Karl's corner
This is the place where I share my latest news and thoughts online. My aim is to give our clients an insight into the latest goings on here at Saint Leonard Veterinary Centre, and also to bring to their attention any matters I think important concerning the healthcare of their pets. I hope you find […]
Hi everyone, welcome to another ‘Karls Corner’ blog; I hope it finds you all hale and hearty? No doubt you’ve all heard that from Friday 24th July it became compulsory to wear a face mask/covering in all shops and supermarkets, an additional measure to having to wear them on public transport. Many people have managed […]
Having shone the spotlight on Man’s Best Friend (much to my Betty and Poppy’s delight), I thought I’d better balance it out by celebrating the stars of the cat kingdom; I can’t have Ziggy-puss upset, can I? All felines are fantastic, so please don’t be upset that the Exotic Shorthair, Scottish Fold and Ragamuffin haven’t […]
Just in case my colleagues or wife dob me in (and no doubt Jesse would if he could!), I’m just going to make my confession to you all right now. I have, on occasion – and that’s all I’m admitting to publicly! – been guilty of browsing t’interweb and watching those entertaining ‘fluff’ videos. I’m […]
During the Covid-19 lockdown situation we’ve all found our lives turned upside down; a full-on 180 degree spin that’s seen many changes happen – not least to how and where we’ve been able to exercise. I’m sure that I’m not alone when I say that with the gym/pool/sports club out-of-bounds, I have run and walked […]
You may recall the recent occasion where the Kitty and Canine Underhill clan members banded together and hijacked this blog, ‘celebrating’ having their humans around more during lock-down and therefore having their every whim met? Let me assure you all that normal service has been resumed and Karl (yours truly) is King once more, of […]
We love our cats, and one of the most common ways we show them this is with food. Unfortunately, it’s all too easy for us to over-do things, and whilst (hopefully!) we don’t normally literally kill kitty with kindness, we do need to be mindful of our actions. It isn’t hard to provide the purr-fect […]
Yo peeps/humans/bipeds/whatever you wanna identify as; it’s Ziggy Underhill here……… coolest cat on the block! Me and my homies have hi-jacked Dad Karls blog – his own fault really, he left his desk to have dinner with ‘da fam’ and forgot to turn the tech off J. You snooze, you lose chap; the blog is […]
Hello out there! I just thought I’d fill you in on the SLVC teams’ take on lockdown, social distancing and working in the Covid-19 situation as a whole. I’ve called it “Corona Capers”, rather wittily I think, because although “Corona Calamities” sounded just as catchy (definitely no pun intended!) we simply don’t entertain calamities of […]
Well folks, it’s official; social distancing and lockdown measures are set to continue for at least another 3 weeks, thanks to Covid-19. I know I’ve said it before, but I really am fascinated by the large scale disruption that something as microscopically tiny as the Corona Virus can cause; I can’t help it, it’s the […]
