Why the Blog?

It is with some trepidation that I join the ever growing league of bloggers on the vast world wide web. Why bother at all? The profession of veterinary medicine can be incredibly fulfilling, intellectually stimulating and a perfect career choice for someone who wants to combine their love of science with their love of animals. Every little girl wants to be a vet when she grows up. What could be better than playing with puppies and kittens all day? The reality is that, although the good stuff definitely outweighs the bad, there are also frustrations, tears and a lot of emotional moments which can make you wonder why on earth you picked the profession in the first place.

This blog is a place for me to share my happy cases, but also my sad cases. It's a place for me to vent and rant if I need to, or to share a laugh if I can. Come along for the ride if you like.
