Joy with (L-R) Logan, Venus, Mercury, Amira

Joy Turner was back with us back in October of 2008! Wow how time flies. She was nice enough to come on the show back then when we were a very new show and now she joins us again to talk about what she has been up to and even gives Joe a few tips on handling the birds that he is training to display at our local parks system. Joe was a bit intimidated by the rather large Hawk they placed on his arm and was asking Joy some questions about how to handle it from a mental perspective. I know there are a lot of skeptics out there when it comes to animal communication but I am no one to judge. Whether you are a skeptic or not , Joy Turner is a delightful and interesting lady to talk to and we look forward to doing more with her in the near future! Listen to what she has to say on this week’s show! 

Phil Blizzard is the inventor of Thundershirt!

I’ve done a lot of talking lately about Butch’s “Thunderphobia” which taunts him every time a storm rolls in. Loud noises, fireworks, you name it…everything but the Military Channel in surround sound! That doesn’t bother him in the least. Anyway it does not surprise me that Phil is an Engineer as he talks to us about the process and research that went into the design of this product. As an engineer myself, I’m not surprised to find out the extent to which this was researched and it has been proven to work! I’m going to get one for Butch and try it out!

Dr. Donna Spector

Dr. Donna Spector joined us again this week and I’m happy she’s back with us! Dr. Spector talks with me this week about Feline Heartworms. Now, heartworm disease is more commonly thought of as a “dog” issue but our cats can suffer from it just the same. Dr. Donna tells us the details and issues than can arise from this so if you have a cat or know someone that does you’ll want to listen in. We also discuss “Vegan” diets for our pets. With a few new “Vegan” pet foods on the market these days you really need to know what you are doing BEFORE your pet developes problems from feeding a strictly vegan diet. You know, just because you may be a vegan doesn’t mean you should force your pet to be one also! Research this issue!

John O'Hurley and David Frei Hosting the National Dog Show Presented by Purina

 It was great fun to talk with David and John over the last couple of weeks. They bring so much knowledge and style to the dog show each year that it was an honor to get their opinions and insight for this traditional Thanksgiving event for the My Buddy Butch Talk Show! Each year David and John fill us in on the latest happenings in the dog world and this year was no exception. Listen in on what these guys are up to and don’t forget to check out the show coverage on the NBC Web Site! 

Tiffany Simons was your sideline reporter for the National Dog Show

We were also joined by Tiffany Simons who did the sideline reporting for the broadcast. Tiffany has been reporting for NBC Sports so you may recognize her from The 2009 Westminster Dog Show as well as some other small events like SuperBowl XLI and XLII! Tiffany made the rounds in the benching area to cut a few vids with the owners and handlers getting their dogs ready for the ring. Tiffany shares her experience with us on the MBB Radio show and tells us her plans for future shows. We look forward to talking to her again as she will be at Westminster again in 2010!

I was able to catch up with John Miller who is VP of NBC Sports, and the man behind the National Dog Show, in the Press Room at the Philadelphia Expo Center. John shared with me the original idea and how everyone worked together to bring us this annual family tradition for the last 8 years! The National Dog Show Presented by Purina!

Dog Shows are in fact sporting events!

We also had Pam Mayes of the Alabama Pug Rescue with us who is the 2009 winner of Purina’s “Doing More For Pet’s Rescue Stories Contest.” Told us the heartbreaking story of “Faith,” a Boxer that had been neglected for weeks after being hit by a car. Listen to this great story with a truly happy ending!

RESCUE SHELTER OF THE WEEK

Adopt-Volunteer-Donate_Foster

Dr. Jo-Anne Dixon of The Animal Shelter of Wood River Valley joins us this week to talk about the great work they are doing in this very caring community in Idaho. This is the first “no-kill” shelter in the State of Idaho! They promote companion animal welfare by providing temporary shelter for homeless animals, adopting them out to qualified homes and reducing animal abuse, neglect , and overpopulation through community education and spay/neuter services. See thier Web Site to see the amazing care they take with these animals and how you can help.

VET TOPIC OF THE WEEK

Vet to the Stars!

This week Dr. Patrick gives us  a few reminders for our Thanksgiving Day festivities and how to have a healthy day with Fido! He reminds us all to “Give Thanks For our Pet’s Health this Thanksgiving!” Check out his article on this subject!

HALO Pet products are "all natural" and "provide the best in Holistic Pet Care!"

It was so nice to hear from Dr. Donna Spector. As most of you know Dr. Donna delivered a beautiful baby girl in October and Mom, Dad, Big Brother, and Baby are all doing just great! Dr. Donna stopped in to wish us a Happy Thanksgiving and talk to us a bit about calculating your dog’s age. The old 7 year multiplier does not apply across the board for all dogs! See more about Dog Aging at the ASPCA Web Site!
