Pet Show – One smart puppy

Listen to Pet Show! This week we had some very special guests: our dogs. OK, so our dogs weren’t actually on the show, but their smarts were. We discussed the infamous doggie IQ testand how well our dogs performed. The test challenges dogs to behave, hunt for treats and solve problems. Long story short: our dogs are pretty smart. But like all parents, you know the test doesn’t measure TRUE intelligence – our dogs are all geniuses in our minds. Of course.

Aside from that fun, Staff Writer Dawn Marks had some great Tail Tips about summer fruit. As we enjoy more delicious seasonal fruit, we have to make sure to keep it out of reach of our pets. Here’s an advisory from the ASPCA about what to be weary of.

Staff Writer Bryan Dean gave us some excellent pet news this week:

• - An Indiana couple wants to legalize owning skunks as pets. We think the idea stinks.
• - A massive snail migration caused a traffic pileup in Germany.
• - Elvis the parrotis terrorising Wilsden, England, and residents are fed up.
