Call the villages

A funny and sometimes sad look at what life for a bet was like in the late 1990s I really enjoyed the stories and how she made mistakes The way it was written really drew you in and I found myself laughing and feeling very sympathetic when she had to put animals to sleep Very interesting with all of the vet stuff in but written so you can understand it 0753555077 In my ongoing search for things to read during this election year Covid 19 experience I considered books from my childhood that I read with my grandma She loved James Herriot and gave me his books once she was done with them She had a real soft spot for heartwarming animal stories This book was on the shelf at my local used book store and it was just right for a bedtime read 0753555077 I always enjoy books of this type and this one is certainly one of the best or indeed the best Easy effortless reading with a good mix of happy and sad 0753555077 This memoir is not for the dainty or squeamish as we get mud blood and other substances on almost every page Yes it s a real country vet tale with warm hearted people and larger than life animals The lady vet came to study late as she was discouraged in school having to take needlework and home economics but when in university a course change made sense We see the antisocial side of the work being constantly on call and out at night in muddy fields There is a high suicide rate among vets we are told Pressure lack of sleep being unable to give in to wanderlust and any failures with animal patients combine to make this a tough life Certainly readable and occasionally funny this earthy book set in Devon rural England with an interesting aside in Africa should be read by prospective vet students 0753555077 check out full review mariesbookboutique. Call the valuation office com 2018 I adore the countryside seen that s on the cover of this book With its sweeping fields all partitioned by hedged and gates to get in and out Some fields have cows and some have sheep in them grazing on the green grass A couple which looks like a farmer and a vet carrying her vet bag both wearing Wellington boots Two Labrador dogs one laying down beside the farmer and the other standing beside the vet A tree branch covered in leafs creeps in just above the title which looks like its been written by hand giving off a very personal touch The author s name is in black and situated at the bottom of the cover. Call the valuation office when I won this book I was very excited to read because I suppose I class myself as a bit of a country bumpkin but in a different part of the UK I also am a pretty big animal lover all animals except big spiders my father was a Sheppard when I was little so I know a bit about sheep It would also be nice to learn about the life of a vet just starting out. Call the vet kindle unlimited Call the Vet spans across a whole year and split up into seasons The reader follows Anna s experiences as she trains to be a vet through to her getting her first vet job in the Dorset countryside In this time the reader will clearly see Anna s shear determination in what ever she is face with giving everything a go even when she sometimes felt that she couldn t Throwing her self in her work to give a good impression to her new boss I really love that about her and think it s a pretty important quality to have as a vet The book show s the very long hours vet s in general work the varied in animals they deal with and shows the inner workings of a small country vet s I will however warn you if you are a bit squeamish because there are bits of operations and other bits which are described in detail It didn t bother me however its real life This book also shows how sad it can be dealing with client s and there much loved pet s when it comes to saying good bye to them There were quite a few comical bit s throughout the book as you can imagine which made me giggle out loud Sorry Anna to laugh at you miss fortune I adored Anna s wonderful description of the Dorset countryside I really feel like I ve been there my self I really think that this book would really suit anyone thinking or training to be a vet because not only would they get a glimpse into the vetting world but the would learn technical vet terms and procedures which I feel would really benefit them Of course I liked the romance which blossoms between Anna and a certain guy All in all I enjoyed reading Anna s memoir of her time training to becoming a vet I found the whole thing quite interesting to read 0753555077 Librarian note There is than one author in the GoodReads database with

threatening bark Spirited and determined Anna quickly finds her feet and falls in love with rural life including Ebbourne s eccentric characters and their animals Disasters dramas farmers and friendship and not to mention a whirlwind romance with a local Wildlife Trust worker this warm and witty memoir offers a window into what working with animals and country life is really all about Call the Vet Farmers Dramas and Disasters My First Year as a Country VetI loved farm life when I was young and would go to my grandfather s chicken farm and spend weeks during the summer And I love animals especially farm animals since they hold special memories in my heart We had Elsie the cow plus others but believe it or not my mother s legal name was Elsie lol so that held a special place in my heart pigs we had to slop baby chickens and I mean thousands of them wild rabbits a pet peacock mine and So this story really resonated with me and I thought it was super cute I enjoyed following Anna s journey through her vet training all the way to how she helped in various situations A quick fun read for me 0753555077 Thanks must first and foremost go to the kind people at Random House Ebury for providing me with an ARC it cost me no monies but I m going to complain anyway When I was 9 we took The Cat of the time to see our local vet Mr Gilbert Unlike these modern times full of trendy young things with whom I am on first name bases Mr Gilbert could only ever be known as Mister Gilbert I don t know how old he was exactly but it was probably at least 192 because after he d finished sticking pointy things into The Cat he suggested I who had been stroking her head and reassuring her in the manner of a 9 year old who recognises this creature is the closest she s going to get to a pony would make an excellent veterinary nurse Hopefully he died soon afterwards and was spared the influx of wimmins into his profession wimmins who were actual vets with actual qualifications and the actual ability to get really intimate with a cow Interestingly a few years earlier than that Anna Birch was told by her school that she wouldn t be be study the sciences because as an all girl school they didn t offer them Happily some years later encouraged by her then boyfriend Birch attended vet school as a mature student qualified and landed her first job in a small town in Dorset near the coastal town of Bridport Bridport is where Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall hangs out I ve never been but I m convinced they eat cous cous there Initially I didn t think much of Call The Vet I was inevitably going to make comparisons with the master James Herriot indeed the book does itself and the first chapter felt tremendously derivative I m not a vet and have no first hand experience of the correct response to a cow with a prolapsed uterus although I can tell you what mine would be but it all feels very familiar large organ to be fed through a small hole doubt fear even the trick with the wine bottle crosses legs From there I did find myself warming to it It s less focused on the animal stories than James Herriot is sometimes to its detriment I m not the greatest carer about of romance anyway and Call The Vet spends too much time for my taste chronicling Birch s relationship yay for her and everything but I didn t find it terribly interesting I m here for the anal glands Overall it s not quite there It doesn t do any of the things I d hoped for with enough aplomb It s not funny enough although there s material it s only written with an adequate comic hand It s not interesting enough while I did learn something my impression is of time spent on Birch s dog and her own feelings of inadequacy It lack cohesion the introductory language to Birch s colleagues is used two chapters in a row the it wasn t like this for James Herriot sentiment is used than once Frustratingly there are the glimmers of something following a disastrous cringingly funny moment with an under anaesthetised dog which is criminally underwritten Birch is told by the office colleague she roped in as assistant I was scared and you were stupid but this never extends into self awareness The characters left little impression on me While there are certainly worse ways to spend an afternoon than lying in a postdrome stupor reading this book while Wren licks your feet I m not really seeing anything here to recommend it particularly If you want a my first year as a vet book this is just about fine 2. Disambiguation profile call the vet clinic 5 stars 0753555077 This really deserves three and a half stars It was a fun read albeit a bit gory in parts in a vetty sort of way but I read it fast which means it was pretty compulsive reading. Book call the vet review The author conveys very well the pressures of being a newbie vet in the countrydoing things like checking herds of cattle for pregnancy or sadly TB or helping cows give birth Real strength and stamina is obviously needed and often these things have to be done out in the open in harsh weather It was a very honest account The author talks about her shortcomings like her failure in trying to train her rather crazy dog Rocket or her fear of horses just as much as she discusses her triumphs. Book call the veteran I think this would be an excellent book for people to read who are thinking of training as vets It seems to gave an authentic picture of what it is like to work in a rural village veterinary practice It s also a good book for couch potato animal lovers like myself O 0753555077 Loved this So easy to read so relatable and so funny Anna finds herself in a small surgery in the country dealing with an assortment of large and small animals I adore memoirs about vets treating animals and seeing how wonderful they are Her colleagues as well as her partner are all supportive and amusing in their own way forgettable 0753555077
