After Ali’s morning walk with Elphie the foster husky (yes, she’s as cute as she sounds), we dive into a real-talk heart-to-heart about the rollercoaster of rescue work—the wins, the heartbreaks, and all the chaos in between. We also chat about Huck’s latest tummy drama and Ali’s extremely measured reaction to it (spoiler: not so measured). Then we get into some big feelings around immigration, protests, and how to stay grounded when the world feels totally upside-down. It’s fluff, feels, and fire—just how we like it.

Ali and I chat with Mandi, the incredible artist behind Grey Boy Pet Prints, who transforms pet grief into lasting keepsakes using paw prints, ashes, and a pure heart.

We also share the story of Baby, a sweet rescued chocolate lab I placed with Mandi—whose legacy now lives on through her beautiful art. 🐾💛

When a goose goes rogue and a cactus targets an eye, pet parenting gets real. Ali and Betsy share dramatic tales from the dog park and hiking trails, dive into a daring 65-dog desert rescue, and celebrate hummingbirds and hero pups. Plus, Broadway yes or no, air traffic anxiety, and why the Hollywood Bowl is a blessing and a curse.

This week, Ali and Betsy bust doodle myths, spiral about ticks, and share the wild true story of a Bengal tiger who bonded with a Pomeranian. Plus: dog food deep-dives, rescue burnout, and a husky riverwalk fundraiser that might just restore your faith in dog people.

This week, Ali and Betsy compare birthday vibes—Broadway singalongs vs. farmer’s market chill—and take deep dive into dog life, from picky eaters (looking at you, Huck and Stanley) to spay/neuter musts, foster fails, and surprise rescues. Plus: are those doggy dialogue buttons actually real? A raw meat debate, and one very adoptable puppy who needs your help.

This week, Betsy shares her urgent mission to save three rescue dogs, and Ali tells the story of Huck comforting a grieving stranger with a silent hug in an elevator. We dive into the emotional toll of vet visits, painful vaccine reactions, and why we're feeling a little anti-vax—at least when it comes to our dogs. Amid the chaos? Late-night wakeups, big feelings, and two birthday celebrations filled with love, laughter, and maybe a wet vac. 💔🎂🐾

From pitching dog adoptions mid-echo cardio exams to dissecting pee preferences, Ali and Betsy are on fire. Toss in a shady Oura ring and the time Ali’s friendliness may have saved her from Robert Durst—and you’ve got a classic episode of canine chaos and real-life catch-ups.

Ali’s heart pulled a fast one, Huck made his paramedic debut in true Huck style, and Phoebe is rocking the donut cone of shame. Plus: tiger drama, turtle rescues, and the very important case for naming your pup Raspberry Beret.
