We talked to Julie from the Humane Society who gave us the details about what they do and how the adoption process works. She gave us some tips on how to be a responsible pet owner. Her top advice is to make sure you cats or any pet know they are part of the family and that they are loved. You can show them this by petting them, playing with them and just spending time with them.

Have a seat and take a listen as our very own Dr. Josh and Steve have a conversation about bullying. They talk about the difference between teasing and bullying and the fine line between the two. Dr. Josh gives us advice on how to figure out our relationship with people to know if they are teasing us or actually bullying us. A big role in teasing and bullying is our communication and how we receive what is being said. Someone may be teasing us but we may be really hurt by it. Dr. Josh brings up how our mood, words and relationships play a role in bullying. We also look at bullying from the perspective of the bully and why they are so mean to other people.

If you are being bullied or if you are the one doing the bullying we want to help you. Reach out to us on our website utalkradio.com or on social media @utalkradio.
