Pet Show – Scots are tops!
Listen to Pet Show! We talk about Clint Eastwood’s orangutan pal and daredevil squirrels. But most importantly, we talk about the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show and the winner, Sadie the Scot. So, in honor of her, we discussed our Top Five Scottish Things. Here is my list. (Bryan Dean posted his as a comment.)
No. 5: Haggis.
No. 4: Hooligans.
No. 3: J. K. Rowling, who lives in Scotland.
No. 2: Oklahoman Database Editor Paul Monies.
And No. 1: Sadie, the Westminster champion, of course!

Pet Show – keeping safe during the storm
Listen to Pet Show! Our guest is Dr. Louise Murray, medical director of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Impressed? We are, too. Dr. Murray talked to us about how to keep your pets safe during the impending ice storm, otherwise known as Ice Storm of Doom 2010.
In other news, police in Mexico City saved 150 ferrets, and the Brits have taught crocodiles to recognize their own names. Maybe that’s not as important right now as winter weather safety, but it’s still interesting. Kind of.

Pet Show – Pitt Boss star Ronald Lee Clark!
Listen to Pet Show! We are joined by Ronald Lee Clark, one of the stars of the new Animal Planet series Pitt Boss.
Clark is originally from South Korea, but he was adopted by an American family. He grew up in Choctaw and moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. He met Shorty Rossi and joined his team at Shortywood, a performing agency for little people. Though Clark is a booking assistant, he doesn’t just workin the entertainment industry. He helps Rossi with his side project – a pit bull rescue. Clark tells us he’s always been an animal advocate, but this job has given him a new appreciation for pits.
The show debuts Jan. 16 on Animal Planet. Check our local listings here.
