Something I have never thought of but a wonderful concept
If a dog needs blood during a veterinary operation, where does it come from? I have to say, this isn’t a question I’ve ever asked myself before but, when you think about it, it’s a great question. The answer is the Pet Blood Bank UK They run a regional blood doning service for canines and our incredibly brave boy, Barney, gave his first donation yesterday. He was amazing and the staff are just so caring. They spoilt him with treats, made sure he was comfortable at all times and afterwards he got to choose a toy to take home and a bag of treats. That’s in addition to his neckerchief, obviously! After a snoozy afternoon he’s now back to his bright and happy self 😊 Not one person I’ve spoken to have heard about the service and I’d like to do as much as I can to raise awareness. I know that if Barney were ever in need, these guys would be there for him. So please, re-post or share this with your networks. I know it’s not an especially LinkedIn type post but there are a lot of dog lovers and owners in my network. https://lnkd.in/exxkiTre #bravebarney #petbloodbank

I am fortunate to have so many exceptional women in my life both professionally and personally. This International Women’s Day I would like to celebrate the one and only Dawn McCormick - my partner in crime, closest friend, counsellor, confidante and rock. An powerhouse of a woman - kind, wise and so much fun. The world would be a better place with more Dawns in it but unfortunately they broke the mould when they made her.
