Don't They Kick When You Do That? Stories of a Prairie Veterinarian. By Dr. Gary Hoium
Description: Just days after graduating from veterinary college in 1984, Dr. Gary Hoium joined a mixed animal clinic in Weyburn, Saskatchewan. Thus began a long, successful career serving animals of all shapes and sizes, and their human owners/handlers. Along the way, he collected humorous and heartwarming stories of the creatures he met. Written with Dr. Hoium’s unmistakable wit and sense of fun, Don’t They Kick When You Do That is a compilation of his real-life adventures, mishaps, and successes. From cattle to hogs, cats to dogs, the creatures and men and women who love them have wormed their way into Gary Hoium’s heart … and his stories. And, yes, sometimes they do kick when he does that.

Letters to Jennifer From Maudie & Oliver. By Sharon Gary
Available only as an e-book. Search e-book vendor sites by book title or author name.
Two precocious Siamese cats share their day-to-day adventures with their dear Auntie Jennifer and others who enjoy a good laugh. Maudie is a beautiful prima donna who has no qualms in telling others about the importance of her position in the household. Oliver is her more ordinary brother, who doesn’t get enough love because he lives with the prima donna. Maudie and Oliver wrote to their Auntie Jennifer, with some help from their LIP (their Live-In Person, author Sharon Gray), to cheer up Jennifer and keep in touch with her as she battled breast cancer. One reviewer wrote: “The letters offer a cat’s-eye view of the world that is frequently hilarious, sometimes poignant, and always engaging."
