Hour 1 – Teresa Carroll of “Women in the Outdoors” and the “National Wild Turkey Federation” joins Jeff to talk about the great programs that they have going on all over the country and the programs specifically for Women and Kids. Ladies, trying to have your spouse or boyfriend teach you how to hunt or fish can be daunting not to mention could end up in an argument! Women in the Outdoors is just the ticket for you. You can learn in the company of other women and Teresa tells us how. Dr. Patrick Mahaney joins us for the vet topic of the week to discuss his trip to China and do a little compare and contrast with our classically trained veterinarians here in the states. He’s a world traveler so he has seen a lot and knows how Vets stack up!

Hour 2 – Janine Franceschi of Pet Friendly Accommodations World Wide  (Luxury Paw) joins Jeff to talk about their pet friendly search engine which is the only one of it’s kind and what she has been up to since they first met at Westminster in 2009. Janine has travelled the country with her Irish Setter “Bo” to find the best 3-star and up hotels that not only accommodate but cater to you and your pet. Don’t take a trip without checking this out. We are also proud to announce that Janine will be a regular contributor to the My Buddy Butch Show and will be reviewing and talking about the best high end hotels around the country! Ever

Pot Belly Pigs make great family pets!

 thought of having a pot bellied pig as a pet. We talked about it before here on the show and Jeff was excited to talk to Vickie Barrow the owner of “The Best Little Pot Belly Pig House in Texas!” Vickie has loved pigs since she was a child on their family farm and has had Pot Bellied Pigs for the last 20 years. She has a state licensed herd in Texas and her pot bellies are highly sought after by those in Hollywood like George Clooney (we all know he had Max), J-Lo, and even Jay Leno has contacted her. Her pigs have been in movies and on TV many times! A very sweet lady doing what she loves!

THE Source for Luxury, Pet-Friendly Hotels!

This show was wall to wall information! Janine Franceschi joined us from PAW – Pet Friendly Accomodations Worldwide at Luxurypaw.com. Janine and I met in New York during the Westminster weekend and she was a delight to talk to then and now. You know…we had such a great time talking I completely forgot to have her discuss her radio show on Pet Life Radio! She even had me on her show a couple of weeks ago! You have to check out her blog because she is always updating it with new hotels and great information. If you are taking a trip you have to check in with PAW first to see which hotels will take your dog. Janine’s site is the only one that I know of that has the weight of your dog in the search and they only show 4 STAR HOTELS. Great lady, Great Site, I can’t wait to talk to her about her upcoming trip down the East Coast. Thanks Janine for sharing with us!
