#21 Stephanie Rousseau - Office Dogs: The Manual

09/23/20 • 112 min

Slap us with a Spaniel Tail we are back for another review episode Bookshelvers!
This week it is the awesome "Office Dogs: The Manual" by Stephanie Rousseau. We caught up with Stephanie for chats and giggles way back in July just before our summer break to go through this small but, absolutely, perfectly put together little gem of a book.
This is also the first episode recorded in Nat's "woofice" whoop whoop so please excuse the interruptions caused by a plethora of birds loitering outside the window. Dogs, japes, tomfoolery and love! BOOM!

#22 Off The Shelf Episode 6. Jordan Shelley

Hark Bookshelvers!
It is time to sing like a Samoyed and chuckle like a Chihuahua as it's Off The Shelf time again!
Back just in time for a drastic weather change in the UK Corrin, Nat & Steve get to catch up with their old buddy and all round 'top dude' Jordan Shelley! Jordan is a Dog trainer and behaviour specialist - Animal welfare campaigner - Presenter, producer and writer as well as all that great stuff we all used to chew the proverbials on the "Barking Mad Show" back in the day so it was lovely to catch up and see what Jordan has been up to in his, always interesting, life.
It turns out that amongst other things Jordan has set up a very important petition to Ban the importation of dogs with cropped ears (a worthy cause indeed). In Jordans words: "There appears to be an alarming rise in dogs imported after undergoing the inhumane procedure of having their ears mutilated, fulfilling the desire for a certain ‘look’ & encouraging a procedure outlawed in England since 1899. It’s time to close this 121-year-old legal loophole".
This is a very important cause and we would love if all you Bookshelvers in the UK could sign the petition.
