Tracey's dream of working with animals became a reality in 1986 when she secured a training position at a local veterinary practice. She worked her way up from practice bucket washer to head nurse, assisting in life-saving and tricky operations, nursing sick animals back to health, and shedding more than a tear or two. This is a humorous and sometimes bittersweet account of the life and times of a veterinary nurse.

Even as a young child, Tracey harbored a deep passion for working with animals. Her dream materialized in 1986 when she secured a training position at a local veterinary practice. With a fresh face and an insatiable thirst for knowledge, Tracey plunged headfirst into the dynamic world of a busy mixed animal practice. From the first day, she realized that this job would be anything but ordinary.

Every day, Tracey encountered a diverse range of animals, from pigs to pugs, calves to kittens. She embraced the challenge with enthusiasm, knowing that each day brought new opportunities to learn and grow. Working alongside memorable characters, Tracey encountered a roguish practice principal and a head nurse who had a penchant for a tipple. She also forged strong bonds with her fellow veterinary nursing students, who shared her passion for caring for animals.

Tracey's journey from a practice bucket washer to head nurse was a testament to her dedication and hard work. She assisted in life-saving and intricate operations, nursed sick animals back to health, and shed more than a few tears along the way. This is a humorous and sometimes bittersweet account of the life and times of a veterinary nurse, where no two days are ever the same. Through her experiences, Tracey learned the true meaning of compassion and the profound impact that she could have on the lives of animals and their owners.
