This cancer research not only benefits the dogs but also humans in way you can’t imagine. Jeff discusses the winter cleanup happening in backyards everywhere due to the warm weather we have had. News and announcements. Cat falls 19 stories…out a window…that was opened to let in some fresh air…”DO I EVEN NEED TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THIS?” Jeff exclaims listen in!

(Butch is coming along fine by the way so he doesn’t need this yet!) It’s an important issue that we will all need to tackle sooner or later.

News and Announcements – “Pink Slime” Mmmm, Mmmmm doesn’t that sound good!?! If they are putting this stuff in our ground beef can you even begin to imagine what they are putting in our pet’s foods? Well, Jeff used to be a Butcher’s assistant as an after school job when not playing sports while in high school and knows what this is…it’s not as bad as they are making it sound IF it is being prepared correctly.
