I want to take a moment to than Doc Henderson for all the penicillin he dished out over the years for various malady's. I personally had bronchitis, He was generous with his meds, I just never figured out why he insisted on putting a tube down my throat and blowing the pill in.

BTY/ Worse circus memory for Doc. A breach birth giraffe if I remember correctly.

I think it is so odd that High Beams Husband and Low Beams are both VET TECHs.

I still have the copy of this book given me when it came out. I was about 7 or 8 and very limited due to childhood crippling. That summer, I memorized all of Doc's stories, and was delighted when he re-told them to me years later. There were many intriguing additional details. He said he was limited in what he could put in the book, as with veterinary advances, many DVMs would come along and say his old ways were questionable. But, he said, the old ways worked, and led to advances credited directly to pioneering from one-night stands on a circus lot.

I was lucky to know Doc pretty well in the later years of his life. He was great pal of spectacular fan John Marietta from Pittsburg, Kansas. John wanted to buy a female mule for his little farm. Doc and he went together and after looking it over had to carry in front seat of truck between two of them. It was then John noticed that it really was a male. He said he asked doc if he missed one or two important classes in vet school.
