These dog podcasts are all about dogs! We’ll talk about dogs large, small and in between; purebred dogs, designer dogs and mixed breeds. When we discuss breeds and mixes, we’ll take a look at what constitutes a breed or a mix; and the traits of some specific breeds. We’ll also take a look at how you can choose the right breed and dog for your family. We will also talk about the joys (and hassles) of living with a dog because when we share our lives with dogs, we are bringing another species into our home and there are often misunderstandings and miscommunications... on Pet Life Radio.

These dogs are SO funny I couldn’t help but laugh and I spit up my coffee all over my boss’s wife’s lap at the company Christmas party just thinking about it. This podcast is definitely awesome if you want to hear CRAzY stories about good boys (dogs) on their worst of all behaviors. Sometimes they bark at other guys or growl at cats on the street. I heard of one one time that actually bit a guy in his privates. I bet that tasted so gross for the good boy (Dog).

Anyways- I always listen to this and it gives me crazy ideas and feelings

Oh Yeah

Doggy
