Did you know that Mary Tyler Moore has a diabetic alert dog? And he’s is a pitbull. How cool is that? Next, Terry tells us about a natural cedar treatment for pests including fleas and ticks. The version for yards even turns snakes around and sends them scurrying the other way.  And today’s vent is about Terry’s run-in with an idiot and a big lesson about how NOT to train a dog. Argh! And finally a tip of the hat to the Dingo, Australia’s wild dog.

Terry and Dee visited Kat Simons recently in her studio at Lite 98. These three animal lovers talked about working dogs, homeless animals, upcoming events, and much more. Murphy the therapy dog was along to provide chocolate therapy to one and all.

Dee was in Granite, Colorado recently with Wildrose Kennels’ Mike Stewart and type 1 diabetic Abi Thornton and her diabetic alert dog, Mr. Darcy. In this interview, learn how Mr. Darcy has changed Abi’s life and how you can help other diabetics attain a service dog through Mike’s Wildrose Foundation. Find more about diabetic alert dogs at www.diabeticalertdogs.blogspot.com and www.diabeticalertdog.com.

Dee was solo recently in Oxford, Mississippi. She was there to attend a Diabetic Alert Dog Workshop hosted by Mike Stewart at his world-renown Wildrose Kennels. Mike and some of his dogs were featured on the cover of Forbes magazine in April. Dee’s interview is with Mike and Cathy Stewart; the Thortons – Rachel (the woman responsible for making the workshop happen and one of our heroes), daughters Lydia and Abi – with her diabetic alert dog, Mr. Darcy; and the Boyd family from South Carolina – father Richard, mother Stacy, and son Reb, with his new puppy, Lilly, a 3-1/2 month old fox red Lab from Wildrose. Lilly is being trained as Reb’s diabetic alert dog. For more information, visit our diabetic alert dog blog. You can also become a fan of Wildrose on Facebook and follow them on Twitter.
