Watching Dr. Pol and one of his young vets has 3 beagles named Remington, Ruger and Kimber. Good show that.

That show is fairly realistic.
My mother tapes them all month and then she tells me when she is going to watch them and I go watch them with her.
I've done or helped do many of the procedures Dr. Pol includes on his TV shows. I've got to say being a large animal vet is dangerous, dirty, and requires a big commitment from everyone in the family. Grouch worked for a female large animal vet for several years doing paperwork, office manager, and taking care of the vet's 3 children. Often, she'd show up at 6:30 AM to find the vet had taken an early call and was already on the road. I always maintained good working facilities but many others didn't. Nothing more dangerous than a 1500# cow on the prod without proper equipment to control her.
A well equipped 'vet truck' will set one back $100-125K (and be worn out in 3-5 years)and a 'clinic' at least that much. My hat is off for anyone who has the gumption to become a vet and the commitment to stick with it.

Sadly, I think Dr. Pol's show has reached its end of production at the end of last season. I'm going to miss it. He is 80 yrs old so I guess it was time for him to take a break.
NM, Mom always told me that if I didn't have something nice to say, don't say anything.
