Jenny and Ashlyn discuss the Los Angeles wildfires, exploring public misconceptions about dog rescue in the aftermath of a natural disaster and the short attention span for suffering. Learn how you can support organizations making an impact for dogs in L.A., past and present. "Not Your 9 to 5" anecdotes feature DGS Alum Biggy, who swallowed a sewing cushion, and adoptable Bulldog Pebbles with an ouchy bum. You may be surprised to hear why you shouldn't have your dog's anal glands expressed and what you should do instead. In the Crazy Folder, Robert and Susan air their grievances with the rescue. Jenny answers a listener's question on pediatric spay and urinary incontinence.
