| All the City & Country Critters in the Life of a Texas-style Vet | More Critter Stories in the Life of a Town ‘n Country Vet | The Wonder of Animals from the Life-Stories of a Texas Vet | More Tales from the Life of a Texas Animal Doctor |
|
Doc shares his beginnings and introduces readers to his "daredevil" partner, Rich Vest, irreplaceable assistants, Rachel and Tracy, and his infamous, cattle-gored clinic truck, Ol’ Blue - as well as A.J.,the horse trader, Big Bertha, the "guard pig", Thieving Jack, a golden retriever, Cindy, a party-lovin' tabby kitten, and incorrigible characters who inhabit his landscape of barbed wire fences, tumbleweeds, and big city skyscrapers. |
Doc continues the popular zany adventures of a Texas vet as he meets more eccentric owners and endearing animals: one of every shape and size—from gerbils, cats, and canines…to horses, cows, and cougars—from a penthouse-madam to dusty cowpokes. There’s a tattooed lady with a pet ferret, a mystery on the open range threatening thirty thousand sheep, and the old farmer’s corporate fight to keep his pets in a pig-waller at the shopping mall |
They're back again-- the animal rescue team we met in Dallas Doc and Texas Doc. This time, they take on a new clinic and a new vet, 'perfectionist' Mathew Horton, who matches their passion and all-out commitment to every critter. Doc gives us more irresistible, behind- the-scenes glimpses into his topsy-turvy life: the Border Collie who thrives on hypnotizing sheep, two mules and a baseball legend, midnight surgery in the kitchen, and a wayward cat that cures a horse with psychosomatic issues. | For Doc, veterinary medicine continues to be his life's calling. He relives more of the often bizarre events: we go on farm calls and get a view of disappearing ranch life, we again meet up with crusty cowpoke Pete Channel and formidable Uncle Grump. Dr. Sal Ward's youthful insights join the team of experience, and during emergency surgeries on a filly, an obese cat and a puppy with an incurable malady, we discover the creative lengths that these doctors will go to in order to heal their patients. |
