Kris and I uncover the secrets of lab-grown diamonds, embracing the science that sculpts these lustrous marvels.

We'll even delve into the high-stakes world of diamond selection, sharing a tale from my own quest for the perfect engagement ring.

But the sparkle doesn't stop with gemstones; we're beyond thrilled to welcome Michelle Waitzman to our show. Her insights on the therapeutic wonder of dogs, and her book "Be as Happy as Your Dog," promise to shed light on how our furry friends can teach us to cherish the joys of life, wagging tails and all.

This week's conversation is a heartfelt blend of the technical and the tender, as we examine the remarkable role of therapy dogs in supporting patients through the rigors of hemodialysis. These four-legged companions offer more than comfort; they're a beacon of hope and adherence in a sea of medical monotony. As we pivot from the clinical to the canine, Michelle Waitzman captivates us with her tales of rescue dogs and the paw-prints they leave on our hearts. Her approach melds the wisdom of wagging tails with the principles of positive psychology, unlocking the secret to a more fulfilled existence.

Finally, we wrap up with a nod to life's simple pleasures, and how moderation can make a treat truly a treat—cue memories from "Parks and Recreation" and the exuberance of "Treat Yo' Self" day. From self-publishing trials to pet antics, we share a slice of our lives, including the gentle giant, Bunsen, and his escapades as a misunderstood 'big baby' dog!
