Have prob told it on here before but when registering a PDSA client's new puppy over the phone, I asked her, "What breed is he?" Her reply was, "Well my love, 'is mum is a roight scruffy little thing, but when ee grows up, ee's going to be a Labrador."

Had visions of little black crossbreed puppy attending Labrador school, passing his Labrador exams...

Could not for love nor money find the records of a client's foal that I bloody well knew was registered on the practice pc...

Only after about half an hour of searching under both the 'large animal' and 'equine' sections, did I try the small animal section, where I eventually found it...

Turns out that the receptionist who had registered it had added it under 'small animals' as it was 'only a foal, not a full grown horse!'

Are these really true? Almost too true to be real?! But funny anyway.... ... and believable.....

This is a seemingly true story told by one of my vet friends....

A lady was looking after her daughter's much loved (surrogate child) SBT whilst the daughter was on holiday. During that time the dog died unexpectadly. The lady phoned her daughter's vet to arrange a cremation but was told she would have to bring the dog to the surgery for it.

Being a small lady, who didn't drive, she wondered the best way to take the dog to the vet. Best plan she could think of was to put the dog in a suitcase with wheels and get on the train. Everything going well until she had to get into the train......suitcase too heavy for her to lift on alone.

Along comes nice young man who helps her and her suitcase onto the train. During the journey, they get talking and he asks why the suitcase was so heavy - what could such a small lady have in it??

Thinking quickly, she said that she had record decks in it as she was a professional DJ (bear in mind this woman is late 60s!!!) They had a whole conversation about music, clubs, DJs, Ibiza and she seemed quite pleased that she had managed to avoid saying "there's a dead dog in my case!"

When the train stopped, the young man offered to help her off the train with the case. He waited with her til the train stopped, got off, picked up her case.........and fled with it!!! Obviously believing he had a set of decks worth thousands!!

I would love to have seen the look on his face when he opened the case!! I would also have loved to be a fly on the wall when the lady had to explain it all to her daughter......"Sorry darling, not only is your prized pet dead but he's been stolen!"

A client advised to apply the pipette of frontline to the back of the neck. He called me back the following day asking how he was supposed to keep it on, to which I was confused. He brought the dog to the clinic and had sellotaped the actual pipette to the dog's neck
