Living in Marfa  Texas the Doc traveled far and wide to treat his patients - pregnancy testing cows  delivering calves  or extracting a deer horn or mesquite limb from deep in a cows throat. Often working days with little or no sleep  the Doc was literally up to his armpits in work. His patients included horses  hogs  sheep and goats  and an occasional family pet - dogs  cats  skunks and turtles. He once declawed a pet mountain lion for one of his clients. The Doc has been stepped on  kicked  stomped  gored  scratched and bitten by his patients. Doc writes like a natural born story teller. Here is the life of a man you loved his work and who practiced it with compassion and dedication. He loves rugged West Texas. His clients were his friends.
