………and salt on the hidden grave

There was a comment on a previous posting that things might be winding down. Not a good thing to say before a weekend on call. I started on Friday night with a cow that had abdominal pain. So once that was sorted out I had a little sleep until 5:30am when a whelping bitch woke me up and I was managing that 'til consults started at 9am. Those finished at 2pm. Then I had a horse with colic that required two visits. An RTA dog and a pup with a suspected broken leg. Then another colic horse 70km away with a friend who managed to cut his shoulder. The evening finished at 10:30 pm with a cat that was dead on arrival. There were a few others in the list, enough so that breakfast was at 4pm as I hadn’t had a chance to stop all day. I entirely blame this on the person who asked if things were winding down. To this end I am going to find said person kill them and bury them in an unmarked grave, I might even pour salt on the ground where I leave them. I am joking about the last bit honestly! (mostly)

No pictures that’s how busy I was!

Terribly sorry, didn't mean to jinks you... ;-) (Just wanted to share the wealth of being up all day and night - an annoying recent trend and sharpish reminder of why I'm habitually single!)

I think there are more than a few folk looking for me for said reason... hence the latest moniker - Wicked Witch of the West! I owe you next time our paths cross.
