Tonight’s Yorkshire vet is another cracker. And I am incredibly proud to have been asked to open the new reptile house at Kirklees college, absolutely chuffed to bits, there was a plaque too! 😊 What a surprise! An incredible effort by an awesome team and such a terrific facility! 🐍🦖🐢🦎🦕🐉🐠🐟
And there’s also Andrew the wallaby who needs his bits off! More to come!! 🦘🦘 Enjoy!

Hope you’ve all had a smashing weekend! A few pictures from my first year as Emley show president, what an experience it was! I think I did okay 😂
Big thank-you to everyone that made it a brilliant day and a huge shout out to the incredible team that put it together!
And trying to pick a winner from an incredible grand parade was very hard! The enormous effort that goes into bringing animals to these shows, the training, the trimming and the early starts, huge congratulations to you all! 👏👏
Bring on 2027!

Thanks to all of you that have donated so far! Just 1 week to go until Tough Mudder 2026!! 🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️💦💦
This is what your kind donations are going to support, and for those of you that didn’t know (even I didn’t to be honest!) , a lot of the RSPCA charities are actually independent charities that are self funded and run and actually separate from the national RSPCA!
And the @rspca_halifaxhuddsbradford team is one of them!

Here’s the link below to donate, let’s smash that £1,000 target! (If you’re seeing this on Instagram, the link will be in my stories or you can copy and paste!!)
