Jabu is a 7 year old yellow Labrador, and has been our Head of Security since Elaine opened the practice.

Where is your favourite place to go for a walk?
** That has to be Heath Lake (as I can also pull in a cheeky swim) and South Hill Park – although I am a little afraid of the swans **

** My baby brother (Rufus – k/a HRH) is a little scary. He’s a Ragdoll kitten and is given to chasing my tail when I least expect it. I am, however, rather fortunate in that my sister (Siouxsie – a RagaMuffin cat) is quite protective of me and keeps him in line. **
