(03:38):
I'm getting a bit of a feedback thing. Do you
reckon that is?
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I don't know because I don't hear it in my
headphones better headphones than you do, so what I hear
is more important.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
It's a funny little ring. Let's see if it persistent
or no. This is how you can tell it's a
live show.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Thanks for that.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
A podcast, they would have just edited this bit entirely
hate but we're real, aren't with you? We are real
and authentic anyway, So you can you can find the show.
If you missed the live show, you can find the
show on all of those platforms, in any other podcast
app that you may have on your phone. Of course,
you listen on your computer as well. Today's show is
(04:19):
a dedicated show to Rosie and as many of you know,
on occasion I mentioned our friends Sarah back home in
the UK, and to me, she is just a model
pet pair and giving her dog's Rosie and Pip a
life that any dog would want. They go for long
country walks, that fly ball sessions, act with therapy classes,
(04:40):
good food and lots of friends to socialize with. And
Rosie had been struggling with a partial tracheal collapse that
also brought along some other health complications with it. Sarah
has done everything and everything possible for Rosie until it
got to a point, which was truly suffering and it
was unbearable for her, and of course it would be
for or her mom. And it's a decision that bears
(05:02):
the weight of the world and no one wants to
make it. But Sarah did have to make that decision
to let Rosie be in peace, and along with the
great friend Andrea, they helped to go over the rainbow bridge. Now,
as you can imagine, I was devastated to get Sarah's message,
and Rosie had a family beyond her immediate family who
loved it dearly, from the pet sitter to a flyball friends,
and they're going to miss her terribly. Rosie brought those
(05:25):
friends into Sarah's life also, which dougs have a special
way of doing that, don't they, Jim. They expand, expand
your circle of friends. So I'd like to celebrate Rosie
and her mom because they did so much for each
other and most of all, they brought loving to each
other's lives. And so this show today is dedicated to
Miss Rosie. My tip of the week kind of I'm
(05:50):
getting a weird feedback, Jim, sorry about this, everyone, Okay, well.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
It's not happening here, so continue.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
It's the kind of thing that made me like nuts
any way, So my tip of the week kind of
like goes into that. You know, how do you memorialize?
You know, memorialize? Is that even a word? Yeah? I
think it might be. But I saw a great idea
on social media using a dog's collar. It was a
memorial to a pet that had passed, and I just
thought it was really lovely. And the person who had
lost their dog had found a really pretty planter and
(06:22):
they'd placed the collar around the planter and then they
added some succulents to it and they should call it
a treasure plant. I just thought it was a very
very sweet idea. And it's just a way of saying
that they do live on and you know, a way
of you know, keeping a little bit of them around.
And we talked about that with a friend the other day,
you know about you know, people saying I can't bring
(06:45):
myself to get rid of their stuff, but do you
really have to? We haven't. We've kept all Galaxy stuff, haven't.
Weys just around the house as if she was here,
which we feel she is here. So I just thought
it was a really really sweet thing to do, really sweet.
So this show today. This is for you. We've got
that's just an updates. We've got some news updates. Oh gosh, well,
(07:06):
I mean it's the new year, Jim. Did you put
any New Year's resolutions together?
Speaker 2 (07:12):
No, I don't do resolutions. I live a good life.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
You do live a good life. But I like, I
like to do resolutions. I really really to be honest
that they're goals. When you think about it, they're goals,
and a lot of those goals always include my pets anyway.
But it inspired me to write a blog post around
goals for pet parents, and we're going to talk about
them later on in the show. So we're going to
do a little Oh I do have a resolution, go on,
(07:37):
go on?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Oh, I'm going to buy a new bicycle.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Sure is.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I'm resolute in that I will be buying a bicycle.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
To add to your other pace and it will.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Not be cheap. So I have to get a good
plan together.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Well, you have to be really good, right, I'm getting
a ring off something, I'm getting a whistle feedback. Yeah, well, no,
it's going.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
To be today because I've done all the adjustments.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
That I can that there's something it's like, you know,
sweats you know what it sounds like. It sounds like
you know, I've got a glass of water next to
me because I certainly did not hydrate enough this morning microphone,
and I will do. But if you know, when you
you know.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
When you rub, you might just have a whistle in
your nose today.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
No I don't, it's in my right ear. I can
hear you know when you get a glass, a wine
glass and you rub your finger on the top and
go that. That's what I'm hearing.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
So that's great.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
I digress, all right, thanks. Sometimes sometimes you get off track.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
And moving on and moving on with your show.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Let me change my angle a little bit on this.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
This change your angle, change your approach.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Shouldn't we all? It's a new year, Jim, So where
was going? So I've written this blog post for is
and it's for pet parents to talk about that. Just
about that shortly, Jim's had an exciting We want to
everyone what you did on Thursday night? You don't remember?
Speaker 2 (09:04):
I do remember?
Speaker 3 (09:05):
For crying out loud, go on.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
You know I've been working now with Frankie coming. Well,
it's two and a half years now that I've been
on this version of his show. Frankie Marino's show, and
we recapped an amazing twenty eighteen you know, nine symphony
orchestra performances. It's been unbelievable, including Carnegie Hall. We debuted
(09:29):
several records releases. Christmas Record made it into the top
ten in its first week release.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Yeah dad.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
He just released his new country single two days ago.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Yah, which is very good. Thursday Night, Why is the
Whiskey Always Gone? It's going to be.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Huge, and you know, I'm glad to be a part
of an amazing group of ten people. I mean, it
really is one of the finest groups of players that
I've ever worked with. We did our regular show performance
in Las Vegas and it was being filmed for a
PBA special.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
That fun Do you stay tuned for when it's going
to air? Oh you're not sure? Yeah? So you had
an exciting week and busy week. Of course, busy week
for me too. I think lots of people are busy
at this time of year. As I say, lots of
us do New Year's resolutions or really just goals. Goals
are good to have, you know, or work towards them. Anyway.
We have a funny story for we were just at
(10:26):
a wedding in San Diego for one of the band members. Actually,
and we have a funny story. Well, it wasn't funny
at the time. It was a bit distressing. So we
went to get a coffee at this great place called
Better Buzz Coffee in San Diego and well, I'm waiting
for Gym to get the coffee. Two girls sat next
to me and I hear what sounds like a yelp
(10:48):
or dog barking.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Behind a big free walk in freezer door.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Yeah, and it was behind a walking freezer door. And
the two girls next to me went, did you hear that?
And I said yeah. I said it came out of there,
didn't it. This said yeah, it was behind that door.
And I go, oh my gosh. Now like in older buildings,
I said, is that a real freezer or if they
just used the door as a decorative door, it's not
a freezer, because no, that's that freezer.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
What.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
So I hear this again, I thought, oh my gosh,
and I Jim, go get the people that work here.
There's something not right. But you heard it, didn't you, Jim?
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Yes, I did. And I was skeptical.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
You were not skeptical at all.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
And you were a nut bag.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
No, it wasn't a nut bag. We got the ladies.
She went where where where? And he points and she goes,
that's a freezer, and uh, we said, he's coming right
from behind it. Anyway. A guy next to us, Oh,
she said, because it's a room, isn't it that freezes
a room?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Walk in the.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Second door on the other side that we walk in,
and the guy says, the seals broken on the other door.
So every time they access it, it's like a wash.
Like I'm just happy. What'sn't a dog in a freezer?
Because in my mind I'm thinking, did someone go home
(12:07):
from work last night didn't know a dog got in
the freezer and he's been there all night. We've always
got a good dog story, haven't with you? Anyway? Good news?
It was not a dog. It was just a squeakido.
Oh my goodness. The story is the stories. Well, let's
get into a little bit of news. A little bit
of news in the animal world. Russia gym passes an
(12:30):
extensive animal cruelty BAM, but still plans to label specific
dog breeze is dangerous. So it's a bit that's a
bit a whoa what was that.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Little miss has been licking her front paw and now
she probably had a hair.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Oh, this is what happened in Russia. It took eight
years to pass, but a single a bill signed into
law recently now bounds all forms of animal cruelty in Russia.
Yes to that. The Russian news agency t A S
tasks and the new law is based on responsible, ethical
(13:04):
and human treatment of animals. Yeah, I'm loving this anyway.
The comprehensive legislation, reportedly signed by Russian resident Vladimir Putin
and uploaded to the official online data base off Russian
legislative information, includes banning petting zoos. Oh, I'm all for that,
animal fighting yep, keeping exotic animals as pets, and housing
animals in bars and restaurants, now that's something that you
(13:26):
don't see much here, but in other countries you do
see a lot of that. Anyway. The law also bans
the killing of stray dogs and cats, which will now
be placed in shelters instead. I mean, this is it
was worth it for the eight years fight to get
this past. And it further stipulates that the capturing of
straight animals must be recorded on cameras and information about
(13:47):
them must be made public. Oh I love this anyway.
Strict rules of pet ownership have also been established under
the new legislation. Walking dogs in designated areas and finding
owners for failing to pick up after them are among
the new stipulations that would be regy related by public
inspectors who are tasked with recording violations are sending them
to the government oversight authorities. Do you know how much?
Do you know how much I'm loving this news? Gym?
(14:09):
This is like the best news.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Ever been good news lately?
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Yeah to it. The document also stipulates, as noted by Tasks,
that dogs are potentially dangerous breeds must be muscled and
on a leash while taken on a walk. The only
exception is when a dog is on its owner's private property,
which must be well law which be marked with a
warning sign. The list of dangerous breeds is being compiled
by the Russian government. Sadly, this does not reflect the
(14:33):
owner's responsibility to properly raise an animal that is not dangerous.
Some of the most docile and sweet dogs that uh
this is you know, some of the dogs are sweetest
dogs that are unfairly labeled as dangerous, including people's and
I think we've all experienced that. And they wrote at
the end of this article, it's not the dog, it's
the human. But I'd like to add this gem it's
(14:55):
also the science. There's been nothing to prove that any
dog is born in.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Her vicious and danger note.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
You know, so you've got your signs to get your
research and the level of education, and I think this
is just where they're falling short. But I don't think
we should criticize them for that because they've just put
these incredible laws into place that are phenomenal. I mean,
they're so impressive. And I've always said before, let's get
progressed before we start complaining that it's not perfect, and
(15:26):
it will take time, but it's an education thing. People
are at different points of understanding when it comes to
animal welfare and the knowledge that they have on dogs. So,
for example, I don't know if you saw this gym,
the video of the calf in a veal crate looking
the snowflake terrible, but some saw that as as cute,
while other people saw it as cruel. Now I saw
(15:48):
it as cruel, and many did, but on very different levels.
Some didn't see the create at all. In the picture,
all the conditions, all the confinement and isolation. Others saw
a calf that would go to slaughter with in six
months of its life, haven't been taken away from its mother,
deprived of its mother and of course natural nourishment, and
then others sort of the loneliness, the separation, isolation, and
(16:09):
again that's another level of cruelty when an animal is
not allowed the freedom to be, maybe care and have space,
you know. So this is I think a prime example
of different levels of education, knowledge and experience that people have.
And of course there are people who absolutely couldn't care
less about animals and we'll say, oh that col's having
a great time, what it's going to got a slaughter
(16:31):
and it's by itself, you know what I mean, and confined.
So when you see these videos, I think it's really important.
I think we'll start a campaign. When you see these videos,
take a really good look at the image or the
video and the situation, the environment, the animals reactions and
ask yourself is it cute or is it cruel? And
(16:52):
I think that's a prime example of this of where
people are when it comes to education in some countries
are not where they need to be. This is a
massive step. This is a massive that they recognize that
you need to not find animals, you need to not
have pictures of animals, you need to not go pet
animals because it's extremely stressful for them. And I think
(17:14):
they'll catch up. They'll catch up. But let me tell
you something. Their laws, some of those laws are better
than what we've got here. Absolutely they are now the
whole We've still got a fair bit of that going
on in Russia, not Russia, Ireland. We still have it
in England with the breeds. Let me tell you about this,
and of course that is coming up for discussion I
(17:36):
think in Parliament, which is really good. And we do
have an animal welfare what's the word, what's the word mission? No,
it's a man animal welfare minister, minister, I think it is.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Yeah, we have a lot of ministers, yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
I think, and I think strange country and it's.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Minister Minister of silly walks. Yeah there, remember minister. Yes,
I do famous wreck his hips over.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
There and so we did. We're talking about Monty Python,
we're talking about John Plice anyway. So the way it's
in England is they still love this this list of
animals that they say are vicious and dangerous and if
you've got one of those breeds, you have to take
them down for an assessment. People, and then they decide
(18:25):
whether your dog needs to be muscled in public. And
that's a point. It's going to be up for discussion,
which is good, and Ireland needs to do the same,
and I no doubt Russia will get there as well.
But it's great news. Isn't that great news? I mean,
that's like a big sweeping this is what's happening. I
love the fact they've got people out the tickets in
(18:46):
people who don't pick up their poop. It's not right,
pick up your poop, pick up your poop. In other news,
and again great news, this is a victory coming out
of Iowa, where my friend Pamily is in town corn Down.
Iowa AGGAG law ruled unconstitutional and undercover investigations that factory
(19:08):
farms are protected by the First Amendment. So our fantastic
friends over at the Animal Legal Defense Fund have led
this coalition. But the US District Court for the Southern
District of Iowa struck down the Iowa AGGAG law, holding
that the ban on undercover investigations at factory firm, farms,
(19:29):
and slaughter houses violates the First Amendment. So in twenty seventeen,
I Say Our Fantastic Friends over Animal Legal Defense Fund
led a coalition of animal, environmental and community advocacy groups
in challenging the laws constitutionality. Federal courts similarly struck down
AGGAG laws in Iowa, in Idaho and Utah as unconstitutional,
(19:52):
and Iowa's AGGGAG law criminalizes undercover investigations at a broad
range of animal facilities, including factory farms, fee mills, and
slaughter houses. This is to try and prevent advocates from
exposing animal cruelty and environmental workers' rights, as well as
food safety violations. The law achieved its goal of suppressing
(20:12):
undercover investigations. No investigator have taken place since the law
passed in twenty twelve. So get ready and this stuff,
it has to be exposed. It impacts animals, it impacts
people as well. Anyway, GAG laws are a pernicious attempt
by animal exploitation industries to hide some of the worst
(20:34):
forms of animal abuse in the United States, said executive
director Stephen Wells. I've interviewed Stephen before one of my
all time favorite.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Interviews, super intelligent.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Oh my god, what a brilliant organization. And he said,
today's victory makes it clear that the government cannot protect
these industries at the expense of our constitutional rights. And
it said, for more than a century, the public has
relied on undercover investigations to expose illegal and cruel practices
on factory file and slaughter houses, and no federal laws
govern the condition in which farmed animals are raised, and
(21:05):
laws addressing slaughter and transport are laxly enforced. Under Cover
investigations are the primary avenue through which the public receives
information about animal agricultural operations, and Iowa is the biggest
producer of pigs raised for meat and hens raised for
eggs in the United States, making it critically important that
the investigations are not suppressed. The Animal Legal Defense is
(21:29):
the nation's pre eminent legal advocacy organization for animals and
led coalitions to strike down AGAG laws in Idaho and Utah.
Litigation against the North Carolina AGAG law is ongoing, and
I don't doubt for one minute they're not going to
have success there as well. So, yeah, it's it's really
really great news, really really happy about that, and I
(21:53):
sent it over to Pam this morning and I said, hey,
good news coming out of Iowa for you. But she
has a hard time. She sees all those those pigs
into slaughter, you know, on the trucks, and it just
it kills her.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
You know what's interesting, Pam is kind of like, you know,
we live in Las Vegas where people call it Sin City. Well,
you know, it's like almost three million people that live here.
It's a big family town too. But you know, they
always made jokes, you know, oh, what's a priest doing
in the middle of Sin City. Well, Pam, being the
(22:24):
animal advocate she is in the middle of Iowa is
like a priest being in the middle of Las Vegas.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Yes, it is, Honestly, I don't know as she hopes sometimes.
She moved there earlier last year, and I just don't
know how she copes because they've got some of the
worst animal laws, one of the worst states, I think,
and of course, you know you've got this aggag thing.
Thankfully it's going to change, but you know, she's she's
having to witness people chaining up the dogs outside and
(22:49):
people aren't on board with you know, good nutrition and
alone raw feeding. There's still vaccinating like it's going at
a fashion. And it's not that she's got work cut
out for her. I mean there's always good that comes
out of having a PAM in a place like Iowa,
you know. So that's good news. And I'm really really
(23:10):
thrilled about that. And there's one more piece of news
before we take a break, and again I think this
is a great it's great news. It's coming out of
Scotland and the designer dogs and cat breeding is going
to be outlawed in Scotland this year under new regulations.
And when they put these regulations together, it is with
a heck of a lot of research and recommendations. It's
(23:31):
not oh, someone just comes forward and says, oh, I
think we should just ban this. I mean there are
there are reasons and research and information available on this.
But the breeding of designer pets could be effectively outlawed
by this year. And the Scottish government plans to tighten
the licensing of dog, cat and rabbit breeding to stop
people breeding these animals in poor conditions and then selling
(23:52):
them on. And a consultation was launched between September and
November to help stakeholders shape new regulations, and this week
in Parliament, the Minister of Rural Affairs, Mari Gujion said
that the responses will be published at the end of
the month with the hope to introduce legislation. Part of
the new approach would involve harmful breeding practices by discouraging
(24:15):
the breeding of pets with a predisposition for genetic conditions
which can lead to health problems in later life. As
a condition of licensing, breeding practices likely to cause the
offspring suffering in later life will be prohibited. And as
I start listening to some of these things, you're going
to go, yep, yeap, seen that that's awful. Yeah, And
this is how it happens. So in recent years there's
(24:37):
been a growth in demand and I think we can
all attest to this for pets with a particular physical
feature such as as short nose and big prodruding eyes
and you know, long extra longears. And it's certainly incentivized
breeders for extreme characteristics in some breeds, but it does
heighten the risk of these these terrible genetic conditions that
(24:58):
can seriously affect their health in the future and the
well being of the animal. And it can also place
unexpected financial strain on the owner, as many of those
pets will need ongoing and costly veterinary care and surgeries.
I mean, I'm hearing about people whose bulldogs the folds
are so bad that are over their eyes, they can't see,
(25:18):
and they're having tough surgeries. It's just ridiculous, it's horrible. Anyway.
Of course, there's always concerned over these Scottish puppy farms
as well, which you know in England they've banned the
third party sales, which is a great thing anyway. The
Scottish fold cat, which has a genetic defect preventing it
(25:40):
from forming cartilage and the absence of which causes long
term arthritis. Your munchkin cat, disproportionate short legs.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Your much cat.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Yeah, if I was a cat, I think I would
be a munchkin care the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, which
can be bread to have an unnash truly small skull
that compresses the brain and it affects his spinal cord.
And then like I said, English bulldogs, French bulldogs and pugs,
and of course they have those breathing problems caused by
narrow constructed airways, pinched nostrils, you know, squat necks and
(26:17):
you know, and if they want to ounce overweight, it's
going to be an even bigger problem. And of course,
you know, I think a lot of this is driven
by celebrities who buy these breeds and all their fans
want them, and then the demand is there and here
we go. It's seriously, it's like fashion. It's like, what's
the lacest shoe that just came out? Because you know,
(26:38):
my favorite celebrities were And it really is, when it
comes down to it come down to THATX, it's all
about looks. It's never about health anyway. I spoke to
one for the Animal welfare charity and Dogs Trust, big
organizations said. One particularly welcome inclusion and the new regulations
is how to protect offspring from inherited defects, including disease
and other health problems. This includes rachiocephalic issues, the result
(27:02):
of a shortened skull, and how it impacts the breeds.
I mean, there has been a big demand I will
say for pugs, French bulldogs and English bulldogs. I have
to tell you, but we're seeing these these characteristics and
they're not good. I mean even affects their ability to
breathe and even play, and how fun they can't breathe.
Scottish spcia's chief Superintendent Might Flynn. He said that the
(27:25):
SPCIA believes that all animals should be bad to enjoy
a normal life and be able to freely express normal behaviors,
which includes being free from pain. See he's right on
the level of the five freedoms of Animal welfare right there.
They totally get it. And so while he gave evidence
that the Public Petitions Committee, you know, they they had
(27:46):
a special investigation unit and they said, you know, there's
an unquestionable, unquestionable appetite amongst the public for some of
these breeds, and you know they're defined as either new
breeds or designer breeds, but really just messing up these dogs,
you know. And there are some other other features as well.
They're going to lower the threshold for licensed requirements. So
(28:08):
existing breed legislation allows five or more litters a year
before a license is required, meaning up to forty puppies
could be produced without any legal obligation or licensing and
inspections before before that. So the government proposes to lower
the threshold so that a license requirement will apply to
either anyone in the business of breeding and selling dogs, cats,
(28:28):
or rabbits in a twelve one period anyone producing three
or more litters from their dogs, cats, or rabbits in
the twelve one period. So you know, they're lowering that,
which is a really good thing. Now it means they
can regulate it, brilliant. Other details are you know, when
(28:49):
is it going to you know, be updated. But this
is the overall image to enhance protection of animals whose
welfare is at risk while creating the system that does
not add add to the burden of animal welfare organizations.
This is a very big picture. Look at this, isn't it, Jim.
It's not one little, you know section of it. And
(29:10):
you know, and to the readers who are already working
to a very very high standard. And the welfare of
domestic animals, especially pubs, can be endangered as as a
result of the conditions they experienced from birth and how
they cared for in the early formative weeks of their lives.
Specific issues previously identified by the RSPCA, which by the way,
if you don't know what that stands for, is the
Royal Society Prevention of cruelty to animals. It first started
(29:33):
in my hometown of Sheffield. Yeah. In fact, would you
get me the date on that, Jim, it's the Sheffield
ris PCA when it was founded. And actually I'm going
to go a little bit off the topic. They were
it was founded also to help working horses in Sheffield
because there were never any troughs with any water available.
(29:54):
And to this day now those they had troughs installed
that they were made out of stone, they still exist
and that's kind of how it was dogic. They were
working horses anyway.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
And Sheffield was instrumental in memorializing all war horses.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
Oh that's right, Yeah, forgot bat that then we talked
about that on a previous show. So they say, you know,
puppies being separated from their mothers too early result in
poor physical and mental health.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Eighteen seventy three.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Eighteen seventy three, you know, that was that was a
good year.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
That was That was eleven years before my hometown was
laid out by its original surveyors.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Really we've been going quite some time by that time, Jim.
But they also talk about not being socialized at the
right age lean to chronicle behavioral problems dogs being kept
in unsanitary and unsafe conditions and of course that results
in the spread of disease as well. So the bill
also aims to ensure a more responsible and informed approach
to acquiring and having a puppy or a dog. Responsible
(30:56):
dog owners need to consider whether they'd be able to
look after the puppies by providing delhi needs in terms
of food, water, drink, shelter and exercise. And there's no
time scale at the moment, but the Minister of Rural
Affairs said he wants to introduce the legislation soon after
the stakeholder consultation on the proposal when it comes to
an end. So the online consultation document, I'll put a
(31:16):
link to that because it's very interesting. But lots of
great news, lots of great news in the animal world,
and I'm very happy to be able to deliver that
to you.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Actually, my hometown was actually laid out two years after
the Sheffield RSP and that interesting, very interesting.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
We love a little bit of history, don't we. Jim.

I swear I feel like I can hear that crazy whistling,
but I feel like I'm on the water a little bit.
Yeah yeah, yeah, that's making me insane. Have you heard
about you? You have audio weapons.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Yeah, there's no audio weapons.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
That's what it feels like right now.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
There's no conspiracies in Henderson.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
My ears getting assaulted.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
I would say Henderson has no conspiracy weapons of audio destruction. Today,
I'm pretty sure no one can be bothered. It's Saturday
and the federal government is shut down.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
All right, So no, no one's doing any doing any
any audio what no.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Audio warfare during the government shutdow?
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Oh my gosh, just gym's doing it on me today. Okay,
So let's talk about New Year's resolutions to improve your
pets health. These are very very simple things that you
can do to improve your pets health. And you may
have been thinking about them and you're like, I haven't
really got round to them yet. How do I do it?
Where do I get stuff from? Where do I buy
stuff from? If I need to buy stuff from. While
(33:58):
I'm making it easy for you, really really easy, here
we go. And I do love it when the new
year rolls around. I like to reflect on the past
year and think about my focus for the new year.
And since my big review show of eighteen AD, I've
had quite a few people ask me for just easy,
doable changes. They can make to improve their pets health
(34:20):
and over a well being and environment in twenty nineteen.
And I think the key to any changes is that
they're simple. I applying them one at a time, and
eventually you'll stack them as you solidify each change. With
that said, let's get into some simple, easy to apply
changes that make a positive impact on your pets health
and wellness. Number One, fresh food. So each week, fresh
(34:43):
fruits and vegetables are on our shopping list for our
family and that includes our dogs. So fresh food is
a key component to good nutrition for people and pets.
And research shows that dogs who ate any green, leafy
vegetables like broccoli reduce the risk of of olipping bladdercounts
a by ninety nine zero. Likewise, dogs that consumed any
(35:06):
orange yellow vegetables such as carrots reduce their risk by
seventy percent. So with stats like that, who wouldn't want
to give that to their pet? And it's easy to
incorporate those fresh foods into your pet's daily diet if
you're not already feeding a fresh food species appropriate diet.
And it's a great inexpensive and I think that's key
as well path improving nutrition and here's how you can
(35:29):
do it. So you can take some spinach, broccoli, kale,
carrots and gently steam it. Steam it so you can
break down the cellulose walls. And if you literally feed
one tablespoon a day in the meal, that's it. Those
small changes would be would bring some mighty benefits. So
think about that. It's a super simple thing. You're probably
(35:52):
already buying those vegetables anyway, and steaming them helps break
it down. Or if you've got you know, food processor,
you can you know, mush it down into a bit
of a like a almost like a what do you
call it, like a like a smoothie and put a
tea tablespoon of that on your pet's food and you'll
instantly make an impact. So for those people who would
(36:14):
love to say, you know, I'd love to cook for
my pets, I'd love to go raw, but oh my gosh,
it's such a big thing, this is a great start,
so easy, so simple, doable. You don't have to make
any extra effort, you know, And if you are cooking
your vegs for your family, you know, cook for your
pets too. Just don't add any seasonings. Keep it really simple,
(36:35):
keep it really really chopped up nice and fine, and
your dogs will really really enjoy it without without a doubt.
So let's move on to coconut oil. And it's a
good fat, and it's a good fat to add to
your pet's diet, and it provides many benefits. Here are
some of those benefits. It improves metabolism, improves skin and coat, digestion,
(36:56):
brain function. That's a very good one. It's anti bacteria,
anti fungal, anti viral. You can use it to clean ears,
you can condition poor pattern noses, and you can clean
your dog's teeth with it as well. So the first
thing you're probably going to ask is, oh, gosh, there
are so many coconut oils on the market, it's flooded.
(37:17):
I have no idea what I'm supposed to look for.
We'll keep it very very simple, and what you do
need to look for is organic virgin or organic extra
virgin coconut oil. That's what you're looking for. Not being
paid by Costco, but we get outs from Costco. It's
great price, great value, and so that's well one place
(37:39):
that you can pick that up from. And I'm going
to link some stuff out for you as well. On
the bottom of the show notes, so no need to
grab a pen or anything. I'll have them all for
you on the show notes once it goes up as
a podcast, and you're can ask the next question, how
much do I give to my dog as a supplement.
I don't know how much oil I have to give. Well,
(37:59):
if you use it as a daily sufferment, you'll work
up to about one teaspoon per ten pounds of body
weight per day. So for a twenty pound dog, you're
looking at two teaspoons. Split them up within the meals,
and there's with any new addition to your pet supplementation,
start with probably a quarter of that amount to avoid
any kind of loose stools, any kind of poopocalypse, digestive indiscretions, yes,
(38:25):
and then gradually increase that daily dosage until you get
to the recommended teaspoon per ten pounds. And I like
to add the coconut oil to my dog's meals and
I just split it into for the day, and they're
good to God, and they really like it. They really
like it. Some dogs will eat it straight off the spoon.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (38:41):
And as I mentioned earlier, you can also take your
cocon oil and make toothpaste yeah, and it's a very
easy recipe. It's two tablespoons of baking soda, two tablespoons
of cocone oil, and a drop of peppermint oil, which
is just optional. Yeah, make sure it's a good pepper
oil that's organic. And then you can either use this
(39:03):
is what I think it works very well, is gauze
on your finger. Or now you can buy the microfiber
finger toothbrushes because then you can really feel the teeth.
It's doesn't feel like some big, crazy foreign object coming
into your dog's mouth like what. It's soft, but you
can actually really get on those.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
Check.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
Yeah, you found them on Amazon this week and again
I'm going to link to those. And all you do
is mix all the ingredients together and then decanter them
into a small jar. Place the microfiber finger toothbrush on
your finger, dip it into the toothpaste and rub it
onto your pet's teeth and of course make oial care
a lot of fun for your pets. Works slowly and
(39:42):
work your way into a full cleaning. Don't expect to
do it all at once, because you know you want
to not freak your dog out when you do it.
And if you don't get all the teeth clean, no problem.
You can do a little bit each day and it
won't overwhelm your pets. And trust me, they'll like the
taste of that coconut oil. And it's again it's saves
your money because you're making your own you know exactly
(40:04):
what's going in it. And I do recommend those microfiber
finger toothbrushes. Thinks a brilliant idea. Here's another one. Can
you can you make the noise of a goat? It's
a tired coat, it's tired goat. Goat's milk goat's milk.
Adding goat's milk into your pet's diet and proves gut health.
(40:28):
Depending on what you have available in the area, you
can choose to supplement with fresh raw goat's milk, or
you can pick up the powdered kind and it's easily
digestible in twenty minutes. This is why a lot of
pet parents like to feed it. And let me tell
you what's in goat's milk. Probiotics, vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, trace elements, enzymes, protein,
(40:52):
fatty acids, and of course, like I said, digest in
twenty minutes. So why would you feed this to your dog?
Why would you do that? Here's why you would do it.
And these are the health related issues that it actually
can help with if there's only been any kind of
heavy metal poisoning, malnutrition, GI disease, kidney disease, liver disease,
(41:14):
kidney stones, diabetes, poor digestion, diarrhea, and also if you've
got a dog that's not eating, they will really enjoy
goat's milk and you can pour that on top of
their food, or you can feed it separately. I feed
it separately as a little afternoon treat for my dogs,
and they love it. And it's great because isn't it
(41:35):
funny how your dogs in particular, will learn the very
specific words that you use. So now it's like, who
wants goat's milk? Or they come running in. They're so exciting.
That's a new word that they've learned, and they know
it's a good thing. As I say, if you can't
get raw goat's milk locally, you can actually buy powdered
(41:56):
goat's milk, And that's the one that I've been using
because we have a problem in Nevada with getting a
particular brand goats milk that we all really want because
of a labeling issue because our state requires something else.
Now can you imagine a company having to relabel everything
based on one state. It's crazy, But they sell it
(42:18):
in Utah And I do know a friend that's going
to go up there. And if you freeze it, you
can save it. And you freeze I think up to
two years, so you could stuck up on that stuff.
But great health benefits a great addition to your pet's health.
Like I said last week on the show, probiotics and
probiotics going to be a big topic this year, and
people are really going to get onto the whole gut
(42:38):
health because you know that's where good health starts. And
then I've got one more. Yeah, I've got one more
soap nuts. You may have never heard of soap nuts
in your life.
Speaker 2 (42:52):
We need more, I think we do.
Speaker 3 (42:54):
We're almost at the end, and I want to say
we've had that bag almost a year. I want to
say about that bag almost a year, and let me
tell you about soap nuts. Actually, will you pull up
the soap nuts information gim will I tell them about
the toxicity of detergents detergents, the stuff that you wash
(43:16):
your clothes in, this stuff you wash your dishes in,
all of that, they have a lot of chemicals in them,
all manner of chemicals, none of which are good for
you or your pets. And the fragrance alone can cause
skin issues. So why wash your clothes, your towels, your
bed sheets, your dog beds and something that is not healthy?
(43:38):
And what you can do is you can make a
switch from your detergent to soap nuts. And it says
safe and cost saving replacement. Like I said, we bought
out I think almost a year ago. And they look
like small, shriveled up dates, don't they, Jim. They're coming
in a bag. And then what you do is you
take four or five of these soap nuts out they're organic,
(44:00):
and then you put them in a small bag, drawstring
bag and toss that into your washing machine. And you've
got about four loads out of four or five of those,
and it's got it's got sappening in it, which is
like a natural it's almost like a natural soap agent,
but it is non toxic. And I'm telling you it works.
(44:21):
And I want to say, we paid something like twenty
two dollars for the bag. It's been almost a year.
I mean what we were paying before detergent, what we
were paying for normal detergent, And how many would you
say we would go through any I mean we.
Speaker 2 (44:35):
Had good detergent, we paid four dollars.
Speaker 3 (44:37):
We didn't have.
Speaker 2 (44:39):
It was a good brand detergent. It was cruelty free. No,
but it was cruelty free.
Speaker 3 (44:45):
It was cruelty free. And now here's the thing. I
think that's something you have to question. People buy lots
of things that are cruelty free. Yes, that's a big tick. Yes,
you want to do that. It wasn't tested on animals, yes,
but is it good for animals and people? No. That's
why we changed. And I think that's important for you
to know. So when you are looking at these products,
cruelty free, yes, get that on your list most definitely.
(45:07):
But then also you could go to the Environmental Working Group.
They have an app. It's brilliant and you can find
your product and you can see at what toxicity levels
each of these products are and it lists every single
ingredient and the dangers associated with them, and it cannot
be be informed in a very good way. But that's
why we got rid of it because when I started
(45:29):
reading up and I did a show on it, oh
my gosh goodness, it was just so like, no, I
can't do this to my pets. I can't do this
to us, because think about it. Your dogs lay on
the dog beds. You give your dog a bathla a shower,
you drive down in the towel, you your dogs sleep
with you. They're laying on the bed sheets, were laying
on the bed sheet and it was just it was
(45:51):
just a simple, inexpensive way to make that switch. And
what I have noticed when you I think the last
gig you were on, Jim and the hotel launded all
your clothes, and when you unpacked him, the smell of
fragrance made me feel sick on the clothes. When was that,
I want to say it was where I think it
(46:13):
was Omaha.
Speaker 2 (46:15):
Where you had your colles had to do laundry.
Speaker 3 (46:17):
So no, you hadn't laundered, but the smell was so overpowering.
I mean, just fragrance alone is not good. Do you
have the information on the.
Speaker 2 (46:28):
I'm looking it up right now. They're different brands.
Speaker 3 (46:30):
No, No, not the brands, just organic soap nuts. Just
the information on where they are. I think they're from,
like the the the Himalayan something or other had gone.
Let me find it soap nuts, And to give you
the information, you can get them powdered if you don't
want to do the actual nuts. Here's a tip though,
(46:52):
The selp nuts come with a draw string bag. If however,
you ever get small bags, got little zipper on the top.
That's the best way because sometimes they come open and
there's little it's going flying out. But let me tell
you about soap nuts. Here we go. It's called Sapindus,
and it's a genus of about five to twelve species
of shrubs and small trees in the Laichi family. And
(47:13):
they do look like it, don't they gym and sapin
to say no no. Sapindacea is native to warm, temperate
to tropical regions in both Old World and New World.
The genus includes both deciduous and evergreen species. And again
you want to go, well, they are organic because you know, hello,
(47:37):
they grow. But here's another little bit more information on them.
And it's like a it looks like a berry shell
that it naturally contains a cleaning agent that works like detergent,
and they grow in the Sapindus mucarosi trees in the Himalayas.
I was right, I was right. But the natural cleaning
agent found in these berries, it's called sapenin, and it
(47:58):
works as a surfactant and it breaks usace tension of
the water to penetrate the fibers of your clothing, lifting
stains from the fabric and leaving dirt suspend in the
water that runs away. And regular salt board detergents contain
chemical suffactors too. This is just a natural source. Despite
the soap in its name, soap does not contain soap
that causes soap scum and build up like a regular
(48:18):
barrow soap does. And it's very very gentle on your
clothes and your skin, and it makes them make them
ideal for those people with skin issues like exma, allergies,
psoriasis because they're so mild and they are perfect for
baby clothes and even cloth diapers. And I learned about
these from our friend La Lane when she had her babies.
She did a whole, big, big switch. And they're harvested
(48:41):
the wild harvested, meaning they are gathered from wild trees
grown without any kind of chemicals or fertilizers or pesticides,
and sappenin actually tastes bad to insects and no pesticiz
and needed. And the trees naturally love poor uncultivated soil.
They are organically grown by Mother Earth and certified USDA
Organic and I highly reckon commend them. They are also
(49:01):
not allergy safe, which is a little bonus there, and
I say I highly recommend them absolutely. So great change
you can make for you and your pets so that
you're not putting anything toxic on their skin or their
pores as you dry them from the shower or they
lay on their beds. So those are the changes that
you can make this year as your New Year's Pet
(49:23):
resolutions so that you could improve your pet's health, well
being and environment. So just a quick recap fresh food, spinach, broccoli, kale, carrot,
steam it down tablespoon a day or tablespoon on each meal. Perfect,
you're instantly improving their diet. Coconut all great fat improves them.
A tabolin skin coat, digestion brain function. Puts it into
(49:46):
your own toothpaste recipe and you know you're saving money
on pet toothpaste. And this way, you know exactly what's
you know, what you're using. You can supplement the diet
with your coconut or so easy, you know, one teaspoon
for every ten pounds weight of your dog and gradually
work your weigh up to that, and then your goat's milk.
(50:12):
It's great benefits containing you know, for health and got health,
and you know it's probiotic bits of mimneral ectrolytes, I
mean protein easily digested and I say great for pets
that aren't eating well. And you can get it in
the raw goat's milk form or powdered and then finally
(50:33):
you're organic so nuts. So there are some very easy
doable You can buy all of these things anything that
you would need on Amazon. I'm going to link them
all in the show notes and that way you don't
have to try and type stuff down and try and
remember that it's all going to be there for you.
Speaker 2 (50:53):
Now.
Speaker 3 (50:53):
Another way that you can get these show notes that
I'm talking about is to subscribe to the radio show.
And if you would like to do that, you can
hop on over to our website, or you can hop
on over to my Instagram account and click the link
in my bio and you'll see why you can subscribe
(51:15):
and what we're doing on that subscription that it's very
very simple. Even if you listen to the live show,
or if you miss the live show, the live show
will go out to the people who subscribed as a podcast,
and within that link, you'll be able to find all
of the show notes to make your life super easy.
And that way you'll never miss a show. So that's
(51:35):
pretty easy for you to do as well. Well, Jim,
I think it's been a good show. A timing has
been perfect today, wouldn't you say?
Speaker 2 (51:43):
Very good? You even have a few more minutes if
you want to keep onmbling on another topic, I would
give you seven more minutes if you'd.
Speaker 3 (51:52):
Like, Kevin more minutes.
Speaker 2 (51:54):
Although you got something under your feet by the way,
so watch out.
Speaker 3 (51:58):
It's easy to a very little it's very little dog
and the do you know what I just ordered this morning?
You know what I'm into that, I'm totally into finding
lots and lots of personalized products to recommend to our audience.
And you will if you particularly be following me on Instagram.
Very active over there, and I found some great programs.
(52:20):
One of my favorites is cuddle clones, And no, it's
not a real clone of your pet. But let me
tell you something. These are made Oh my gosh, so well.
The quality is unreal and how much they look like
your pet is uncanny. And they do work with incredible
artists that take photos of your pets. Once you choose
(52:41):
the product you want, whether it's a cuddly toy, whether
it's bedroom slippers, whether it's a bag, and they clone
your pets. It's so impressive. And then the artists go
to work on the markings and any interesting you know,
characteristics that they have and when you actually you customize it,
once you upload your pictures, what you'll do is you'll
(53:04):
you know, say, I want, you know, my pet to
have an open mouth, a clothes mouth, you know, standing
or seated, so you get to really really personalize it.
And honest to goodness, they're so impressive. There's a couple
of them. You look at the photo, you go, oh,
one's a real dog. Because of that good that's called
cuddle clones. So I've been looking at lots and lots
of companies that do personalized products. I think that people
(53:28):
really like their special touch. Well, this morning I ordered
a mug and if anyone knows me from my Instagram account,
every morning I post a little boomerang of my coffee
that I have in the morning. Go is say good morning,
have a lovely day. And it's a different cup, teacup, mug,
(53:50):
you name it. I've got quite the collection. I would say.
It's a healthy hobby that I have. And so I
found another company. Do you just roll dry balls in
the back of your head? So I've just ordered this
mug that's going to have my three dogs on it
with their names. So when that arrives, because I like
(54:13):
to check out, make sure the quality is great, and
if I love it, I'm going to recommend it to you.
And it's a it's a very sweet design. It's very
very sweet and it's the back of my dogs. I
really like that idea. But their names will be honest.
So when that comes in, I will let you know
about that. Well, Jim, It's been a good show, lots
(54:35):
of great news. I do like the good news coming
out of the animal world because there's lots of horrible
news and so it's good to hear all the good news.
Speaker 2 (54:44):
It's our second show of nineteen.
Speaker 3 (54:46):

I'm getting a bit of a feedback thing. Do you
reckon that is?
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I don't know because I don't hear it in my
headphones better headphones than you do, so what I hear
is more important.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
It's a funny little ring. Let's see if it persistent
or no. This is how you can tell it's a
live show.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Thanks for that.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
A podcast, they would have just edited this bit entirely
hate but we're real, aren't with you? We are real
and authentic anyway, So you can you can find the show.
If you missed the live show, you can find the
show on all of those platforms, in any other podcast
app that you may have on your phone. Of course,
you listen on your computer as well. Today's show is
(04:19):
a dedicated show to Rosie and as many of you know,
on occasion I mentioned our friends Sarah back home in
the UK, and to me, she is just a model
pet pair and giving her dog's Rosie and Pip a
life that any dog would want. They go for long
country walks, that fly ball sessions, act with therapy classes,
(04:40):
good food and lots of friends to socialize with. And
Rosie had been struggling with a partial tracheal collapse that
also brought along some other health complications with it. Sarah
has done everything and everything possible for Rosie until it
got to a point, which was truly suffering and it
was unbearable for her, and of course it would be
for or her mom. And it's a decision that bears
(05:02):
the weight of the world and no one wants to
make it. But Sarah did have to make that decision
to let Rosie be in peace, and along with the
great friend Andrea, they helped to go over the rainbow bridge. Now,
as you can imagine, I was devastated to get Sarah's message,
and Rosie had a family beyond her immediate family who
loved it dearly, from the pet sitter to a flyball friends,
and they're going to miss her terribly. Rosie brought those
(05:25):
friends into Sarah's life also, which dougs have a special
way of doing that, don't they, Jim. They expand, expand
your circle of friends. So I'd like to celebrate Rosie
and her mom because they did so much for each
other and most of all, they brought loving to each
other's lives. And so this show today is dedicated to
Miss Rosie. My tip of the week kind of I'm
(05:50):
getting a weird feedback, Jim, sorry about this, everyone, Okay, well.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
It's not happening here, so continue.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
It's the kind of thing that made me like nuts
any way, So my tip of the week kind of
like goes into that. You know, how do you memorialize?
You know, memorialize? Is that even a word? Yeah? I
think it might be. But I saw a great idea
on social media using a dog's collar. It was a
memorial to a pet that had passed, and I just
thought it was really lovely. And the person who had
lost their dog had found a really pretty planter and
(06:22):
they'd placed the collar around the planter and then they
added some succulents to it and they should call it
a treasure plant. I just thought it was a very
very sweet idea. And it's just a way of saying
that they do live on and you know, a way
of you know, keeping a little bit of them around.
And we talked about that with a friend the other day,
you know about you know, people saying I can't bring
(06:45):
myself to get rid of their stuff, but do you
really have to? We haven't. We've kept all Galaxy stuff, haven't.
Weys just around the house as if she was here,
which we feel she is here. So I just thought
it was a really really sweet thing to do, really sweet.
So this show today. This is for you. We've got
that's just an updates. We've got some news updates. Oh gosh, well,
(07:06):
I mean it's the new year, Jim. Did you put
any New Year's resolutions together?
Speaker 2 (07:12):
No, I don't do resolutions. I live a good life.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
You do live a good life. But I like, I
like to do resolutions. I really really to be honest
that they're goals. When you think about it, they're goals,
and a lot of those goals always include my pets anyway.
But it inspired me to write a blog post around
goals for pet parents, and we're going to talk about
them later on in the show. So we're going to
do a little Oh I do have a resolution, go on,
(07:37):
go on?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Oh, I'm going to buy a new bicycle.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Sure is.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I'm resolute in that I will be buying a bicycle.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
To add to your other pace and it will.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Not be cheap. So I have to get a good
plan together.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Well, you have to be really good, right, I'm getting
a ring off something, I'm getting a whistle feedback. Yeah, well, no,
it's going.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
To be today because I've done all the adjustments.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
That I can that there's something it's like, you know,
sweats you know what it sounds like. It sounds like
you know, I've got a glass of water next to
me because I certainly did not hydrate enough this morning microphone,
and I will do. But if you know, when you
you know.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
When you rub, you might just have a whistle in
your nose today.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
No I don't, it's in my right ear. I can
hear you know when you get a glass, a wine
glass and you rub your finger on the top and
go that. That's what I'm hearing.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
So that's great.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
I digress, all right, thanks. Sometimes sometimes you get off track.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
And moving on and moving on with your show.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Let me change my angle a little bit on this.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
This change your angle, change your approach.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Shouldn't we all? It's a new year, Jim, So where
was going? So I've written this blog post for is
and it's for pet parents to talk about that. Just
about that shortly, Jim's had an exciting We want to
everyone what you did on Thursday night? You don't remember?
Speaker 2 (09:04):
I do remember?
Speaker 3 (09:05):
For crying out loud, go on.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
You know I've been working now with Frankie coming. Well,
it's two and a half years now that I've been
on this version of his show. Frankie Marino's show, and
we recapped an amazing twenty eighteen you know, nine symphony
orchestra performances. It's been unbelievable, including Carnegie Hall. We debuted
(09:29):
several records releases. Christmas Record made it into the top
ten in its first week release.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Yeah dad.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
He just released his new country single two days ago.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Yah, which is very good. Thursday Night, Why is the
Whiskey Always Gone? It's going to be.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Huge, and you know, I'm glad to be a part
of an amazing group of ten people. I mean, it
really is one of the finest groups of players that
I've ever worked with. We did our regular show performance
in Las Vegas and it was being filmed for a
PBA special.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
That fun Do you stay tuned for when it's going
to air? Oh you're not sure? Yeah? So you had
an exciting week and busy week. Of course, busy week
for me too. I think lots of people are busy
at this time of year. As I say, lots of
us do New Year's resolutions or really just goals. Goals
are good to have, you know, or work towards them. Anyway.
We have a funny story for we were just at
(10:26):
a wedding in San Diego for one of the band members. Actually,
and we have a funny story. Well, it wasn't funny
at the time. It was a bit distressing. So we
went to get a coffee at this great place called
Better Buzz Coffee in San Diego and well, I'm waiting
for Gym to get the coffee. Two girls sat next
to me and I hear what sounds like a yelp
(10:48):
or dog barking.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Behind a big free walk in freezer door.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Yeah, and it was behind a walking freezer door. And
the two girls next to me went, did you hear that?
And I said yeah. I said it came out of there,
didn't it. This said yeah, it was behind that door.
And I go, oh my gosh. Now like in older buildings,
I said, is that a real freezer or if they
just used the door as a decorative door, it's not
a freezer, because no, that's that freezer.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
What.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
So I hear this again, I thought, oh my gosh,
and I Jim, go get the people that work here.
There's something not right. But you heard it, didn't you, Jim?
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Yes, I did. And I was skeptical.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
You were not skeptical at all.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
And you were a nut bag.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
No, it wasn't a nut bag. We got the ladies.
She went where where where? And he points and she goes,
that's a freezer, and uh, we said, he's coming right
from behind it. Anyway. A guy next to us, Oh,
she said, because it's a room, isn't it that freezes
a room?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Walk in the.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Second door on the other side that we walk in,
and the guy says, the seals broken on the other door.
So every time they access it, it's like a wash.
Like I'm just happy. What'sn't a dog in a freezer?
Because in my mind I'm thinking, did someone go home
(12:07):
from work last night didn't know a dog got in
the freezer and he's been there all night. We've always
got a good dog story, haven't with you? Anyway? Good news?
It was not a dog. It was just a squeakido.
Oh my goodness. The story is the stories. Well, let's
get into a little bit of news. A little bit
of news in the animal world. Russia gym passes an
(12:30):
extensive animal cruelty BAM, but still plans to label specific
dog breeze is dangerous. So it's a bit that's a
bit a whoa what was that.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Little miss has been licking her front paw and now
she probably had a hair.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Oh, this is what happened in Russia. It took eight
years to pass, but a single a bill signed into
law recently now bounds all forms of animal cruelty in Russia.
Yes to that. The Russian news agency t A S
tasks and the new law is based on responsible, ethical
(13:04):
and human treatment of animals. Yeah, I'm loving this anyway.
The comprehensive legislation, reportedly signed by Russian resident Vladimir Putin
and uploaded to the official online data base off Russian
legislative information, includes banning petting zoos. Oh, I'm all for that,
animal fighting yep, keeping exotic animals as pets, and housing
animals in bars and restaurants, now that's something that you
(13:26):
don't see much here, but in other countries you do
see a lot of that. Anyway. The law also bans
the killing of stray dogs and cats, which will now
be placed in shelters instead. I mean, this is it
was worth it for the eight years fight to get
this past. And it further stipulates that the capturing of
straight animals must be recorded on cameras and information about
(13:47):
them must be made public. Oh I love this anyway.
Strict rules of pet ownership have also been established under
the new legislation. Walking dogs in designated areas and finding
owners for failing to pick up after them are among
the new stipulations that would be regy related by public
inspectors who are tasked with recording violations are sending them
to the government oversight authorities. Do you know how much?
Do you know how much I'm loving this news? Gym?
(14:09):
This is like the best news.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Ever been good news lately?
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Yeah to it. The document also stipulates, as noted by Tasks,
that dogs are potentially dangerous breeds must be muscled and
on a leash while taken on a walk. The only
exception is when a dog is on its owner's private property,
which must be well law which be marked with a
warning sign. The list of dangerous breeds is being compiled
by the Russian government. Sadly, this does not reflect the
(14:33):
owner's responsibility to properly raise an animal that is not dangerous.
Some of the most docile and sweet dogs that uh
this is you know, some of the dogs are sweetest
dogs that are unfairly labeled as dangerous, including people's and
I think we've all experienced that. And they wrote at
the end of this article, it's not the dog, it's
the human. But I'd like to add this gem it's
(14:55):
also the science. There's been nothing to prove that any
dog is born in.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Her vicious and danger note.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
You know, so you've got your signs to get your
research and the level of education, and I think this
is just where they're falling short. But I don't think
we should criticize them for that because they've just put
these incredible laws into place that are phenomenal. I mean,
they're so impressive. And I've always said before, let's get
progressed before we start complaining that it's not perfect, and
(15:26):
it will take time, but it's an education thing. People
are at different points of understanding when it comes to
animal welfare and the knowledge that they have on dogs. So,
for example, I don't know if you saw this gym,
the video of the calf in a veal crate looking
the snowflake terrible, but some saw that as as cute,
while other people saw it as cruel. Now I saw
(15:48):
it as cruel, and many did, but on very different levels.
Some didn't see the create at all. In the picture,
all the conditions, all the confinement and isolation. Others saw
a calf that would go to slaughter with in six
months of its life, haven't been taken away from its mother,
deprived of its mother and of course natural nourishment, and
then others sort of the loneliness, the separation, isolation, and
(16:09):
again that's another level of cruelty when an animal is
not allowed the freedom to be, maybe care and have space,
you know. So this is I think a prime example
of different levels of education, knowledge and experience that people have.
And of course there are people who absolutely couldn't care
less about animals and we'll say, oh that col's having
a great time, what it's going to got a slaughter
(16:31):
and it's by itself, you know what I mean, and confined.
So when you see these videos, I think it's really important.
I think we'll start a campaign. When you see these videos,
take a really good look at the image or the
video and the situation, the environment, the animals reactions and
ask yourself is it cute or is it cruel? And
(16:52):
I think that's a prime example of this of where
people are when it comes to education in some countries
are not where they need to be. This is a
massive step. This is a massive that they recognize that
you need to not find animals, you need to not
have pictures of animals, you need to not go pet
animals because it's extremely stressful for them. And I think
(17:14):
they'll catch up. They'll catch up. But let me tell
you something. Their laws, some of those laws are better
than what we've got here. Absolutely they are now the
whole We've still got a fair bit of that going
on in Russia, not Russia, Ireland. We still have it
in England with the breeds. Let me tell you about this,
and of course that is coming up for discussion I
(17:36):
think in Parliament, which is really good. And we do
have an animal welfare what's the word, what's the word mission? No,
it's a man animal welfare minister, minister, I think it is.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Yeah, we have a lot of ministers, yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
I think, and I think strange country and it's.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Minister Minister of silly walks. Yeah there, remember minister. Yes,
I do famous wreck his hips over.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
There and so we did. We're talking about Monty Python,
we're talking about John Plice anyway. So the way it's
in England is they still love this this list of
animals that they say are vicious and dangerous and if
you've got one of those breeds, you have to take
them down for an assessment. People, and then they decide
(18:25):
whether your dog needs to be muscled in public. And
that's a point. It's going to be up for discussion,
which is good, and Ireland needs to do the same,
and I no doubt Russia will get there as well.
But it's great news. Isn't that great news? I mean,
that's like a big sweeping this is what's happening. I
love the fact they've got people out the tickets in
(18:46):
people who don't pick up their poop. It's not right,
pick up your poop, pick up your poop. In other news,
and again great news, this is a victory coming out
of Iowa, where my friend Pamily is in town corn Down.
Iowa AGGAG law ruled unconstitutional and undercover investigations that factory
(19:08):
farms are protected by the First Amendment. So our fantastic
friends over at the Animal Legal Defense Fund have led
this coalition. But the US District Court for the Southern
District of Iowa struck down the Iowa AGGAG law, holding
that the ban on undercover investigations at factory firm, farms,
(19:29):
and slaughter houses violates the First Amendment. So in twenty seventeen,
I Say Our Fantastic Friends over Animal Legal Defense Fund
led a coalition of animal, environmental and community advocacy groups
in challenging the laws constitutionality. Federal courts similarly struck down
AGGAG laws in Iowa, in Idaho and Utah as unconstitutional,
(19:52):
and Iowa's AGGGAG law criminalizes undercover investigations at a broad
range of animal facilities, including factory farms, fee mills, and
slaughter houses. This is to try and prevent advocates from
exposing animal cruelty and environmental workers' rights, as well as
food safety violations. The law achieved its goal of suppressing
(20:12):
undercover investigations. No investigator have taken place since the law
passed in twenty twelve. So get ready and this stuff,
it has to be exposed. It impacts animals, it impacts
people as well. Anyway, GAG laws are a pernicious attempt
by animal exploitation industries to hide some of the worst
(20:34):
forms of animal abuse in the United States, said executive
director Stephen Wells. I've interviewed Stephen before one of my
all time favorite.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Interviews, super intelligent.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Oh my god, what a brilliant organization. And he said,
today's victory makes it clear that the government cannot protect
these industries at the expense of our constitutional rights. And
it said, for more than a century, the public has
relied on undercover investigations to expose illegal and cruel practices
on factory file and slaughter houses, and no federal laws
govern the condition in which farmed animals are raised, and
(21:05):
laws addressing slaughter and transport are laxly enforced. Under Cover
investigations are the primary avenue through which the public receives
information about animal agricultural operations, and Iowa is the biggest
producer of pigs raised for meat and hens raised for
eggs in the United States, making it critically important that
the investigations are not suppressed. The Animal Legal Defense is
(21:29):
the nation's pre eminent legal advocacy organization for animals and
led coalitions to strike down AGAG laws in Idaho and Utah.
Litigation against the North Carolina AGAG law is ongoing, and
I don't doubt for one minute they're not going to
have success there as well. So, yeah, it's it's really
really great news, really really happy about that, and I
(21:53):
sent it over to Pam this morning and I said, hey,
good news coming out of Iowa for you. But she
has a hard time. She sees all those those pigs
into slaughter, you know, on the trucks, and it just
it kills her.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
You know what's interesting, Pam is kind of like, you know,
we live in Las Vegas where people call it Sin City. Well,
you know, it's like almost three million people that live here.
It's a big family town too. But you know, they
always made jokes, you know, oh, what's a priest doing
in the middle of Sin City. Well, Pam, being the
(22:24):
animal advocate she is in the middle of Iowa is
like a priest being in the middle of Las Vegas.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Yes, it is, Honestly, I don't know as she hopes sometimes.
She moved there earlier last year, and I just don't
know how she copes because they've got some of the
worst animal laws, one of the worst states, I think,
and of course, you know you've got this aggag thing.
Thankfully it's going to change, but you know, she's she's
having to witness people chaining up the dogs outside and
(22:49):
people aren't on board with you know, good nutrition and
alone raw feeding. There's still vaccinating like it's going at
a fashion. And it's not that she's got work cut
out for her. I mean there's always good that comes
out of having a PAM in a place like Iowa,
you know. So that's good news. And I'm really really
(23:10):
thrilled about that. And there's one more piece of news
before we take a break, and again I think this
is a great it's great news. It's coming out of
Scotland and the designer dogs and cat breeding is going
to be outlawed in Scotland this year under new regulations.
And when they put these regulations together, it is with
a heck of a lot of research and recommendations. It's
(23:31):
not oh, someone just comes forward and says, oh, I
think we should just ban this. I mean there are
there are reasons and research and information available on this.
But the breeding of designer pets could be effectively outlawed
by this year. And the Scottish government plans to tighten
the licensing of dog, cat and rabbit breeding to stop
people breeding these animals in poor conditions and then selling
(23:52):
them on. And a consultation was launched between September and
November to help stakeholders shape new regulations, and this week
in Parliament, the Minister of Rural Affairs, Mari Gujion said
that the responses will be published at the end of
the month with the hope to introduce legislation. Part of
the new approach would involve harmful breeding practices by discouraging
(24:15):
the breeding of pets with a predisposition for genetic conditions
which can lead to health problems in later life. As
a condition of licensing, breeding practices likely to cause the
offspring suffering in later life will be prohibited. And as
I start listening to some of these things, you're going
to go, yep, yeap, seen that that's awful. Yeah, And
this is how it happens. So in recent years there's
(24:37):
been a growth in demand and I think we can
all attest to this for pets with a particular physical
feature such as as short nose and big prodruding eyes
and you know, long extra longears. And it's certainly incentivized
breeders for extreme characteristics in some breeds, but it does
heighten the risk of these these terrible genetic conditions that
(24:58):
can seriously affect their health in the future and the
well being of the animal. And it can also place
unexpected financial strain on the owner, as many of those
pets will need ongoing and costly veterinary care and surgeries.
I mean, I'm hearing about people whose bulldogs the folds
are so bad that are over their eyes, they can't see,
(25:18):
and they're having tough surgeries. It's just ridiculous, it's horrible. Anyway.
Of course, there's always concerned over these Scottish puppy farms
as well, which you know in England they've banned the
third party sales, which is a great thing anyway. The
Scottish fold cat, which has a genetic defect preventing it
(25:40):
from forming cartilage and the absence of which causes long
term arthritis. Your munchkin cat, disproportionate short legs.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Your much cat.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Yeah, if I was a cat, I think I would
be a munchkin care the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, which
can be bread to have an unnash truly small skull
that compresses the brain and it affects his spinal cord.
And then like I said, English bulldogs, French bulldogs and pugs,
and of course they have those breathing problems caused by
narrow constructed airways, pinched nostrils, you know, squat necks and
(26:17):
you know, and if they want to ounce overweight, it's
going to be an even bigger problem. And of course,
you know, I think a lot of this is driven
by celebrities who buy these breeds and all their fans
want them, and then the demand is there and here
we go. It's seriously, it's like fashion. It's like, what's
the lacest shoe that just came out? Because you know,
(26:38):
my favorite celebrities were And it really is, when it
comes down to it come down to THATX, it's all
about looks. It's never about health anyway. I spoke to
one for the Animal welfare charity and Dogs Trust, big
organizations said. One particularly welcome inclusion and the new regulations
is how to protect offspring from inherited defects, including disease
and other health problems. This includes rachiocephalic issues, the result
(27:02):
of a shortened skull, and how it impacts the breeds.
I mean, there has been a big demand I will
say for pugs, French bulldogs and English bulldogs. I have
to tell you, but we're seeing these these characteristics and
they're not good. I mean even affects their ability to
breathe and even play, and how fun they can't breathe.
Scottish spcia's chief Superintendent Might Flynn. He said that the
(27:25):
SPCIA believes that all animals should be bad to enjoy
a normal life and be able to freely express normal behaviors,
which includes being free from pain. See he's right on
the level of the five freedoms of Animal welfare right there.
They totally get it. And so while he gave evidence
that the Public Petitions Committee, you know, they they had
(27:46):
a special investigation unit and they said, you know, there's
an unquestionable, unquestionable appetite amongst the public for some of
these breeds, and you know they're defined as either new
breeds or designer breeds, but really just messing up these dogs,
you know. And there are some other other features as well.
They're going to lower the threshold for licensed requirements. So
(28:08):
existing breed legislation allows five or more litters a year
before a license is required, meaning up to forty puppies
could be produced without any legal obligation or licensing and
inspections before before that. So the government proposes to lower
the threshold so that a license requirement will apply to
either anyone in the business of breeding and selling dogs, cats,
(28:28):
or rabbits in a twelve one period anyone producing three
or more litters from their dogs, cats, or rabbits in
the twelve one period. So you know, they're lowering that,
which is a really good thing. Now it means they
can regulate it, brilliant. Other details are you know, when
(28:49):
is it going to you know, be updated. But this
is the overall image to enhance protection of animals whose
welfare is at risk while creating the system that does
not add add to the burden of animal welfare organizations.
This is a very big picture. Look at this, isn't it, Jim.
It's not one little, you know section of it. And
(29:10):
you know, and to the readers who are already working
to a very very high standard. And the welfare of
domestic animals, especially pubs, can be endangered as as a
result of the conditions they experienced from birth and how
they cared for in the early formative weeks of their lives.
Specific issues previously identified by the RSPCA, which by the way,
if you don't know what that stands for, is the
Royal Society Prevention of cruelty to animals. It first started
(29:33):
in my hometown of Sheffield. Yeah. In fact, would you
get me the date on that, Jim, it's the Sheffield
ris PCA when it was founded. And actually I'm going
to go a little bit off the topic. They were
it was founded also to help working horses in Sheffield
because there were never any troughs with any water available.
(29:54):
And to this day now those they had troughs installed
that they were made out of stone, they still exist
and that's kind of how it was dogic. They were
working horses anyway.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
And Sheffield was instrumental in memorializing all war horses.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
Oh that's right, Yeah, forgot bat that then we talked
about that on a previous show. So they say, you know,
puppies being separated from their mothers too early result in
poor physical and mental health.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Eighteen seventy three.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Eighteen seventy three, you know, that was that was a
good year.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
That was That was eleven years before my hometown was
laid out by its original surveyors.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Really we've been going quite some time by that time, Jim.
But they also talk about not being socialized at the
right age lean to chronicle behavioral problems dogs being kept
in unsanitary and unsafe conditions and of course that results
in the spread of disease as well. So the bill
also aims to ensure a more responsible and informed approach
to acquiring and having a puppy or a dog. Responsible
(30:56):
dog owners need to consider whether they'd be able to
look after the puppies by providing delhi needs in terms
of food, water, drink, shelter and exercise. And there's no
time scale at the moment, but the Minister of Rural
Affairs said he wants to introduce the legislation soon after
the stakeholder consultation on the proposal when it comes to
an end. So the online consultation document, I'll put a
(31:16):
link to that because it's very interesting. But lots of
great news, lots of great news in the animal world,
and I'm very happy to be able to deliver that
to you.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Actually, my hometown was actually laid out two years after
the Sheffield RSP and that interesting, very interesting.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
We love a little bit of history, don't we. Jim.
On that note, let's take a break and when we
come back, let's talk about those New Year's resolutions to
improve your pets. Help you all listen to Vegas Rock

to the show. I feel like I am deaf today.
I swear I feel like I can hear that crazy whistling,
but I feel like I'm on the water a little bit.
Yeah yeah, yeah, that's making me insane. Have you heard
about you? You have audio weapons.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Yeah, there's no audio weapons.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
That's what it feels like right now.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
There's no conspiracies in Henderson.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
My ears getting assaulted.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
I would say Henderson has no conspiracy weapons of audio destruction. Today,
I'm pretty sure no one can be bothered. It's Saturday
and the federal government is shut down.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
All right, So no, no one's doing any doing any
any audio what no.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Audio warfare during the government shutdow?
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Oh my gosh, just gym's doing it on me today. Okay,
So let's talk about New Year's resolutions to improve your
pets health. These are very very simple things that you
can do to improve your pets health. And you may
have been thinking about them and you're like, I haven't
really got round to them yet. How do I do it?
Where do I get stuff from? Where do I buy
stuff from? If I need to buy stuff from. While
(33:58):
I'm making it easy for you, really really easy, here
we go. And I do love it when the new
year rolls around. I like to reflect on the past
year and think about my focus for the new year.
And since my big review show of eighteen AD, I've
had quite a few people ask me for just easy,
doable changes. They can make to improve their pets health
(34:20):
and over a well being and environment in twenty nineteen.
And I think the key to any changes is that
they're simple. I applying them one at a time, and
eventually you'll stack them as you solidify each change. With
that said, let's get into some simple, easy to apply
changes that make a positive impact on your pets health
and wellness. Number One, fresh food. So each week, fresh
(34:43):
fruits and vegetables are on our shopping list for our
family and that includes our dogs. So fresh food is
a key component to good nutrition for people and pets.
And research shows that dogs who ate any green, leafy
vegetables like broccoli reduce the risk of of olipping bladdercounts
a by ninety nine zero. Likewise, dogs that consumed any
(35:06):
orange yellow vegetables such as carrots reduce their risk by
seventy percent. So with stats like that, who wouldn't want
to give that to their pet? And it's easy to
incorporate those fresh foods into your pet's daily diet if
you're not already feeding a fresh food species appropriate diet.
And it's a great inexpensive and I think that's key
as well path improving nutrition and here's how you can
(35:29):
do it. So you can take some spinach, broccoli, kale,
carrots and gently steam it. Steam it so you can
break down the cellulose walls. And if you literally feed
one tablespoon a day in the meal, that's it. Those
small changes would be would bring some mighty benefits. So
think about that. It's a super simple thing. You're probably
(35:52):
already buying those vegetables anyway, and steaming them helps break
it down. Or if you've got you know, food processor,
you can you know, mush it down into a bit
of a like a almost like a what do you
call it, like a like a smoothie and put a
tea tablespoon of that on your pet's food and you'll
instantly make an impact. So for those people who would
(36:14):
love to say, you know, I'd love to cook for
my pets, I'd love to go raw, but oh my gosh,
it's such a big thing, this is a great start,
so easy, so simple, doable. You don't have to make
any extra effort, you know, And if you are cooking
your vegs for your family, you know, cook for your
pets too. Just don't add any seasonings. Keep it really simple,
(36:35):
keep it really really chopped up nice and fine, and
your dogs will really really enjoy it without without a doubt.
So let's move on to coconut oil. And it's a
good fat, and it's a good fat to add to
your pet's diet, and it provides many benefits. Here are
some of those benefits. It improves metabolism, improves skin and coat, digestion,
(36:56):
brain function. That's a very good one. It's anti bacteria,
anti fungal, anti viral. You can use it to clean ears,
you can condition poor pattern noses, and you can clean
your dog's teeth with it as well. So the first
thing you're probably going to ask is, oh, gosh, there
are so many coconut oils on the market, it's flooded.
(37:17):
I have no idea what I'm supposed to look for.
We'll keep it very very simple, and what you do
need to look for is organic virgin or organic extra
virgin coconut oil. That's what you're looking for. Not being
paid by Costco, but we get outs from Costco. It's
great price, great value, and so that's well one place
(37:39):
that you can pick that up from. And I'm going
to link some stuff out for you as well. On
the bottom of the show notes, so no need to
grab a pen or anything. I'll have them all for
you on the show notes once it goes up as
a podcast, and you're can ask the next question, how
much do I give to my dog as a supplement.
I don't know how much oil I have to give. Well,
(37:59):
if you use it as a daily sufferment, you'll work
up to about one teaspoon per ten pounds of body
weight per day. So for a twenty pound dog, you're
looking at two teaspoons. Split them up within the meals,
and there's with any new addition to your pet supplementation,
start with probably a quarter of that amount to avoid
any kind of loose stools, any kind of poopocalypse, digestive indiscretions, yes,
(38:25):
and then gradually increase that daily dosage until you get
to the recommended teaspoon per ten pounds. And I like
to add the coconut oil to my dog's meals and
I just split it into for the day, and they're
good to God, and they really like it. They really
like it. Some dogs will eat it straight off the spoon.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (38:41):
And as I mentioned earlier, you can also take your
cocon oil and make toothpaste yeah, and it's a very
easy recipe. It's two tablespoons of baking soda, two tablespoons
of cocone oil, and a drop of peppermint oil, which
is just optional. Yeah, make sure it's a good pepper
oil that's organic. And then you can either use this
(39:03):
is what I think it works very well, is gauze
on your finger. Or now you can buy the microfiber
finger toothbrushes because then you can really feel the teeth.
It's doesn't feel like some big, crazy foreign object coming
into your dog's mouth like what. It's soft, but you
can actually really get on those.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
Check.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
Yeah, you found them on Amazon this week and again
I'm going to link to those. And all you do
is mix all the ingredients together and then decanter them
into a small jar. Place the microfiber finger toothbrush on
your finger, dip it into the toothpaste and rub it
onto your pet's teeth and of course make oial care
a lot of fun for your pets. Works slowly and
(39:42):
work your way into a full cleaning. Don't expect to
do it all at once, because you know you want
to not freak your dog out when you do it.
And if you don't get all the teeth clean, no problem.
You can do a little bit each day and it
won't overwhelm your pets. And trust me, they'll like the
taste of that coconut oil. And it's again it's saves
your money because you're making your own you know exactly
(40:04):
what's going in it. And I do recommend those microfiber
finger toothbrushes. Thinks a brilliant idea. Here's another one. Can
you can you make the noise of a goat? It's
a tired coat, it's tired goat. Goat's milk goat's milk.
Adding goat's milk into your pet's diet and proves gut health.
(40:28):
Depending on what you have available in the area, you
can choose to supplement with fresh raw goat's milk, or
you can pick up the powdered kind and it's easily
digestible in twenty minutes. This is why a lot of
pet parents like to feed it. And let me tell
you what's in goat's milk. Probiotics, vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, trace elements, enzymes, protein,
(40:52):
fatty acids, and of course, like I said, digest in
twenty minutes. So why would you feed this to your dog?
Why would you do that? Here's why you would do it.
And these are the health related issues that it actually
can help with if there's only been any kind of
heavy metal poisoning, malnutrition, GI disease, kidney disease, liver disease,
(41:14):
kidney stones, diabetes, poor digestion, diarrhea, and also if you've
got a dog that's not eating, they will really enjoy
goat's milk and you can pour that on top of
their food, or you can feed it separately. I feed
it separately as a little afternoon treat for my dogs,
and they love it. And it's great because isn't it
(41:35):
funny how your dogs in particular, will learn the very
specific words that you use. So now it's like, who
wants goat's milk? Or they come running in. They're so exciting.
That's a new word that they've learned, and they know
it's a good thing. As I say, if you can't
get raw goat's milk locally, you can actually buy powdered
(41:56):
goat's milk, And that's the one that I've been using
because we have a problem in Nevada with getting a
particular brand goats milk that we all really want because
of a labeling issue because our state requires something else.
Now can you imagine a company having to relabel everything
based on one state. It's crazy, But they sell it
(42:18):
in Utah And I do know a friend that's going
to go up there. And if you freeze it, you
can save it. And you freeze I think up to
two years, so you could stuck up on that stuff.
But great health benefits a great addition to your pet's health.
Like I said last week on the show, probiotics and
probiotics going to be a big topic this year, and
people are really going to get onto the whole gut
(42:38):
health because you know that's where good health starts. And
then I've got one more. Yeah, I've got one more
soap nuts. You may have never heard of soap nuts
in your life.
Speaker 2 (42:52):
We need more, I think we do.
Speaker 3 (42:54):
We're almost at the end, and I want to say
we've had that bag almost a year. I want to
say about that bag almost a year, and let me
tell you about soap nuts. Actually, will you pull up
the soap nuts information gim will I tell them about
the toxicity of detergents detergents, the stuff that you wash
(43:16):
your clothes in, this stuff you wash your dishes in,
all of that, they have a lot of chemicals in them,
all manner of chemicals, none of which are good for
you or your pets. And the fragrance alone can cause
skin issues. So why wash your clothes, your towels, your
bed sheets, your dog beds and something that is not healthy?
(43:38):
And what you can do is you can make a
switch from your detergent to soap nuts. And it says
safe and cost saving replacement. Like I said, we bought
out I think almost a year ago. And they look
like small, shriveled up dates, don't they, Jim. They're coming
in a bag. And then what you do is you
take four or five of these soap nuts out they're organic,
(44:00):
and then you put them in a small bag, drawstring
bag and toss that into your washing machine. And you've
got about four loads out of four or five of those,
and it's got it's got sappening in it, which is
like a natural it's almost like a natural soap agent,
but it is non toxic. And I'm telling you it works.
(44:21):
And I want to say, we paid something like twenty
two dollars for the bag. It's been almost a year.
I mean what we were paying before detergent, what we
were paying for normal detergent, And how many would you
say we would go through any I mean we.
Speaker 2 (44:35):
Had good detergent, we paid four dollars.
Speaker 3 (44:37):
We didn't have.
Speaker 2 (44:39):
It was a good brand detergent. It was cruelty free. No,
but it was cruelty free.
Speaker 3 (44:45):
It was cruelty free. And now here's the thing. I
think that's something you have to question. People buy lots
of things that are cruelty free. Yes, that's a big tick. Yes,
you want to do that. It wasn't tested on animals, yes,
but is it good for animals and people? No. That's
why we changed. And I think that's important for you
to know. So when you are looking at these products,
cruelty free, yes, get that on your list most definitely.
(45:07):
But then also you could go to the Environmental Working Group.
They have an app. It's brilliant and you can find
your product and you can see at what toxicity levels
each of these products are and it lists every single
ingredient and the dangers associated with them, and it cannot
be be informed in a very good way. But that's
why we got rid of it because when I started
(45:29):
reading up and I did a show on it, oh
my gosh goodness, it was just so like, no, I
can't do this to my pets. I can't do this
to us, because think about it. Your dogs lay on
the dog beds. You give your dog a bathla a shower,
you drive down in the towel, you your dogs sleep
with you. They're laying on the bed sheets, were laying
on the bed sheet and it was just it was
(45:51):
just a simple, inexpensive way to make that switch. And
what I have noticed when you I think the last
gig you were on, Jim and the hotel launded all
your clothes, and when you unpacked him, the smell of
fragrance made me feel sick on the clothes. When was that,
I want to say it was where I think it
(46:13):
was Omaha.
Speaker 2 (46:15):
Where you had your colles had to do laundry.
Speaker 3 (46:17):
So no, you hadn't laundered, but the smell was so overpowering.
I mean, just fragrance alone is not good. Do you
have the information on the.
Speaker 2 (46:28):
I'm looking it up right now. They're different brands.
Speaker 3 (46:30):
No, No, not the brands, just organic soap nuts. Just
the information on where they are. I think they're from,
like the the the Himalayan something or other had gone.
Let me find it soap nuts, And to give you
the information, you can get them powdered if you don't
want to do the actual nuts. Here's a tip though,
(46:52):
The selp nuts come with a draw string bag. If however,
you ever get small bags, got little zipper on the top.
That's the best way because sometimes they come open and
there's little it's going flying out. But let me tell
you about soap nuts. Here we go. It's called Sapindus,
and it's a genus of about five to twelve species
of shrubs and small trees in the Laichi family. And
(47:13):
they do look like it, don't they gym and sapin
to say no no. Sapindacea is native to warm, temperate
to tropical regions in both Old World and New World.
The genus includes both deciduous and evergreen species. And again
you want to go, well, they are organic because you know, hello,
(47:37):
they grow. But here's another little bit more information on them.
And it's like a it looks like a berry shell
that it naturally contains a cleaning agent that works like detergent,
and they grow in the Sapindus mucarosi trees in the Himalayas.
I was right, I was right. But the natural cleaning
agent found in these berries, it's called sapenin, and it
(47:58):
works as a surfactant and it breaks usace tension of
the water to penetrate the fibers of your clothing, lifting
stains from the fabric and leaving dirt suspend in the
water that runs away. And regular salt board detergents contain
chemical suffactors too. This is just a natural source. Despite
the soap in its name, soap does not contain soap
that causes soap scum and build up like a regular
(48:18):
barrow soap does. And it's very very gentle on your
clothes and your skin, and it makes them make them
ideal for those people with skin issues like exma, allergies,
psoriasis because they're so mild and they are perfect for
baby clothes and even cloth diapers. And I learned about
these from our friend La Lane when she had her babies.
She did a whole, big, big switch. And they're harvested
(48:41):
the wild harvested, meaning they are gathered from wild trees
grown without any kind of chemicals or fertilizers or pesticides,
and sappenin actually tastes bad to insects and no pesticiz
and needed. And the trees naturally love poor uncultivated soil.
They are organically grown by Mother Earth and certified USDA
Organic and I highly reckon commend them. They are also
(49:01):
not allergy safe, which is a little bonus there, and
I say I highly recommend them absolutely. So great change
you can make for you and your pets so that
you're not putting anything toxic on their skin or their
pores as you dry them from the shower or they
lay on their beds. So those are the changes that
you can make this year as your New Year's Pet
(49:23):
resolutions so that you could improve your pet's health, well
being and environment. So just a quick recap fresh food, spinach, broccoli, kale, carrot,
steam it down tablespoon a day or tablespoon on each meal. Perfect,
you're instantly improving their diet. Coconut all great fat improves them.
A tabolin skin coat, digestion brain function. Puts it into
(49:46):
your own toothpaste recipe and you know you're saving money
on pet toothpaste. And this way, you know exactly what's
you know, what you're using. You can supplement the diet
with your coconut or so easy, you know, one teaspoon
for every ten pounds weight of your dog and gradually
work your weigh up to that, and then your goat's milk.
(50:12):
It's great benefits containing you know, for health and got health,
and you know it's probiotic bits of mimneral ectrolytes, I
mean protein easily digested and I say great for pets
that aren't eating well. And you can get it in
the raw goat's milk form or powdered and then finally
(50:33):
you're organic so nuts. So there are some very easy
doable You can buy all of these things anything that
you would need on Amazon. I'm going to link them
all in the show notes and that way you don't
have to try and type stuff down and try and
remember that it's all going to be there for you.
Speaker 2 (50:53):
Now.
Speaker 3 (50:53):
Another way that you can get these show notes that
I'm talking about is to subscribe to the radio show.
And if you would like to do that, you can
hop on over to our website, or you can hop
on over to my Instagram account and click the link
in my bio and you'll see why you can subscribe
(51:15):
and what we're doing on that subscription that it's very
very simple. Even if you listen to the live show,
or if you miss the live show, the live show
will go out to the people who subscribed as a podcast,
and within that link, you'll be able to find all
of the show notes to make your life super easy.
And that way you'll never miss a show. So that's
(51:35):
pretty easy for you to do as well. Well, Jim,
I think it's been a good show. A timing has
been perfect today, wouldn't you say?
Speaker 2 (51:43):
Very good? You even have a few more minutes if
you want to keep onmbling on another topic, I would
give you seven more minutes if you'd.
Speaker 3 (51:52):
Like, Kevin more minutes.
Speaker 2 (51:54):
Although you got something under your feet by the way,
so watch out.
Speaker 3 (51:58):
It's easy to a very little it's very little dog
and the do you know what I just ordered this morning?
You know what I'm into that, I'm totally into finding
lots and lots of personalized products to recommend to our audience.
And you will if you particularly be following me on Instagram.
Very active over there, and I found some great programs.
(52:20):
One of my favorites is cuddle clones, And no, it's
not a real clone of your pet. But let me
tell you something. These are made Oh my gosh, so well.
The quality is unreal and how much they look like
your pet is uncanny. And they do work with incredible
artists that take photos of your pets. Once you choose
(52:41):
the product you want, whether it's a cuddly toy, whether
it's bedroom slippers, whether it's a bag, and they clone
your pets. It's so impressive. And then the artists go
to work on the markings and any interesting you know,
characteristics that they have and when you actually you customize it,
once you upload your pictures, what you'll do is you'll
(53:04):
you know, say, I want, you know, my pet to
have an open mouth, a clothes mouth, you know, standing
or seated, so you get to really really personalize it.
And honest to goodness, they're so impressive. There's a couple
of them. You look at the photo, you go, oh,
one's a real dog. Because of that good that's called
cuddle clones. So I've been looking at lots and lots
of companies that do personalized products. I think that people
(53:28):
really like their special touch. Well, this morning I ordered
a mug and if anyone knows me from my Instagram account,
every morning I post a little boomerang of my coffee
that I have in the morning. Go is say good morning,
have a lovely day. And it's a different cup, teacup, mug,
(53:50):
you name it. I've got quite the collection. I would say.
It's a healthy hobby that I have. And so I
found another company. Do you just roll dry balls in
the back of your head? So I've just ordered this
mug that's going to have my three dogs on it
with their names. So when that arrives, because I like
(54:13):
to check out, make sure the quality is great, and
if I love it, I'm going to recommend it to you.
And it's a it's a very sweet design. It's very
very sweet and it's the back of my dogs. I
really like that idea. But their names will be honest.
So when that comes in, I will let you know
about that. Well, Jim, It's been a good show, lots
(54:35):
of great news. I do like the good news coming
out of the animal world because there's lots of horrible
news and so it's good to hear all the good news.
Speaker 2 (54:44):
It's our second show of nineteen.
Speaker 3 (54:46):
It's our second show already, it's flying already. It's like, really, yeah,
it's been. It's been a good start of the year,
isn't it, Jim? And what was I gonna say? Oh? Yeah,
Now you've got your your pet tips that you can
strive to meet those goals of improving your pets health, wellness, nutrition,
(55:07):
and environment. And we'll provide more as we go along
throughout the yearlight we always do. And of course, like
I said earlier, this show is dedicated to sweet Rosie.
And remember, if you'd liked the show and you've been
listening on your smartphone or maybe your laptop, it's very
very easy to share the show and of course now
