This is a story of a cat surviving me losing my temper, and the lesson that I learned from it.

Our family once had a wonderful golden retriever named Max.  This episode tells of an adventure Max had that caused a lot of consternation.

This story goes back into the 1970s and involves the hopes and dreams of a dairy farm family dissolving into disaster.

This is a story of a family pet who was allowed access to chicken bones.  It ended positively, with some anxious moments.  Join me for the story and some good advice to dog owners.

The is the story of a horse suffering from colic, and it turned out, a second problem.  The outcome was not good, but a life lesson was learned.

This story features another of my former partners, Dr. Michael Hass.  It involves a dog who swallowed a fishhook, and the unlikely but positive outcome of how he handled it.

This story involves a beagle presented because of reluctance to move and evidence of pain in his neck.  Diagnosis and treatment gave a view into the life of a country veterinarian.

This story is not about veterinary medicine, but rather about a very dramatic situation that impacted me deeply.  I hope you find it interesting.

A few weeks ago I shared a story where a farmer called me a genius, which I did not deserve.  This week I tell of a time when I deserved to be called a dunce, but the farmer was kinder than that.  There are definitely times when others treat us better than fair.

One of the most dreaded calls for bovine veterinarians is a prolapsed uterus.  This episode describes such a call, along with a client known for being difficult.  Happily this story has just a glimmer of light at the end.
