When the Going Gets Tough: Still More Adventures from a Country Vet (Adventures of a Country Vet Book 5)
Come along on another adventure with Dr. Dave Perrin, as he continues his veterinary career in a tiny rural town, with all the ups and downs of life in the 1970's.
Construction on his dream home is progressing at a snail’s pace, but everything else in Dr. Dave’s complicated life is charging ahead full tilt. He’s hired a recent graduate to assist with his practice and is moving to a new clinic. With faithful dog, Lug, at his side, Dave deals with a multitude of eccentric clients and unpredictable patients: Petunia, the housebroken calf; Skroopchuck, the cat from hell; Snowball, the cockatoo with a taste for blood; Gretta Maletta, the family pet who doesn’t know she’s a chicken; and Coonie, the wayward raccoon who lays claim to the family farm.
As reviewers say, "Dr. Perrin tells a good story." His book series, "Adventures of a Country Vet" is an international bestseller.
