Are You Prepared For an Emergency?

In this episode, I chat with Nicole, a German native living in Atlanta, Georgia, who has transitioned from a 20-year career in the trade show business to teaching pet first aid.

Nicole shares how her own experiences, particularly in remote areas with her Doberman while her husband rock climbs, spurred her interest in pet first aid.

She became certified through Pet Tech, likened to the American Red Cross for pets, and now teaches comprehensive classes for both dog and cat owners.

Nicole points out how important it is to be prepared for emergencies, covering a wide range of topics from prevention and CPR to how to handle choking and inducing vomiting.

So, how prepared are YOU for a doggie emergency?

TC Wait - Winter Adventures: Living with Sled Dogs in Alaska

In this fascinating episode, I talk to TC, a sled dog owner living outside Willow, Alaska, throughout the winter.

Chatting with TC was like stepping into another world where sled dogs rule and every day is an adventure.

TC shared how she stumbled into the world of dog sledding and totally fell in love with it. We talked about the quirky and awesome personalities of sled dogs, especially the Alaskan and Siberian Huskies, and how keeping these furry friends happy and healthy is pretty much the most important thing for her. Our conversation was filled with fun stories from the trail, the ups and downs of winter in Alaska with a pack of dogs, and how these amazing animals play a huge part in the culture of remote places.

TC also gave me the lowdown on what training looks like throughout the seasons, and how life kind of revolves around what's best for the dogs. It’s all about living together with plenty of respect and understanding.
