With this second of the series, TEXAS DOC continues the popular anecdotal stories begun in DALLAS DOC, the true-life portrayal behind the zany adventures and poignant moments that make up a twenty-five year veterinary practice in treating critters of every shape and size - from gerbils, cats and canines...to horses, cows and cougars. Doc recaptures the daily escapades with his jovial partner, Dr. Rich Vest, and indomitable assistants, Tracy and Rachel, who are with him every step of the way as he meets more eccentric owners and their endearing animals pals: There's Columbo, a kitten caught in the middle of a fire and a crime; the tattooed lady with a pet ferret; a mystery on the range threatening thirty thousand sheep; and a farmer's corporate fight to keep his pets in a pig-waller at the shopping mall.

For 'Doc' Carlton, a passion for veterinary medicine continues to be his life's calling. In this fourth book of personal anecdotes, he relives more of the often bizarre events of his career. Traveling with Doc on farm calls, we get a glimpse of the fast-disappearing ranch life of Texas. And we again meet up with crusty cowpoke Pete Channel, and Doc's formidable Uncle Grump. During emergency surgeries, including those on a filly, an obese cat, and a puppy with an incurable malady, we discover the creative lengths that Doc and his team of three vets will go to in order to heal their patients.

Professionals & Academics

A native Texan and veterinarian, chronicles an ongoing thirty-five year 'never-a-dull-moment' practice in Dallas by reliving his adventures with an inimitable array of pet owners and their beloved animal companions. His genuine, down-home portrayal of the highs and lows behind practicing modern medicine, depicts both the legendary ranch life of the Old West - where time has stood still - and today's contemporary life of the city. The stories, originally written as personal memoirs for his family, have now become a five-book collection of Doc's day-to-day experiences with his critter-clients. In this first of the series, Doc shares his beginnings and introduces us to his 'daredevil' partner, Rich Vest, irreplaceable assistants, Rachel and Tracy, and his infamous cattle-gored truck 'Ol Blue' - as well as A.J, the horse trader, Big Bertha, the 'guard pig' and a pair of honky-tonk armadillos who 'drink too much'.
