"Vets have a kind of double vision on the human experience. They see us as the clients who bring in the patients and pay the bill, but they also see our sins, flaws, and weirdness reflected in our animals. Dr. Skaggs recognized early on that this was a rich source of humor-not ridicule, not humor that cuts, but the kind of organic humor that allows us to laugh at ourselves." -John R. Erickson, author of Hank the Cowdog series
The small-town veterinary clinic is abuzz again! As if the beat-down by the angry monkey wasn't enough in the first book, Dr. Skaggs narrowly escapes death when El Diablo, the 2200-pound bull, uses him as a speed bump and punching bag this time around.
That's just the beginning. Meet Magnus, the small statured gymnastic stallion, who overcomes all odds to become a father, and Festus, the bow-legged ostrich, who needs cosmetic surgery.
You'll learn about Spike, the silver crested cockatoo, who fights beak and nails to keep his gender a secret. The resulting melee reveals that one of the bleeding creatures in the room is a male.
What about the devoted Catholic dog deserving an official burial and the devastation to animals and people after a vicious tornado? The story of the elderly beauty pageant contestant testing her cursing talent for the Baptist preacher will tickle your funny bone and keep you in stitches.
Experience the trials, tribulations, and heartwarming stories of animals and their owners through the eyes of Dr. Skaggs. The tales will be ones you won't soon forget.

Über den Autor
Dr. Skaggs' roots are in a small town in Texas. For as long as he can remember, he loved animals and made it his mission to become an animal doctor. His goal is to make every dog's tail wag, every kitten purr, and every horse and cow buck and play in the fields. He began jotting down unique experiences occurring with animals and owners and has been doing it for thirty years. As a country vet, his practice hasn't been specialized or limited to dogs, cats, birds, exotic animals, or livestock. His clinic takes whatever patients walk in the door and he never knows what that might include. The work can be messy, is often loud, sometimes dangerous and often humorous.
