Every Living Thing Gift Set (Audio Cassette), the story of James Herriot's veterinary practice in Yorkshire
A master storyteller continues the charming account of his experiences as veterinarian in rural Yorkshire. And although there are more cats and dogs as patients than before, there are plenty of large farm animals to deal with, frequently during the middle of the night. The detailed but succinct descriptions of people, places, and animals are a delight. Herriot’s unusual ability to identify individual characters, both human and four-legged, brings them to life–even for the most urban American. The endearing strand weaving all episodes together is the constant devotion of man to animal and animal to man. Chapters are short, the pace is rapid, and the stories are very easy to read–perfect for unmotivated readers. The author’s keen sense of humor will bring smiles to the faces of YAs, particularly when he tells a joke on himself. Nonfiction at its most entertaining best.
The late Alf Wight aka James Herriot left a legacy of books that excites readers to this day (and I presume will do so for decades more.) His gentle, self-deprecating style of humor and the portraits of the Yorkshire Dales farmers and country people are amusing and interesting.
The four books, named after a hymn "All Creatures Great and Small" are joined by this fifth volume with similar stories. James (as Alf called himself) now has his own practice in Skeldale House, is married with two kids. The stories are very similar to the first four, with goof-ups, miracles, and funny tales. Somehow, these stories are not quite as hilarious as the first set, possibly because Mr. Herriot had written up most of the good stuff, or to represent the seriousness of raising two kids and having his own practice and being a settled man rather than a raw youth just out on his own. Nonetheless, if you lapped up all the "Creature" books, as I did, and you mourn the loss of Dr. Wight, who passed away in the 90’s, then you will want to read these stories and vicariously enjoy more of the daily life of a country vet.

- Grooming Your Dogs
Some breeds require more intensive grooming than others, but ordinarily your dog should be groomed everyday. Use a soft bristled brush to brush his fur daily. Keep his nails short, but not too short, and well trimmed at all times. Clean his ears with cottons swabs,and wipe off excess mucus from his eyes and nose. Don’t forget his canines – a soft bristled toothbrush and a doggy flavored toothpaste will keep his molars looking sparkling clean.
- Watch how you pet a dog
- Always let the dog see you first.
- Let the dog come to you on his own terms.
- Make a fist and hold your hand out towards the dog’s nose so he can sniff your hand.
- Talk to the dog in a normal voice. Do not yell or scream.
- If the dog seems comfortable with you, gently pet the dog in the back (not on the head – that’s too close to the mouth, which contains those sharp teeth!)

- Dog Bathing Tips
It’s a myth that you should rarely bathe your dog. Show dogs are usually bathed weekly and are in fantastic condition. Bathe to your heart’s content. The key is to brush often (daily for some dogs) to keep the natural oils distributed in the coat. The other key is that when you shampoo, rinse thoroughly and dry thoroughly. In the case of a long or thick-coated dog this usually means using a dog blow dryer (which doesn’t deliver heat – very important, only powerful air) and drying right down to the skin (brush as you blow to “fluff” the dog). Nails are easier to trim after bathing as they’re softened up. There are lots of “self-service” bathing stations in pet stores these days if you don’t want to make a mess of your own bathroom or don’t want to use the yard. You can use the following products to bath your dogs: Pet Aromatic Woodsy Woof Dog Bath, Booster Bath Plastic Dog Bath, Indoor – Outdoor Pet Shower
