		<description><![CDATA[I will never forget my first encounter with the RSPCA, which occurred a great many years ago when I was a very young vet and had just set up in practice. That night I happened to be out with a friend of mine and we were in a pub not many miles from West Hanningfield in Essex.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style" addthis:url='http://vetblog.co.uk/vetblog/my-very-first-rspca-call-out-tweetathon-2011-entry' addthis:title='My Very First RSPCA Call Out. { Tweetathon 2011 Entry. }' ><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have been concerned over the last week or so because of noises from within the house in the early hours and finding various doors within the house open when I knew I had closed them last thing at night. The first time it happened I was so concerned I mobilised our local armed security personnel, but no sign of intruders!<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style" addthis:url='http://vetblog.co.uk/vetblog/the-cat-who-can-open-doors' addthis:title='The Cat Who Can Open Doors. { video }' ><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What I personally found most poignant was the graves of the much loved dogs which were pets and mascots of the British pilots who fought in the first world war, they seem to have been buried with full military honours. The poignancy lies in the fact that the odds are that the young carefree pilots of that era were more than likely to join their pets in that great officer's mess up in the sky a short time afterwards.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style" addthis:url='http://vetblog.co.uk/vetblog/famous-dogs-barry-the-st-bernard-the-paris-pet-cemetary' addthis:title='Famous Dogs – Barry The St. Bernard, The Paris Pet Cemetary.' ><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; &#160; This is not something I had never heard of in the UK but yes they do exist, mainly in the USA I hear. Animal chaplains work on an interdenominational basis and a very obvious role would be counseling people on the loss or euthanasia of their pet, I have done my fair share of that over the years as will most small animal vets. Without doubt this is a valuable service but it takes time to carry this out in a sympathetic basis, time most small animal vets just do not have in a busy day. Another obvious role would be at memorial services and burials for animals. Some animal chaplains have their own congregations and are affiliated to a particular religion and can  incorporate the bond between animals and man in their services. Animals after all give us unconditional love and the basis of any religion is love and respect for our Creator and those we share our planet with. Children in particular by learning from the animals in our homes can become better and more well adjusted people. And yes, some animal chaplains do allow dogs at their Sunday services. Other animal chaplains outreach into the [...]<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style" addthis:url='http://vetblog.co.uk/vetblog/animal-chaplains' addthis:title='Animal Chaplains' ><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a></div>]]></description>
