Hour 1- Marine Biologist Rick Rosenthal stops by to talk to Jeff about his work filming the Blue Fin Tuna.

Did you know that these fish can reach 10 feet in length and weigh in at 1500 pounds? Incredible!

Hour 1 – Scott Hunt is co-owner of “Practical Preppers” which is a company that specializes in determining how preparred an individual is in the event of a disaster. Scott was one of the experts that provided his extensive knowledge for the National Geographic Channel’s show “Doomsday Preppers.” This is becoming quite the topic these days and Scott tells Jeff about some of the people he has talked to about this subject. Shame on us if we don’t start getting prepared and something bad hits. Jeff talks about a recent cooking project in trying to cook dinner for Butch from groceries bought on his regular weekly trip. He also gives an easy to make recipe and suprizingly enough Butch actually LOVED IT! With the recalls on jerky made in China Jeff also ventured once again into the jerky realm and tells you how to do it with some things in your kitchen and your oven. News and announcements.

Hour 2 – Dr. Patrick Mahaney of California Pet Acupuncture and Wellness, our “Vet to the Stars” in Hollywood joins Jeff to talk about his trip to the Westminster Dog Show in New York. Every year there seems to be something new going on and since Jeff could not make the trip this year for their annual breakfast meeting, Dr. Patrick carried the mantle of reporting his findings. Naturally the 6 newly introduced breeds were a big hit and Dr. Patrick was able to attend some of the additional functions, even the ….fashion show? Also, during the period where Butch was in peril the past month Jeff had the opportunity to talk with one of Butch’s Veterinarians Dr. Troy Larson in detail about some of the traveling that he has done over the years and his most recent mission trip to Brazil. Dr. Troy, along with his Church group, travel around the world on mission trips helping children and people from all walks of life. Dr. Troy Larson and Dr. David Soehnlen of Soehnlen’s Veterinary Clinic are the two people responsible for literally saving Butch’s life as Jeff really thought he was going to have to put him down!

This week – Hour 1 – Ever Heard of “Dogtor J?” Well his name is Dr. John B Symes and he is a well known Veterinarian from Alabama that has done extensive research on some of the causes of seizures in pets. Now Butch has been doing pretty well over the last couple of weeks since his seizure episode, so Jeff have been doing more research on what to be feeding him on a more natural diet. He wants to be sure that he is getting all of the right things in his diet and start doing away with the bad! From over ten years of medical and nutritional research Dr. John B. Symes or “Dogtor J” developed “The G.A.R.D.” an elimination diet for the treatment of most conditions afflicting man and his four-legged companions. Dogtor J joins Jeff to talk about how he came up with this diet, what he recommends feeding out Cats and Dogs, and answers Jeff’s big question, “If I prepare food for Butch on my own how can I be sure he is getting what he needs?” You’ll be surprised to know those folks who are feeding table scraps are not too far from the right answer as long as there is not too much sodium (salt) or things they shouldn’t be eating like onion/garlic, grapes raisins …the usual suspects. News and Announcements Killer Whales are sueing SeaWorld and The Pakistanis land a 40 foot long shark!

Hour 2 – National Geographic has a new 10 part series called “Doomsday Preppers.” Now you might think that this is a crazy thing for people to be getting ready for the end of the world and Jeff has even joked about not scheduling any meetings past December 21st because of the end of the Mayan calendar but what is YOUR definition of “Doomsday?” Are you prepared for a major Flood in your city? How about a Hurricane like Katrina or a tornado that rips through destroying your city. How about a power outage that lasts for days or weeks. Well these are all things that can happen, they are not funny nor is it Crazy to be prepared for them. Tim Reynolds talks with Jeff about Doomsday Prepping and also about a great invention that he came up with called the “Crovel.” Dr. Patrick Mahaney our Vet to the Stars in Hollywood checks in with Jeff to catch up on some of the things he has been up to and discusses the mid-winter safety tips for pets. News and Announcements – Westminster Dog Show is this week and Chicken Jerky from China is back in the news again…

National Geographic Presents “The Lady With 700 Cats” on Nat Geo Wild. Lynea Lattanzio owner of the “Cat House on the Kings” was not allowed to have a kitten when she was a child…well today she ownes California’s largest no-kill, no-cage, lifetime sanctuary for cats and has saved over 18000 cats (and 5000 dogs) and she joins Jeff to talk about the show and how things are going! Jeff, being a history hobbiest gives a few facts that we bet you did not know about the most popular pet in America. Dr. Patrick Mahaney our vet to the stars in Hollywood stops in to get caught up and talk alittle about the heat wave and some precautions…and did you see the article in the PARADE magazine about Cats vs Dogs and which pet has the “upper paw?” Well Jeff disects the article and gives his commentary. News and announcements.

MBB Contributor Dr. Fran Walfish clinical Psychologist and author of the “Self Aware Parent” joins Jeff to talk about people who have replaced Human relationships with pets. Those who are lonely for many reasons may obtain pets to fill the void. Great discussion on this topic.   Major airline carriers have raised prices on pet flight - one has actually raised its rate to $250 ONE WAY! It’s clear they don’t want people taking pets on planes. Fatality rate among pets in flight has risen drastically over the last two years.

Series Producer Nick Stein talks about the situation on the U.S. Mexico Border

One of the biggest things that I stress on our weekly show is keeping your families safe from any kind of harm. From food and product recalls, to crime and violence, it is important to stay informed about what is going on around our country and what you can do to avoid making uninformed choices. I was lucky enough to have Nick Stein give me a call for an interview to discuss the tragic murder of David Hartley and the pain that his family and his wife Tiffany is going through. Nick also talks about the situation with our border patrol and the great work these brave Americans are doing keeping watch on this dangerous situation on our border. God Bless the work these people are doing and we should all thank them for helping keep us safe.

Shawn Heflick joined me to talk about one of the largest species of snake on earth that has invaded the Florida Everglades – the Burmese Python. Some of these giants can weigh up to 200 pounds and can reach 23 feet in length and are crawling through a swamp near you…if you live in the Florida everglades that is! Some are abandoned pets, others are believed to have escaped en masse after Hurrican Andrew barrelled through south Florida. These snakes are reproducing new generations pythons so listen in as Shawn talks about how they are hunting them down and what to do if you run across one of these creatures!
