This week – Hour 1: With the economy still in a rut and many people not being able to find jobs, many are starting their own businesses. Debby Lenning, President of Women in the Pet Industry Association joins Jeff to talk about what they are doing to help get businesses started in the pet world. With over 200 companies joining just this year alone, the pet business shows no signs of slowing down and they can help you make important connections. Dr. Patrick Mahaney joins us to talk about a disaster preparrdness checklist. Did you know that people, children, and pets ALL swallow small items? REALLY? Things not meant to be swallowed can be bad but small disc batteries are among those things that are swallowed that can cause serious life long damage and can even be fatal to children and pets. Listen in for information and a web site you can view to see more about this and how it happens.
Hour2: Have you ever misinterpreted an email or a social media message? Me Neither…What…are you kidding me!?! EVERYONE has misinterpreted an electronic message of some kind at one time or another.

"An Animals Best Friend!"

 Dr. Kim Bloomer joins us to talk about the danger of this when communicating with someone about, most specifically, your pet’s health. Be careful (and objective) when reading something on-line! Denise Fleck of sunnydogink.com is the president of the Volunteers of the Burbank Animal Shelter and is here to talk about some upcoming events and what they are up to. 2011 Coon Hound World Championships are being held this week. News and announcements – new website helps you track rescues and which ones you want to donate to and there is a great on-line dating service for “Farmers Only!” Don’t laugh..think about it…farmers do not have the opportunity to meet people like most do. This is a great idea and great for farmers who work during every waking hour! They need love too!
