Ali who has been caring for Clementine through a bout of intestinal issues and a potentially tough diagnosis, talks not only about how she managed herself through the process--at the ER vet and since--but also how she spied on her dog sitter who also happened to be her dad when she didn’t get a prompt update on Clem from him via phone. And Betsy shares the story of how she is helping a homeless man care for himself and his beautiful dog. Tune in, and if you’re a crazy dog person too, well you’ll definitely feel less alone.

March 08, 2022 Ep. 53 - Canine Chemistry
On this week’s episode of Dear Dog, Betsy and Ali talk about chemistry between dogs, as well as between people and dogs. First Ali tells us about Clementine’s special friend Ham; a Frenchie in their neighborhood whom Clem just adores. This friendship would have been hard to predict as Ms Clem does NOT love all creatures big and small, and yet there’s just a connection. Similarly not all people have chemistry with all kinds of dogs. A&B talk about what their perfect dog matches are, and guess what…they couldn’t be more different! Tune in to hear what each thinks of as the ideal dog traits. All that, some catch up on Clem’s health, a discussion of Migraine medicine, and a dose of yiddish for good measure!
