In this episode of Tails Between Old Friends, we dive into the hilarious, heartfelt, and sometimes tricky realities of living with pets. Whether you’re a new pet parent or a seasoned animal lover, this episode is packed with stories and advice you won’t want to miss.

First, we explore the age-old question: what are the easiest pets to keep? From low-maintenance companions to pets that bring big personality with minimal effort, we break down which furry (or not-so-furry) friends might be the right fit for different lifestyles.

Then, we share the chaos and comedy of moving cross-country with multiple pets. Hear what it’s like to juggle crates, car rides, and countless bathroom breaks on a long-distance move, and learn a few tips for making big transitions smoother for both pets and their humans.

If you’ve ever struggled with late-night barking, restlessness, or anxious pets, our nighttime advice segment will hit home. We trade stories and practical strategies to help you (and your pets) get some much-needed sleep.

Of course, no episode would be complete without a clever animal story: one listener’s dog has figured out how to ask for walks without actually asking—and the creative strategy will leave you smiling.

Finally, we tackle an “Am I the A**hole?” dilemma that many pet owners can relate to: is it wrong not to let kids pet your dog? We dig into the boundaries, safety concerns, and social expectations behind this common question.

Join your hosts for laughter, learning, and plenty of tails that celebrate the quirks and joys of life with pets. Whether you’re searching for pet care tips, funny dog stories, or relatable moments from fellow animal lovers, this episode of Tails Between Old Friends has it all.
