Cowgirls Don't Cry

By Marinel J. Poppie and Marinel J. Poppie DVM

An adventure packed story for all ages makes this book difficult to set aside, as it reveals the life story of a Montana ranch girl, who since early childhood dreams of becoming a veterinarian. Her early encounters with a wide variety of animals provide her knowledge that only animals can teach and she becomes an avid equestrian, training many types of horses. Her childhood was full of adventure and surprises and her ability to survive makes her determined and tenacious-failure is not in her vocabulary.From early childhood to her golden years, her life is filled with challenges. Some are overbearing, some sad, and many are filled with humor and unexpected events that continually mold her resilience and leave the reader wondering what else could she possibly experience?Her four years in veterinary college when a female student was nearly nonexistent, are laced with humor. For forty years she practiced veterinary medicine with dedication while experiencing amazing situations. Finally selling her practice, she embarks on her other true love, ranching and purchases a twenty-thousand acre cattle ranch in the rugged mountains of New Mexico. Living alone, she embraces the wilderness, wild cattle and the challenges for survival in the midst of the fury and beauty of nature. She never forgets that life is to enjoy and hard times are best overcome by knowing how to fit fun into the package of life.
