- Episode 104 Check In
This week we get caught up with Halloween decorations, doggone hikes, medical and doggie playdate updates. There is a giant spider and lots of chaos with this fun check-in.
1 hr 2 min - Episode 103 Witches' Familiars
This week to ring in the spooky season we are discussing Witches' Familiars. We have our number one fan, April, who also happens to be witch and therefore an expert on witchcraft and magic. What is a familiar? Is it a black cat or was it a word used by the establishment to kill someone they didn't like. Or is it a bit of both?

57 min - Episode 95 Pets in Conflict Zones
TRIGGER WARNING! We are discussing pets and animals in active war zones. Danielle thought it would be a good idea to at least discuss the hardships and conviction of people who try to help animals in conflict zones so please join us for this bitter sweet episode. It truly shows that even in the darkest situations, people are good and will risk their lives to take care of animals.
If you are able and would like to donate to causes that help support animals in conflict zones, we are plugging Four Paws International because they do a lot of work world wide: https://donate.four-paws.org/s/
