Dee and Terry discuss puppy development on today’s episode of Bark Radio. Learn what’s going on with your new pup from her early weeks through young adulthood. Get tips on working through potential fear issues and learn that with the advent of positive dog training, your pup’s obedience training can begin as soon as you bring her home.
Dee and Terry discuss puppy mills in today’s episode of Bark Radio. What is a puppy mill? It is a mass dog breeding operation. Where are puppy mill puppies sold? Usually in pet stores or online. Never, ever buy a puppy from a pet store! Looking at breeders online? Research carefully to ensure the breeder is reputable. And think twice about buying that puppy. Consider adopting an adult dog from a rescue group instead. Do you consider yourself a responsible pet parent? If so, do your part right. Take the HSUS pledge to stop puppy mills!
A great time was had by all at Tuesday night’s University of Richmond vs. VCU men’s soccer game in Richmond, VA. Terry and Dee were there and had a chance to talk with some terrific folks. Listen to today’s interview and learn more about Friday’s march on Washington, DC for canine cancer research. Luke Robinson, Hudson and Murphy, the Great Pyrenees, and their Mommy G talked with us (well, two of them did), as did Joanne Silverman, Director of Fetch-A-Cure.

A Conversation with Tom McPhee
Many of us watched in horror – from a safe distance – the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Tom McPhee was there. He witnessed the tragedy that befell those who called the Gulf Coast home. Including the animals. Especially the dogs and cats who were suddenly not only homeless … but helpless. Filmmaker McPhee has created a powerful statement about that time – about the heroes and villains who were there and who walk among us. Join us in a conversation with Tom. And when An American Opera: The Greatest Pet Rescue Ever! comes to your city or town, see it. And remember … it could happen again.
