  • Colin Chappell and Ray
    This week my guest is Colin Chappell. Colin is an author, musician, poet, artist, train nut, D.I.Y'r, philanthropist and dedicated dog Dad. He and his partner Carol live in Oakville Ontario with an almost 80 lbs bundle of love named Ray.  Colin's heartwarming book "Who Said I Was Up for Adoption?" is about Ray and the many challenges that he and his new family faced as they adjusted to life together. Most of all, it is about what can happen when love, understanding and compassion are all freely and honestly expressed. Carol and Colin adopted Ray from The Oakville & Milton Humane Society
     
    Below are links to excerpts from each of Colin's books
    'The River' - from Just Thinking
    'Inconsistencies' - from Who's Said I Was Up for Adoption?
    'Greenwoods Election' - from The Odessa Chronicles

  • Arthur Georges & Pepi

    Today's guest is Arthur Georges.  Arthur lives in Canberra, the capital of Australia, on a 32 acre property 26 km from the centre of the city with his wife Glenda, three horses Rocky, Indy and Bobsled, and three dogs Pepi, Robson and Denis (aka Wendy). Arthur is a herpetologist and so delights in playing with the many reptiles in his back paddock, as well as getting on with his research on dragons and turtles at the University of Canberra. But his fur babies are his favourites, and the light of his life.
