where's Warren next time? When I need him? And before you know it,
he'll be right there. You can go to his website, thepetshow dot
com. You can watch him on Facebook, although I'm not sure that you
know some of you are up for that's it's something you can do looking to
kill some time on a weekend to help yourself. Right there, you go?
All right? Just there's a story about a frightened boy who called nine
to one one for help the Royal Canadian Mounted Police who were in the area,
and they found there was a cougar was chasing this kid around and he
had Apparently the cougar got to him and scratched him and bit him. But
there was a dog with the constable that chased the cougar away. I thought
that was interesting because I wouldn't have thought that cougars would be afraid of dogs,
but maybe something they don't encounter on the regular basis. But now my
age is going to come out. Do you remember a TV show called Sergeant
Pressing of the Yukon and King King, We've solved this. It looks like
what is the last line, was we've solved this or something long the end
of it. Yeah, it was a great it was a great case about
it was King, this case is solved. That was and Sergeant pressed it
on his horse. Yeah. I just remember watching that as the kid.
But yeah, you know, it's amazing to me certain animals that may be
really large or assume aggressive the ell epect that's scared of the mouse. You
know, it's that old story. They're not familiar with it. They're going
to be afraid of it. Yep. All right. Because we're in the
gifting season or we're thinking about what to get, I just went through a
long list of some ideas people could use for stocking stuffers. I think that's
appropriate this time of year. One of the things that we don't think about
but we need to, is what happens when you lay all of this stuff
down under the Christmas tree. If you have a dog that decides to sniff
around and start chewing around on the paper. What do we have in terms
of a warning about gift wrapping Warren. Well, you know, it's kind
of interesting because a lot of people nowadays, they do their gift wrapping girly
stuff goes under the tree and they forget things, and they might put a
box of chocolate, they might put a fruitcake, other baked goods that have
harmful ingredients. Even things like cheese and meat can cause stomach upset. So
these things under a tree are going to be attractive to a dogg or cap
because of their incredible sense of smell. So food items not under the tree
at all. That's not the only problem. And these are things no one
talks about. Things have been bothered me for years. Scented items, soaps,
candles, even tobacco products and perfumes can be irresistible. But some contain
ethanol which could be toxic. And of course pet treats. Don't put them
under the tree. The pets don't have the patience that you or I have
to wait till Christmas. And in terms of specifically wrapping, obviously avoid string
of void ribbon, no glue. And this may be a little eccentric to
some people. Use wrapping paper if you can find it that does not contain
harmful chemicals. I'd love to watch my dogs open their own presence, but
I don't want m to ingest harmful chemicals. So I find wrapping paper that
is natural and doesn't have any harmful chemicals in it. So those are just
some basic things that you need to know. Food items, sent that items,
petreats, and wrapping. Put those pieces together and have a safe holiday
with your pets. A word to the wise is sufficient, so said one
of my wise teachers. Here's the story of a Marine Corps veteran whose service
dog saved his life on multiple occasions. So as this is a story that
actually got started. I think I touched on this on Veterans Day, but
because you're here, I wanted to bring it back around circle recycle if you
will, this story of the dog Kayla, who is helping, helping of
men who had been in the service and women too with PTSD. And I
wondered as I saw this, I wonder if you have ever treated a dog
that had PTSD. Never mind the human beings every day, every day,
dog every day. Whenever I rescue dogs out of pit bull fighting arenas years
ago, where take them out of shelters or been abused or just neglected or
mistreated. These dogs have PTSD. That's why one of the most important things
you can do when you first adopt a dog, and bless everyone for adopting
the dog, give them a little time to adjust and then little by little
build up their confidence and self image that separates me from the pack no pun
intended. The training is important, but building up that self confidence and that
self esteem is so critical. So yes, I treat dogs constantly. In
fact, a lot of the calls I get on my radio show from people
that recently adopted a dog and they don't realize the problems they're having are associated
with PTSD. But just like with people, time patients love hugs and kisses
can resolve those. Speaking of hugs and kisses, Warren has a proprietary blend
of wonderful vitamins and minerals for dogs and cats. You can find them at
the Pet Show dot com or you can find them at Hugs and Kisses dot
com. I use them to reward my dog Daisy when she's been a wonderful
girl. She loves them, and besides the fact she loves them, they're
really good for her as well. Find them at Hugs and kisses dot Com,
