Do you ever wonder what a day or night in the life of a rural veterinarian might be like? In his book, Dr. Green tells stories about animals, their owners, and other unique characters that he encountered in his years of veterinary practice. You almost feel that you were present when the events took place. Animal lovers will enjoy the heartwarming stories, the humorous stories, and the almost unbelievable true stories about animals and their caretakers. Dr. Green talks about treating cats, dogs, and cows during the daytime and then skunks, horses, or elephants at night. Each day brought something different--most of which was unplanned. Needless to say, days and nights were long, and sleep came at a premium. When he did get a chance to rest he dreaded that middle of the night phone call that began with, "Doc, did I wake you up?
Each day (and night) brings surprises into a rural veterinarian’s life, especially when he is a solo practitioner taking all calls, including emergencies while treating a myriad of animals and dealing with unique animal owners and characters.

He is now retired and enjoying more rest and sleep at a much slower pace without that dreaded phone call that began with Doc, were you sleeping?
