Book Description
"My God, where did you learn to handle cows like that, Doc?" Jack gasped as I hauled my OB bag and bucket over the fence."It just comes from growing up around them," I said. "I get surprised by one every once in a while, but most of the time, I know what they are going to do before they do it."In these real-life stories from forty years of veterinary practice in a small community in western Oregon, Dr. David E. Larsen captures the essence of daily life as a solo veterinary practice before the days of emergency clinics on every corner and specialty help within reach.Dave Larsen writes with equal respect and dedication about the animals he treats, all sizes, from bulls to mice, and of the life and death decisions their owners must make. He draws on the vast experience of his training, and applies the art of veterinary care that were taught to him by colleagues, many times lessening the tension in serious situations with subtle humor and providing needed education to grateful clients.

Book Description
Hi! I’m Jessie Gussman and I get emails all the time from people who spewed their coffee/half-chewed toast/cereal out all over their e-reader. Or who woke up their spouse while reading my newsletter because they were laughing so hard. Or who save my emails until they get home from work because they don’t have the kind of job where howling and rolling on the floor is acceptable conduct. But not every story in this book is laugh-out-loud funny. Some of them will make you cry. Some will make you think. And some of them will make you shake your head and wonder how in the world someone like me has made it through life without being put in a straight jacket and carted away. Not even close. I get paid to write love stories. Lol Life is weird, I agree. I’m a wife, mother and farmer by day, romance novelist by night and in my spare time, I write about my life from prison. Kidding about the prison part. (At the time of this writing, anyway. No one has figured out if there was actually a body in the car that’s buried in my dad’s back yard – that story’s in the book, along with the time I caught myself on fire and my kid was laughing too hard to blow me out, how to charge a 1600 pound, angry mama cow (and why you’d want to), odd Amish courting rituals (involving frogs), and how not to fall out of your husband’s Peterbilt as he’s driving down the interstate.) There is a lot of faith, family and fun in my fiction books, and WARNING: my real life has a ton of all that, too. But life on the farm is not always fun. Sometimes it’s hard and sometimes it hurts and those stories are in here, too. Thanks so much for choosing to spend a little time with me today! Love, Jessie Reviews for Stories from Jessie Gussman's Newsletter: ★★★★★ "This book of newsletters is actually better described as a collection of short, real-life stories by Jessie that will leave you snorting with laughter, and sometimes, struggling with tears. " - Mari ★★★★★ "I absolutely love Jessie Gussman’s books and I always thought we should have to pay for her newsletters, but thank heavens we don’t. This is a book I highly recommend even if you’ve never read a Jessie book you still enjoy the stories of living on the farm being the mother of four and others and the relationship with her and her husband. An absolute treat." - Janalyn ★★★★★ "I've been reading this book to my husband whenever we're riding in his truck together. We're both loving it! Many laugh out loud moments!" - Amber ★★★★★ "This is a faith-based writing that is so touching that it not only will inspire the reader but entertain you in a clean and wholesome way. Jessie’s real-life stories about her family and life on their farm made my day! This really is a must-read charmer!" - Crystal ★★★★★ "This book had me laughing out loud, crying, and wondering how in the world people can live with themselves sometimes. I truly don't know when Jessie finds time in her life to write, but when she does, it's an experience. I love Jessie's honesty, spirit, love, generosity, human-ness, kindness, parenting style, relationship with God." - Janet Books in the Stories from Jessie Gussman's newsletter series: 1. Chickens in Canaan Land 2. The Farm on Naked Creek 3. Beef Below the Blue Ridge 4. Stories from the Promised Land
