Hour 1 – Jeff continues the discussion with Certified Animal Behavior Consultant and award winning author Darlene Arden. Last time she talked about how to choose a vet for your pet. This time we talk about Pet Insurance and alternative methods of funding a pet’s health care. Can you believe it! We have enough trouble in this country with human health care and now we are even talking about pet health care! Did you get that new pet for Christmas? Do you know someone that did? Jeff gives a few tips on learning more about taking care of that pet. Do you have some New Year Resolutions? Ever heard of Wishbomb.com? It’s a goal setting web site that is actually a community of people that help support each other to reach their goals! Jeff’s New Year Resolution for Butch.

Hour 2 – Jeff looks at the year 2011 in review. Talks about some of the things that guests have taught us about animals and pets and also takes a look at some of the top news stories of 2011. Remember the mass bird die off that happened in Alabama, Arkansas, and Italy? How about the discovery of a new dinosaur that was found in a British natural history museum? Dr. Patrick mahaney joins Jeff to talk about “Mutt Health.” Jeff has discussed that Mutts or mixed breed Dogs can be healthier than a pure bred dog because they are pulling from a larger gene pool than a pure bred…well this might not be entirely true! Jeff also talks about some of the things coming up in 2012…Remember “Daniel” The Beagle Mix that survived being “gassed” in Alabama? Well the little fella has found a home in New Jersey after surviving the dog pound’s attempt at euthanizing him.

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.
