Lots of laughs with the half psych, half prog, half rock theater band The Toxhards who come on the show to talk about their past and present dogs that include Maisie, Archer, Henry, Hoss, Simon, Molly, Hershey and Ringo. They also speak about the inspiration behind their newly released single Should We Get a Dog? that came out on February 16th. Plenty of great stories and a spontaneous drop in by bassist Alan Macchiarolo's parents make this episode one for the ages.

The band and their folks gave a couple shout outs to some great animal resources. First was Fetching Zen Dog Training which is a Los Angeles based human first dog training solution that empowers owners with the tools and structure to succeed with their four-legged best friends.

The second shout out goes to Safari Animal Rescue which is an acronym for Special Animal Friends And Rescue, Inc whose focus is on rescuing dogs from the streets, shelters and homes, where they are unwanted, and placing them into foster homes until a perfect family is found to adopt them.
