🙏🏻Please share and help find Archy.
He’s been missing from 15th September and he has a lifelong medical condition which means he has to have a prescription diet and needs his treatment.
He is missing from Saxon Road, Penkridge. Archy is chipped and his owner is very worried. Please see the flyers below to contact for any sightings/further information.
Thank you.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the publication of James Herriot’s books, and around 42 years since the original TV series ‘All Creatures Great and Small’.
No need to check you know of James Herriot, right?
Just a refresh for perhaps the younger crowd😉… James Alfred ‘Alf’ Wight OBE, FRCVS, was a veterinary surgeon who used the pen name ‘James Herriot’! He worked briefly in Sunderland at a vets from 1940 but moved to Thirsk, Yorkshire, where he worked for the rest of his life. He wrote many publications to which one became a TV show.
The vet drama first appeared in the 1970s and now has a new look to coincide with the 50th anniversary of his first published book.📚
📺The series started on Tuesday 1st September and is shown every Tuesday at 9pm! Showing on Channel 5, previous episodes should be available to watch on demand.
The story line is based around newly-qualified vet James as he heads to work in a Yorkshire practice.
Go give it a gander and let us know what you think!🐾

It's a wonderful series. So good to watch something lovely and positive... and with beautiful scenery x
But who was the veterinary advisor to the series's
Love it
Didnt expect much of it after loving the original but really do love it too...
I loved the first series so much I was worried they’d spoil it by redoing it but how wrong I was. It’s brilliant and so lovely to relive these stories again. And the actors so far are fantastic 🥰
Eddie worked with James Herriot,think they knew each other from uni days.
Was worried it wouldn't be as good as the original, but it's better!!! Love it
Eddy Straiton original owner and wonderful vet who I had the pleasure of being one of his customers. Xx
Heres a 1 winged queen bumble bee ive been looking after for 3 months.... Shes now in hibernation for the winter 🥰 #SeeYouIn9Months

Brilliant series👍
My daughter in law Rachel Shenton plays the Vet’s wife Helen in this
I watched the first two episodes yesterday and I loved it. I didn't watch the original programme (I was really young) but I kinda want to find it and watch it now.
Good morning and happy Monday!🌈
Here’s baby River to start your Monday with a smile.☺️

⚠️REMINDER⚠️
A new law meaning it is now mandatory for all horses, ponies and donkeys in England, Wales and Scotland to be micro-chipped.
It enables adequate tracking of owners of abandoned, lost or stolen horses. It will help reunite owners more easily, prevent abuse and improve welfare. If not chipped, you could face a fine up to £200.
‼️⭐️The deadline for England is 1st October 2020.⭐️‼️
Please contact our Large Animal Office team if you need your animal micro-chipping.📞

Beverley Harrison are ours done??
Hannah Louise
Is it a legal requirement for vets, farriers and auctions to check chips?? Surely that should be an essential part of the deal as it should be for dogs and cats? But sadly isn't.
Not all vets are as good as you all are. You are all the most caring people I know not only for the animals that come through your doors but the owners as well. That’s not just the vets it’s all the nurses, kennel staff, the ladies in reception and the admin staff. Some are just out for the money. Even through covid you have been there for us in any situation never closing your doors been there for us in emergencies births and deaths. This is why I wouldn’t go anywhere else
