Get ready for a wildly entertaining episode as we chat with wildlife author and animal expert Jason Bittel. We kick off the conversation with a fun game of moose facts, uncovering surprising truths about these majestic creatures like their impressive swimming abilities and their incredible speed at just five days old. You won't believe how much there is to learn about these fascinating animals!

Join us as we explore Jason's writing journey, including his work as a science educator, and his unforgettable experiences in Belize. Discover how his childhood reading habits and love for animals have led him to write for National Geographic Books, and learn about his upcoming project, Sort of Funny Field Guides, as well as other works like How to Talk to a Tiger and Other Animals, Animals Lost and Found, and The Frozen Worlds.

Finally, we discuss the mysterious and magical properties of antlers, the potential performance-enhancing effects of antler velvet supplements, and whether or not it's painful for moose to lose their antlers.

What do sassy put-downs, pregnant beagles, and dolphins in Antarctica have in common? They're all part of this week's entertaining and informative episode of Pet Chat! We kick things off by sharing Ginger's hilariously sassy interactions with dogs, celebrating a graduation milestone, and testing our knowledge with a fun game of Kahoot Now. We then discuss an amazing study from a recent science podcast that reveals the presence of  life in a deep, cold, dark lake in Antarctica.

As we continue, we delve into international pet stories, exploring potential dangers like rattlesnakes in Africa and wallabies in Australia. We also celebrate the adoption of Honey, a dog that understands Spanish, and examine the science behind dogs' ability to understand language. And if that wasn't enough, we share some exciting news about the Ginger stuffy pre-sale, with proceeds going towards funding underprivileged kids to attend Science Camp.

Finally, we discuss the challenges of naming a pregnant beagle's puppies, dive into the importance of being aware of avian flu and cyanobacteria around our pets, and share some amusing anecdotes about split pants, frozen yogurt, and alligators. We also touch on the art of overstaying jokes and pay tribute to the comedic genius of Leslie Nielsen. So buckle up and get ready for a wild ride through the world of pets on this week's Pet Chat!

Phew!  What a jam packed week!

Adam is graduating this week, it's his birthday AND I have to prep for a huge science show for our local children's festival next week!

Don't worry, the show this week is really interesting!
 
I do a deep dive into a story about an ancient lake in Antartica!  In Pet Science we look at a study had an hypothesis that for people who care more about their their family pets there might more CARE for the animals in the world affected by climate change and other situations.

Our expert guest is the hilarious and informative Dr. Katie O'Reilly who talked with us about invasive species in the fresh waters of North America.

This Pet Chat is a heavy and moving discussion. 

It was not our normal happy space as it was a much more emotional discussion about pet death and pet afterlife with some tough conversations.

We had two excellent speakers join us:

Dr Jenny McKay who is a veterinarian and reverend and
Dr. Sebastian Bol, a molecular biologist and cat expert.

This show touches on the perspective of many religions and belief systems about Pet Death and Pet Afterlife.

It may not be for you, but for those that may need to hear the words, the replay is here for you.

Again, thank you for the thoughts about our province and the wild fires.  Our family is safe, yet we know many other families are displaced.

On The Science Pawdcast this week we have to talk to about the ground breaking research that found DNA could be pulled directly from the air!  WHAT?

In Pet Science we look at dog memory and Jason talks about how he doesn't have memories from his young life because of a head injury.

Our guest in "Ask an Expert" is Hanna Marie, moving quickly to becoming Dr. Marie and you might recognize her voice as she was a guest in SciChat and we HAD to have her back to talk more about her research.

Thank you to everyone worried about our family and the fires in Alberta.  Our family is very safe, but many families northwest of us had to evacuate.  Luckily there hasn't been loss of life or tons of loss of property, so we will keep our our fingers crossed for our fellow Albertans.

In Science News on the Science Pawdcast we look at a study that found a method for how enough nitrates formed to give early life a chance on hellish Earth.  In Pet Science we check out a study that found some interesting conclusions about the cat nervous system and how that could help humans.

Our guest in Ask an Expert is pHD student Jackie Billotte, a biologist but also spider expert.  We get int a great discussion all about our eight legged friends!
