Raccoons Stole My Baby Jesus


Book Description

Jennifer Doll DVM has a non-paying job as veterinarian for Witty Kitties Inc. and Animals All About Inc., and essentially takes on almost every animal that no one else will, expecting to get nothing (including appreciation) in return. Sometime it is learn as she goes, with a treacherously steep learning curve. Her paying job is as veterinarian and Medical Director for Iowa Humane Alliance, spaying and neutering anywhere from 30 to 55 cats, dogs, rabbits, rats, pot-bellied pigs, and guinea pigs a day. You’d think this is not possible without a high complication rate, but you’d be wrong. The clinic is just that good. Specialized training and a single-mindedness of the staff makes it so. Dr. Doll hopes to spay and neuter every pet until there are no more unwanted in the state of Iowa, thus putting her out of business. After 26 years in practice, the last 19 in Iowa, Dr. Doll has met and wrangled her share of Feral Cats, Black Bears, Cougars, Giant Pythons, and Crocodilians. And that is the short list. Despite injuries to her body and pride, she is not quite sure she is ready to stop.

The Wind in the Willows


Book Description

The Wind in the Willows is a children's novel by Kenneth Grahame, first published in 1908. Alternately slow moving and fast paced, it focuses on four anthropomorphised animals in a pastoral version of England. The novel is notable for its mixture of mysticism, adventure, morality, and camaraderie and celebrated for its evocation of the nature of the Thames valley. In 1908, Grahame retired from his position as secretary of the Bank of England. He moved back to Cookham, Berkshire, where he had been brought up and spent his time by the River Thames doing much as the animal characters in his book do—namely, as one of the phrases from the book says, "simply messing about in boats"—and wrote down the bed-time stories he had been telling his son Alistair. In 1909, Theodore Roosevelt, then President of the United States, wrote to Grahame to tell him that he had "read it and reread it, and have come to accept the characters as old friends".
