  • Any time is a great time to donate to Rosie Fund but the best time might be between October 15 and October 22. We’re excited to announce our first annual Michael & Kurz Match for Rosie Fund that doubles your donation!

    Michael was an advocate for all animals; but he had an especially deep appreciation and love for dogs. He enjoyed volunteering at the shelter and interacting with all the dogs. That’s where he met and adopted his buddy, Kurz. He developed a special bond with Kurz and fondly referred to him as his Bagelhound: a Beagle Basset Hound mix. Now, in memory of Michael and Kurz, the Kackley family will MATCH donations to Rosie Fund up to $2500. Raising $5000 means 50 more shelter dogs receive promotion from our foundation and a Rosie Life Starter Kit!

    Claire Shelley with Bigfoot Pet Photography is sweetening the deal for those who donate during the Michael & Kurz Match for Rosie Fund. Donations of $50-$99 will receive $100 credit toward artwork of their pet’s photo session. $100-$199 donations receive $250 credit and $200 or more receive $500 credit.

    PLEASE NOTE: Google has moved its podcast service to YouTube. Podcasts can be migrated to YouTube but we will not be doing that with Dog Words for two reasons. First, if we need to make edits to an episode or update a description, we do that once with our Buzzsprout hosting and the change goes out to all podcast services except YouTube. Unfortunately, that creates extra work for podcasters. Second, YouTube does not provide any download stats to Buzzsprout. We like to know how many downloads we are getting and where are listeners are. Rather than take on the burden of managing a YouTube podcast feed separate from all the other services, we ask that you use one that is listed on our website.

    0214: Pet Hospice with Dr. Shea Cox
    Pet hospice is so much more than facing the final days of a treasured relationship. It’s an opportunity and an obligation to make the best choices for a beloved pet long before that time comes.

    P.S. I Love You More Than Tuna is a thoughtful and helpful gift for anyone dealing with the loss of an animal they love or even in anticipation of that event if it is an ill or aging pet. It’s more than a greeting card but not as in depth and comprehensive as Anne Marie’s book. They make a nice complement to each other.

    The Morris Animal Foundation is discussed in this episode. While they have helped fund research that greatly benefits the health of animals, their research on pet nutrition can be called into question. We were not aware of the conflict of interest raised by Daniel Schulof when we interviewed Dr. Kelly Diehl in 2021. While we are grateful for the beneficial work they have done in many areas of animal research, we implore the Morris Animal Foundation to objectively study the impact of meat-based protein versus plant-derived carbohydrates in pet food.

  • Claire Shelley, owner of Bigfoot Pet Photography joins us to announce the Pooch Playoffs, an exciting opportunity to support Rosie Fund and also get great photographs of your dog. We also talk about Claire’s interesting journey from art to science to photographer.

    If you are in the greater Kansas City and Lawrence area, register your dog or dogs at Bigfootpetphotography.com/poochplayoffs2024. If you are not in our area, you can support a worthy cause near you by finding a local photographer who is participating in the fundraiser. Search online for “Pooch Playoffs 2024” or reach out to Claire and she’ll help hook you up.

    Follow Claire’s amazing work and keep up with the Pooch Playoffs 2024 on Instagram.com/bigfootpetphotography and Facebook.com/bigfootpetphotography.

    If you can’t participate in the Pooch Playoffs but still want to help Rosie Fund, donations are always appreciated. We’re still raising funds to help featured Rosie Fund dog Phillip who lost a leg to cancer shortly after being adopted. Go to the campaign on our Facebook page or go to RosieFund.org/donate to use PayPal, Venmo, or your credit card. Please put “Phillip” in the note if you donate through the website.

    Here is Phillip's promotion video on YouTube. Listen to a brief explanation of his situation from our podcast archive.

    Music for this episode is provided by alternative string duo, The Wires. Visit them at TheWires.info. Learn fiddle and cello-fiddle online — even if you've never played before — from Laurel Morgan Parks and Sascha Groshang at FiddleLife.com.

    If you’ve ever wanted to visit Ireland, join Laurel and Sascha this July for the trip of a lifetime. More details on their website or go here.
