While I'm here.....

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All thngs wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.

Not only is that a sweet little true poem, it is also the titles of four of the best books I've ever read (a thousand times) in my life.
Each line is a title. They're the beginning of a series of books about animals and veterinary medicine back in the 40's in Darrowby, written by a man who used the name James Herriot. His real name was Alfred Wright or White-I can't remember which. (I think it's White...)
Anyway, if you like animals AT ALL and have any interest whatsoever in animal husbandry/vet sciences, you've got to read these books.

Yes, Rob, I know they're a hundred years old. That doesn't mean everybody knows about them or that they still aren't wonderful books with the best stories.

There was even a series on A&E based on these books. I loved it, but the accents were so heavy and they spoke so fast it was hard to keep up.
Anyway...these books are excellent. You'll be laughing your ass off one minute and he'll have you crying the next. You can learn stuff, be entertained and maybe get an idea why some people love animals so much. (Like me...)
If you can find the books on tape, get one. To hear the stories told in the correct accents, which are much easier to understand in the books on tape, is just too cool.

Listen to 'em, read 'em...whatever. Just do it. Trust me. You won't be disappointed.
