  • In this episode, we dive into a fascinating topic that many cat owners may overlook, but it is a topic that is an incredibly important part of our feline friends... their tails. We explore how our cats use their tails physiologically, as well as how they communicate with us and other animals through their particular tail movements. We also discuss how misinterpreting these signals can actually impact the bond between you and your cat.

  • In this episode, we have a wonderful chat with Kim Lengling. Author of Paw Prints on the Couch, book one of a beautiful anthology series all about pets and how they enrich our lives.

    As a veteran who lives with PTSD, she shares how her rescue dogs have helped her along her, at times, bumpy road mentally, which includes anxiety, depression, and sleepless nights.

    Adopting a dog, or any animal, from a shelter is not only saving a precious soul but helping to soothe your own as well, and why adopting and not shopping is to her, the only way to find the perfect companion.

    We can all be Nuggets of Hope in our small slice of the world. Adopting a pet is one way.

    Paw Prints on The Couch was a No. 1 Top New Release on Amazon for the first few months after release.

  • Have you ever seen a service dog with its handler and wished you could take your dog everywhere with you too? Seems like a wonderful idea for all you dog lovers out there, right? Well... there is a difference between desiring to have your dog with you at all times and legitimately needing your service dog to help you with serious health issues, mobility issues, & navigating society with mental health conditions. Those dogs you see... They are highly trained and are providing a very specialized and incredibly important service. Or are they?

    In this episode, we tackle the prevalent and very controversial problem with Fake Service Dogs. We discuss the uprising of scammers, grifters, and people who selfishly try to work "the system" for their own benefit, at the expense of those who legitimately need the help and support of these specialized dogs.

    We also dive into the legalities and laws (or lack thereof) that have been put in place to try to protect legitimate handlers and their service dogs.
