Meet Anna Cockle
Veterinary Surgeon MRCVS
In the 25 years since I embarked on my Veterinary career, I have embraced many challenges, all with animal welfare at their heart. Working with all species from farm animals to small pets has given me a clear insight into the bond between people and the animals in their care. Spending time as an emergency care clinician, general practitioner, nutritionist and education co-ordinator has enhanced my understanding further. Greater still, my empathy derives from the many animals I share my life with.
My dog, Brucie
“Thank you for being my friend”
Brucie was the whitest and fluffiest of puppies, one of a litter of pups delivered by my beautiful Golden Retriever bitch, Izzie. I say delivered – he arrived by emergency caesarean section in the early hours of a Thursday morning in February. My partner at the time (now husband) was drafted in as nursing support and a friend and veterinary nurse was nominated anaesthetist for the procedure. And so Brucie came into my world, lifted by my gloved hand from his mum’s tummy.
He saw all three of my children through their early childhood years. They happily lay with him, resting their heads gently on his side as they watched television after school. He shared many holidays with us and even more walks in the Peak District.
Sadly, his last 3 years were blighted by cancer treatment and surgery. Between his surgeries he enjoyed a full and active life. When the cancer could no longer be kept at bay, I knew it was the right time to let him go. A friend and veterinary colleague came to our home, confirmed my concern and stayed with us during his passing.
We were fortunate, as a family, to be able to say goodbye at home and bury him in the garden, where he had spent many happy hours. As we buried him, we said “Thank you for being my friend” something that has become a tradition in our family on the loss of a beloved pet.
So much of my life and memories were tied up with Brucie and I was so glad to be able to spend his final moments together. A peaceful and comfortable goodbye for our friend.
