Charlie the Cockapoo
My receptionist Angela is getting a name for herself amongst my staff as a puppy pincher because she insists on cuddling every puppy that comes through the door! Sometimes it is quite difficult for the owners to get their puppy back off her to take it home!
This is Charlie the Cockapoo being cuddled by Angela. A Cockapoo is a cross between a Poodle and Cocker Spaniel, he is just 12 weeks old. He has just attended our puppy party- a single group session arranged and run by Amie Dyer for new pups between 8 and 12 weeks old. Puppy party provides information for owners and a chance for the pups to play.
I have been getting Angela back for her puppy cuddling by making sure I visit her first when I have been outside playing in the mud so I can help her with her paperwork!
Some breeds of us felines are very beautiful, like myself! We were recently visited by Rosie a 14 and a half year old Persian cat. Now whilst I am classed as domestic short haired feline (although I am far from average), Rosie is a pedigree and Persian cats are known for their beautiful long coats. Rosie came in to see vet Laura because she didn’t allow her owners to groom her everyday. Understandable-we do have minds of our own you know and don’t like to be messed with! Because Rosie has such a long coat she had got lots of matted fur on her sides, tail and neck. Laura gave the go ahead for her to be admitted to undergo a de-matt and to be sedated so she didn’t get too stressed out.
Here is Rosie after being de-matted by my lovely nurses- she still has her head and tail fur but is rather lighter in between!
Rosie’s owners bought in a little jumper for Rosie to keep her warm after her clip- I rather like it, I am hoping maybe my staff will get me one to keep the chills away in this cold weather. I will however do without the de-matt, being brushed is bad enough! It just goes to show us felines manage to be stylish despite adversity!

Tiny Lacey King!!
My days are never boring! We have furry beings of all shapes and sizes coming through the door. This is rather a contrast to Boscoe the big Bull Mastiff!
This is Lacey King, the 4 and a half month old female Chihuahua who weighs just 1.42kgs! She has been visiting us monthly for weigh and worm checks with our nurses in green.
Lacey is one of 3 Chihuahua’s owed by Miss King. She also has Marley who is 9 months old and Minky who is 1 year 9 months old.
Sitting on reception is by no means a permanent thing- I am after all bigger than them and could chase them off if they got too comfortable!

- Big Boscoe Shelton-Brown
Now this big Bull Mastiff would normally be the stuff of cats nightmares…..but Boscoe is not to me! Now 1 year and 3 months old and weighing in at 53.4kg, he has been coming to visit me and my staff at Clent Hills since he was 6 weeks old when he weighed just 5.10 kg!! He attended one of Clent Hills puppy parties and although a little calmer now is still a big softie!!
Boscoe came on his last visit to us the other day as he is going stateside! He is moving to Houston, Texas with his owners! We have been seeing him recently to get him registered and issued with his pet passport.
Safe travels Boscoe and happy times in Texas to you and your owners.
