John's dedication to the cause and the celebration of the human element in animal welfare shine through, stirring a dialogue on the ripple effects of positive human-animal relationships across cultural divides. Wrapping up our exploration, we delve into the intricacies of dog training and the pivotal role of education and empathy in nurturing human-canine relationships.

Send us a text Taking care of our pets is something most pet parents take great pride in; however, we don’t always plan for the “what if’s”. Thinking about what would happen to our pets if we were no longer able to care for them is SO important. Yet, no one wants to think about death and dying, but if something happened to you and you were in the hospital or worse, who will care for your pets? I, Julie Marty-Pearson, dive into this topic with my friend, fellow podcaster, and Fur Mom Rebecca Johnson. Rebecca shares her heartfelt journey through the loss of her husband and the subsequent intertwining of joy and challenge with her canine companions mirrors the complex bond we all share with our pets. As we unraveled Rebecca's story, we were reminded of the individual personalities pets have, how they align with ours, and the importance of cherishing these connections, especially during life's unexpected turns. This episode transcends mere pet tales, touching upon the profound topic of pet contingency planning, a subject close to Rebecca’s heart given her own battle with cancer. She opens up about her own arrangements for her dogs, Vegas and Caroline, fostering an important conversation about securing our pets' futures. We advocate for recognizing the value of rescue animals as integral parts of our families, hoping to inspire listeners to consider the well-being of their four-legged friends in times of change. Rebecca's experiences, combined with my personal insights, underscore the emotional depths of our pets and the need for thoughtful stewardship of their lives when they too face loss and upheaval. Rebecca Johnson is the vibrant voice behind 'Love is Not Dead, Just My Husband,' a podcast crafted to uplift and empower widows on their unique paths of healing and rediscovery. As a widow herself, Rebecca has faced some of life's toughest challenges with unwavering resilience, including overcoming multiple losses and living with an incurable cancer. Through her podcast, Rebecca weaves personal triumphs with heartfelt stories, diving into the transformative journey of widowhood finding joy in life and loss.

Send us a text Host, Julie Marty-Pearson, often says our pets find us, and that isn't truer than for guest Tenny Minassian. Tenny's adopted canine companion, Lucy, inspired not only a profound personal transformation but also a children's book, "Lucy Goes to the Gentle Barn." Her tale is one of convincing traditional parents to open their home to a family pet, leading to an adventure of love and life lessons that resonate with any heart that has felt the warmth of a furry friend. Lucy’s tripe to real-world sanctuary The Gentle Barn, illustrates many important lessons we can all learn from animals. What begins with the adoption of a pet often leads to unexpected personal revelations. For Tenny, it was the inspiration to embrace a vegan lifestyle. Walking through her transformation and the role of a vegan coach, she offers insights into the challenges and rewards of a plant-based life, from giving up cheese to navigating new ethical choices. Touching on mental health, societal pressures, and the readiness for change, the conversation underscores the profound impact of pet adoption on personal growth and the broader choice to rescue over breeding. Join us for an episode that promises laughter, inspiration, and an invitation to live more consciously with kindness at its heart. Tenny Minassian is a vegan lifestyle coach and author based in Los Angeles. She's an Armenian-American and came to the U.S. as a refugee with her family from Iran. Her favorite role is being Lucy's dog-mom and going on adventures together! She's excited to share her debut children's book, Lucy Goes to The Gentle Barn.

Teresa Adamo and Jennifer Williams-Cordova, children's book authors with a knack for capturing the essence of these moments, join me for a conversation that's sure to inspire. Their tales, born from the companionship of pets like Indy, weave a tapestry of creativity and community spirit that finds a home in the hearts of families far and wide. Bakersfield, California, isn't just a backdrop for Teresa and Jennifer's stories; it's a character in itself, echoing through the pages with the historic Bakersfield Sound music. Our discussion takes a stroll through the vibrant streets of pet personalities and the melodies that define a culture, all while celebrating the power of indie publishing. This creative duo has crafted not only storybooks but an entire universe where coloring meets activity books, inviting young minds to explore and adults to reminisce. Ending on a note that's as warm as a puppy's nuzzle, we reflect on the impact stories can have on advocating for shelter animals and responsible pet ownership. The echo of a child naming their new four-legged friend after a beloved character is a testament to the reach and heart of Teresa and Jennifer's work.
