Guest: Jennifer Conrad, D.V.M. joins Deborah to talk about her L.A. animal practice, overseeing animals in movies and most of all her passion, www.pawproject.org, to end declawing which she explains is amputation of the knuckle not just the claw.  Declawed cats are in constant pain and more often than not end up homeless anyhow with very few options.  Deborah and Jennifer talk about tips for training cats  to scratch cat-posts instead of furniture.  Deborah asks this Vet her opinion on the very controversial legislation the Veterinary Medical Association of New Brunswick has passed making it impossible for Vets in that Province to perform elective surgeries such as cat declawing, tail docking and ear cropping.  Deborah gives you animal jokes, trivia, news bits and begins the show with an update on swine flu, and how pigs are suffering in Egypt.  Another Rescue dog pays back his new owners and saves their daughter more than once!

Plus of course you get some homework to test  your animals to see if they are smart.
