There is no sugar coating it, Covid-19 is causing major issues worldwide both to human health and peoples livelyhoods.

There really is only one topic on everybody’s mind at the moment. Covid-19. The question of whether you can catch the virus from your pet is still being asked. We present the latest information and is your pet “prepared” if you have to leave it in a hurry? Please everybody, keep safe.

It doesn't take much to turn what should have been a foolproof system on its head!

 Saved the dog, almost killed the owner! | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 186

 He Really Had Guts! | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 302

The first day of 2020 and our thoughts are with our close neighbors in Australia dealing with horrendous bush fires. Although we are 4000km to the east, we have a sobering indicator of how bad things are. Today's episode truly falls into the "Believe it or Not" category. I am assured it is a true story, but if not, it makes a good yarn. It took a lot of guts to tell it!

 Taxi | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 384

This event from my distant working past really made me question the value of my professional worth! Saturday night, Old Spice, a hot date and living 20 minutes out of town were just too much for a bachelor client!

 Am I Infectious? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 426

It has been a big week. I have retired from my practice and now intend to spend a lot of time fishing, making cheese and recording podcasts. The format of the podcasts has changed slightly as well and they are now more anecdotal. Think more antipodean James Herriot! In this podcast I have to question my own disease status!

 A life well lived may take its toll on our joints and when hormones get in the way of egg production. | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 432

As we get older, so do our joints and arthritis and stiffness may occur. This is also true for our dogs. Would you recognize early arthritis in your mate? Also, for those of you living “The Good Life” what do you do when your hens become “clucky”?

 "Just the cats whiskers" and How did the cat come back? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 579

“Just the cats whiskers” and “The cat came back the very next day” are both common expressions (at least in New Zealand). In this episode we discuss the function and uses of whiskers for cats and look at “how the cat came back"?
