The country vet puts down roots in his second volume of hilarious stories from rural British Columbia. He has purchased a piece of property under the mountains south of Creston and has acquired some cattle with his realtor friend, Gordon. He dreams of developing the land and eventually living on it. Soon, however, he will discover his unpredictable neighbour. She has pigs. Will the animals be able to co-exist? More to the point: Will the determined country vet and the feisty farmer get along?

This book was really informative about daily life of a vet but it is obvious that the author is a vet first, author second. Sometimes it was hard to follow. also taking a star off for the rafting race chapter at the end. Firstly, it had nothing to do with being a vet and second, it is highly dangerous and I don't think should be written about so casually.

But overall I enjoy Dr. Perrin's stories and I wouldn't mind reading his other novels.

I loved it. It was heartwarming and funny. And the pictures were absolutely adorable.

As good as James Herriot, with the bonus of being "local" (to BC anyway). Will happily read his others.
