We treated a couple of lion cubs at our clinic from a touring circus. They were with us for 2 weeks and were getting rather big and strong by then !! Not sure if they are famous though

They then got on my train to Bolton and i got Peter's autograph on my digestive system booklet!!!! I had no scrap paper with me!!! Should have got Paddy's too... felt guilty afterwards!!! xx

I remember turning Jilly Goolden (?) away for flea treatment one Saturday evening. This was before Frontline was downgraded. She'd just picked up 2 cats and they were riddled. Sorry, no can do.

Noone other than that

Where did you work??? Most of these people were clients at the 1st practice i ever worked in in cranleigh surrey????? Julie Walters, but only ever saw her boyf, Ringo Starr I remember we spayed his dog, and he came to collect her, and we all fought over who would give her out...ended up being 1 vet and 2 nurses! ha ha! and Phil Collins too but i never saw him.

Bit more boring here in Spain, we have Dolph Lundgren (he has a dog named Bimbo!) a footballer called Vinnie Samways (name means nothing to me, but lovely family!) and a guy out of the 1st series of big brother!!! whoo hoo, I know it's very exciting! ha ha

I once served Shane Williams, Welsh rugby star without even noticing.

He said he'd come in for worming tablets for his girlfriend's dog, I did notice he was in a grey reebok shell jacket with the WRU logo on it, but didn't really think much about it!

I asked the surname, he said, "well, my girlfriend's name is griffiths (or whatever it was ), but my name is WIlliams".....obviously waiting for me to get the hint, but I didn't!!!

I ended up giving him the tablets & carrying on whatever I was doing...!
When I went out the back after & said that this guy in a WRU kit had come in & decribed him, lots of the girls went nuts that I didn't go & get them!

[/quote]

thats so funny! one of the 'local deejaaays' was a bit like that when he came in. almost i kind of 'do u know who i am' type vibe.
