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.

"8 State Hurricane Kate" and the New "Not Without My Dog"

Jenny Pavlovic was with us in the past to talk about her award winning book “8 State Kate” which was the story of a cattle dog that she rescued during her time spent helping the people and animals during the Hurrcane Katrina disaster back in 2005. Since that time Jenny has compiled an outstanding book titled “Not Without My Dog” which I was honored to be asked to blurb. This book gives you a complete page by page listing of the information you need to collect and keep in one place so you can quickly grab it and run in the event of a disaster around your city. I recommend it highly as how many of us really have a family emergency plan? Jenny makes it easy to know what exact information you will need for yourself and family and of course your furry family member!

RESCUE OF THE WEEK

Adopt-Volunteer-Donate_Foster

Dr. Jo-Anne Dixon DVM is the Executive Director and the Medical Director for the shelter and it is always great to talk with her. They are working on a program for “Pit Bulls” to earn their AKC Canine Good Citizen Certification. THe stigma surrounding these dogs makes it very difficult for people to realize that they are very adoptable and need only the proper training to know how to behave. I’ve said  it many times “It’s not the dog, it’s the owner!” The Animal Shelter of the Wood River Valley promotes companion animal welfare by providing temporary shelter for homeless pets, adopting them to qualified homes, and reducing animal abuse, neglect, and overpopulation through community education and spay/neuter services. Listen in on the latest happenings.

VET TOPIC OF THE WEEK

Joy with (L-R) Logan, Venus, Mercury, Amira

Joy Turner was back with us back in October of 2008! Wow how time flies. She was nice enough to come on the show back then when we were a very new show and now she joins us again to talk about what she has been up to and even gives Joe a few tips on handling the birds that he is training to display at our local parks system. Joe was a bit intimidated by the rather large Hawk they placed on his arm and was asking Joy some questions about how to handle it from a mental perspective. I know there are a lot of skeptics out there when it comes to animal communication but I am no one to judge. Whether you are a skeptic or not , Joy Turner is a delightful and interesting lady to talk to and we look forward to doing more with her in the near future! Listen to what she has to say on this week’s show! 

Phil Blizzard is the inventor of Thundershirt!

I’ve done a lot of talking lately about Butch’s “Thunderphobia” which taunts him every time a storm rolls in. Loud noises, fireworks, you name it…everything but the Military Channel in surround sound! That doesn’t bother him in the least. Anyway it does not surprise me that Phil is an Engineer as he talks to us about the process and research that went into the design of this product. As an engineer myself, I’m not surprised to find out the extent to which this was researched and it has been proven to work! I’m going to get one for Butch and try it out!

MORE FOOD BANKS HELPING TO FEED PETS ALSO – (NY Times) Animal shelters around the country are being flooded with hungry pets, and to tackle the problem, charitable organizations are setting up pet food banks, with products offered within regular food pantries.

PET FRIENDLY HOTELS FROWN ON DOG POOP (Hariet Baskas MSNBC.com) – Really? They must be kidding. I thought dodging pet poop was part of the experience, part of the essence, and yes part of the BONDING process that makes hotels love it when we bring our pets! I don’t mean BONDING poop to the bottom of my shoes! I’m with you Hariet, if people can’t follow the rules of a hotel STAY HOME! It’s the few that make it bad for the rest of us.

CALIFORNIA PONDERING ‘ANIMAL ABUSERS REGISTRY’  – As reported in an article by Alison Stateman in LA on Time’s blog, California State representative Dean Flores introduced this bill in late February but during a time where not only the State has financial trouble but pet owners are also struggling, can it pass when it needs to be funded by tax dollars? Great idea for the registry…let’s watch this one!

FLORIDA TO ALLOW BREED SPECIFIC LEGISLATION - (From Pet Product news intl.)Here we go again. I’m getting really sick of talking about this… Senate Bill 1276, sponsored by Sen. Tony Hill, D-Jacksonville, allows “any local government [to place] further restrictions or additional requirements on owners of dangerous dogs.” My Buddy Butch is a very dangerous and deadly dog… to squirrels….

ANIMALS TAUGHT ME THAT - Dr. Kim Bloomer’s New Book is now available– Dr. Kim is a great friend of our show and she is a veterinary naturopath.

SAAVY EXPLORER ARTICLE - FLYING WITH PETS on the Saavy Explorer about an experience my Dad had while traveling with Buttons to Florida. 

SENIORS FOR LIVING - I had the honor of being quoted in an article on this great web site for senior citizens. I had a very nice conversation with Marianne Thomas about how having a pet can help seniors with every day life. I have seen the effect having a dog has had on my 86 year old father, so I can speak first hand on the benefits for seniors that adding this new “family member” can bring to their lives! See the article “25 Reasons Why A Pet Helps You Stay Young At Heart.” 

Date Wanted – Must Love Dogs and Butch! - I was included in an article about Dogs and Dating! Two of my favorite subjects! Dating is tough enough for me with my schedule but now any girl I meet has to pass Butch’s test before we can go on a date!
