 🙏 There will be a reason why it is all happening at once.

Currently I'm just doing my level best to keep my head above water - mentally and physically. On that premise I'm currently sat outside having a little mental health break because frankly I just need air, to breathe and get myself together ready to come out fighting again tomorrow.

What I want to say most of all is a huge THANK YOU to each and every owner and patient. Past, present and future. Without you it's not a business! The clients who take time to check in on me some who's dogs I stopped treating years ago or who have long since gone.

Everyone of you makes the house in HHH my home. Thank you ❤️

Hey hope everyone is well. Been a little while but as usual we've been super busy in clinics with our usual clients and all the lovely new ones 😊

Some of you may or may not know that a few years ago I lost my lovely boy Grayson after a short but turbulent battle with a suspected autoimmune disease just after turning 7.

Anyway some conversations regarding him have come up in the last couple of days. Moreover last night I found myself reflecting and quite tearful thinking about my loss.

When he initially died I was so angry. I felt so upset because I felt his life had been stolen and taken away far too soon. What seismically shifted the process was when I was able to be grateful for every single second I had him in my life.

Having lost so many hydro dogs now and walked the path of grief with so many owners. If I was asked advice on how to cope with the grief and loss of a dog now. Focus on all the love, the good times and how lucky you've been to have known them...###x

Hope you're all well... despite all the bullsh*t and madness this is how I feel every day.

I'm so blessed to have 2 of the most beautiful and kind souls in Misty and Woody.

Every morning without fail I thank them and take about 15 minutes listening and watching them breathe.

It's maybe my own version of meditation 🧘‍♀️ it works. If your dog is getting older cherish every bloody moment because 1 day they won't be here anymore... xx

Hey lovely people I hope you're all managing to stay cool in the heat... I'm doing admin at home today.

The pups have barely moved. Curtains closed and the windows. We have the fan going and luckily it has remained a respectable temperature...

Nonetheless the hounds have decided other than wee and poo outings they ain't moving 🤭🤣 xx

Hey hope everyone is well. It's been a while we've been super busy in clinics but I need to post this...

Last week 1 of the most special HHH dogs crossed the rainbow bridge. Ollie was 1 of the most loving and brave dogs I've ever had the fortune to treat. Our journey started in January 2023 when he came for post op cruciate surgery rehabilitation...

We successfully rehabbed him and continued weekly hydro to help him with osteoarthritis. Sadly last year he developed intermittent left forelimb lameness. After assessing him in a physical therapy clinic I knew something might be very seriously wrong. So I referred him back to his vets where he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma.

After seeing Aura referral specialists it was decided to amputate his leg and start chemotherapy. Ollie bucked all the odds. He survived his treatment and we were able to help with hydro which was his happy place. Sadly we recently discovered his cancer had metastisized into his lungs...

Last week I had the honour to share the most special last dance and swim with Ollie. I didn't say goodbye I told him until next time...

Run free Ollie you were such an inspiration and part of my journey as a therapist and a person. Everyone should be more Ollie. You will be forever missed. Sleep tight ###x

In loving memory of Ollie 1.5.2012 - 14.6.2025

I'm not sure if you owners should feel honoured and privileged or traumatised 🤭🤭🤫🤫🤪🤪 xx
