All My Patients Have Tales: Favorite Stories from a Vet's Practice | Jeff Wells

pick

I have a vet surgeon friend who always tells me the sad and crazy things that happen on the job, so I thought of her while reading this book. The author shares the most memorable patient stories from his career—some of them made me gasp, some made me say, ‘WTF?‘, and some were just gross. It takes heart and courage to be a vet. These stories provide a small glimpse into what it‘s like to be on call for our closest companions.

JenniferEgnor Shown: Nova, our sphinx that we adopted last November. Our vet treated a nasty and persistent rash, and gave her a hysterectomy. We love our vets! 1mo

Soubhiville She‘s beautiful! 1mo

I colored this picture on one of my coloring apps and I wanted to write a story about it. 🦆

Here‘s mama duck getting ready to give her ducklings an afternoon bath
Splish splash, ducklings are taking a bath
Go ducklings, get in the bath with your brothers and sisters and let mama duck take care of you and get you cleaned up

CBee One of my favorite things is watching a mama (and usually daddy) duck walking with all of her babies waddling behind her - just blissful ♥️♥️ 1mo

One night when it was raining, these Black Bellied Whistling Ducks visited our backyard. We have bird feeders and a bird bath in our backyard. They were eating the bird seed that my birds dropped on the ground. They haven‘t visited again since then so I wanted to write a haiku about them.

Black Bellied Whistling Ducks
Will they fly over here and visit us again?
We liked seeing them

Creaturepedia: Welcome to the Greatest Show on Earth | Adrienne Barman

I had a mountain of grading to do tonight when my reluctant reader came into my office wanting to sit and read to me all 600+ names of the animals in this (ADORABLY illustrated!) book. The choice was clear. 🤷‍♀️

Reggie Awwwwwww 3mo

Fun quiz! Are we the only yellow readers? @MemoirsForMe

Ruthiella I guessed Yellow for a non-Litsy friend because she‘s a very empathetic and heart over head kind of person and she got Blue! 🤔😂 I think we‘re all a little of each category. 5mo

MemoirsForMe I guess we‘re the only ones who wear our hearts on our sleeves. Or maybe Bear fans gotta have heart. 😁😁😁 5mo

Lesliereadsalot Agreed! @Ruthiella 5mo

The New Rooster | Rilla Alexander

Way too soon to my taste the #ToB25 shortlist has been published!

I am a bit disappointed by the predictability of the chosen books. Many are quite popular and well known, many are too “light” to my taste. And I‘ve read almost all of them, while I hoped for some obscure ones.

Never mind, it‘s TOB so it will be fun!

BkClubCare, Megabooks, Hooked_on_books, Suet624, Bookwormjillk, Chelsea.Poole, squirrelbrain, Ruthiella, sarahbarnes

Bookwormjillk I was thinking the same. I am not supposed to have read any of these 😂 9mo

BarbaraBB @Bookwormjillk Exactly that! 9mo

sarahbarnes Why do they publish it so soon?!! And agreed - I want the shortlist to be more obscure. Oh well, I guess we still have the long list! 📚 9mo

BkClubCare Thanks for the 🏷️ 🌟 💖 📚 9mo

squirrelbrain Yes, I agree with everyone else. A. It‘s too soon. B. I wanted it to be different books, not the ones that are everywhere already. @Bookwormjillk @sarahbarnes @BkClubCare 9mo

Hooked_on_books I‘m disappointed at the inclusion of All Fours since it was one of their camp books and I hated it. There‘s still a few left for me to read (though I likely won‘t bother with the Link), but yes, I‘ve already read most. 9mo

Megabooks Yeah, I‘ve already read most of these. Like @Hooked_on_books I won‘t bother with the Link. I tried when it came out and HATED the first several pages. Every other one I‘ll try to read or have read. Too bad wolf at the table didn‘t make it — I‘m really enjoying it!!! (edited) 9mo

Megabooks It is too soon. I agree. I‘m still enjoying the longlist!! 9mo

BarbaraBB @Hooked_on_books I don‘t feel like discussing All Fours (or James for that matter) again, they already feel old! 9mo

BarbaraBB @Megabooks Me too, I have a lot I still want to read. And that includes George now, I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️😉 9mo

Chelsea.Poole I agree, I had two more coming up for the longlist to read that didn‘t make the cut. Current read is Godwin and wanted to get to My Friends. 9mo

Megabooks @Chelsea.Poole My Friends is on my definitely want to read list, too! 9mo

Megabooks @ImperfectCJ had a whole different take on George than I did! Hopefully you‘ll love it. 9mo

BarbaraBB @Chelsea.Poole Is Godwin good? 9mo

BarbaraBB @Megabooks I hope so too. My Friends is very good! 9mo

BkClubCare Well, I for one, am glad the Creation Lake and Wandering Stars is off the table. Sad about a few I was looking forward to, but many of these are still new to me. (Tho, am in total agreement that James feels old and everywhere! And I won‘t retry All Fours) 9mo

Suet624 I‘m just happy The History of Sound made it on the shortlist. I guess I‘m in the minority because for once, I‘m happy that I‘ve read so many of them. That means I don‘t have to go running all over creation trying to find the obscure books. Maybe they‘re trying to be more main stream this year? 9mo

BarbaraBB @Suet624 I am reading that one right now and am enjoying it very much! As expected! 9mo

Larkken Lol. Only one out of my current top three from the longlist 🤷🏻‍♀️ 9mo

Larkken @Suet624 lol, it is nice knowing I have a chance to find and read them all before judging time for sure 9mo

Larkken It looks like they picked books off of existing best of lists tbh. 9mo

BarbaraBB @Larkken I agree, it seems a collection of the best of lists unfortunately! Which ones are your top three? 9mo

Larkken @BarbaraBB I've resonated most with You Dreamed of Empires, Glorious Exploits, and James ( but that last feels obvious! Lol). I wonder if my top three will change as I finish the short list? 9mo

BarbaraBB @Larkken Interesting! I have read only James of those. Will check out both others! 9mo
