Drinking from the Trough
A Veterinarian's Memoir
Mary Carlson didn't start out to become a veterinarian, let alone owner and caretaker of cats (many), dogs (two), and horses (some with manners, some without) in Colorado. She was a suburban Chicago girl, inspired by her uncle's stories to head to the American West. Along the way, there were numerous pets, grueling years of vet school, a shattered hip, an enduring love, illness, and death—and the rediscovery that life, especially a life full of delightful animals, is worth living.
