Is losing a pet really as painful as losing a human family member? How do you know when pet grief has become something you need help dealing with—and what should you NEVER say to someone whose pet just died? Tom Kelly sits down with longtime friend Judith Eve Rosen, LCSW, a clinical social worker specializing in veterinary social work and author of Life After Pet Loss: Daily Reflections for Working Through Grief. Judith explains how an experience in a veterinary emergency room inspired her to specialize in pet loss and the human-animal bond.
This is the last episode of our August hiatus, and we wanted to close it out with one of the most inspiring conversations from the past year. Heading into a new season felt like the right time to revisit Julie Wainwright's story — about reinvention, building something from scratch, and trusting yourself when the path isn't obvious. We're back with brand new episodes next week!From shuttering a business to billion-dollar success, Julie Wainwright is a serial entrepreneur who's seen it all. After serving as CEO of Pets.com and experiencing its collapse during the dot-com crash, Julie reinvented herself and went on to build The RealReal, the luxury resale platform that revolutionized the industry. In this episode, Julie opens up about how she turned a setback into her biggest company yet, the innovations that set The RealReal apart, and the powerful lessons she's learned as a woman navigating the business world.Special thanks to today's sponsor Aerie!

Welcome back to MU! This week we take a look at Why Time Flies by Alan Burdick and find out that even “official” time is a negotiated average built from clocks around the world. Then we move into the story of Michel Siffre, who removed himself from daylight, clocks, calendars, and ordinary human routine, and his cave experiments reveal just how quickly the body's internal rhythms can drift when they're cut loose from the outside world. Welcome to your Plus+ Extension, and thank you all for joining us on Plus+! Animals, along with all living things, are affected by cosmic rhythms and celestial cycles.

Many people know the importance of healthy eating. This includes reading labels for themselves and their children, but they don't think twice about what they feed their four-legged family members. Joining us is Dr. Judy Morgan, a holistic veterinarian and author of bestselling books, a few of them out there including three cookbooks for dogs.She's here to expose the startling little known truths about how common pet food on the market can be making our pets sick, destroying their quality of life, and even killing them prematurely. Pet food, even if you see those words, all natural and healthy on the label, can still contain chemicals, food dyes, toxins, contaminants and inflammatory preservatives. Today we will discuss the best foods and other healthful tidbits of information for our pet parent listeners out there.

Patrick answers real questions from listeners, blending Catholic teaching with down-to-earth advice on everything from why animals suffer to whether pets might greet us in heaven. In quick exchanges, he weaves themes of faith, loss, generosity, and the tug between raising children and affording Catholic education; sometimes, the show jumps from tears to laughter over Pop-Tarts or the bittersweet warmth of Dolly Parton's memory. He doesn’t shrink from complexity, moving between phone calls, theology, and the quirks of daily life with a rhythm that’s both unpredictable and deeply human. John (Email) - What is the Catholic Church Doctrine or teaching about why must animals, or in this case our beloved pet, be made to suffer? And, will God allow our Pets into heaven? (00:55) Catherine - You mentioned NFP a few weeks ago. How can we be open to life while providing a Catholic education for our current children? (11:39) Patrick in NJ - I went to Confession and my sin was omission. The priest told me giving money to the poor is the same as giving them cigarettes and alcohol. (19:19) Lucy - I think God can use our pets to teach us faith and obedience. I think it is not that God allows animals to suffer, it is Him using animals to show us how to suffer and how to live. (25:39) Laurie - I would encourage women to see being open to life as an inspiration from God. I am a mother of 7, and I have yet to hear someone wish they didn't have the number of kids they had. I hear more people wish they had more. (29:09) Paulette - You were just talking about animals going to heaven. I thought your cat would be with you in heaven if you needed it to be. I heard this from a priest. (32:05) Patrick and Cyrus remanence about Dolly Parton (37:43) Raul - Is the Angel of The Lord Jesus or just interceding for people on earth? (47:34)

Kiki Monique and Ryan Bailey are back in the studio this week, and somehow exploding champagne is the least messy thing on the agenda. Following Hayden Panettiere's heartbreaking story, the trio discusses postpartum mental health, the stigma that still surrounds it, and why women should never be professionally punished for speaking openly about what they're going through. They also unpack the Lindsay Clancy trial, the misinformation spreading online, and the difficult question at the center of so much of the discourse: when someone is repeatedly asking for help, who has a responsibility to actually hear them? Then, it's back to the mess with Jax publicly airing his grievances with Brittany, the staged paparazzi shots of Jax & Lori K, and Ryan refusing to even open Jax's DM. Ryan also wants to know why Scheana isn't on “The Valley” and whether there's any truth to the idea that she's secretly dying to get back on reality TV. Scheana shares what she envisions for her future in that space—and why, if she does return, viewers may meet a very different version of her. Plus, Scheana reveals why she didn't find Lala's reunion apology authentic, reflects on the version of Katie Maloney she wishes she'd appreciated sooner, and explains why being told someone “doesn't recognize” her anymore might actually be the biggest compliment.

Discover how pets are budgeted as family members. A new survey reveals just how far owners are willing to go to protect their pets, including making sacrifices in their own spending and making long-term plans for their animals.

Dog training motivation is not simply about how quickly a dog performs or how intensely they pursue a reward. Does your dog genuinely enjoy training, or have they simply learned to chase the food, ball or tug at the end of it? The difference matters. When the reward is the only valuable part, performance can become dependent on what the dog can see, while the training itself holds very little value. In Episode 372 of The Canine Paradigm, Glenn Cooke and Pat Stuart explore dog training motivation, what actually matters to the individual dog, and how handlers can build training that dogs actively choose to participate in. What Actually Matters to Your Dog? Owners can easily assume they know what their dog values. Some dogs are strongly motivated by food, while others place greater value on play, movement, social interaction, environmental access, relief from pressure or the opportunity to perform the work itself. Understanding dog training motivation requires us to observe the individual dog rather than decide what should motivate them. A reward is only reinforcing if it genuinely increases or strengthens the behaviour that preceded it. Creating Dog Training Motivation That Lasts Creating value in the game means allowing the handler, cues, equipment and opportunity to work to predict worthwhile outcomes. Sessions should be clear, rewarding and short enough to preserve the dog's enthusiasm. Visible lures should gradually disappear. Reward placement and timing should support the next repetition, while difficulty should increase without producing constant failure. The aim is a dog that engages before seeing the payment, persists when challenged and recovers comfortably from mistakes. For sporting and working dogs, intensity alone is not enough. Strong motivation also includes clarity, connection and the ability to settle after the work finishes. Fair pressure and well-timed correction can exist within balanced training, but they cannot compensate for confusing criteria or a game the dog was never taught to value. Key Takeaways Motivation is individual and can change with the situation. Reinforcement is defined by its effect on behaviour, not the handler's intention. A visible reward can support learning, but it should not become the dog's only reason to perform. Genuine engagement includes enthusiasm, clarity, resilience and connection with the handler. The goal is to create a dog that chooses the training game, even before the payment appears. Frequently Asked Questions Does using food mean my dog only works for food? No. Food can help establish a strong reinforcement history. The aim is to prevent the dog from becoming dependent on seeing the food before performing. How can I tell whether my dog enjoys training? Look for voluntary engagement, anticipation, resilience after mistakes and a willingness to participate when the reward is not visible. Can corrections reduce a dog's motivation? Poorly timed, confusing or excessive corrections can create conflict. Fair and understandable communication should clarify the task without overwhelming the value already built into the activity.

Cattitude - Cat podcast about cats as pets on Pet Life Radio (PetLifeRadio.com)
What happens to the love we share with our cats after they're gone? This week on Cattitude, Michelle Fern welcomes back author Josephine Spence for a touching and uplifting conversation about her new book, Echoes from the Rainbow Bridge, inspired by the loss of her beloved cat, Onkyo, after 19 extraordinary years together. Josephine shares how writing 37 imagined letters from Onkyo helped her navigate the silence, sadness and grief that followed her passing—and gave her comfort in believing their bond continues beyond this life. Michelle and Josephine explore why pet-loss grief is very real, meaningful ways to honor and remember a beloved cat, whether and when to open your heart to another pet, and the beautiful lessons cats teach us about unconditional love and living in the present. It's a heartfelt episode for anyone who has ever loved—and had to say goodbye to—a very special cat, with a hopeful reminder that the pawprints they leave on our hearts never disappear.EPISODE NOTES: Echoes from the Rainbow Bridge: When the Love of a Cat Never LeavesBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/cattitude-the-1-cat-podcast--6666768/support.
Photo: Cars destroyed in the Mukluk Fire on August 18, 2026. (Courtesy Pyotr Dobrotvorsky) Residents of the eastern Interior community of Tok, Alaska are being ordered to evacuate their homes after a wildfire broke out Monday morning. What officials are calling the Mukluk Fire was reported shortly before noon in the backyard of a residence on the Alaska Highway, near milepost 1316, as the Alaska Desk’s Shelby Herbert from KUAC reports. As of Monday evening, it had grown to over 1,500 acres and was spreading to the east and northeast. Sam Harrel, a spokesperson for the Alaska Division of Forestry and Fire Protection said hot, dry, and windy weather has made the situation dangerous. He said in a brief phone interview that state troopers and firefighters are going door-to-door in the area north of the Alaska Highway asking people to leave. Level 3 ‘Go’ evacuations — urging residents to leave immediately — were underway from Sundog Trail to Midnight Sun Drive. Residents in that area were being asked to evacuate to the local Mushers Hall and the Tok School. Pets are being accepted in both locations. Officials have also cautioned people in the area to avoid downed power lines. Harrell also said a helicopter initial attack team from Fairbanks has been dispatched to the fire, as well as fire engines from as far away as Mat-Su and Kenai. He was not able to confirm, if — or how many — structures have burned. Gov. Mike Dunleavy (R-AK) issued a disaster declaration Tuesday, activating the state's public and individual assistance program. Fur seals on St. Paul Island, Alaska. (Photo: Allen Shimada / NOAA NMFS/OST/AMD) Dogs have long been banned on the Pribilof Islands in Alaska, under a rule imposed by the federal government to protect the world’s largest concentration of northern fur seals, but that is set to change. The Alaska Beacon reports that under a new interim rule enacted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), dogs may be brought to the islands, but only for the specific purpose of hunting for rats. Dogs allowed on St. Paul Island or any other part of the archipelago must be trained and certified to detect and catch rats, and their stays are limited to 180 days. The Pribilofs have managed to stay rat-free, even as other Alaska islands and coastal areas have become infested with rodents. The new NOAA rule is intended to keep it that way. Rats are not native to any part of Alaska, but have been introduced by ships over time. They have infested several coastal regions and become one of the most destructive invasive species in the state. There have been instances of rat sighting on St. Paul over the years, but most were caught immediately in traps set up at the harbor. One rat escaped that gauntlet in 2018 and was found dead 10 months later. The new rule went into effect on August 6. Bears Ears National Monument in Utah. (Photo: Bob Wick / Bureau of Land Management) Mining companies are setting their sights on two national monuments in Utah. KNAU's Chris Clements reports the monuments were slashed by President Donald Trump last month, opening them up to new mining claims. Seven mining claims were filed in Bears Ears National Monument a day after President Trump announced the cuts, with two filed in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument less than a month after that. Autumn Gillard is a member of the Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah. “It’s just very unfortunate that our public lands and Native American ancestral homelands are being put up so quickly on the chopping block.” She worries if the claims one day become mines, they will hurt a unique landscape that is home to thousands of cultural sites, but Brian Somers of the Utah Mining Association says he is confident any mining would be responsible. “We can develop our minerals in a way that respects the environment.” And, he says, mining the monuments for minerals like uranium could help reduce dependence on foreign adversaries. It is unclear if the U.S. Bureau of Land Management will approve the claims, since Trump's executive orders only allow them after September 11. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.

Do Pets Go to Heaven? Will we see our pets again in heaven? It's a question many people have asked, especially after losing an animal they loved. In this episode of The Bible Explained, Dr. Bryan Cutshall looks at what Scripture says about animals and eternity. Starting in Revelation 5, he explores the biblical picture of creatures in heaven praising God and what that could mean for the animals we know and love. He also goes back to the Garden of Eden to examine what life may have been like for animals before sin entered the world and how the fall affected all of creation. So, do pets go to heaven? Open your Bible and join Dr. Cutshall as we take a closer look at what Scripture has to say. If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend.

Why does the average dog now live 7 fewer years than one did in the 1970s? Holistic veterinarian Dr. Judy Morgan says the answer is sitting in the food bowl, and it's fixable. With 36 years in practice and a base in traditional Chinese veterinary medicine, Dr. Judy Morgan explains how food became the foundation of her work, why dry kibble fails dogs and cats, and the simple whole foods that add years of healthy life. This is a rare episode on how pet health and human health mirror each other. Meet our guest Dr. Judy Morgan (DVM, CVA, CVCP, CVFT) is an integrative veterinarian, acupuncturist, chiropractor, food therapist, and best-selling author with more than 40 years in animal health. Named IAOTP Holistic Veterinarian of the Decade for 2024, she runs Dr. Judy Morgan's Naturally Healthy Pets, helping pet parents worldwide heal with food and natural therapies instead of defaulting to chemicals and processed food.

Dry kibble is capped near 30% meat and can be 50 to 60% carbohydrates, which pets do not require. Roughly 40% of pet-food ingredients are upcycled byproducts, and unnamed "meat meal" can be any species. Pets test 10 to 25 times higher than their owners for cancer-linked household chemicals. Low phosphorus and high moisture matter far more than restricting protein in kidney disease. Cheap whole-food toppers like sardines, eggs, blueberries, and pumpkin make a real difference. Delaying spay or neuter protects joints, hormones, and longevity in large breeds.

I know it's been a long wait, and you've had to settle for listening to "The" Joe Rogan Experience or The Daily, or maybe for staring glassy-eyed at a chair or at your friends' faces while they ask you if you're sure you're okay. But you can stop all that now. We're back. And we're back with more C.S. Lewis, who in turn is back with a certain poet I like to call John Skelton. Because that was his name. Could he have been England's first rapper? Lil' Skeltie? Tune in and find out. This week, Dr. Katherine Wyma and I continue our tour of C.S. Lewis' Oxford History of English Literature (Excluding Drama), or, as he liked to call it, "the OHEL," because...he hated writing it. That said, it's quite clear that the research Lewis conducted for the book--for over a decade--inspired much of his creative work. Further, it's clear that he was interested in what he wrote about here and admired Skelton's poetry, at least a bit. We're in Book I of The Oxford History of English Literature today--mainly the section marked "The Close of the Middle Ages in England," and we're focusing on Skelton, because he is the most significant poet to write during this time--at least in England. (We recorded an earlier episode on "The Close of the Middle Ages in Scotland," but I have, to my great regret, misplaced that file. So if you were hoping to get that Dunbar or Henryson fix we all need sometimes, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a bit longer--so sorry!) So join us (and Lewis) as we mark time with Skelton, thinking about old age, death, and eccentric rhythms that aren't quite meter, but also aren't quite...not meter. Among other things, we discuss: 0:00 — Introduction & the OHEL Project 7:38 — John Skelton & Eleanor Rumming 14:23 — Medieval Body Humor & Aging 18:06 — Skeltonic Meter & Philip Sparrow 23:50 — Lewis on Philip Sparrow 28:40 — Grief, Pets, and Childhood 33:26 — Lewis vs. Eliot & Wrap-up This is taken from Chapter 2 of Here, by the way, are the two most famous Skelton poems we discuss: The Tunning of Elenor Rumming The Book of Philip Sparrow By the way--my reading of these poems is meant to sort of suggest how they sound without going full Middle (or even Early Modern) English on you. So, yes, I realize it's sort of neither fish nor fowl. But it was fun. If you want to add anything or make any suggestions, or just reach out and say hi, please don't hesitate to contact me at inklingsvarietyhour@gmail.com. Next: George MacDonald's Lilith!

In Episode 371 of The Canine Paradigm, Glenn and Pat explore the idea that people are often reflected in their dogs. This topic came from conversations Pat had with his boot camp attendees and Skool subscribers, where the discussion turned to how much a trainer can observe about an owner simply by watching the dog. Dogs do not live in isolation. They live inside our habits, our timing, our emotional patterns, our inconsistencies, and our expectations. As a result, the way a dog behaves can often reveal the structure, confusion, pressure, or clarity that exists in the human side of the relationship. In this episode, Glenn and Pat discuss how trainers can read these patterns without turning it into judgement or blame. Sometimes the dog's behaviour tells us the owner lacks clarity. Sometimes it shows too much emotion, poor timing, mixed rules, or a household that has no consistent system. However, it can also show dedication, effort, improvement, and a person trying hard to get better. Further Details This conversation is about learning to observe the whole picture. If we want to help the dog, we often need to help the person first. Better owners create better outcomes, and better coaching helps both ends of the lead.

Curious? Take The Free Money Stress Quiz!Ready? Buy Our Simplified Budget System Now!Budget besties, sometimes budgeting is less about following the “perfect” financial plan and more about making your money work for the actual life you're living.In this episode, we're talking through two real-life coaching situations that show exactly what that can look like.First up: pets. And not just one cute little pet with an occasional bag of food—we're talking multiple animals, grooming appointments, vet visits, specialty food, emergencies, and an annual pet budget that can easily hit five figures. When one savings bucket starts feeling like its own mini economy, it might be time to give it its own checking account.We break down why creating a separate account for a large or complicated expense category can make budgeting so much easier. Instead of constantly transferring money back and forth, you can fund the account each month and let those expenses come directly from it. Less mental math. Less account juggling. More clarity.Then we get into HELOCs.One of Vanessa's clients had already paid off her credit card debt, had her savings buckets dialed in, and was doing an amazing job planning ahead—but she still had a large HELOC. The question became: Does she need to attack that debt immediately, or can she choose to focus on other priorities right now?That leads us into a bigger conversation about fake financial urgency.Sometimes we feel like we should pay something off faster because that's what we've heard we're supposed to do. But your budget doesn't have to be built around someone else's priorities.We talk about looking at the actual numbers—interest rates, whether the debt is fixed or variable, and how it fits into your bigger financial picture—while also asking a very important question:What actually matters to you right now?Because paying off debt is important, but so is building a budget that keeps you from going back into debt. Saving for future cars, kids, travel, pets, and everything else coming your way matters too.And yes, we also explain why a HELOC can be a little bit like keeping Oreos in the house. Sometimes the easiest way to avoid constantly taking “just a little more” is to recognize how tempting easy access can be in the first place.Let's Take Our Relationship To The Next Level:1️⃣ Facebook Group ➡︎ budgetbesties.com/facebook2️⃣ Be on the Podcast ➡︎ budgetbesties.com/livecall3️⃣ Private 1-on-1 Coaching. ➡︎ budgetbesties.com/coachingThis podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not personal financial, legal, or tax advice.This description may contain affiliate links, meaning we may get a commission at no cost to you if you click & purchase.Click here to view our privacy policy.
"Food is the foundation of life. We can use food to heal or we can use food to harm." — Dr. Judy Morgan What if the way we've been taught to care for our pets isn't always the best way? In this powerful and unapologetically disruptive episode of Turmeric & Tequila, Kristen Olson sits down with Dr. Judy Morgan, an integrative veterinarian with more than 40 years of experience, to challenge conventional thinking around pet health, nutrition, vaccines, and veterinary care. Dr. Morgan shares the personal journey that took her from a traditional veterinary practice she says she hated to an integrative approach incorporating food therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic care, Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, and natural healing therapies. Then the conversation gets REAL. Dr. Morgan takes a hard look at ultra-processed pet food, how pet food is manufactured, ingredient labels, rendered products, carbohydrates, and what she believes pet parents need to understand before choosing what goes into their dogs' and cats' bowls. She explains why she prefers whole-food, raw, or gently cooked approaches and discusses what she considers red flags on pet food labels. The conversation also tackles: • Why Dr. Morgan believes ultra-processed pet food deserves more scrutiny • What "meat meal," "animal digest," and other pet food ingredients can mean • Raw vs. gently cooked pet food • Protein, carbohydrates, and species-appropriate nutrition • Why cats have unique nutritional needs • Taurine, carnitine, and the discussion around heart health • How to make homemade pet food more practical • Freeze-dried food and traveling with pets • Pet vaccines, including rabies, DAP and leptospirosis • Vaccine titers and the importance of understanding your pet's individual risk • Flea, tick and heartworm prevention • Why pet parents should advocate for themselves and their animals • Finding a veterinarian you trust • When surgery may not be the only option • Acupuncture, chiropractic care and other integrative approaches • Lipomas, arthritis and mobility • Grooming as part of overall pet health • Feeding schedules, fasting and "hunger pukes" • The importance of asking questions instead of simply doing what you've always been told At the heart of the conversation is a bigger message that applies far beyond pets: Question better. Learn more. Advocate for yourself. And don't be afraid to look for another answer. Dr. Judy Morgan DVM, CVA, CVCP, CVFT has over 40-years-experience as an integrative veterinarian, acupuncturist, chiropractor, food therapist, best-selling author, international speaker, podcast host and owner of Dr. Judy Morgan's Naturally Healthy Pets. Her goal is to change the lives of pets by educating and empowering pet parents worldwide in the use of natural healing therapies, and minimizing the use of chemicals, vaccinations, and poor-quality processed food.

It started with two dog bowls. On the morning of October 15, 2011, in Philadelphia's quiet Tacony neighborhood, 71-year-old landlord Turgut Gozleveli descended into the basement of the brick building he helped maintain. But that morning, something felt wrong. The basement was darker than usual. Several lightbulbs had been unscrewed, leaving the room in near darkness. Two stainless steel dog dishes sat side by side beneath a small table. Pets weren't allowed in the building. He asked the tenants if anyone was feeding a dog. Everyone said no. Two days later, the bowls were still there. Uneasy, Gozleveli grabbed a flashlight and returned to the basement. He made his way to the building's long-abandoned furnace room. The door was wrapped in a chain. He unlooped it and pulled the door open. The smell hit him first. His flashlight revealed a dirt floor littered with scraps of food, filthy blankets, and a bucket overflowing with human waste, and then something moved beneath one of the quilts. When Gozleveli lifted the blanket, he recoiled. A man and a woman lay curled together, gaunt and wide-eyed. "Get the hell out of here," he shouted, assuming they were squatters. They weren't.

This week, Hysteria 51 asks two important questions: How far is too far when protecting your lawn, and has your dog secretly been judging you this entire time?First, a Minnesota man allegedly constructs a homemade spike strip packed with dozens of three-inch screws to stop neighborhood kids from biking across his grass. Because apparently a “Keep Off the Lawn” sign lacked the medieval menace he was looking for.Then we travel to South Korea, where pet owners are turning to tarot readers to uncover their animals' hidden thoughts, anxieties, health concerns, and possibly their opinions about that bargain-bin kibble. Dogs are selecting cards, humans are seeking answers, and somewhere a cat is refusing to participate because it already knows the future and finds it disappointing.Join us for homemade lawn traps, psychic pets, canine emotional baggage, and another bewildering tour through the strangest corners of weird news.Links & Resources
