Dr. Pete talked a lot about baking cookies, which does not require years of vet school to do. That was followed by the less appetizing topic of vitriol in dogs' eyes. We also heard about what treats to leave for reindeer.

In good news we heard that the Australian fellow who recently disarmed a shooter at Bondi Beach was the recipient of two and a half million dollars raised via gofundme. We learned a fellow known only as John helped catch the man who killed two people at Brown university and one at MIT. There was also a story that would probably make a good movie, of a pet that was reunited after years and many miles of separation from its family.

Alex and Rosemary had the same movie pick of the week: Is This Thing On?

We wished Phil in Sarasota a special happy birthday.
