What a great start to the week! Yesterday we definitely did
not have that Monday feeling.
Today at the surgery we held an All-Day Tea Party to
celebrate Veterinary Nursing Month 2013, not that they would let me, Stumpy,
carry the cakes! They said with my track record I’d better stay in the office - honestly. This year is the 50th anniversary of the profession so
well worth celebrating I think. After much deliberation the ‘grown ups’ decided
to have a tea party. I think it’s because we all love our cakes and a good pot
of tea!
Monies were agreed to split between our chosen charity for
2013: Hounds for Heroes www.houndsforheroes.com and The Blue
Cross for Pets Paws for Tea Campaign www.bluecross.org.uk
The Blue Cross was chosen for 2 reasons 1). This month
across the country they are encouraging people to hold charity tea parties 2).
They are currently doing some great outreach work with teenagers encouraging
them to look at the issues surrounding ‘status dogs’, and teaching them general
pet welfare. So far over 30,000 teenagers have taken part in their road-shows.
The four legged brigade said all their owners have spent the
weekend baking, with delicious smells coming from their kitchens, and even the
odd falling treat! Lovely Dawn co-ordinated the setting up. I offered to blow
up the balloons – well…you can imagine the response. I even offered to guard
the cakes but yes you guessed…back to the office. Tea, coffee and cakes were
served downstairs all day with lots of our great clients just popping in to say
hello.
You should have seen Bracket’s mum’s cake. WOW. A
masterpiece, with mini nurses and lots of the pets we treat to decorate it.
Clever clogs you live with Bracket!
Lisa, my office slave, was on CWR radio with Vic Minnett to
talk about our cakes – my mouth was watering.
After my afternoon nap guess what Dawn came up with… you’ve
guessed it a slice of cake all for me.
The diet starts tomorrow!
PS We raised
£100.00 for our chosen charities.
