Deborah explains how you can do this for your pets expenses and save some money on taxes.

    Animal Party Episode 181 Cats, Dogs, Wolves & Cars
    Apr 18 2024
    How to pick the right trainer for your dog; the questions to ask. Cat comedy plus an email question about how to stop a cat from paw kneading the owner at bedtime. Deborah explains why black cats & dogs make great pets. Deborah asks her listeners (97k plus per show) what type of car/ SUV is best for taking 4-8 dogs to dog parks, beaches and wild forest adventures. A vehicle that is good on gas, cleans up easily, isn’t too low to the ground for snow and rough roads and most importantly it must be easy for all dogs to enter and exit. Please send Deb your suggestions. Be alert and protect your pets from wolves and coyotes especially in Powell River, B.C. where wolves have mated with dogs to produce a wolf pack that is not afraid of coming close to houses to kill pets.

Will the Xl Bullie ban in England bring good results? Can a pug learn and remember? There certainly are many bored medicated couch-potato working dogs, but is your dog an over worked over stimulated border collie or Aus. Shep? Like a kid with too many lessons after school?
