Alan Cable, or doctor Debby. This is your first week.

(00:21):
Well welcome. Let's see big show today. Joanne Worley joins
us for the season of Stars. Stacey, what what's going
on in your world?

Speaker 2 (00:30):
You probably think, like everybody does. Your dog's pretty well behaved.
It's a good dog until he sees the postman and
then he goes like crazy, or the FedEx guy or
any delivery guy. Well, there's a reason why they do this.
It's in their feet.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
I'll tell you about it.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Coming up on Animal Radio News.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Joey Valani, what are you working on today?

Speaker 4 (00:49):
We're gonna talk about how to vibrate your color.

Speaker 5 (00:53):
Vibrate, vibrate you guys, you guys got me. You know,
it's the whole train of thought.

Speaker 4 (00:58):
Today in the studio are going to teach people how
to get their dog's color very vibrant.

Speaker 5 (01:04):
Okay, not vibrate your color, get your color. Oh God, I.

Speaker 4 (01:08):
Can't speak to the how I'm sorry, I'm having problems
with the mic, the headsets falling off my glasses.

Speaker 5 (01:14):
That's one of those days.

Speaker 6 (01:15):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
That's the first time I've ever actually seen you in glasses?
Are those brand?

Speaker 4 (01:18):
I had a problem with contacts now, I had a
contact problem when I did that. I did an event
in Canada a couple of weeks ago and I almost
went blind literally and it was since then I can't
put my contacts in. But I haven't gone to the
eye doctor yet, so maybe maybe I should do that.

Speaker 1 (01:34):

(02:01):
what do you say? Alan?

Speaker 8 (02:02):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Which one?

Speaker 5 (02:04):
I'm game?

Speaker 9 (02:04):
Man?

Speaker 5 (02:05):
Are you game? I'm game?

Speaker 3 (02:06):
I'm ready. I'm ready to go.

Speaker 10 (02:07):
Nine three?

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Hi, Mike, how you doing?

Speaker 11 (02:09):
I'm doing fantastic. How about yourself?

Speaker 1 (02:11):
Ooh splitting Adams? Where are you calling from today?

Speaker 11 (02:15):
Calling from New Mexico?

Speaker 1 (02:16):
What's going on with you?

Speaker 11 (02:18):
Well? I drive a truck, and you know, I see
all these tread drivers out here with dogs on the
road with them, and I was wanting to get your
guys's maybe possibly better educated opinions about what you guys
think about that. Is it good for the dog to
be in the truck and on the road is it not?
And if it is, what's the best breed do you
guys think for the truck?

Speaker 3 (02:36):
That's a good question, Mike, Mike, why do you want
a dog?

Speaker 8 (02:39):
Is it because you're a dog lover or because you
see all the other guys doing it and you want
to do it too.

Speaker 11 (02:44):
No, No, I've grown up around dogs on my life.
I love them. You know, my mom she owns a
grooming shop in New Mexico, has for fifteen years, you know,
just been raised around dogs on my life and just
you know, I'm out here on my own and just
be kind of cool to have a buddy with me,
I guess absolutely.

Speaker 8 (03:02):
Now, do you want a puppy or do you want
to get a dog? That's already an adult.

Speaker 11 (03:06):
Well again, you know, I'm not sure. I mean, I'm
always you know, my family, when we've gotten the dog,
it's always been from a puppy. That way, they grow
up and you train them and they're they're with you,
and I'm just that's just kind of how we've always
done it. I mean, the puppy would be great, but
I guess it'd be really hard to man at the
very least hard to housebreak. IM going down the road.
You can't properly do that. I would think driving all.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
The time, Actually you can as long as you got
the time.

Speaker 8 (03:31):
I mean, the best part about having a dog with
you when you're in the truck is, you know, dogs
are pack animals. You're the pack leader and the dog
always gets to be with the pack leader, which is
awesome for the dog. And I'm surprised more truckers don't
have dogs. That's exciting for a dog, and it's exciting
for you too. And the only thing you have to
worry about is that with a puppy, you got to
stop every two three hours to let a puppy go

(03:52):
to the bathroom because they have to go frequently.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
But once the dog grows up, you don't have to
do that now.

Speaker 8 (03:58):
If you can pull over every two three hours and
take the dog for a potty break, it's gonna be
real easy to potty train that dog, very simple. He'll
never have a chance to need to go without you
already addressing the issue, so he will get trained very
quickly to understand that you're gonna stop every couple hours
and let him go to the bathroom. As far as
a calm dog, a dog that can sit still for

(04:19):
a long period of time, you know, believe it or not,
greyhounds are awesome dogs. They're very cool and mellow. They
don't need a lot of exercise. Basset Hounds are like that.
But if you want a dog that's like a lab,
or you want a bigger dog, or any dog, the
trick is to observe the puppies. If you can find
somebody who's got a litter of puppies and just watch them,
you're gonna see which ones are rambunctious and goofy and

(04:41):
crazy and energetic. And there's always a couple that like
to lay around a lot, and, believe it or not,
when they get older, that pretty much transfers.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
They don't change.

Speaker 8 (04:49):
If a dog is mellow as a puppy, he's gonna
be mellow as an adult. And if he's a crazy lunatic,
I want to play lots of energy dog when he
gets bigger, he's gonna be the same up until he's
about four five years old, and then it'll start to
mellow out a little bit. So it's all in the
observation of you finding puppies and watching them for a
couple of hours, and you'll be able to see which
ones are mellowed out.

Speaker 11 (05:10):
Well, I had an old English bulldog on the truck
with me years and years ago, and I just, you know,
I let her go because it didn't I wasn't really
sure if you know, she was happi or not. But
I will say as far as mellow and relaxed, that
was the dog to have, because she didn't want to
do much other than just lay around on the bed
or in the seat or on the floor.

Speaker 8 (05:30):
Why weren't you sure she was happy? She was probably
ecstatically happy just being around you, buddy.

Speaker 11 (05:36):
Well, I was a lot younger at the time too,
and I probably had no business back then having a
dog with me. I didn't have the time or the
maturity for it. But you know, I'm thirty two years
old now, that was probably almost ten years ago, and
I'm just think about a little bit and think I
could handle it better.

Speaker 8 (05:51):
Yeah, you have more wisdom in your calmra. But think
about this before you go. A lot of people buy dogs.
They go to work all day. The dog is left
alone nine ten hours a day, locked up in an apartment,
which is fairer you having the dog in your cab,
making stops every now and then playing with the dog.
You know, you got to play with your dog at
least a half hour a day. But the dog is
going to be with you around people, seeing all kinds

(06:13):
of different things, experiencing different smells, but most of all,
you're together as a pack, and that's what dogs crave.
If a dog had his way, you would never leave.
They live in families and packs, and the packs are
always together.

Speaker 11 (06:26):
Sure. Now, one quick question before I let you go.
Your best advice? Now, one thing I'm going to have
grown up around my folks who've had dogs o their lives.
But as far as the track goes, maybe it's a
little different. What is your best suggestion on say the
dog does have an accident? I mean I know some
people use newspapers, some people rub the dog's face, and

(06:47):
I think that's in the humanis all get out, because
I wouldn't want my face rubbed in anything like that.
But do you have a suggestion or a recommendation as
to how to handle an accident?

Speaker 8 (06:57):
Or yes, if the accident is happening right in front
of your eyes, you make a quick correction. And a
correction is just a strong word like no, and give
the dog a little poke, or if the dog is
a puppy, say no. And if you can, if you're
pulled over, pick the dog up and put them outside immediately.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
But the trick is if the dog.

Speaker 8 (07:15):
If a dog has gone and had an accident, if
more than thirty seconds goes by, forget about it. Just
clean it up, make believe it never happened, because the
dog doesn't even remember that he or she did it.
And the other thing is to praise your dog. Whenever
your dog goes to the bathroom outside, say good dog,
good dog. And when you catch your dog going to
the bathroom inside, you go bad dog.

Speaker 5 (07:36):
No, no, and they.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
Learn real quick.

Speaker 8 (07:38):
But your dog's not gonna have an accident, except if
it's a puppy and maybe at night if you're sleeping,
if you forget. But when a dog is a puppy,
if you take the dog out every three four hours,
by the time the dog is five, six, seven months old,
that dog is gonna be potty trained. You're not gonna
have to worry about accidents. And the other thing to
remember is if your dog is house trained, your dog

(08:00):
does have an accident or starts having accidents, take your dog.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
To the vet immediately.

Speaker 8 (08:05):
Make sure there's not a medical problem, because that that
happens sometimes.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
Remember they can't walk so well.

Speaker 11 (08:11):
Terrific. Thank you so much for taking my call. And
that was incredible advice and you're awesome. How much you
guys said. I think I'll go ahead and look into
I think you should do it.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
Hey, Mike, what are you hauling before you go? What
are you hauling?

Speaker 8 (08:25):
Oh?

Speaker 11 (08:26):
We haul everything right now. I've got beef and I'm
headed to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and we all furniture and alcohol,
beery and whatever fits in my trailer.

Speaker 8 (08:36):
Hey, if you come out this way, can we load
my mother in law and your truck in the middle
of the night.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
That sure would help me out.

Speaker 5 (08:45):
Anything, buddy, anything, We appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
That man, I don't know. I think most truckers have dogs.
It seems like a lot of them. Do we hear
from them all morning long? And if you don't, you
know why not. But I mean, you're on the road
all day long, little company, they get to get out
and see the world.

Speaker 12 (09:05):
You're listening to Animal Radio Call the Dream Team now
with the free Animal Radio app for iPhone and Android.

Speaker 13 (09:23):
Hey it's Vinnie Penn coming at you again with another
thrilling installment of the Party Animal on Animal Radio. There's
something I've been noticing at my house for the last
two years, in last two summer into the falls in
a row that I find bizarre. I can't even believe
it's taken me this long to put it out there
on the Animal Radio airwaves. When I sit out by

(09:46):
my pool on the weekends or even during the day.
And I'm not exaggerating in the slightest when I say this,
there is a squirrel that I like to call clockwork squirrel,
not like a clockwork orange.

Speaker 6 (10:00):
Uh.

Speaker 13 (10:01):
You know he's murdering anybody, But at the same time,
every day you could you could set your clock by
this squirrel at one oh five every day, he comes
from one side of the yard on the fence all
the way down the fence, jumps from one fence to
the other fence, and comes all the way around the

(10:21):
other way, same time every day, two summers in a row.
My sister was just over at this happened. I heard
her on the phone saying to someone on her cellphone
out in my backyard, Oh, it's it's just a couple
of minutes in one right now. I'm gonna lay out
in the sun for a couple of minutes more and
then I'll be by. And I said to her, Lord,

(10:42):
watch this in about five minutes, watch you at about
one oh five, this squirrel is going to She thought
I had like trained it, or that there was some
huge route. You know, I don't know what you're gonna
buy it. She's like, how did you know that? How
could you know that this squirrel was going to come
around same time every day, one oh five, two summers
in a row. The squirrel comes down one side of

(11:04):
the fence, hops to the other fence, and goes Yeah,
I say, he's visiting a lady friend. I say, he's
got his nuts in mind, and he's visiting a lady friend.
No one else seems to have a reasoning as are
they that patterned a creature? Is he working? I mean,
did Disney have it right? Are these animals doing a
little bit of work? Punching a clock, whistling while they work?

(11:27):
And I don't know what it is, but I can
set my clock by the.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
Clock work squirrel.

Speaker 13 (11:33):
I should actually tail him one time and take a
look and see. As a matter of fact, one time
I did look, Say, he just disappeared off into the
other yard. There's got to be a possum. He's got
something going on with. I think he's got a little
something happening with a possum. And if I look around,
I bet you there's a squirre some somewhere. Half squirrel

(11:55):
half possum.

Speaker 12 (13:00):
You're listening to animal Radio. Here's Holland Judy. Hi, Andrew,
how are you doing.

Speaker 18 (13:06):
I'm doing pretty good.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
Where are you calling from today?

Speaker 18 (13:08):
Well, I'm in Utah now, truck driver, Yes i am.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
What are you hauling? That's a new question I'm asking
because you be nosy here. How what's going on in
your world?

Speaker 18 (13:18):
I've got an Australian caval dog puppy. She's a year
and three month Okay. My dad was saying he noticed
that she looks like she might be partially blind. I
left her at home for a month and she would be.

Speaker 11 (13:31):
Walking with him.

Speaker 18 (13:31):
Stop and he go down to the end of the
hall and turn around. She'd be sitting there snipping around
like she's tracking. But I've really never noticed anything other
than a night with her.

Speaker 10 (13:41):
What are you noticing at night? What's she doing?

Speaker 19 (13:44):
Well, like my.

Speaker 18 (13:44):
Buddy, you know, Chris walks up and he's still in
the dark, and she'll see him and she'll get a
kinda su posture going, and then as soon as he
hits the light close enough, she'll go into happy mode
and go run over and get attention.

Speaker 10 (13:57):
So yeah, So I guess the first thing is we
need to assess it and figure out if your baby
is having visual problems. And when you say the breed,
I guess the first thing that jumps out in a
herding breed. Some of the cattle dogs, the collies, there
are some types of congenital problems that they can be
born with that affects the retina, the back part of
the eye, and there's kind of this whole complex of

(14:19):
different problems. And some pets will have different degrees of
vision problems. Some are completely blind, some have one eye
that has a problem, and so on. So I think
the first thing when you do is figure out if
we do in fact have a visual problem, and some
things at home. Some of these tests are kind of
crude in the sense that you know, we basically test
how the dog responds to things moving, whether it be

(14:42):
in light or in darkness. So one of the first
things I'd have you do is kind of sit with her,
turn the lights on, and have a cotton ball nearby,
and basically throw the cotton ball in front of her
line of vision and see if she tracks that. We
want to use something very light weight, like a cotton wall,
because it doesn't really send off any kind of air

(15:03):
currents when you throw it by. If you something bigger
or you wave your hand, you might send off these
air currents. So test that in light and in darkness
and see how she responds. That would be one thing.
The other would be to actually put her through a
maze test in light and in darkness. So you put
her on a leash, keep her really tight to your side,
and set up some little barriers, and you basically, as

(15:25):
horrible as it sounds, you want to guide her towards
those things in her midst and see if she can
maneuver around them, and if she can see them and
avoid them, then it's kind of a crude test a
vision there. But for most doggies in this category, especially
since you're young, I would recommend to see a veterinarian
because we would need to do a good exam of

(15:46):
the retina, the back part of the eye.

Speaker 18 (15:49):
Okay, there is one thing that I have noticed with
looking directly in her eyes on plots, she's got almost
like looks almost like aluminus and clear spot.

Speaker 11 (16:00):
Anything.

Speaker 10 (16:01):
I mean, it could be. And the big thing is
also is looking at the size and the shape of
her pupils. If in bright light, the normal dog eye
response bright light would be that the pupils should get small.
If her eyes remain dilated so you can see a
lot of that pupil, that may mean that we have
some issues going on there. Or if you see an

(16:22):
uneven size of those pupils between one eye and the
other eye, that would also be a symptom that you know,
we've got something going on. And you know if if
she's a little visually, you know, challenged. Most of these
dogies can live wonderful lives and they kind of adapt
with all their other uh, with their other senses, especially
the nose. The nose helps so much with these guys

(16:44):
in getting around and maneuvering. So it's not a horrible
thing for her to have to deal with.

Speaker 11 (16:49):
Okay, thanks for the.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
Call, Andrew. Time of year where a lot of us
are getting a new dog. Can't just go and pick
the cutest one that's in the box there at the
at the supermarket, can you?

Speaker 20 (16:59):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (16:59):
No?

Speaker 10 (17:00):
And the big thing is a lot of times I'll
see pets that people just get because they think I
just want a dog, and they don't put a lot
of thought into it. So we want to look at
not only your lifestyle, but we also want to inspect
the health of the pets. This is going to be
a lifelong companion. You want to start off on the
right foot with behavior and overall health. So for me,
it's always about looking at that eye and nose combination.

(17:22):
Snotty nose cats, puppies with boogers in their eyes. You
know that could be a symptom of respiratory infection.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
It doesn't mean that they're just messy. It could actually
mean there's a health problem.

Speaker 10 (17:31):
Yeah. So if you don't want to start off on
a foot where you have to deal with a medical
problem from the get go, it's the one important thing
to look for, but also you know me, it's incoming
and outgoing evidence. So depending on how the puppy or
kitten is eating, you know, watch them eat, do they
tear up the food? Are they eager to eat as
well as when it come out to the backside, and

(17:52):
is there any diarrhea symptoms of illness like that?

Speaker 1 (17:55):
Do you want a dog or a cat that is
eager to eat?

Speaker 10 (17:58):
You want one that's eager to eat, it has a
strong appetite. You know, hopefully not one that's going to
plow down it's littermates over to do that. But you
definitely want to have that strong appetite. That makes things
easier and that's a symbol of overall health at that
moment in time. If they're a good eater, so very important.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
How do you test their temperament there?

Speaker 10 (18:17):
For puppies, one of the simplest thing is turn them
over on their backs, see how they respond. And we
want them to be relaxed, We want them to be submissive,
and we don't want a dog that's going to wrestle
and try to bite you along the way. That just
makes training easier. And then you also just want to
make sure that they're going to be friendly with people,
that they're interactive with people. They want to see the
human come up to them and check them out, not

(18:38):
just hiding and cowering in a corner.

Speaker 8 (18:40):
Boy, these were all signs Ladybughead when I got her hoops.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
But she turned out Okay, she did.

Speaker 10 (18:47):
She's a good little plo.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
So you should watch them play. I guess when they're
in how they interact, right.

Speaker 10 (18:52):
Yeah, So if they're with cage maids or with their littermates,
you want to see how well they're getting along with
each other. You want to see if there's a bully
in the group. Because I have actually see puppies at
eight weeks of age that have already demonstrated aggression and
dominance behaviors, either with their other littermates or with the
veterinarian at that age. So we are early cues that
you can pick up by watching how they observe, how

(19:14):
they behave with other people and animals at that time.
And then the final thing I'd say is ask for
the medical information. If you're going to either a reader
or a person who has a dog and says, hey,
I can't take care of it. Anymore. Have they taken
care of it? Do we have vaccination histories? Do we
have any kind of medical care for the parents that
might have been? That means a lot for where that
puppy or kitten is starting off at that moment in time.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
Okay, when you find the perfect pet, take a picture
on your smartphone and send it to us or post
it over at our Facebook page. We were getting great
pictures of some brand new animals. There's a pig hipster
pig up there this week that has a tattoo and everything.

Speaker 7 (19:50):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
I know, I've never seen anything like that, but one
of our listeners sent that in. Send your pictures in.
We want to see your new addition to your family.

Speaker 21 (20:02):
If you're a diabetic, we have great news. You can
end the painful fingersticks with a new CGM plus. They
may be covered by Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance. If
you use insulin or have had hypoglycemik events, you may qualify.

Speaker 22 (20:32):
This is an Animal Radio news update.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
I'm Stacey Cohen for Animal Radio. Is your dog left
pod or right pod? Does he go after the mailman?
If he does, he's probably left pod. If your otherwise
well behaved dog barks at the mailman, the reason could
well be in his feet. Scientists have found that left
pod canines are more aggressive towards strangers than their right
pod counterparts. They tested dozens of pets with a special

(20:56):
toy to find out which side they favored, and then
they analyze their behavior. While the left pause controlled by
the right hemisphere of the brain, which other studies have
shown is linked to negative emotions, thus going after the mailman,
The results mirror those for humans, as research has shown
the same is true of people. Some owners of exotic
animals say there's a new Ohio law and its owner

(21:17):
as and it infringes on their constitutional rights, and they've
asked a federal appeals court to strike it down. The
private owners argued in a brief that the law violates
the First and the Fifth Amendments by limiting their freedom
of association and effectively taking their property by requiring them
to implant microchips in their animals at their own expense
before they're registered with the state. They also argue that

(21:38):
the law includes impossible hurdles that leave owners who want
to operate a for profit business only one option, joining

The attorney Robert Owens called Ohio permitting requirements a sham,
imposing a compliance costs so high that they exceed the
value of the animals involved in threatening to financially wipe
out those who seek permits. I think this is really
stepping from that nut that had all those animals in
Ohio in his backyard and then he went crazy and
shot himself and shot half the animals.

Speaker 3 (22:10):
It's horrible.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
So I think that was when people realized that, you know,
exotic animals needed some type of a law to protect them.

Speaker 10 (22:20):
Well ready for this.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
A town in Spain has found a unique way to
encourage dog owners to pick up after their pets. According
to Orange News, the council and Brunette recently launched a
campaign that involves packaging unscooped droppings and then sending them
back to the owners in a box marked lost property.
A spokesman for the council explains that they had a

(22:41):
team of about twenty volunteers spend a week looking out
for irresponsible owners. Well if they saw somebody who failed
to clean up their pups mess, they'd approach them and
then casually try to find out the dog's name. They
were then able to use the town's registered pet database
to get to the owner's address and return whatever their
dog left behind. The volunteers made one hundred and forty

(23:02):
seven deliveries during the weeklong scheme, and it seemed to work.
They reported a seventy percent drop in unscooped dog poo.
That's a scoop. I Get more animal breaking news at

Speaker 14 (24:06):
Hell wow, good.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
Morning, Good morning, Joanne Worley joining us. What a cheery
little voice.

Speaker 20 (24:13):
Well, thank you, Hal And what a cheery little voice
you hen. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
But first of all, I just want people to know
that just because I'm familiar with Rowan and Martin and
that's where I know you from that I'm still twenty
nine years old.

Speaker 20 (24:27):
And absolutely you know, that's where I met a lot
of people. The first time was on Rowan and Martin's laughing,
and I am so proud of that. We recently had
a kind of reunion back in Connecticut, sou We see
each other quite often, we Californians, but it was there
were some people there that I hadn't seen for a while,

(24:47):
and it was really wonderful fun.

Speaker 10 (24:49):
I have to admit I used to watch it on
a regular basis too.

Speaker 20 (24:52):
You know, I am very involved with actors and others
for Animals. I'm the president of the VP.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
Tell the listeners a little bit about actor.

Speaker 20 (25:00):
Well, actors, it's it's kind of a silly name that
or it is silly when people mess it up. They
say actors and other animals or animals or actors, you
know that thing. But it came about Doris Day years
ago on the set saw a need and was collecting
money from the other actors on the set and for

(25:23):
animals and whatever the need was. Say it was, you know,
a litter of puppies or kittens, something that had to
be taken care of. And the people who were behind
the camera, the lighting crew, the people who did wardrobe,
they all said, I want to contribute. I care. So
that's how the word and others got into it, actors

(25:44):
and others for animals. So anyway, we mainly address Spade
and Neoter because that is the source. As I know
you people know all well of the problem, which is
not enough homes, good homes for all the available pets,

(26:05):
and that that's why so many of them have to
be put down. Is a very kind word, isn't it?

Speaker 4 (26:12):
Uh?

Speaker 20 (26:13):
You know, destroyed?

Speaker 3 (26:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (26:14):
Put to sleep. When they say put to sleep, it
sounds so gentle, put to sleep because I think of
an angelic scene when I think of sleep. But that's
not the case.

Speaker 20 (26:22):
There's the lullaby plane in the background and a little
nappy blanket and no, it is it is so in humane. Uh,
the process, the process and the need is what's in humane.
So the best way we feel, and obviously most of

(26:42):
humane groups feel, is get the spay and neuter in control,
and then you know, do whatever we can in all
the other areas where there is need, like humane legislation
and education, and you know, do whatever we can. But
our main thrust is bayannutter.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
Do you have friends at home? Do you have cats
or dogs or fish?

Speaker 20 (27:05):
Oh? Well, I have right now a miniature obviously, not obviously,
but I'm sure you would assume a saved miniature Yorkshire
Terrier who travels everywhere with me.

Speaker 18 (27:17):
She is and that.

Speaker 20 (27:19):
Is the reason I only have one is I can
get one in cabin with me. It is against all
airplane rules to have two. I know she'd love to
have a brother or sister, but we go. You know,
she went with me up to the Cana Film Festival,
which she went with me back to Connecticut and then
to see and she is a world class traveler.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
Do you have a person she fits in that or
how do you travel with her?

Speaker 20 (27:48):
Oh? I travel with her according to the rules of
the airline, and each of them is a little different.
She travels in a SHERPA, which is an airline approved
bag that goes at my feet in front of me
when I make my reservation. She has her own special
reservation and she has to get a health certificate ten

(28:09):
days before travel. We go to the vet and get that,
and she has to.

Speaker 19 (28:16):
Be well.

Speaker 20 (28:18):
Each airline is different. Sometimes there's only one pet allowed
in cabin and sometimes there are. Usually in first class
it's just one and we go first class because it's
just easier, there's more room.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
So could I run into Joanne really at the post
office with her little dog in a purse or in
tow somehow?

Speaker 20 (28:38):
Absolutely? She yes, absolutely. She has an entire wardrobe of
purses that are hers that go on my shoulder, and
she goes everywhere with me. You know, as a matter
of fact, you're not supposed to take your dog into
the post office.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
Oh really, I didn't know that.

Speaker 20 (28:57):
Yeah. Well you must know that she is service dog, okay.
Same is harmony okay, And she keeps me calm, she
keeps and sane, and that is an extremely good thing.
She is really of service to me and other people. So,

(29:17):
but she does have her own purses and I always
get uh the cotton kind because they breathe, and when
she wants to, she sleeps in there and then or
she'll you know, stand up on her hind legs there
and I support her with my hand underneath she's on
the straps, her on my shoulder and she'll stand up
with the little head out and go what what what's
happening here? But any neat kisses? And what needs to

(29:41):
go on here?

Speaker 5 (29:42):
Do you dress her up? Oh?

Speaker 20 (29:43):
No, she doesn't have to do anything other than be
the most wonderful doggie in the world. I don't dress
her up. I know quite often we uh do a
Christmas card and she never wears an outfit. I wear
the outfit, of course, I wouldn't impose that on her.
As a matter of fact, I just tried to get
her a new necklace. Not necklace, I'm so sorry. Collar

(30:07):
a collar, okay, a new collar with rhinestones on it,
because it was very pretty. But I found that it
wasn't soft enough around her neck and that it could
be a little and I went, oh, I don't know
what I want her to, you know, you know, put
her little paw against that.

Speaker 18 (30:25):
So I went for a very soft version.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
You know what we have in the prize closet there
is we have some of that jewelry. We should send
that off to see if she likes it.

Speaker 5 (30:36):
That we just got it.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
We appreciate you taking time out of your day to
join us for this.

Speaker 20 (30:41):
Saying that I have enjoyed talking to you good people,
and it's always fun to talk to people who have
the same interests at heart, and the fact that we
all care about the welfare of animals is a good
thing and I enjoy talking to other people who had
that at the front of their life mission.

Speaker 5 (32:02):
Animal radio. Baby.

Speaker 4 (32:04):
But listen, I people were asking me, and they asked
what it's a lot and about sprucing up their pet's color,
their color and their coat.

Speaker 5 (32:15):
And there's a real easy way.

Speaker 4 (32:16):
Actually it's it's funny because I did it about a
week ago, and it's something that's really easy if you
do it right now. I'm gonna tell everyone this right now.
If you got a multi colored dog, like a party
colored poodle or something like that, way you know, like
let's Dalmatian is a good example, because everyone can picture
a dalmation, they may not know what a party colored
poodle is. You don't want to try is that it's

(32:37):
it's too difficult to do something like that. But if
your dog is a solid color, if it's solid brown,
for the solid black, if it's apricot, if it's blonde,
real real easy way. The first thing you're gonna do
is go out and get yourself a small jar of assileine,
not scented. Just a regular mascaline is number one. And well,

(32:58):
I gotta tell you what, ky, it will work as
long as it's not the stuff, the warming.

Speaker 5 (33:02):
Gel, just the regular stuff. You know, regular ky actually
will work. So okay, So now that you threw your
little joke in there and it didn't work, because it
still works.

Speaker 4 (33:13):
What we're going to do is is you're gonna go
out and you're go in the shop and you're gonna
go into the is. You're gonna find the just for
men hair color. Okay, that the stuff with being the
mustache the hair color, and you're gonna first go home
and you're gonna do a test patch on.

Speaker 5 (33:27):
Your dog with it.

Speaker 4 (33:28):
Now, the problem is doing the test patch with it
is once you mix this stuff, it's no good anymore.
So just take a couple of drops of each solution
that's in it. It's two solutions. It's the activator and
there's the color. So put two drops of activator two
drops of color, mix it together and put it on
a test but on your dog, leaving off for five minutes,
rinse it off, okay, and just I would wait until

(33:51):
the next day see if there's any irritation. If the
skin looks pink, if something looks different. If if that happens,
you don't want to do this. If it doesn't happen,
the next thing you going to do is you're gonna
figure out a way of how to secure your dog
safely in your bathtub or sink. And I say this
because if you don't, I don't want hate mail. I
don't want people saying to me that my dog jumped

(34:13):
out and stained my carpets and my furniture and everything
in the house, because that will happen if your pet
is not and dogs not cats. This is for dogs, okay,
that you want to make sure that's safe. So I
would do a whole test thing first. If you do
your little test patch, put your dog in the in
the sink in the top sea. How they respond to
the water, the sound of it, you know whatever. So

(34:37):
you're gonna put your dog in while your dog is
and I'm gonna say this.

Speaker 5 (34:40):
Twice, dry while your dog is dry.

Speaker 4 (34:43):
You were going to put the solution on solution, you
just mix it together.

Speaker 5 (34:47):
It comes with a squeeze bottle. Wear gloves. Before you
do all that, I skip the step.

Speaker 4 (34:51):
Make sure you put a little drop of assaline or
ky in their eyes. Now, this is gonna protect the
put it in their eyes.

Speaker 5 (35:00):
It's not gonna hurt them.

Speaker 4 (35:01):
It's you know, we do this a lot when you
use pesticide and use medicated shampoo, stuff that may be
irritating to the pet's eyes. Now it's not something that's
going to resist it. It's not gonna How could I say,
It's not like it's waterproof or a chemical proof. It's
just going to help resist anything from getting in this.

(35:23):
You want to still be real gentle around the eyes.
If something goes in the.

Speaker 5 (35:26):
Eyes, wipe it out. And what I would say is
because you gotta work fast.

Speaker 4 (35:30):
If you have a big dog, you need two people
because this stuff is gonna work real quickly in five minutes.
You got to put it on and rinse it off.
So you're gonna apply to the dog, apply to the
areas that really need it the most, and it's usually
the head and the back, you know, the areas that
you really want the color. You want, leave it on
for the recommended time that it says five minutes. If

(35:52):
your dog is in a solid black or solid brown,
has just you know, like a hint of maybe other colors.
And leave it off of three minutes. It's okay because
when you rinse it off, you'll have you'll achieve the
the natural effect that you want. Shampoo it in, rinse
it off, shampoo the dog normally, and condition conditions. An
important step in this because it's gonna lock everything in place.

(36:14):
After you're done, you're gonna have a dog that looked
like you took ten years off them.

Speaker 5 (36:19):
They look great.

Speaker 4 (36:20):
This is a trick that we use in grooming competitions
when you want the dog to stand out amongst others.
What we do is we'll do this now. We'd usually
use a permanent dye because it stands out a little
bit more. You don't want to do that at home.
That's a little bit it's a little bit dangerous, it's
a little bit messy. It's something if you're not a professional,
don't do it. But the just for men works unbelievable.

(36:41):
You'll have great results, your dog will look great, and
you know what, if you don't want to do it,
bring it to your groomer.

Speaker 1 (36:46):
Is that just for men just the same as like loreal,
the stuff that ladies use to dye their hair.

Speaker 5 (36:52):
It's very close.

Speaker 4 (36:53):
The difference is this is the just for men product
is it's made for men, so it's idiot proof where
the laurel is probably it's it's it's a little bit
more permanent.

Speaker 5 (37:04):
It's a little bit more difficult to work with.

Speaker 4 (37:07):
So I like using adjust for men because it is
idiot proof because they're just shampoos in and out, and
I don't know of any other product that does that.
There may be other products on the market that do it,
but I've tested the adjust for men on pets and
I've never had a problem with it.

Speaker 5 (37:20):
I've never had irritation.

Speaker 4 (37:22):
So that's the one that I'm going to recommend at
this point until i know more about some of the
other products out there.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
Judy had me dye her hair, and uh, you have
to do that really fast. I mean, you've got imagine
doing a whole dog that way.

Speaker 5 (37:36):
That's why I want a dog.

Speaker 4 (37:37):
You need you need a couple of hands. A really
big dog is a challenge. It's gonna be difficult. A
small dog like I have, the carent areas and all
whatever actually medium sized to wall, they're not that hard.
Ladybug would be a breeze because it would take just
two minutes to apply the product and let it sit for.

Speaker 5 (37:52):
A minute or three, depending on how you know how
much color you want. And I love.

Speaker 1 (38:00):
You use that at that one.

Speaker 3 (38:01):
Oh yeah, I use it on my chest and my hair,
my back everywhere.

Speaker 7 (38:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (38:06):
And I'm a just guy myself.

Speaker 8 (38:08):
Oh and it's great for carpeting, you know, dark colored
carpeting if you have a problem.

Speaker 1 (38:12):
Yeah, okay, guys.

Speaker 3 (38:15):
Oh that's growth.

dipped bugs people.

Speaker 3 (40:55):
They kind of beautifully.

Speaker 2 (40:56):
Would you try a bite of rat brucechetta or rat underline?
What about paying a whopping one hundred bucks for a
multi course rat dinner they.

Speaker 1 (41:06):
Did in New York?

Speaker 2 (41:07):
Maybe you wouldn't, but you know those New Yorkers, they'll
try anything. I'll tell you about it coming up on
Animal Radio News.

Speaker 1 (41:15):
I can't wait. Maybe Hungary order called Dominoes and see
if they have any rat Brusheta.

Speaker 3 (41:23):
There's more rats in New York than people, so why
would you have to would get one, That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 10 (41:28):
But it's the use of a resource. Maybe that's the angle.

Speaker 3 (41:32):
That's the angle there it is.

Speaker 1 (41:35):
Let's hit the phones, Beth, Hi, Beth, Welcome to the show.

Speaker 2 (41:39):
Hi.

Speaker 1 (41:40):
Where are you calling from today?

Speaker 19 (41:41):
I'm calling from Nevada City, California.

Speaker 1 (41:43):
Nevada City. But that's so. Is it like on the
border of California, Nevada.

Speaker 19 (41:48):
It's about halfway between Lake Tahoe and Sacramento.

Speaker 1 (41:52):
Okay, sounds like a fun place to live. What's going on?
I have Alan cable right here. I understand you have
dog issues.

Speaker 19 (41:58):
Well yes, it seems like now I've only had this
dog a couple of days. But I recently adopted a
ten month old mini Assie from the local rescue group,
and I also have a four year old assy female.
They're both small. The female is sixteen pounds and this

(42:22):
ten month old male is about twenty pounds, and he
is very aggressive around her with anything. If she picks
up a toy, runs over and takes it away from her,
and they get into scuffles over this. And I've had
to break up a few altercations.

Speaker 3 (42:43):
How do you break it up? That's what do you do.

Speaker 19 (42:44):
I just yell at them. I don't let it escalate
to the point where they're just absolutely you don't tearing
each other apart. But you know, when they start growling
and intensifize and they're you know, kind of in each
other's face, I you know, I just say, hey, hey, hey,

(43:05):
you know, knock it off, and then they kind of stop,
or I stick my hand down and grab whoever. I
haven't actually had to, you know, get any further than
that with him. But if I don't, I feed him
in a crate because he will go after her food.

(43:28):
If I give him a chew treat of any kind. Why,
he's very aggressive. He goes right after hers, even if
he has one.

Speaker 8 (43:36):
Right And you said that the you said that the dog,
the one dog you've had for years, and the and
the other one you just brought home, you've had for
ten months and the other.

Speaker 3 (43:44):
One you just brought home.

Speaker 19 (43:45):
Yes, I haven't had only the ten months old I've
only had a couple of days. The four year old
I've had since she was young.

Speaker 8 (43:52):
Okay, so now the four year old, how well trained
is that dog? I mean, if you told that dog
to go downstay, would she do it?

Speaker 19 (44:01):
Well, she doesn't know a downstate command anymore because I okay,
you know, but she would back off.

Speaker 3 (44:06):
Okay, Well, you know this this dog.

Speaker 8 (44:09):
This is kind of normal when you bring a new
dog home, especially a new dog home, and there's another
dog in the house and you're in the house most
of the time, you know that dog is Basically when
a dog has food aggression like that is saying, hey,
I'm in charge. You know this is my food. Get lost.
That's what the dog is saying. The dog is saying,
I'm the pack leader. I'm the alpha dog, and it's
up to you to become the pack leader in the

(44:31):
alpha dog. And the easiest way to do that in
your situation is to take ownership of the food. Now,
when you feed the dog, how do you do it?
Do you just put the dog food in a bowl
and walk away?

Speaker 19 (44:42):
Well I tried that. It didn't work out too well.
So now what I do is the female the one
I've had I put her food down, I put the
male in the crate, and I put the bowl in
the crate with him.

Speaker 3 (44:57):
That's a good solution. That's a good short term solution.

Speaker 8 (44:59):
But you want to eliminate all the aggressive behaviors and
the quickest way, the best way to do that is
to be the pack leader. And you're going to have
to be patient and persistent. And so what you want
to do is you take your other dog and take
her out of the room. Take take your other dog
out of the room. It's feeding time with the dog
you just brought home. Take ownership of the food. Put

(45:21):
the dog food in the bowl and just stand there
in front of the dog for a couple of seconds.
Do not put it down. Does the new dog know
the sit command? Does she know how to sit well?

Speaker 19 (45:30):
If sometimes if I have food in my hand? He does?
But he hasn't really had any training. I mean, I
think what happened? Does these people? It's not a cute
little puppy anymore, and so they turned it into the
rescue group because he really knows nothing. And do you
have him signed up for a basic obedience class but
it's not for a couple of weeks?

Speaker 8 (45:51):
Do you walk the dogs ever? Do you take them
for walks? I'm going to tell you what they're do
in a second. I'm just curious.

Speaker 19 (45:56):
I've only had them like three days, So okay.

Speaker 8 (46:00):
If you have time, start walking them together. Don't let
them walk in front of you, though, make them walk
at your side. Get a pinch collar and make sure
both dogs have the pinch call so that you can
give corrections. Do you know what a correction is?

Speaker 6 (46:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (46:14):
Okay, all right, So what you're gonna do with your
new dog is you're going to make that dog work
for his food. So when you feed your dog, you're
gonna put the dog into the dish and just stand
there and tell the dog to sit before you put
the food down. And then you're gonna stay there for
a little while with your hand on the dish. When
you have your hand on the dish, you own the food.
You're gonna get the dog used to you being there

(46:35):
while the dog eats, And every now and then keep
a couple of treats or a couple of pieces of
food in your other hand and throw those treats into
the bowl. Does your dog swallow his food? I mean,
does he just scarf it down? The new dog, or
does he eat it slowly? Put some water in there,
put a toy in there too, to slow him down
a little bit. He's scarfing it down because he thinks,
you know, it's a new environment. He might think that

(46:56):
he's never gonna get fed again, so he's scarfing it
down because of that. So you want to take ownership
of the food by being there, keep your hand on
the bowl. And then when the dog gets comfortable with
you being there, you start giving praise.

Speaker 3 (47:10):
Just a good dog, good dog, and give her a
pet every now and then.

Speaker 8 (47:14):
Always make her do something though before you feed her,
hold the food and make her sit before you put
the food down. And then every now and then, after
about a week or two, take the food away. Okay,
after you do that for about two weeks, three weeks,
however long it takes, so that dog is very comfortable
with you there and is no longer being possessive of
the food. You're gonna start bringing the other dog around

(47:35):
slowly on a leash, and you're gonna start by putting
the other dog in the down position when you feed
your dog. When you feed your dog, you go to
bring the other dog there and put the dog in
the down position about six seven feet away, or even
in the crate if that's easier for you, or even
if you have somebody to help you hold the other dog,
and you're gonna slowly, over days, move the other dog

(47:58):
closer to your dog, the one with the aggression problem eating,
and you're gonna see that pretty soon. In a month
or two, the dog is going to realize that the
other dog is no threat, that you're the pack leader,
and become very very comfortable eating around that other dog.
But if she does exhibit aggression, take her food away.
That's how you give her a correction.

Speaker 3 (48:19):
Take her food right away, okay.

Speaker 19 (48:21):
And then I think he's also suffering from a little
bit of separation anxiety because he just follows me everywhere.
When I let him out the door to go outside,
he wants to come right back in again if I
don't stand there and be outside with him.

Speaker 3 (48:36):
Is that the young dog now?

Speaker 4 (48:38):
Yes?

Speaker 19 (48:38):
And I've had to create him when I leave the
house because I tried having him in the kitchen. He
was up on the kitchen table, he was into the
recycled bin.

Speaker 3 (48:47):
I mean again again, this is all who's the pack leader?

Speaker 5 (48:50):
Okay?

Speaker 8 (48:51):
Because a dog. A dog would never let you leave
the house. And when a dog is in charge, they
don't let you lead, they don't let you leave. So
you're going to Everything you do has to be based
on you being the leader, you being in charge. When
you leave the house, put the dog in a crate,
do not talk to the dog, pay no attention to
the dog.

Speaker 5 (49:08):
Just leave.

Speaker 3 (49:08):
When you come home, do not talk to the dog.

Speaker 8 (49:11):
Pay no attention to the dog for about twenty minutes.
Then let her out of her crate, take her outside,
don't talk. Let her go to the bathroom. Good dog.
When she goes to the bathroom, be very calm, make
it very uneventful your comings and goings.

Speaker 19 (49:25):
Okay that you know, hopefully we can work this out
because she's a sweet little guy. I mean, I'd like
to be able to keep him, but you can.

Speaker 8 (49:34):
You just have to remember you can keep him. You
just have to remember you have to be in charge.
You have to be the pack leader. Use positive reinforcement
and corrections. When the dog is doing what you want,
you give positive reinforcement and affection, which means if the
dog is laying there calm, that's the time to say
good dog, and give the dog a pet.

Speaker 3 (49:53):
When the dog is wound up acting.

Speaker 8 (49:54):
Like a fool, you give a correction, snap her out
of it, get her mind on something else, okay, and
start walking them together regularly so that they understand you're
the pack leader and they're part of a pack.

Speaker 19 (50:07):
I see okay, okay. And let neither one of them
get in front of me.

Speaker 8 (50:11):
Absolutely not. They walk the right one on either side
or behind you is fine. Never in front of you.
I never let them. Never let them enter the house
before you either. You go in first, okay, Same.

Speaker 1 (50:24):
With your husband. Go in first. Make sure you're Beth.

Dogs or cats of course are in you animaleople to.
Cleaning out the fish tank is a pretty bad job anyway,
but it was a lot worse for veterinarian Kevin Friel's
While doing some routine maintenance on his saltwater tank, Friels
was attacked by Lily the Lionfish, who jabbed him with

(51:15):
six of her venomous spines. He started having seizures and
called his girlfriend, who said she only heard screaming on
her end of the line. She quickly called nine one one,
and it took eight paramedics to hold Friels on the stretcher.
Doctors say he could have died in an hour because
Lily's venom was paralyzing his heart. Although Friels will improve

(51:36):
in a couple weeks, he's not taking any chances. He's
selling Lily the Lionfish, but she'll come with a stern warning.

You're listening to Animal Radio. Here's Alan Judy.

Speaker 1 (52:35):
Hey, Jody, Oh hi, welcome to the show.

Speaker 9 (52:37):
Oh thank you for taking my calls.

Speaker 1 (52:39):
What's going on?

Speaker 5 (52:40):
Well?

Speaker 19 (52:41):
I have a two year.

Speaker 9 (52:43):
Old cat which has primus had the house to herself
with everything. She's an indoor cat, and we just recently
got two kittens, and now she has not gone Disney's
er litter box. And she choose the hair on the
back for a neck until it leads. It really kind
of raw, and I don't know what to do. I

(53:04):
don't know if I should give up the kittens or
if there's something else I could try.

Speaker 10 (53:10):
How long have the kittens been in the home.

Speaker 9 (53:13):
See, they have been here at least two months?

Speaker 10 (53:16):
Two months? Okay, Yeah, And then how do they relate?
Do they interact at all with her?

Speaker 9 (53:21):
One of them doesn't? Any other one actually goes and
plays a little bit with her, you know, kind of
chases her around and stuff like that. And there's plenty
of toys, and there's.

Speaker 10 (53:30):
A cat tree and okay, and you said she's chewing
her fur out and she's not using the box. Is
that correct?

Speaker 6 (53:36):
Yes?

Speaker 9 (53:37):
Uh huh. She used to use the little box before
and she wasn't you know, she was flying before and
now all of a sudden, No, she doesn't want to
use her little box.

Speaker 10 (53:45):
And is that for both pean and the poop and
jobs or one or the other?

Speaker 19 (53:48):
Yeah, for about both, okay.

Speaker 10 (53:50):
And then tell me about when you got these kittens.
Did you just kind of have them in the same home?
Were they separated at all?

Speaker 9 (53:58):
No, they were the same their cousins, okay.

Speaker 10 (54:01):
And how many letter boxes we got in this house?
Three letter boxes okay. And as far as in anything
else with your kitty cat that I need to know
about any other health problems along the way, anything else
skin related before your other kittens scheme into the home.

Speaker 9 (54:17):
Well, you know, whenever there's something stresses are out, she
does tend to pull her for out. And so we
changed the cat food because they said she's allergic to corn.
So I changed it and she seemed to be fine.

Speaker 10 (54:32):
Okay, you got over that problem and now it's worse.

Speaker 1 (54:35):
Yeah, okay.

Speaker 10 (54:36):
Well, and that's kind of what I was suspecting, as
you describe it. So there are some cats that can
have a psychogenic alopecia basically they overgroomed themselves out of
their own anxiety. That's not generally a case where food
controls it. So that's where there's probably some degree of
either food allergy or other types of allergies for your

(54:57):
kitty that we can medically control. So I'd want to
make sure that you get that tackled and maybe get
her checked out with a vet to make sure we're
on the right road physically with her health psychologically. If
we add new kittens or new cats to the home,
the best way to do that is to gradually introduce
a new cat or cats into the home. So, if

(55:18):
I could rewind your situation, my recommendations at the get
go would have been to keep your kitty to have
free run of her house and then add these kittens
into a separate room where they can kind of start
to get used to the smell of your cat under
the door, and it's kind of just getting used to
the sites the sounds without really having a lot of
physical stress, physical altercations, or have to compete for resources

(55:42):
like the litter box, the food, or for your affection
that would be ideal, and you can still do that.
We can take a step back, separate the kittens, give
her the space that she needs to kind of reset
and to calm herself, and I do that for at
least a week really to kind of let her reset,
and in that time, we want to kind of return
to what we could do to motivate her to like

(56:04):
these cats in the presence of the cats, So I'd
add in a scent hormone, a pheromone like feel away,
add that in by a diffuser in the home. I
would make sure we start feeding the cats on a
certain time schedule, and we want to feed them on
opposing sides of the separation. So if it's a door
or if it's a screen door, what have you. We

(56:25):
want the food not to always be available, but to
be available only when she is around these other cats.
And that is her reward for just tolerating the mere
presence of those kittens. That's really kind of the way
to look at it. And we want to make sure
she learns that all good things happen when these kittens
are around, and that kind of works psychologically to make

(56:47):
her feel more comfort less anxiety with the presence of
these babies, and then we work up to kind of
gradually working them back into the environment into the home.
And then sometimes even for kittens, if these guys are
little and we've got to an adult in the home,
I will put a collar and bell on the kittens
because that kind of gives the adult cat a little
fair warning that the little whipper snappers are coming around,

(57:10):
and then she can retreat, she can go elsewhere, and
if she doesn't feel like intervening and can physically meeting
up with the kitten, then she can do her own
thing and kind of retreat if you will. But I
think those are some of the things. And then environmentally,
you mentioned three litter pans. I love that. I want
to make sure those litter pans are spread across the

(57:30):
house that we don't have covers on them.

Speaker 9 (57:33):
Yea different, okay, so spread so one in one room
and one another and.

Speaker 10 (57:39):
Exactly yeah, So if you put all three litter pans
in one room, it can be a territorial thing. So
if it's more trouble to walk down this hallway that
I'm going to get ambushed by this kitten, I may
not want to go to that litter pan. So we
want to make sure they're strategically in different areas. So
if you have a two story home, I have some
upstairs and downstairs. You can't really take that away from them.
They got to have that outlet. And then make sure

(58:00):
that the little pans are uncovered. Make sure that you
know we we've got plenty of perching sites, so you
have a cat tree. I'd also look for other ways
that we can give her some special places to get away,
whether there are little cat hammocks for the windows, or
another tree, or or have some even some nice big
boxes that you can let her kind of climb and
get into. Those are good for physical and mental security.

(58:23):
It kind of gives them a place to hide.

Speaker 9 (58:25):
So alicia place outside, like making an outdoor place where
she can't actually get outside, but it's outside.

Speaker 10 (58:33):
Yeah, that can be great environmentally as well, so she
can have something else to focus on. Now, it could
be a position where that might be a little sensory
overload if you have, especially if you have other kiddies
outdoors in the area. If you don't, then it might
be fun for her to watch the birds, to have
things to watch. But if you have a lot of
stray cats or cats in the neighborhood that could actually
amp up her anxiety more. Okay, yeah, so well hopefully

(58:58):
that can help. And you know, if she is a
excessive groomer and she has a certain degree of anxiety.
There are some of these kiddies that I do put
on behavior medications and it can really help them cope.
But by itself, medication will fail, so you really have
to do these other physical environmental changes as well. All right, well,
hope that's of some help for you.

Speaker 1 (59:16):
We appreciate your call. Good luck with those little fur balls.

Speaker 12 (59:19):
Yes, you're listening to Animal Radio call the dream Team

Speaker 22 (01:00:14):
This is an Animal Radio news update.

Speaker 2 (01:00:16):
I'm Stacey Cohen for Animal Radio. There's a new study
at Washington State University that's looking at how shelter dogs
can help teens that are struggling with drug and alcohol dependency.
Lindsay Ellsworth, she's a doctoral candidate and Animal sciences at WSU,
said I was surprised during the trial period how calm
the boys were around the dogs and how outbursts and
hyperactivity diminished. The researchers are hoping the success of the

(01:00:40):
program can be implemented in other team behavioral therapy programs
across the country and be a win win for teens
and shelter dogs alike. Any sort of activity that provides
an opportunity for shelter dogs to socialize with humans and
other dogs outside of the kennel environment is great, and
she said that's the value that these shelters see in
these dog interacts activities too.

Speaker 17 (01:01:01):
Hello, I love you won't tell.

Speaker 2 (01:01:05):
An extinct lizard that lived forty million years ago has
been named for the late lead singer of the Doors.
Scientists named the six foot long lizard Barbatrex MORRISONI. Jim
Morrison referred to himself as the Lizard King, and scientists
decided to pin his name on a creature that was
much bigger than other reptiles, in other words, a lizard king.

(01:01:25):
They say it was the biggest plant eating lizard that
ever lived. Jim Morrison died in nineteen seventy one at
the age of twenty seven. Well Chanell designer Carl Lagerfield
says that he'd marry his cat if it was legal.
Laggerfield recently announced he's fallen love with his pampered feed
line shoe Pette. You know, he kind of reminds me

(01:01:46):
of Pee Wee Herman. Remember he used to say, if
y'all love it so much Marriott, I love.

Speaker 20 (01:01:51):
Her salt all right, then I will.

Speaker 2 (01:01:56):
In the past, he's been known to buyer an iPad
and a silk pillow to sleep on. However, this is
the first time he said he would even wed the
white pedigree kiddy. In an interview on CNN, he said
he'd never thought he'd fall in love like this with
a cat.

not you know, it's not about the manhood or anything
like that. It's just a great party. And the dog
is Jewish. You have Jewish owners.

Speaker 1 (01:07:33):
Do you have to wait till the dog is thirteen
years old? How does that work?

Speaker 25 (01:07:38):
It would be two years old in in animal and
human life, so it would be thirteen. So at two
years old, do you get a bark mit stack?

Speaker 1 (01:07:46):
Okay, I see how that works.

Speaker 5 (01:07:47):
I want to know someone on a Jewish dog. They
don't have to, you know, do a circumcision.

Speaker 25 (01:07:51):
Now when I when I drew the dog, I just
go I thought a boom boom.

Speaker 10 (01:08:00):
So now you don't limit yourself to just cats and dogs.

Speaker 7 (01:08:03):
You also taken two lobsters out on a dating service.

Speaker 25 (01:08:07):
Like I said, I have a romantic dating service, the
only service in the world nobody else does this?

Speaker 3 (01:08:13):
What'd you do with two lobsters?

Speaker 25 (01:08:15):
They actually went out for a lobster?

Speaker 13 (01:08:19):
I really good.

Speaker 25 (01:08:19):
I took them out, and then I took out two
penguins from sea World, and I married them with a
wedding certificate. I married Sally Jesse Rafiel's dogs. I mean horses.

Speaker 1 (01:08:33):
You didn't marry actually yourself? You you actually married the animals?

Speaker 19 (01:08:37):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:08:40):
Confusing? No, No, I'm the preacher.

Speaker 25 (01:08:43):
I'm a rabbi.

Speaker 1 (01:08:44):
Okay, now I see you. You chef for own romantic dates?
What goes on on these dates? That makes them romantic?

Speaker 25 (01:08:50):
I take them on romantic dates. That's why I sell them.
I would chuck winery.

Speaker 3 (01:08:55):
Now, what's a romantic date for a lobster? What do
they enjoy? Taking the rubber bands off the claw and
let them have at it. What goes on here?

Speaker 9 (01:09:02):
Oh?

Speaker 18 (01:09:03):
My good?

Speaker 25 (01:09:04):
Just like pulling them close together and learn new together.
That's that's still romance.

Speaker 1 (01:09:11):
There you go, Well it sounds one. Now, how can
somebody get in touch with you just in case they
want you to like perform a bark mitzvah or take
their dogs out for a date or something like that.
Just entertain your pets.

Speaker 25 (01:09:22):
They would like to do a bark pets of what
they have to do is they can go to my
website Lee Day Pet Entertainer dot com or they can
follow me on Twitter under Dougie Day. Doogie Day was
my singing partner.

Speaker 1 (01:09:36):
Well, I think in the well, all the thirty years
that I've been doing this, has it been thirty years,
forty years, fifty years? I have not at all once
met a pet entertainer, So this is cool to finally
meet you. Lee Day, Thanks for spending time with us today.

Speaker 25 (01:09:50):
Thank you so much, and I thank you all for
caring for the animals.

Speaker 13 (01:10:04):
Vinnie Penn your resident party animal on Animal Radio. I
just want to give a tip out there to those
of you who are going through the unfortunate task of
trying to recover a lost animal, a dog or a cat.
I saw a flyer in my neighborhood recently. I always
check out. The flyer says everyone should, and a flyer

(01:10:25):
is a great way to go. But some people who
are missing a pet really have the wrong idea when
it comes as to what to put to the flyer.
This flyer said something like, please return Pooci to our house.
We miss him so much, and Poocie loves watching Survivor
with us every Thursday night. Well, am I supposed to

(01:10:46):
go home and dress up like Jeff Probes now and
walk up and down the street and hope that Poochie
sees me? How is our knowing what Poochie's favorite television
show is going to help us find your dog? Be
a little smarter when it comes to the Flyers, people,
any bad party, Animal Animal Radio.

Now back to the Animal radio.

Speaker 7 (01:12:26):
Say he said, were all across the USA, the most
listened to Ted show today, Animal radio.

Speaker 10 (01:12:36):
Everywhere you go, Animal radio, Animal radio.

Speaker 1 (01:12:47):
And we go to Sue, Hi, Sue, how are.

Speaker 19 (01:12:50):
You doing okay? How about yourself?

Speaker 1 (01:12:52):
Splendid? What can we do for you? I have doctor
Debbie right here.

Speaker 6 (01:12:55):
My dog was diagnosed the staff spring with mass sell tumor,
which was removed on April tent and that was able
to get clean margins all.

Speaker 11 (01:13:07):
The way around.

Speaker 6 (01:13:08):
And people are on a high dosage of benadryl for
ninety days. And I had investigated online and there was
some pill that or I guess there's a form of chemotherapy,
which I didn't want to do because my dog is happy,
pretty much healthy, active for a nine year old border collie.

(01:13:30):
But I was wondering if there was anything else I
can do besides just watching to see if this comes
back in the way of nutrients. I mean, I mixed
broccoli in with their food, and they do get supplements
along with a high quality food.

Speaker 10 (01:13:44):
Now you said this is a stage two man cell tumor.
What location was it?

Speaker 6 (01:13:49):
The upper part of her leg where it attaches to
kind of the body on the inside of the right
front leg.

Speaker 10 (01:13:56):
Okay, alrighty, So I guess the bottom line when we
talk about mass cell tumors. The first thing is that
for those that don't know, mass cells are inflammatory cells
that are present in dogs tissues, and when we develop
a tumorous growth of these, they can be very unpredictable.
And there's different ways we classify mass cell tumors. So

(01:14:16):
Grade one is the best one to have. It's the
most benign, so once you remove it and it's completely removed,
usually in a good, good position. Grade threes are by
far more serious. They can metastasize in about twenty five
percent of the cases, may require chemotherapy, radiation, therapy, follow
up surgeries, all of that. So a Grade two falls
smack deb in the middle, and that's the problem. We

(01:14:37):
don't know, and we can't predict how each individual PETS
tumor is going to necessarily behave. So there are some
things that we look at as far as one thing
to ask your veterinarian is things like the mitotic index,
which tells us a little bit about the cells and
how they were described on the biopsy report. So if
I have a mascile turner that.

Speaker 6 (01:14:58):
Didn't look like they were active, I don't think she
had a whole lot of concern. But this is my
best buddy here, and I just want to make sure
that you know I continue doing the best I can
for her on that and I'm following my best instructions
and just keep putting an.

Speaker 11 (01:15:17):
Eye on her.

Speaker 6 (01:15:18):
But I don't know what these tumors look like when
they first start.

Speaker 10 (01:15:22):
Well, I'm going to go back to the grade two's
and how sometimes this can be really confusing because there
isn't an absolute answer and what we need to do
to prevent these. There's not always a lot of clear
answers on this, so a lot of people we just
kind of throw out all the options of whether we
pursue chemotherapy, the drug you may have been thinking about
or you read about was one called palladia, which is

(01:15:45):
a type of inhibitor for mass cell tumors to help
with the metastasis that they can have or with the
more aggressive forms of it. So there's a lot of
arsenal things in our arsenal we don't always pull them
out for a grade two because if it's a mitotic
index and we feel comfortable about where it was located
and how well it was removed, we may just sit

(01:16:05):
back and say monitoring, checking lymph nodes and regular vet
checks may be the best way to go there. So
you did ask about what other things like nutrition and
supplements and so forth, and you know, this is a
tough area because there's not a lot of absolute studies.
There are some general recommendations that some folks that are
that dabble in holistic veterinary medicine will advise, and in

(01:16:29):
those I'll be honest, I don't particularly use a lot
of the alternative therapies, but I do know that the flavonoids,
the different plant extracts, the t extracts, those type of
things are used, as well as things like vitamin C,
high doses of fatty acids, and even things like the
the turmeric the spice. There's an extract that they'll use

(01:16:51):
for in the hopes of decreasing inflammation related to mass
cell tumors and hopefully to help prevent their progression. But
I'll be hones. You know, it's one of those things
that will it help maybe, but how are we going
to prove that? I don't know. So you might check
with your veterinarian if they have an herbalist or holistic veterinarian.
If you want to dabble into that. You know, I'd

(01:17:12):
say that we need a little bit more direction in
that avenue. But for me, I can tell you one
of my babies had a mass cule tumor. And that's
the scariest thing is you have to watch and you
have to be very vigilant. What we watch for is
really any skin growth is suspect. Mass cele tumors are
the great impersonators. They can look like a mole. But
there are many dogs that have mascile tumors that are

(01:17:33):
undiagnosed because the pet parent says, oh, he's had it
for years, it's nothing. It hasn't grown a lot. And
that is the great mystery with the mascile tumors. Why
some of them are so quiet and sit there, and
then some can be very aggressive. So really, for me,
i'd say for you, I would recommend any skin lump
or bump, the best thing is to have a needle biopsy,

(01:17:54):
a quick impatient test done and they can look at
that and see if there's any suspect of masshole tumor
jump on that.

Speaker 25 (01:18:00):
I appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (01:18:01):
Thank you, Okay, good luck with that, Sue. We appreciate
your call today. Well, I guess that's all the time
