Don't They Kick When You Do That?
Stories of a Prairie Veterinarian By Dr. Gary Hoium Just days after graduating from veterinary college in 1984, Dr. Gary Hoium joined a mixed animal clinic in Weyburn, Saskatchewan.

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. ©2021, 978-1-927570-74-6, 224 pages, 6 photos, Ages 15 to Adult, Humour, Non-fiction.
