In this episode of the Doing Good Podcast, we meet Julie Ridenour from Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Julie is a longtime volunteer with multiple organizations, a mother of grown children, and most recently, a puppy raiser for Freedom Service Dogs in Colorado.Raising a future service dog has been a lifelong dream for Julie. About two months ago, she received her puppy, Salem, and will foster her until she's around 18 months old. During this time, Julie will focus on socializing Salem, teaching her basic obedience, and preparing her for her future role as a service dog for someone with a disability. Afterward, Salem will return to Freedom Service Dogs to begin her training and start her new life.Julie highlights the excellent training and support Freedom Service Dogs provides to puppy raisers—an important factor to consider for anyone interested in this type of volunteer work. She also shares the emotional bond she's formed with Salem, knowing she is just one step in the dog's journey. “Everyone asks if it will be hard to give her up. My response is maybe, but I know she has an important job ahead of her.”This episode is brought to you by Doing Good, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

A conversation with my dear friend Megan, who I met through Freedom Service Dogs because she was MY service dog's foster mom. #FreedomServiceDogs is a not for profit organization that supplies service dogs to so many people through their programs and is always looking for donations AND volunteers. One of the ways you can volunteer is becoming either a part of their "puppy raiser" club or a weekend foster parent.

Laura McGaughey is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer - Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA) through the Certification Council of Professional Dog Trainers, which is a nationally recognized certification. She has trained hundreds of dogs of all types with behavioral issues and placed six service dogs and one therapy dog while working with Freedom Service Dogs of America. This interview is very special to me because Laura trained our service dog, Aussie, prior to her joining our family. Prior to Aussie's arrival, I knew very little about service dogs, especially dogs that could be supportive to kids on the autism spectrum. In this episode, you will hear about the differences between a service and emotional support dog, some of the do's and don'ts in the service dog world, and how Aussie transformed my family's lives for the better.

Tune in and see what the world of being a MA has to offer.
RealiTV Reality Recaps 90 Day Fiance, Sister Wives, Love After Lockup
It’s an exciting time for reality TV as we have the Holy Trinity of shows to feast on! First up, Married at First Sight (8:50) debuted with a home run episode. Bennett pees his pants, Brett impresses no one, and Woody accidentally found himself here instead of Little People, Big World. Love After Lockup (32:3) is back & better than ever with a whole new crew of People of Walmart. John & his facial moles are head over handcuffs for Kristianna, and Jessica apparently has a habit of stalking her own sister. Quaylon & Shavel are certain their love will last, despite the fact they don’t know how to say or spell each other’s names. Finally, 90 Day Fiance The Other Way (49:35) brings the love fest all together with Kenneth & Armando’s reunion. Horchata & gummy worms aren’t for everyone, but I’m holding on to hope!

Ailbe Astor is the Veteran Services Coordinator at Freedom Service Dogs of America. FSD helps veterans and active-duty military find new levels of confidence and independence with these specially trained dogs. Ailbe went into the Marine Corps right out of high school. Even when he got out, he continued to work with veterans and be around veterans, so he never really had a tough transition period. He is so passionate about matching these wonderful dogs with vets who can benefit from them. He shares a little bit about the program and the rigorous training that the dogs go through. He also shares how the purpose of the dog is to help the client reintegrate into society and do the things that they want to do, not just the same old thing that they have been doing. It’s about freedom and independence. He also talks to us about the process to get a dog, and how he works hard to gain the trust of the vet to make the perfect match. He also shares tips like applying right away. You can always change your mind, because there is a two to three year waiting list. Highlights from This Episode: [00:47] Ailbe served in the Marine Corps in the 90s straight out of high school. [01:25] When he got out, he started working with vets and never stopped. [02:33] One of the toughest parts about transitioning is losing the known entities that you can trust. [02:55] Ailbe is the Veteran Services Coordinator at Freedom Service Dogs of America or like his wife calls him, the dog matcher. [03:07] He meets with veterans and gets to know them a little better before matching them with dogs. [03:52] He wants to match the personalities according to personality, energy, and what the vet does day-to-day. [05:46] The goal of getting the dog is to help the vet reintegrate back into society. Which includes pushing outside of their comfort zone. [06:46] Freedom Service Dogs has been around for 33 years. The founder ended up getting paralyzed in an accident and eventually discovered the benefits of a service dog and wanted to share with others. [08:23] The dogs now help with physical disabilities, PTSD, and people on the spectrum. [09:10] Once they get the dogs they go through an established curriculum. They work with prisoners for two months, and then move on to other training. [10:24] Dogs can help create space in crowds or a bubble. [12:06] They have a very robust group of volunteers at the facility and fosters for the weekend. [13:31] Operation Freedom is an umbrella for any program that serves veterans. [14:31] They take dogs to all of the places that the veterans would go like the grocery store, the VA, and the airport. [15:27] They also send the trainer to the client's home to introduce the dog to environments and replicate anything that they can. [18:27] Ailbe shares a story of a veteran that was able to go to the movies for the first time in years. [21:07] They go all over to find dogs to put into the program. [23:08] There is no shortage of vets in need. They frequently find the program. After therapy and meds, they usually discover service dogs. Many of the people they see have been in treatment for a long time. [25:00] The interview for the potential vet is very intensive. Ailbe really needs to find out who they are and gain their trust to match them to the correct dog. [30:35] The dogs get lifetime support with a trainer. [31:59] The VA is working on a program to offer vouchers for service dogs. They do offer pet coverage. [33:23] Ailbe knows that service dogs add value to the lives of those with PTSD. [36:43] Start the process, the moment you think you might be interested in a service dog. A two to three-year wait can be a devastating piece of information. There's no harm in applying and changing your mind. [38:04] Focus on improving yourself while you're waiting to get your dog.

In Episode 7 - Denny and Drew take a spin through listener reactions to the first experiment results unleashed online and in the podcast. Then it's off to the pub where they discuss the rise of homebrewing around the globe (focused on an article about Indian homebrewers), Denny wields the eraser of correction about the beers he tried from Barrel of Monks and Drew talks up Lew Bryson's Session Beer Day project. And then to the lab where the guys launch the next experiment - all about the First Wort Hop. This time out the crew is set on re-creating Denny's classic experiment that yielded inconclusive results about FWH. Ignore the recipe content in the podcast because the IGORs asked for a recipe change and who are the guys to deny them that? Once again, hoppy times are brought to you by NikoBrew.com! Time to announce the podcast's first charity project - Freedom Service Dogs of America. They're dedicated to rescuing and training shelter dogs to serve as support animals for the disabled, including returning vets. Join the podcast as a Patreon supporter to help rescue some pups! Back to the Bay Area for one last time as the gang returns to Faction Brewing in Alameda and the wide ranging Rodger Davis. We clarify (maybe) Rodger's dry hopping procedure for his infinitely hoppy beers. The guys talk through a bunch of other things like the love/not love of fork lifts, his team - the genesis of the White Stout style (found the culprit!) and his experimental hop series. (WARNING - Rodger is also prolific with his utterances and we're still working out where the line is and whether or not we caught them all - so be careful in this segment with the kids if you don't want them learning some words!) Finally Denny and Drew take your questions. Quick announcement about questions - looks like every 10th episode, the show will become an all (mostly?) Q&A show - so get your questions in and see how long you can make D&D answer questions! Denny takes a tip from Jeff Gladish about blending and Drew recommends a few new choice selections for your reading library (of non-beery things) So, are you guys psyched to get your First Wort Hop on?

Jon welcomes Sharan Wilson, Executive Director of Freedom Service Dogs. Freedom Service Dogs acquires and trains dogs that have the potential to successfully undergo and complete the rigorous seven to ten month training that allows them to assist people with disabilities, thus increasing their independence and peace of mind. They focus their efforts on donating these wonderful animals to disabled military veterans to help restore some normalcy to their difficult lives.
