Life is supposed to get better when the kids are grown and have families of their own. When you more or less retire and enjoy the fruits of your labors. That was what Billie envisioned.Then her son and his buddy bought a mule, and they needed a place to keep it. That was an easy decision to make since Mom and Dad had a small ranch. "We can keep it out at the folks," the son says to his buddy. ~ from "The Berserk Mule" - Widow Woman's RanchFollowing David Larsen's Last Cow in the Chute, this second edition of Widow Woman's Ranch. This is the second book in the Memoirs of a Country Vet series with more stories added to those in the first edition. Dave Larsen brings readers his skillfully written accounts of life as a country veterinarian in the 1970s and 1980s where he ran a one-vet general clinic in Sweet Home, Oregon, and where his medical attention, expertise, and wisdom, often in immediate life-and-death situations, were needed with one phone call at any time of the day, every day of the week.
Autorenporträt
Dr. David E. Larsen grew up on a farm in the Coquille River Valley of Southwestern Oregon. Animals and their care have always been a big part of his life from the time he was young, but it took four years in the Army to give him the maturity he needed to complete his education. He graduated from Oregon State University with a degree in zoology, then attended Colorado State University and received his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 1975 at age thirty.With a growing family, he moved first to Enumclaw, Washington, then moved to Sweet Home, Oregon, and started the Sweet Home Veterinary Clinic, and practiced there for over forty years before he retired. Today he spends his time with his family, writing and doing a little fishing. Interested in seeing much more of Oregon and the rest of this country, Dave and his wife, Sandy, are eager to travel when they can.
