Everything seems crazy and awful right now in the world and then, on top of it all, people are… putting costumes on dogs. Anamarie and I delve into the weirdness and ethics of dressing up dogs. Additionally, we talk about Brian Hare and Vanessa Wood's Atlantic article about a third wive of domestication in dogs, and the Monks of New Skete's feature in the Associated Press. Ultimately, my 5-year-old sums up the spirit of the episode by sharing her own impromptu thoughts on how we should consider our dogs comfort above all else.

David and Josh review a chapter in the Monks of New Skete book discussing methods to discipline your puppy for behavioral issues.  We contemplate the methods used and discuss their benefit as well as more modern ways of solving these problems.

Starting with one German Shepherd over 50 years ago at a newly founded Monastery, the Monks of New Skete learned a deep communication with dogs based on listening and observing what the dogs had to say! Their training methods not only inspire happier well-behaved dogs, but they allow epiphanies where our dogs can reveal deep life lessons that can transform our lives. Learn about their world-renowned training methods and philosophy - which seems to be divinely aligned to perfection with A Super Smiley Adventure!

During the long homebound months of 2020 in America and around the world, many of us have spent more time with our dogs and pet adoptions have risen. At New Skete, the upstate New York Eastern Orthodox Christian monastery, the monks believe “love for creation deepens through the relationships we form with our pets.” Soon after the monastery was founded in 1966, the monks were given a German Shepherd, Kir. A unique ministry ensued. “In an entirely natural way [these German Shepherds] have taught us many important lessons about life and about ourselves,” the monks say. In addition to breeding these dogs, the monks of New Skete are renowned for their methods of training and socialization to enhance and deepen our relationship with these family members.

While some might chalk L.A.-based new wave band Wall of Voodoo's big hit Mexican Radio up as a novelty song, it touches on some surprisingly relevant themes. Inspired by the Mexican “border blaster” radio stations the band listened to as they drove around L.A., the song went to #58 in 1982 (#18 in Canada), blending new wave/synth sound with spaghetti western movie soundtrack inspiration. The band themselves provided the inspiration for other hits. Does the song hold up today? It sure does. Check Out the Video Enjoy some spaghetti western inspo from Ennio Morricone and from Jerry Goldsmith, whose theme for Our Man Flint made an appearance in Wall of Voodoo's cover of Ring of Fire.  Here's Joey by Concrete Blonde, inspired by Wall of Voodoo's guitarist Marc MorelandAnd here's Longview by Green Day, also possibly inspired by Wall of Voodoo?

He'll teach us to respect the true nature of dogs and become a pack leader. He'll also help us deal with the Holidays, a truly troublesome time for many dogs.

She'll teach us the nuances behind this special conversation. If you don’t know how to talk like a baby to your pet, today is your lucky day! Listen Now The Pet Hoarder Disorder Hoarders are people with a disorder that causes them to collect objects. But people who collect things and objects are not the same as people who collect animals. A new study, published in the journal Psychiatry Research, takes a look at the motivations of people who hoard animals. This latest study suggests that animal hoarding should be classified as an independent disorder with the hope of developing specialized treatments to help these people cope with the compulsion to collect critters.

Finding a Fear Free Veterinarian Dr. Kathryn Primm describes what it's like to be the first certified "Fear Free" vet. She says it has made a world of difference for her practice, and especially the animals that come to see her. Listen to hear explain in our continuing Fear Free Expert Series. Actress Helps Rescue Dogs from Hurricane Aftermath The heartbreak of the recent hurricanes in Texas and Florida has shown us a lot of animal heroes. The founder of Houston Pets Alive says one busy morning after the Harvey struck, someone tapped her on the shoulder and said, "Just so you know, Renee Zellweger is over there cleaning kennels and doing your laundry." Sure enough, she turned around to see the actress (who is also a native Texan) quietly cleaning kennels. And it wasn't just a photo op for publicity. The rescue says Zellweger "was here four days literally cleaning crates, doing laundry and walking the dogs." Read more about this week's show.

Summer vacation is over and Solid Cat is back to tell you what we did on ours. Stand back, this is actually the first half of a two part episode. First, D-mo is now and old man. In the News, we discuss a real life version of the Pina Colada song. For those that were wondering, yes, D-mo passed the stone. Wait... coyotes? Vermont is very beautiful and very green. The Musuem of the Creative Process creeped us out to no end, and we didn't even go in it. On our culinary tour of the eastern United States, we enjoyed cheesecake from the Nuns of New Skete, delicious cuisine at the City Tavern in Philly, and an absolutely delightful Italian place called Joe Benny's in Baltimore (go there; trust us). There were some questionable "Jersey-style" Whoppers at a Burger King. But we finally settle the debate on Philly's best cheesesteak... Pat's or Geno's (or do we?). There was also, what Val called, the "Taj Mahal of bathrooms." And we wrap with a wonderful Paws Up highlighting the spirit of second chances. We packed some much, we had to split up our tale, so enjoy Part 1, today, of Solid Cat.

Marsha and Kelly catch you up on all the things that have been going on with them over that last month.  New projects, new goals, new items in the Ravelry queue, new excuses pets family members, and new realizations about time management!  Press play and listen as we talk about our fiber adventures!  Kelly has one newly finished project,  Toddler hats that she made for Robert's co-worker's daughter.  One is plain stockinette with some embroidered flowers and the other has a texture pattern.  Neither was made using a pattern, but information about them is on Kelly's Ravelry page. She also has a newly started project.  She made Yoda from the Star Wars Crochet kit.  The designer is Lucy Collin and between her blog and the Flickr account she has with all the different Star Wars figures (some not in the kit) there are enough ideas for an entire galaxy of figures! Two other projects got significant activity over the last month. The Sheep to sweater project and the Big Sur Bourbon Socks Speaking of Big Sur, Kelly met her two-week goals with respect to walking.  She repeated the same goal for the next two weeks and will check in again.  The training for the Big Sur 21 Miler is going well.  The other two-week goal, finishing three skeins of the yarn for her mom, was not so successful.  She has finished one skein. The Two Ewes blog can now be found using the url http://twoewesfiber.com or http://twoewesfiberadventures.com  Also, you can now find Two Ewes Fiber Adventures on facebook.  The new episodes will be published there in addition to this blog, iTunes, and Stitcher.  If you enjoy listening, please join us at our Two Ewes Fiber Adventures Ravelry Group. Marsha and Kelly discuss spinning the batts of California variegated mutant (CVM)  that Kelly has made and is sharing with listeners. The breed is often  available at the Monterey County wool auction, but is classified as critical by the Livestock Conservancy.  The wool and mohair blend is spinning up easily, but does have some vegetable matter.  It makes a nice, lofty, woolen-spun yarn, but has some sheen due to the mohair. Marsha finished her Mystery Wool Cardigan made from coned wool she found at the Goodwill. The pattern is #241 Neck Down V-Neck Shaped Cardigan by Diane Soucy from Knitting Pure & Simple. She loves the fit! Marsha talks about the process of washing the finished cardigan. She continues to work on her Striped Study Shawl by Veera Valimaki. She is worried she won't have enough yarn to finish the pumpkin stripes. Marsha's BIG news is she got a standard poodle puppy named Sovereign's Formula One or "Enzo". He was born December 5, 2015 and joined our family January 29, 2016. Marsha is looking forward to long walks with Enzo. A new puppy is a huge undertaking so Marsha has not met her goal of walking three times a week. Kelly recommended the dog training book by the Monks of New Skete. A terrific book!    The Two Ewes are excited to offer CVM and mohair blend batts, as well as the handspun mini-skeins made from them, as premiums for any listeners who would like to support the podcast!
