Our energetic Jack Russell is unusual for the breed in her affinity for water and her love of swimming. She was desperate to dive in.

The Yorkshire Vet: Rolling back the years and rolling the sleeves up for a road tripI need not have worried about the trip to Caithness. The three-day sojourn was well worthwhile and a lot of fun. I knew the practice and was well acquainted with the idiosyncrasies of the area. The drive from Inverness was exactly as I remembered it. Long, windy (in both senses) but breath-taking.
