Olympic animals keep us safe from avalanches and much more and good thing too since there was an avalanche in nearby mountains. All Olympians are blogging happy thoughts. The only upset media still seems to be London and look out UK because you are the next host and it just isn’t that easy. Vancouver has done a wonderful job to make visitors, dignitaries, athletes and even outspoken critics like Stephen Colbert feel at home. Check out his shows for a look at us and the Vancouver Scene because he filmed a few shows here live at False Creek which is near beautiful Granville Island; check out the artists blowing glass, making beads and crafts while you shop the market or just catch the jugglers and singers performing outside. Or leave town and head to Mission where you can catch (and tag and release) the biggest fish in the world; the sturgeon and be doing a good thing taking part in our conservation efforts. While you’re there pull off Lougheed highway to see more eagles than you can imagine or take a day trip for a spa spoiling at Harrison Hot Springs less than an hour from Vancouver and half an hour from Mission/Maple Ridge. There was a protest at the Olympics launched by Native Chiefs against Norway regarding salmon and in general to highlight the Spirit bear and the trophy hunting conflict. Deborah explains the messages behind the protest and also comments on the anti-pet dog protest at Westminster the same weekend Deborah Wolfe received the BEST PET RADIO IN AMERICA award for this show ANIMAL MAGNET-PET RADIO on PRN, in the category of Live Guest interviews for a show we titled ‘DOG TALK’ with Author and show dog expert, Darlene Arden. (Don’t worry cat people there is cat content too including how to train a cat to come, sit and jump through objects).

Thank you to Progressive Radio Network for creating the opportunity for award winning pet expert interviews. Half way through the show, Laura Cook from www.zeroallergies.com joins Deborah to explain how she can eliminate allergies for you in four treatments with no needles. You bring samples of what you react to like bags of cat hair or pollen and she flips your bodies frequencies so your body recognizes those things and no longer reacts to them. If you have an allergy that keeps you indoors or away from pets or you have people in your family who avoid you or your home because of your pets, then this is a must for you. In fact sometimes we have other health problems we don’t even realize are allergy related and after the treatments obvious symptoms like stuffy nose, watery eyes, itchy skin clear up but so do harder to peg issues like digestive problems, constipation, pains, arthritis, and fatigue. Check out the website to be referred to a practitioner near you.

Deborah Wolfe explains how dogs are keeping it safe at the Olympic Games 2010 in Vancouver; from the airport to the alpine and all roads inbetween working dogs are on the job. If animals and people competed together, humans would lose in all events and Deborah tells you which animals are stronger, jump higher and further. Did you know that the cheetah running is not only faster than the fastest man running but also faster than the fastest speedskater? Lucky for that Vancouver Island Granny, the mountain lion who visited her home was in a hurry to get out! Are you wondering what its like to be at the Olympics? The crowds are friendly, and happy, the weather is warm and mild and there is family friendly fun every where from jugglers, musicians, free exhibits, and games. The police presence is huge and uniformed in both police dress and rcmp plus undercover police too. You can’t turn around looking for a sign without a uniformed volunteer asking if you need any help, and every person you encounter from security to guest services are all friendly and social and hyped for the games, giving out free pins and mugging for photos with kids. Protests have been in the news but the real protest message is being lost so listen here to find out what the authentic anti-poverty protesters want and what the First Nations chiefs want specifically from Norway. The hype about traffic must have worked because transit is successfully busier than ever and parking and driving is just simple. Deborah takes you through some of her Olympic highlights including holding the torch and watching Women’s hockey. Check out Deborah Wolfe’s blogs on www.redroom.com for more Olympic coverage.

Deborah Wolfe, just back from a trip to Southwestern Florida, tells you about the Olympic sized welcoming that goes with arriving in Vancouver these days. If you are in town for the Games Deborah will tell you where to drive to see 18 eagles in a tree- Did you know juvenile eagles have spotted feathers? If native art is your thing she’ll tell you the museums to check out, the galleries to look at and if you read her redroom blog you’ll learn where you can see artists making both native masks and dugout canoes next to an ancient suspension bridge high above a gorge with rapids and waterfalls, and in a different spot where heels instead of hiking boots will do the trick, you can check out the most amazing glass works and beads plus more. Let Deborah take you by boat right from down town to check out some of the best spots in Vancouver and you can take that boat with the simple price of bus fair, its called the sea bus because it is the cutest little commuter boat you can imagine. If you’re far away be sure to tune into these games because the backdrops will be spectacular. Expect to see beauty from mountains to seascapes and combinations of the two along with the tallest trees the world has and the deep green quiet they command. It is sunny and warm in Vancouver right now (50 degrees) but the mountains have snow! Deborah gives you a hands on snow tip for those in D.C. with dogs whose fur gets bogged down with snow balls. How does skiing in Whistler compare to the ‘mountains’ or hills in Ontario? Deborah explains. The whole world is celebrating and dressing in their country colors making this a very exciting place. Did you know the torch was carried by dog sled on its run through Canada? Man and dog have been partners for a long time and Canada’s northern Native peoples knew that well. Never hire a human for a dog job Deborah explains with airports, cadavers, and getting the medicine there on time. Go to redroom.com to see Deborah Wolfe’s ongoing Olympic blogs and hear about the animals and nature you are seeing as the athletes make their mark in 2010.

What it is like to be pooped on by a rattle snake and how life brought her both a standard poodle and a red heeler. Stephanie explains some of the p.h.d. reasons for the difference between the way men and women interact with dogs in response to the question; who make better dog trainers- men or women?

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!
