Deborah Wolfe begins the show with some details about a real live meeting and training session with the beagle described last week in the week before in email questions. The dog was reported to be defiantly, stubbornly stealing and barking. He was stealing and barking but he’s doing it for completely different reasons- fear. The Olympics are not going to be smoke free and you won’t see women’s ski jumping and now…. The massive highways were enlarged for Olympic capacity with poor consideration for wildlife like endangered frogs, bears, deer. Are dog parks safe? Deborah gives you tips on how to stand, walk and where to hang out at the dog park to be most safe. Think you know a human diva? Guess how much time each day on average cats spend self grooming? Toward the end of the show Author and Dog show expert Darlene Arden joins Deborah to talk about a couple of her most embarrassing and trying moments with dogs. She’ll be back again in a month for more fun chat. On a future show we will have Tim Link as our guest reading your pets; you must send a photo of your dog or cat looking full on to camera, eyes visible and well lit along with a question. Please subject head the email TIM LINK READING and send it to deborah@campgooddog.com

Guest: Dusty Rainbolt, Author of ‘Cat Wrangling Made Easy’ & ‘ GHOST CATS’
Deborah begins the show with a controversial comment on Michael Vick and seeing him on television while the dogs he tortured are still recovering and the people he inspired are still ‘copy-cat’ –ing his example of dog fighting ; the internet now shows brutal dog kills by other dogs as entertainment. Why is hockey better than football? Deborah believes Michael Vick would be on the injured list permanently if he played hockey. Deborah shares Halloween tips to keep your cats and dogs safe and happy plus good costume ideas too then answers an email about an American bull dog who is becoming afraid of water & boats and also has an infantile habit of nursing or suckling his dog bed at the front door of their Fishing lodge where guests notice. Dusty joins the show and helps a listener solve a cat problem she’s got with her neighbor’s cats marking her door with urine and spray and causing her own cats to freak out inside. Dusty explains how you can deter outside cats and if that fails, she tells you how to use cat love pheromones instead. Then the show takes a walk on the wild side exploring some of the stories in ‘Ghost Cats’ and Dusty’s own cat ghost story plus some dog ghost stories Deborah has collected. Have you ever felt like your old dog was watching you, or sitting in the back of your car? Maybe you heard his chain collar jingle or heard him slurp his water or bark in the next room? Or perhaps your cat climbed into bed with you days after it died? You aren’t alone. Dusty explains how to look for ghost pets and how to collect evidence plus her book lists some public places like museums and hotels where you can expect to encounter ghost pets. One of the stories involves a kid who could not have described the cat unless he saw the cat ghost, another has a strange walk through time in the form of a painting and a ghost, and many have different people reporting similar stories. Dusty points out that pet ghosts come back in a friendly way and that owners are not afraid of their pet ghosts. If you think you might have encountered a pet ghost or you wish you could, listen to this spooky Halloween show. The music for the show was diligently found by Frank our producer who hunted down this song which truly haunts pet lovers like myself; ‘Ghost of a Dog’ by Edie Brickell.

Deborah gives you your fix of world pet news and some monster-coyote information. A letter from the Vet to those clients who just don’t respect clinic etiquette and the rest of us who appreciate the show. Do pets like Britney or Bach? Pet jokes, and comment on the latest attempts to slander and ban pit bulls. Lisa Peterson joins Deborah to talk about the AKC and how its changed in the 125 years to what it is today. She gives fire safety tips, and explains microchipping plus she takes us through some of the most fun dog events that are now open to mutts and non-breeding ‘fixed’ dogs too. Ever want to let your dog run a race, or show off his listening skills? Check out www.akc.org for more info on that and every thing a dog owner could want to find from what toys are toxic to what dog to pick. Lisa logs in on the breed ban issue and explains how the Canine Good Citizen test and standard is part of the solution. Even if you have a breed that in banned by insurance, you may get your particular dog exempt if he passes this test which is approved in 40 states and can act as that ‘benefit of the doubt’ for your dog should something go wrong. Deborah explains it’s a fun and easy way to structure your training so you teach your dog to be able to handle all life can throw at him from objects dropping nearby when he’s tied up to strangers passing close and fast. Look for training programs that offer the CGC program and you’ll have a dog you can take to the off leash park and walk politely on busy streets or tie up outside starbucks for that well deserved latte and people watching break. Social dogs like crowd watching (sniffing) too!
