Actress Kristina Klebe fosters cats and dogs!

Beauty, which is obvious, brains, she speaks multiple languages, and a heart to care for homeless pets! Kristina Klebe has fostered dogs and cats for shelters including “Best Friends” but wisely does not have a pet to call her own! “With my schedule as hectic as it is, it’s just not fair to have a pet at this point in my life.” Kristina sets a good example for those thinking of getting a pet. “It’s a long term responsibility!” Thanks for being with us Kristina and we look forward to seeing you on the Silver screen soon!
Kristina has appeared on “Law and Order,” “Law and Order: SUV,” “Rescue Me,” and the German television program “St. Angela.” She is also known for her leading role as Lynda in Rob Zombie’s remake of “Halloween.” Prior to this portrayal, Klebe played a part in Spike Lee’s 2004 seriocomic meditation , “She Hate Me.” Kristina’s film “Peter and Vandy” starring Jason Ritter premiered at Sundance 2009, and she is also starring in the upcoming film “The Accidental Husband” with Uma Thurman and Isabella Rossellini, set to be released mid 2009.

Even wild animals need a shelter sometimes. Check out this baby moose that lost its Mom and was rescued from a creek by an animal lover. This little guy can’t be more than days old and would have surely died. Hear the story on the show! We will resume our Pet Shelter segment next week!

Due to this problem we have to reschedule Barbara Howard to discuss the pet recipes she was going to present. My apologies to her as she had to leave to do her own show The Recipe Box which is also a Blog talk radio offering.

Anyway, we were able to get the interview with Denise Fleck of Sunnydogink.com to discuss the important issue of pet First aid and CPR. Deinise has appeared on Animal Planet’s “The Goomer Has it” TV show as well as on PBS TV’s ”Lassie’s Pet Vet.”  During this holiday season it is important to know how to handle these family emergencies as safely and quickly as possible. We all have the potential to know how to care for our pets as well as our family members but you will need the correct knowledge and supplies to do it effectively. Denise brings a wealth of knowledge to the show and practical tips on caring for your animal in the event that it will need emergency care.

She also offers Pet First Aid kits as well as Hand Painted Ceramic items on her web site at SunnyDogInk.com. These are great gift ideas for the upcoming season. Check out her web site for personal stories and other great information on her pet first aid and CPR classes

Denise was a delightful guest and I want to thank her for her diligent persuit of our switchboard during the malfunction. I want to have her on again soon so we can give a recap for the holidays.

Dr. Patrick Mahaney of California Pet Acupuncture and Wellness joined us to discuss the pet question of the week: How Does Chocolate affect my Pet?”
