Construction on his dream home is progressing at a snail's pace, but everything else in
Dr. Dave's complicated life is charging ahead full tilt. He's hired a recent graduate to assist

with a multitude of eccentric clients and unpredictable patients: Petunia, the housebroken calf;
Skroopchuck, the cat from hell; Snowball, the cockatoo with a taste for blood; Greta Maletta,
