The dogs she currently has are two lovely Weimaraner’s called Tarn and Bay. In Feb 2017, she was invited to China to give a lecture to veterinary surgeons and nurses to help improve the handling, care and standards of veterinary practice. They managed to make some great changes and from the feedback she has had since returning to the UK there are groups of people setting up governing bodies equivalent to our British Veterinary Nursing Association to help recognise the role and improve the standard of care including the behaviour and handling of animals in China.
