Imagine! A whole episode devoted to
a veterinary's adventures in assisted birthing of lambs.
Such exacting realism, with photos too! I haven't had this
much fun since I last reread James Herriot's books.

Was James Herriot born too late? He
could have been a television star! Every day up to your
elbows in...ugh, ewe. But just think of the rustic joys
of life on a rural farm!

Must be really tough being a sheep:
standing out in a rain storm, your fleece soaking wet, a
prime candidate for being struck by lightening. But hey,

That was more than I wanted
to know about animal husbandry!
And to think this was broadcast on television...you
think we can get the cable company to carry the channel, "Lamby"
is going to ewe soon...
But wait, there's more, only this time it is
that strange animal:
The Ambulatory Patient!
First, you have to catch him...oh! Doctor,
there he goes...!
