13th January 2012

Its time to start packing up my cottage and set out for the long drive home.  I am pleased that I have made some headway with the horse book and should have time tomorrow to write some more. I am doing a radio interview with the 3Geese on BBC Radio Bristol on Saturday, working on the yard on Sunday, then heading to London on Monday to see a shelter dog that has a problem in the neck combined with some unwanted behaviours which are limiting her chances of being re homed.

I also need to spend some time on the computer sorting out flights for my upcoming trips and have to see a veterinary specialist with one of my dogs on Tuesday. She was diagnosed with a tumour in the mouth just before Christmas which came completely out of the blue and has been quite a shock and although surgery is a viable option she is almost eleven and I am just not sure whether I can put her through that at her age due to the site of the tumour.  Of course I will discuss all the options before I make up my mind but it’s not going to be straight forward and I hope that I make the right choice for her and not let my own feelings influence my decision.

It’s been wonderful spending some time up here and I met up with two inspiring friends on Sunday who work with animals with physical problems so had a social and educational evening out as well as spending time firmly attached to my keyboard.  The renovations here are coming on well and my interest in another little cottage has got the better of me and I am going to view the property on my way home.

The diary is filling fast and I suspect that 2012 will fly past as quickly as 2011. Christmas already seems a long time ago and I am looking forward to new adventures in the coming year.  Spending my time writing and renovating properties certainly holds a certain appeal but in reality I cannot imagine a time when I don’t do hands on work with animals. It is the best; rewarding on so many levels and the people that I meet are really second to none.

Happy New Year to you all.
