As I discussed a little earlier part of tonights podcast discusses predators around your yard and how we all feel about that and how we all handle that, in addition you will hear us discuss all of our different philosophies on housebreaking with our pack…no we all don’t agree as you will hear.

In addition to that I go into great detail the trouble that I am having with Georgia and her being a very old dog and how her behavior is now affecting the pack and is endangering her safety at home. I am working on taking care of these issues with the help of Dr. Reno and hopefully I can get this situation handled better.

We were excited to have our first time guest for our podcast with Dr Reno. 

We had many things to discuss but first and foremost the subject of the high rate of suicide in veterinarians was a very important topic for Dr Reno to hopefully help all of understand their industry better. The difficulties brought on due to Covid that none of them expected and the stress on vets causing the statistics of suicide to be one of the highest in the nation. 

I encourage you to listen and help everyone understand exactly why this is happening, it’s probably nothing you’ve thought about before, and we are hoping to educate the public about this subject.

When we began recording a podcast we knew that we would be sharing many things about our lives, our jobs, our dogs, and sometimes what happens in our lives is difficult, sometimes we go through the process of loss and that happens with rescue dogs, our own dogs and even village members that have adopted from us and have become like family to all of us.

This podcast is exactly that, the discussion of the week we just went through, our thoughts and our feelings about all of it. All of our podcasts won't be funny, or about educating, sometimes its just about us and loss and things and people we care about and that's what this one is.

Tonights podcast will have you joining us for conversation about a lot of things. Sir Frederick taken to the ER, the struggles with Richie, the struggles of taking care of extremely old dogs and their end of life.

We also spent some time talking about Panda Bear and the difficulties in finding a home for her, due to her psychologically being damaged and all of the thoughts and decisions that go into choosing a home for her.

We also discussed the admiration and appreciation we have for our medical team and how much it means to us to have a relationship with all of them, not only for our rescues but for our own personal dogs too.

As I said earlier with a short promo of this podcast. The subject matter is about breeders. As I explain in this podcast that term is too broad, and the great breeders are tossed in with the garbage breeders and made into villains as if they are the same as commercial breeders or worse yet dirty hoarder backyard breeders. This scale is huge everyone, and cannot be thrown into one pile together.

I have always been a supporter of reputable breeders and I always will be, but you must understand what the two different worlds look like and why they are not the same.

I didn't want to talk about designer dogs but invariably because of what has happened in our society with them, and the phenomena and demand that exists it was impossible to avoid. I will not disparage the dogs themselves but we don't hold back on how we feel about this subject, and the suffering the dogs take on because of it.  its a shame, a damn shame. Yes I recognize that some people are rescuing designer dogs, but the vast majority of them are purchased continuing this cycle, and no matter how you feel about that we take the time to express our opinion about the Doodle phenomena and how they do not fall into the category of coming from a reputable breeder and why.

Once again this is a very large topic, and we will revisit it again and again, dogs are our passion and that's one of the things we love about having a podcast is to express our thoughts and feelings on subjects with dogs that mean a lot to us.

This is our 31st podcast and normally the video versions of our podcasts require a subscription, it's rare when we release one to the public for free and this is only the second time we have done so.

Please remember our goal with what we do on social media and in our podcast is provide information and education, and that is why we determined that this podcast would be shared to all. We hope our subscribers understand our mission and why we have opted to do that this time.

Tonights podcast is all about dogs and behavior. We try and stay on the subject of bringing a dog into your house, the issues that arise, how to go about doing that in the best way. There are lots of variables to this subject and we try and go into detail on all of the aspects. We go into details on submissive dogs, middle of the pack dogs, and dominant dogs and we even headed down the road to talk about dog parks a little bit.

We hope there is some helpful information in this podcast and if it leads to more questions then by all means shout out your questions and it may be a future podcast in the making.

Tonights podcast we spend some time talking about Jim Bob, the details on his rescue, happier times and stories of who he was, and of course his passing. Travis couldn’t attend this podcast he was just too sad about Jim to come and discuss.

Bryan and Jim Bob truly had a love affair like no other. Breaks my heart that he has lost him.

We discussed further in the podcast about the rescue and many of the details on issues that arise with us and how we make decisions about rescuing more dogs and all of the factors that go into our day to day lives with the rescue.

Puppies and baseball and donuts - oh my!

Sometimes when we sit down to record a podcast we don’t really have an idea of what we want to talk about - this was one of those times. We had some bear pups with us, talked about the donut group of rescues including the new pup Munchkin, and of course the conversation was derailed down a number of tracks… 

The most controversial of which HAS to be what I call “Burger Wars” 

In’N’Out vs Whataburger - have a listen to our spirited debate and tell us what side y’all choose!
