"Pete the Vet" has left Blogger

After three years of using Blogger as the host for the "Pete the Vet" blog, I've decided to migrate across to Wordpress. I've exported all of the blogs from this site, and I've set redirects so that if people visit www.petethevet.com, they'll go there automatically. This message is just to let folk know that I won't be updating this site anymore - go to my Wordpress blog if you want to follow my updates.
Thanks
