Happy Halloween!

Twas the weekend before Halloween and a quiet little village outside Edinburgh was descended upon by people dressed in funny outfits...

A great night of fancy dress, fun food, pumpkin making (isn't he beautiful! I made him all by myself, and yes, he does just have one eyebrow) and ducking for apples.

Do you like the hat?...

And that's a wrap!

Ahh, first small animal practical of the year: bandaging!


An hour and a half of wrapping poor wee doggies up in lots of cotten wool, and bandages to create a supportive work of art.


The dog to the left is Angus and that big blue thing is my first bandage. (No, he's not dead or even sedated-He's a vet student's dream!). Hoorah. Angus is one of the nurse's dogs and clearly is bored with the whole event, whilst also enjoying the fuss and cheeky biscuits. He's a nine year old springer spanial and has been one of the student's subjects since he was a pup. I'm sure if only they could talk, I'm sure he could tell me exactly what to do step by step!

Here he is post-bandaging: still a happy chappy.














This here is scruff. I think the girls had the good deal here-not only their first bandage, but the smallest I reckon!





Now all that's left to do is re-roll out bandages and take them home to attack an unsuspecting flatmate or partner. Watch out!
