Host Marie Hulett chats with Maryanne Buttner from Petrosexual about her designer dog-carrying purses; Documentary Producer Kim Sill shares stories about "Saved in America," her latest film. And big news!  Because most of our listeners catch the show online rather than during the live FM radio broadcast, we are switching over to online exclusively!  This will give us a lot of new options that we did not have when we were on FM.  We will be developing a call-in format so you can call in live and discuss the issues with us.  Jeff and Ariana Isbell will be joining Marie Hulett on-air with some extra special features that you won't want to miss.  We are very excited about the new format.  We should be ready to launch in the next few weeks, in the meantime, enjoy the final, pre-recorded, last show from KJAZZ, 88.1 FM.

Today, one of our long time Pet Place Friends, Terri Steuben will be stopping by to talk about her memories of rescuing pets in Louisiana following Hurricane Katrina using her amazing animal communication abilities – she has just written a book about her adventures that commemorates the 10th anniversary of the natural disaster and all the heroes who helped save the many animals affected; then, after our half time break, Mike Johnson and I talk about his dog’s recent adventures that weren’t too pleasant.

For all of you Empire TV show fans out there, you were probably all shocked when Lucious Lyon was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis (MG).  I first heard about this MG back in the early 1980s, when a young german shepherd puppy came into the veterinary hospital where I worked and displayed all the tell-tale symptoms.  With further testing, it was confirmed that this poor pup, who was as cute as a button, was suffering from MG, and at that time, there really was not an adequate way to treat him so the owners opted for euthanasia.  It was heartbreaking all around and I never forgot that little puppy.  Well now, things have really changed and MG is being managed and treated successfully... if it’s diagnosed and treated early. To help talk about this wonderful change, I’ve invited pet parent Lois Rinehimer to the program to talk about her special dog, a goldendoodle named Joy. And  after our halftime break, Charleston Veterinary Referral Center's Dr. Katherine Crook, will talk about Joy’s case from a veterinary perspective and explain what every pet parent should be aware of in terms of watching for signs of MG.

Some of you may know that June was Adopt a Cat Month, and to shine the light on this special season, Paul Raybould, the Chief Innovation Officer for the American Humane Association is stopping by to talk about this along with some other fabulous news from his organization.  Then after our halftime break, animal communicator Nancy Gardner will share some of her insights on how to help our pets be healthy and happy.

This morning, we've invited Melissa Palomo  the Founder & President  of Street Mutts to our show.  Her organization uses photography to shine the light on the problem of pet overpopulation and it is quite amazing. Then after our halftime break, it’s bookreview time with Maryanne Dell and we all know she will be recommending some fabulous books as she always does.

Today, we are going to get you all the information about dog flu – I’m sure you’ve been hearing scary news stories about a dog flu epidemic…Well, we’ve invited Dr. Jose Arce from the AVMA to give us the straight scoop on this story so that every pet parent can do what it takes to keep their furry kids safe and healthy.  Then after our halftime break, Tracy Mulder, marketing manager for PetSafe® will be stopping by to talk about a fun contest that could bring a fabulous new dog park to your community.
