  • 25. Abbreviated Theory

    Hey guys,

    I got a head cold in between recording this weekend, so we've got a shortened episode this week. Luckily, we got News for Dogs in the can before my voice disappeared into my nasal cavity, so we got some great stories for you:

    Wild dogs know how to vote! Pretty Boy Floyd on the loose (or How the Eclipse Really Did Affect One Animal's Behavior)! Fancy horses at JFK! And how Zoo Miami preps their the animals ride out Hurricane Irma.

    (You can donate to the Houston SPCA here, btw.)

    Thanks for your patience! We'll be back with a full episode next week, so send in your questions.
