Kathryn Primm DVM

Tennessee Tails Leaves Them Wagging

Tennessee Tails Pets and Their People by Kathryn Primm, DVM (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine) is a work that animal lovers and pet owners alike will cherish. This endearing memoire gives a much-needed glimpse into the lives and experiences endowing a veterinary clinic. Primm’s book is an easy, but emotional read. Readers will laugh aloud one minute and be in tears the next. The main thing that bridges the gap between reader and author with this work, besides the engrossing writing, is the true loving care that Primm feels for her patients and their owners. Readers will feel an instant bond with Primm and her unwavering devotion to her clients, even those not so easy to stimulate devotion.

The characters of course are amalgamations of the many individuals gracing her animal hospital, thus are so real that neighbors, friends, and family will be conjured with the reader’s mind. As in real life, some are sweet and endearing, while others could be cartoon characters if one checked their actions more closely. Reality can be far more entertaining than fiction at times; this is the case with Primm’s book.

The plots are easy to follow and the read is a breath of fresh air. Readers will be invested in this work from the Preface, which by the way, readers should make sure to read. It is added background and information straight from the author, which gives the work a solid base to build on. Primm’s writing style is fluid and flows across the brain like a cool breeze. While there are few surprises, the entertainment value is strong. The one piece of advice I can give is for readers to have the tissue box handy, fore even though laughs are hardy and do exist, the gut-wrenching tears will place a lump in anyone’s throat. All things said, it can be read again and again, and enjoyed every time.… (plus d'informations)
