Our pets mean the world to us and we go out of our way to pamper them, from gourmet cat treats to doggie daycare. We should, of course, also demand the very best when it comes to their health. But how do we choose the right veterinarian? How do we know if our pets are receiving proper medical treatment or the most effective therapy when they are sick?

MICHAEL A. KELLY’S THIS VET’S AUTOBIOGRAPHY, is an autobiographical account of his life to date, through the good and the bad and the ups and the downs. It details his only brother’s capitol crime. It also details his difficulties in dealing with, as he sees it, a corrupt and fraudulent veteran’s administration. The injustices and lack of social and administrative justice in both the State and Federal Judicial systems. The few friends the author has have helped him considerably; for it not for these few friends, this book would have been written from prison as opposed to the public library.

The Secret Apartment is an unintended memoir. It began as a way to amuse friends as a diversion in the early days of stress, isolation, and fear in the spring of 2020 and the Pandemic caused by the deadly Covid-19 Virus. We had no way of knowing how bad things were going to be or how long isolation and social distancing might last. It was a frightening time and my only intention was to provide friends with a momentary diversion and some entertainment in hard times. Favorable encouragement pushed me into half-forgotten memories and these stories came tumbling out. My "diversion" came to life as something I have to share with others. I began working on The Secret Apartment as a memoir to be presented as a collection of short stories Though fanciful, these are true stories based on actual events. This is not the product of my imagination. I didn't have to make anything up. I didn't have to and everything presented is both true and correct.I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I enjoyed living them.
