Meanwhile... Back at the Ranch... Episode 13 - Part 2 (Audio) Tonight's podcast is a continuation from last week where we discussed all of the crazy nicknames our dogs have but the podcast led into the topic of catching lost dogs. It truly is a very complicated thing to catch a lost dog. So many variables come into play, the dogs behavior, the location, how long its been lost, etc etc.. We discuss...

Meanwhile... Back at the Ranch... Episode 13 - Part 1 This is one of those family podcasts where its just silly conversation about our dogs, nicknames, and voices that we have made up for them. We know we aren't the only crazy ones, come on along and then share with us the nicknames and silly stories you have about your dogs.

This episode has Laura Galloway hanging out with us and we wanted to devote some time to discuss the "valley" You've heard us discuss it many times and we hope the information here helps you get a better understanding of the area and the plight of the dogs who are down there.

Are you afraid of ghosts? Laura is with us again and she tells us all about her ghost experience at Renee's mom's house. It's hilarious!

Fire!!!! Did you know Travis is a closet "fire bug"? Listen to us fight about how to pronounce Bois D'arc trees. What kind of animals have we had in our childhood, and a whole host of animal stories.

Renee and Jessica sit down to discuss euthanasia. How do we know when it is time? We site some examples of dogs in our lives and situations we have dealt with. Everyone's situation is different and you need to be able to ask yourself some questions that can help you decide when it is time. 

Let's talk about pet stores and selling puppies. Jessica spoke at a city council meeting here locally to highlight the horrors of life for the parents of dogs sold in pet stores which come from puppy mills. We discuss how this works for the mill owner, brokers, and the pet store and talk about a dog we rescued (Tribble) from a pet store and the conditions he was dealing with. 

This week Travis and Renee sit down to discuss aggressive behavior in dogs. There isn't a one size fits all to this description and dogs display behavior for different reasons and with different intents. Travis and Renee break down what this looks like and what to do with a few examples from their own lives.

Welcome Laura as our special guest this week to talk about the beginnings of the rescue. How did we come to start the rescue and how did Laura come into this?

Let's talk about dog behavior! In addition to recapping the week with Bea and her back injury, this week we will cover some common problems and try to explain what is happening, why, and how to correct these issues.
