The most important job of all

I was asked to give a veterinary talk to my daughter’s nursery today as it is their theme of the week. How I admired the staff running the little nursery. What a handful 3 year olds are. 1 child is autistic and the patience of his carer is amazing.

I brought a bagful of veterinary goodies to quiz them as well as a number of stuffed toys. With my work coat on, a stethoscope around my neck and my daughter’s very realistic-looking fluffy Lhasa Apso on my lap; I started the talk with, “Who can tell me what job I do?”

A very enthusiastic little girl shot her hand in the air and said, ” You are Emily’s Mummy”. Yes, she was right, probably the most important ‘job’ there is.
