Pet Etiquette
Darlene Arden is a Certified Animal Behavior Consultant who is the “Go To ” person for various media networks and reporters around the country. She is also a highly respected author and joins us to talk about her latest book “Rover Get Off Her Leg! Pet Etiquette for the Dog Who Pees on Your Rug, Steals the Pot Roast, and Poops in Improper Places!” We had a great time talking to Darlene about some of the “fun” of being a dog owner including the various quirks that our dogs can have. This was not your normal conversation about dogs and we had some good laughs during the discussion, but the serious topics of patience while training, “Thunder phobia,” and what to do about an eavesdropping (or just plain Staring) dog during your intimate love making moments lead us to some interesting conclusions. Not only does Darlene give us a lot of information in the book she also keeps it light with anecdotes about each situation throughout. I definitely recommend this book for anyone owning a dog. I just got into it and have already learned more about how to read “Butch’s” signals better.

RESCUE SHELTER OF THE WEEK
"The Second Chance They Deserve!"
Kip Altstaetter of the Houston Boxer Rescue joined us for our rescue segment. Kip was easy to talk to and was more than happy to tell us about the great work this young organization has been doing over the last two years. For the love of the Boxer breed and animals in general, they will rescue as many as they can and see to it that they get a second chance. This is a great breed and maybe someday Butch will need a body guard!

VET TOPIC OF THE WEEK
Vet to the Stars!
Dr. Patrick joined us to talk about the problems they have been having with Coyotes in Hollywood! Yes that’s right Hollywood California! They are in other parts of the country also like Chicago and the outlying areas. I recently learned this while visiting my good friend Dave Deremer and his family. Coyotes need to be taken seriously, as they can snatch your pet from you in broad daylight. Dr. Patrick talks about how to take precautions and Jessica Simpson’s recent sad experience with her dog “Daisy.”Â
