Ma went to the gift shop to find a word search book to give my Dad something to do (you can only watch so much TV before your brain goes to mush), but all of the word search books they had were just boring lists of words printed on cheap thin crappy paper. Ma said, Pa these books are terrible...I have an idea....Next thing I know (I'm Pa), I am on the internet trying to figure out how to start a business and become a publisher (this was in late 2011). By April of 2012 I had everything set up and was ready to publish our first book, oh but wait, we had to actually make our first book. We figured that everyone likes cats (wrong, I kinda don't), so we made "Cat Facts", published it, and within a few weeks it was a top 100 best seller on Amazon. Holy cow, we did it!!!

Donald V. "Doc" Tebbe rolled into the town of Fort Recovery, Ohio, in June 1962 ready to get work as a veterinarian. More than fifty years later, he's still practicing his craft. It's a career he knew he'd embark on as a young boy, when his prized cow, Shirley, suffered complications while giving birth. He watched on in horror from a hay chute as the veterinarian, Dr. Steinke, began cutting off the calf's legs, head, and ribs, yelling to no one in particular, "I hate to do this, but it's our only chance to save the cow." Both the cow and the calf died, and it broke Tebbe's heart. That day, he vowed to become a better veterinarian than Dr. Steinke to make up for what he did to his Shirley. Tebbe has since had colossal failures that have made him realize how bad Dr. Steinke must have felt that day he failed. For instance, on his very first day of work, he accidentally killed a cat. Join a small-town veterinarian on some very big adventures in 50 Years a Veterinarian.
