In this episode, we've got the one, the only, Marcia Strong!!!!! Marcia is a Certified Master Groomer, master grooming certifier, Kerry Blue Terrier enthusiast, and competitive dog groomer! She was kind enough to come on the show and share with us all about how to dive headfirst into the world of competitive grooming. This was SUCH a fun conversation, and I hope everyone who is considering getting into competitive grooming gets a little confidence boost from this episode! Everyone was a beginner once upon a time, so don't be intimidated to give it a try!

Welcome back to another installment of "Interesting Animal Jobs!" In this episode, we'll be learning all about 3 new animal related careers (other than the usual Veterinarian, Trainer or Groomer) that anyone with a love of animals might be interested in pursuing! We're discussing Zookeepers, Animal Cruelty Investigators, and one of my personal favorites, Farriers! Anyone who'd like to work with animals, wild or domesticated, can find some really cool inspiration here!

But that's not all! We're also bringing in our very first *Animal Superstar Shoutout* where we bring in an animal organization and shout out the amazing work they're doing. For our first shoutout, I am so excited to introduce you to Project Canis. In today's episode, I got to talk to the lovely Paris Miller, who is the founder of Project Canis, and a pretty cool person! If you'd like to find her segment in the show, it starts at 4:57. If you'd like to follow Project Canis and the wonderful work they're doing to provide shelter pets with toys, you can find them at: theprojectcanis (Facebook and Instagram) and www.Projectcanis.org

or you can even shoot them an email at [email protected] to get information on how YOU can volunteer to help them out from the comfort of your own home!

Today, we're talking about former NFL quarterback Michael Vick and his merry band of cohorts (Tony Taylor, Quanis Phillips, Devon Boddie, and Purnell Peace), but way more importantly, we're going to talk about the heroic efforts shelters and rescue organizations made to save the dogs he tortured and exploited! I'm not gonna lie, pet people, this one has me very angry and sad. But I do think this is a very important story to tell. Especially since history was made in this case, and though it may only be a small step forward in the fight against animal cruelty, I want to celebrate it! Listen to learn about how "Bad Newz Kennels" turned from a place of absolute horror to a haven for safety and hope. Hopefully, with more eyes opened to the special kind of hell that is dog-fighting, we'll be able to put a stop to it forever!

Welcome to a history-filled episode, listeners!! This one was so much fun to research! Listen to learn all about the origin of the modern-day carbon monoxide detector, the inventions created to provide safety for both miners AND their birds, as well as some really cool facts about sentinel species and what makes them so helpful to humans! Humans going down into mines learned to rely on canaries for their own safety, but what makes this so amazing is that they also bonded with their feathered friends!
