    Ep 47 - Ryan of Not That Ryan Reynolds YouTube Channel shares how Carson’s personality is larger than life!

    Ep 47 - Ryan of Not That Ryan Reynolds YouTube Channel shares how Carson’s personality is larger than life!

    This episode:
    Carson an Akita mix is the long awaited best friend of Ryan.  He’s 3 years old now and was adopted at 7 months.   His work ethic for toys is awesome and so fun to hear about. 
    At the time of interview Ryan was up in Canada staying with family up there so you’ll hear about snow and their van life trip from Texas to Canada.  I think what I love most about Ryan’s interview is the detail and humor shared with us that undeniably shows how loved and appreciate sweet Carson is!  The descriptions and the personification of Carson is so comical and so Ryan.  I can’t tell you how much I’ve enjoyed getting to know Ryan since last June and I hope you will go to watch the super helpful video’s on Ryan’s YouTube channel called Not that Ryan Reynolds.

    Ep 45 - Kent and his Border Collies work together to re-home wild geese

    Ep 45 - Kent and his Border Collies work together to re-home wild geese

    Today’s stories come from Kent of Goosemasters and Kuykendall Border Collies.  Kent has worked with dogs since the age of 2.  No exaggerating there!  Most of the stories are about Border Collies but he has had many other breeds in his life as well.  I hope to share those stories another time.

    At the end of the episode, I share the three most downloaded shows so far.

Heartfelt

Emily has such a big heart and ability to bring each dogs story to life. Dogs share so much with us more than just being a dog and what a fun way to hear what other people learn. Thank you Emily for sharing and I can’t wait to hear more. - Tyler
