Host Marie Hulett talks with Doug Poindexter, our longtime friend from America’s Family pet Expo. This is one of the biggest animal events we have in Orange County each year, and if you missed it, you missed a lot. Doug will explain why you should plan on going next year. Then, after the half time break, Caroline Charland from the bunny bunch will be stopping by to give advice about Bunny Adoptions. It’s a timely talk that we do every year, so if you are considering adopting a bunny, please listen carefully to what Caroline has to say.

And after the halftime break, Bob Carlton and Deborah Turner will be stopping by to talk about the latest news for their organization, Friends of the Long Beach Animal Shelter.

Host Marie Hulett talks with Judie Mancuso who you probably remember from the California Pet Lovers License Plate Venture.  She has a new project she’s working on…she’s trying to make it legal throughout California to bring pet dogs to restaurants that have outdoor seating.  Of course, we all know that service dogs are welcome everywhere, but it’s time for all canine companions to be able to join us at the table when we go out to eat. If anyone can make this happen, it’s Judie. Natalie Youn from doggielawn.com will explain how your apartment dwelling pet can have fresh grass for doing his personal business that isn’t artificial!
