DOG TALK
on 88.3 at 11 AM has Stephanie Shain from the Humane Society of the Untied States discussing PUPPY MILL ACTION WEEK this week, and Dr Elizabeth Hodgkins discusses BIASED SCIENCE - the unhealthy marriage of money from profit-making pet food and drug companies underwriting and dictating the outcome of research on commercial pet food.


DOG TALK & CAT CHAT on WOR 710 AM at 10 PM has the interview with JOAN RIVERS about ALL THE DOGS IN HER LIFE. Joan says she gets no respect from her dogs and Tracie helps her with Samantha's "greeting peeing" and Max's disinterest in the word "Come" when he is out in the country.

If you have a question about your pet during Tracie's broadcasts, she encourages calls on the air. Tell her you saw her show listing right here on the urbanseashell blog hosted by Lisa. She will be glad to know you did.
