Helping Rescues with donations from their book sales!

Kyla Duffy joins us to talk about “Happy Tails Books” in Colorado and the work they are doing donating to rescues around the country from the sales of their books. Beginning in Spring of 2009 they have already been able to donate over $3000 to help shelters find homes for worthy pets! They take submissions of stories about all breeds of dogs and add them to the book. Check out what breeds they are writing about now at their Web Site and see if you have a good story for them!

RESCUE SHELTER OF THE WEEK 

YOU can help rescue these magnificent animals!

April Hoirowitz is the President and Founder of Heart of a Horse. April was not originally a “horse” person but she tells us the touching story of how she came to have such compassion for these majestic animals. Domestic horses are NOT like the wild mustangs roaming the plains of our country, just like our house dogs are NOT like the wolves and cyotes that roam around in the wild! Domestic horses need love, care, and yes unfornately, rescuing also. Live in a city apartment? Don’t have room for a horse on your couch? Well, guess what, YOU can help rescue a horse! Listen in and find out how.

 VET TOPIC OF THE WEEK

Vet to the Stars!

This week Dr. Patrick talks about a specific problem that his dog Cardiff has had with his immune system. Find out what “IMHA” is and how it can affect your pet as well as what some of the symptoms are. It’s a good thing Dr. Patrick is a Veterinarian as he knew exactly what was wrong with Cardiff and how to help him. Listen in to his comments and also check out Cardiff’s IMHA Blog where he talks about this ailment that required a hospital stay!

An A Cappella Noel by Tina Lambert produced by Jeff Marginean!

Check more of Tina's Music!

I had the pleasure of working with Tina putting this album together and producing this project. Submitted for Grammy consideration last year, this collection of Classical Christmas songs shows not only Tina’s range and expertise as a vocalist but also her technical ability to get the tracks recorded! Tina is featured on two other Christmas CD’s where she is in the company of superstars such as Huey Lewis, Stephen Bishop, and Dennis DeYoung. Even William Shatner did a track. I am very proud of Tina as she also produced another CD herself, learning the steps that we took on the production of the first one. She definitely has what it takes and I look forward to working with her again in the future! Check out more of her music on her Web Site!

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!

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!
