Rina's last day :(

Rina

Today (28th August 2014) is a very sad day for us as our lovely receptionist Rina is retiring. In fairness we dragged her out of retirement to help us when we opened the practice and then have been in denial ever since that she would leave us. If you see her today please wish her luck and tell her we will miss her. We received this lovely message is from her son ...

Today my mother is retiring from work. If I ever meet anybody who works as hard as she does I'd be surprised. She kept the farm going on her own for a long time, she had her heart broken by people who were lucky to be in her life ( I was there so I know what happened). She moans a lot, has her tantrums and absolutely lives her animals more than anything (this sounding a bit familiar?!). Not many people know she has a degree after studying in Bangor and the O.U. She paid off her student loan by cleaning the White Lion pub every morning.
She won't stop working - she still has her own cows to look after (she would never ever be without her cows!!). So if you see her about tell her congratulations on retiring and tell her she can do my ironing now....

Dog Show 2014 - Photos and Results!!!!

What a great day and we were very lucky with weather (unlike last year!).  A huge thank you to everyone for showing up to our dog show and to support our wonderful charity Greenfields Greyhound Rescue who you raised over £250 for!

You can see the photos of the day on either Google or Facebook.

Sadly several of these dogs were looking for a home when we had our (aborted) dog show this time last year. 

 

Greenfields Greyhound Rescue at our Dog Show - Thank you

This gorgeous chap is Clyde the greyhound and he sent this message to us (WITH BITS IN BRACKETS FROM US!)

Clyde

On behalf of Greenfields Greyhound Rescue Clyde sends a MASSIVE thank you to Holmes & Murphy for a wonderful Dog Show on Sunday – for all their hard work organising the day and for very kindly donating the proceeds to us, to Lee for all his help and photos, to Cymru Ices for their donation, and to everyone who attended for their support and for some very generous donations. To date we have raised almost £260, with Sarah and Fiona generously giving us £150, and the possibility of more to come. We are a small rescue organisation so this is a huge help to us. Thank you so much.

Congratulations to all the rosette winners and all the entrants. We enjoyed meeting some lovely dogs – and people too of course! Clyde has just about got over his embarrassment of winning Dashingest Dog! (well deserved if you ask us!) And thank you to his young friend for helping him win the Musical Sit – but I’m afraid he failed to get her name!

Air Conditioning!

Just a quick thank you for your patience with our super hot consult rooms over the past few weeks but as of last night we have had the air conditioning installed.  We're sure its a coincidence that we wake up this morning to heavy rain and warnings of a possible hurricane!

We have also had air conditioning installed into the separate cat and dog wards. 

A not very interesting picture of an air con unit!

Thank you from St Davids Hospice to everyone that attended the Woofs & Wellies Sponsored Walk

We received a very nice picture and certificate today from St David's Hospice as a thank you to everyone that attended their Woofs & Wellies Walk
