    A Brief Public Service Announcement dealing with found dogs.  Listen to Kelly & Kin talk more about what to do and not do if you find a dog that is lost!  There are laws in place to protect the dogs here in Massachusetts in this situation and you are NOT allowed to keep the dog.  Please look into who to call in your community so that you know ahead of time in the event you find a dog that does not belong to you.  Take a listen and we hope this helps one more dog to be reunited quickly!  Thank you to our sponsors: www.missingdogmass.com and the fine folks at www.metropetsnatick.com.Podcast Jingle Podcast Jingle Created by Kim Mixed by Kostas

    Welcome to a new season! Kim was asked to make "Corn Casserole" for Thanksgiving.  She was super concerned as she doesn't know how the heck to cook or bake and so she CROWD sourced on Facebook. Here was her ask, "We have been asked to bring Corn Casserole to Thanksgiving...what the heck is that & anyone have a recipe I can use?" Thankfully many folks reached out and Kim had lots of responses and sent recipes. YET since she is not a cook she decided to do a "practice run" with Kelly, who actually cooks. We made the "Corn Pudding" given to us by Antonia.We also chat about the best practices for keeping our dogs & cats safe during the Holidays. We are so very Thankful for all of you & our AWESOME sponsor PetVRA Telehealth App. www.petVRA.coPodcast Jingle Podcast Jingle Created by Kim Mixed by Kostas
