My Passion is sometimes my Greatest Source of Pain.

We have had a very harsh past month.
Extremely problematic and difficult cases.
Some clients who you have been with the entire journey of the animals life.
The Tragedy and Decisions and you are so humbled that you feel you have failed. 😞
Despair and Depression are constant partners.
I constantly pray for courage and strength.
Then God puts you in the right place at the right time.
You Witness birth, life and new beginning.
Your hope sores and I take strength and meaning from the moment and birth.
New Life is a promise for a better tomorrow.
Thank You God for my Vocation and calling.

We pay Our Rates and Taxes but are still so disadvantaged by Corruption and Lack of Service delivery. The Municipal Audit’s released this week are scary. Friday last week and Tuesday yesterday. R8929.63 spent on diesel to keep the lights on and biologicals cold to service the Community and Animals we attend to !
No wonder people leave. We loose Business, Employment opportunities and Tax surely the GNU must Know and Understand we need to fix and not Continue the mistakes and madness of the past 30 years.
We can unite behind the Bokke let’s UNITE as a Country .

VET's NIGHTMARE !!!!
SALUTE and RESPECT to ALL VETS !!!!
If you’ve never had to look into the eyes of a pet as you inject euthanasia solution, you shouldn’t be deciding how much veterinarians make.
If you have never zipped up body bags on a shift, you shouldn’t be deciding how much veterinarians make.
If you have never watched a pet suffocate to death from laryngeal paralysis or BOAS, you shouldn’t be deciding how much veterinarians make.
If you have never been bit, urinated and defecated on trying to assess your patient, you shouldn’t be deciding how much veterinarians make.
If you have never had to euthanize a 2-year-old dog because the owners couldn’t afford the treatment and all the local animal shelters were at capacity, you shouldn’t be deciding how much veterinarians make.
If you've never had to look into a loved ones eyes or hold them while they crumble when you tell them of the death of their dog; the dog that belonged to their child who died last year, you shouldn’t be deciding how much veterinarians make.
If you have never told your family your shift was “fine” to spare them from what you saw that day, you shouldn’t be deciding how much veterinarians make.
If you’ve never had to feel guilty for spending time with your family or leaving work after endless 14 hour shifts, you shouldn’t be deciding how much veterinarians make.
For years veterinarians have been underpaid and undervalued and no one seemed to care.
Now that veterinary medicine is on the brink of a collapse, everyone is concerned.
Veterinarians are committing su***de and leaving the profession at rapid rates.
Perhaps it’s from the years of being expected to work 24/7 and barely being able to pay bills and student loans. Maybe it’s because veterinarians are asked to do more and more with less. Maybe it’s from the verbal abuse, online bullying and poor staffing ratios. The reasons are honestly endless.
Let’s start caring about veterinarian mental health, fair pay, and work-life balance.
Let’s not get to the point where you need a veterinarian and there isn’t one to spare.🙏🙏🙏
Copied from a practice manager at a veterinary hospital and I see and hear the way people treat vets! Argue , belittle them about the choice of treatment as if they have now obtained a Bachelors for a simple google search . In the end respect your veterinarian! they are humans and also have family’s and bills just like all of us !!!

The Road Trip.
These words conjure up images of adventure, excitement new faces and places. Not so today I climbed into my car with a heart laden with grief and despair. The road along the beautiful sea to my left. Anguish consuming my Soul.
You arrive at your destination to am emotionally distraught family.
You arrive to give the final injection. To take a Life. The Spirit vacates from the patient the energy gone and lifeless 👀 eyes unseeing look back at you.
A crow flies by screeching not a Seagull. The family bring the now lifeless animal to the car .
You feel helpless that you have failed them dismally . Yes I have but I have done the kindest act for my patient.
You drive away taking a family member away some of their hope and Joy. Reasons to face challenges. In the rear view mirror the family stand huddled together bodies wracked and sobbing in Grief and Pain somehow You are to Blame for all this Pain .
💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

REALITY OF LIFE

By reaching this stage in life, the lion can no longer hunt, kill or defend itself.

It roars and roars until it weakens, then it will be surrounded by the Hyenas, nibbled and devoured.

They won't even let him die to be dismembered.

Life is short, what happens to the lion also happens to us humans.

We won't be young forever.
We won't always be the strongest.
We won't always be on top.
We won't always be the boss.
We won't always be the king of the jungle or king of life.

As long as God and life gives us opportunities, let's be humble, remove arrogance and mistreatment.

Because sooner or later, life will pass us a bill and we will reap just what we sow.
