We can never seem to stay away from sad topics for too long on this podcast, but I always look at them as a way to help this community prepare and heal from all that sadness that we usually suffer alone. So, be sure to take some notes.   

Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts. 

My guest today is Jean Alfieri. Jean is also known as "The Dog Author" because of her numerous books revolving around man's best friend. But pet grief can come in all shapes and sizes, from furry to scaled, and it can be one of the hardest losses in a world where your companion might be the only constant... And if it's not obvious: both Jean and I have shed quite a few tears between recording and editing this episode, so don't be ashamed to do the same.

If you've made it this far, do me a small favor: Post the name of a beloved animal that you have lost in whatever comment section this listening platform has. I feel like remembering them is the best way to carry their memory with us...
