Dear Dog It's Us, Ali & Betsy episodes

  • 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!
