This is an encore episode featuring our conversation with 2024 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Peter Frampton. Peter came on the show back in February of this year when he was merely a Hall of Fame nominee and gave us his first in-depth interview about his service dog Bigsby, a 3 year old black golden doodle who was trained to assist him as he navigates the effects of Inclusion Body Myositis (IBM) which Peter was diagnosed with in 2015.

We are happy to welcome Erin Barth-Dwyer of the band Overheard to the show. Erin introduces us to her beautiful 75 lb mixed-breed girl Garbo who came into her life in 2018 shortly after beating Hodgkin Lymphoma. Garbo provides emotional support, humor and has completely transformed Erin into "one of those crazy pet parents".

Overheard just released their debut album Intertwined on October 25th on Dromedary Records and is available on vinyl, CD, and your preferred streaming platform.

Erin gave this week's shout out to Dizzy’s Doggie Daycare, a bonded and insured pet sitting company located in the Hudson Valley who prioritize socialization, enrichment and group play in a safe environment for your dog with large indoor and outdoor areas.

In a band full of dog guys, this week's guest Chris Guglielmo of Bayside says he's the most obsessive of his bandmates when it comes to hanging with studio and venue dogs. Chris joins the show to tell us all about Enzo, a 3 year old Irish Wolfhound look-a-like who doesn't have an ounce of the breed in his DNA (he's a Pit, GSD, Belgian Malonois, Rottweiler mix) and his 12 year old terrier mix Maisie (aka Mu-Tang). We also pay our respects to his Cairn terrier Marty which led us to a helpful discussion around end of life care. Great talk with a good-hearted dog dad.
