Carry on Vet

When Shirley Morton decided, at the age of 50, to look for a part-time job, chasing goats around a paddock was not what she had in mind. But a background as a music teacher and pedigree dog breeder proved just what the local country vet was looking for in his new nurse, and Shirley became part of the surgery team.

Whether describing the escapades of the animals or the idiosyncrasies of their owners, Shirley Morton's stories combine humour and pathos. Her genuine enjoyment of and warmth, towards animals and people make 'Carry on Vet' a pleasure to read.
