Tennessee Tails: Pets and Their People

---

Most of his time is spent indoors with my husband and me. I finished the book after our guest left.

It was just what I needed to read after hearing such a thoughtless comment. We see our dogs through their love and perfections rather than what others perceive as their disabilities. Kathryn Primm shares her experiences as a dog and cat veterinarian. She not only treats the pet patients but also their caring masters. When she described surgery she stated that "Opening an animal's body is like entering an inner temple, one where only priests can go.

This was the tale of Manning the Dalmatian and his owners Matt and his wife.

What real dedication and love this family and Dr. Primm and her staff showed for this wonderful family member! Our pets bring such joy to our lives and teach us lessons that elevate them to the status of "family". Primm's stories are heartwarming and sometimes downright amusing. Pet lovers will want to share this title with all of the pet-lovin' friends.

For the love of pets and their families This is such an inspirational book. The author obviously loves her life and is dedicated to families and their treasured pets. She has a real understanding of how much our pets are a wonderful addition to family. I definitely would recommend this book to anyone who loves their pets. Looking forward to more. Enjoyed reading about this veterinarian and the everyday life of a vet.

If you like stories about animals, you'll like this book. Quick read I thought this book was well written and interesting.

Read this before going to sleep and finished it in an hour. Mar 20, Clare O'Beara rated it really liked it Shelves: I always like to read memoirs of vets and this one is set in a country area where snakes and other wildlife can interfere with the smooth pet ownership of the people. Kathryn had an early love of horses and from this moved to training as a vet, then opening a small animal practice in a purpose built building.

Her day to day work included the usual spaying and neutering but also more serious cases. She was determined to do the best she could to help animals and their owners. The nature of this jo I always like to read memoirs of vets and this one is set in a country area where snakes and other wildlife can interfere with the smooth pet ownership of the people. The nature of this job means that not all stories end happily. Kathryn had her own brush with death which she describes at the end, and I'm glad that she is now recovered from a serious accident. My favourite story was about a young dog who was playing with her owner's two little boys.

She tried to alert them to a snake in the long grass where they were crawling, but the boys did not understand her, so to protect them she sat on the snake. The pup got bitten and had to be rushed to the vet by the family. Fortunately a hunt for antivenin was successful and she lived to play again. The format and easy conversational style means that this book could be read by all the family. I suggest however that the author needs to find a better way to show emphasis than using all capital letters.

Writing a book is not the same as writing a blog, and even in e-mails using all caps is considered impolite. I hope Kathryn can share some future experiences with us and I wish her well. Apr 15, Michele rated it it was amazing. This book is not what you would normally expect when you consider the author is a veterinarian.

What it is--the heart warming and sometimes heartbreaking stories of some of her patients and their owners. The pets and people's identities are fictitious, not so the stories.

Katherine Primm is not only a caring vet and human being-she is a great writer who will immerse you in these stories involving you and drawing you right in to the laughter and predicaments only a person who owns a pet will truly understand. If you have ever owned a pet then I urge you to read this short book. It took me less then an hour to read but I plan to re read it several times--it was that good.

Sadly, I had never heard of the book until I received this as a Christmas present. My friend had preread it. Ha It will make you laugh and cry.

The author's care and love of her clients and their pets is evident. She tells stories from her own life as well. The only downside I seen was that it wasn't longer.

Editorial Reviews

It reminds me of the James Herriot books I love. I hadn't even finished it when I p If you're looking for a easy to read book to curl up with for an afternoon or two, this is a great choice. I hadn't even finished it when I purchased more copies to share with others. I met Kathryn at a book signing and she is just as funny, caring and loving as she is in her book.

I wish all veterinarians were as devoted and caring. I'm looking forward to her next book. It's already on my must read list. This is a great book! I especially enjoyed the resolution to the mysterious ailments of the poor little "mean spirited" Chihuahua! From the beginning to the end, Dr. Primm kept me entertained, involved, as well as, informed. I thank God that the good Dr.

She and her family were very blessed! I eagerly look forward to the next installment of anecdotes! Interesting stories from a veterinarian who loves animals and tells us a little something of their personalities as well as their treatments. Good read for animal lovers! Wonderful Amusing and funny but down to earth about the everyday life of a female veterinarian and some of her patients and own pets.

It was hard to put this down once I began to read it. I wish it were longer. Good read I enjoyed this book. I liked the collection of short tales about the author's experiences as a vet. They were amusing, touching and sometimes required kleenex. I want to read a sequel of this wonderful book. Great stories by a wonderful veterinarian. I hope she continues to write and chronicles her adventures as a small animal vet. Jul 26, Cheryl A. Quick Read Love all books that are animal related and this one was no exception.

Very interesting with a really good mix of individual stories. Brandi Watson rated it really liked it Jan 29, We also enjoy seen the pictures during the day that she sends. Cindy truly loves all animals and I know she loves our babies!! I highly recommend Whiskers and Tails! I'll definitely use Cindy's services again.

Cindy took care of our two cats while my husband and I were out of town for about a week. She did a fantastic job! She fed and watered the cats everyday.

In addition to their regular dry food, she gave them wet food everyday as a special treat. She cleaned out their litter box, put the used litter in the outside trash,and it looks like she swept up litter the cats tracked out of their box.

See a Problem?

She even noticed that our neighbors had taken their outdoor trash cans to the curb, and took our trash can to the curb! I didn't even think about trash pick up. Cindy went the extra mile. We'll definitely use her again.
