No. 219.5: Holiday Edition!

It's not just the holiday season, it’s also time for final exams for college students across the nation. In Orange, Calif., the Active Minds Club came up with a fun and furry way to alleviate some of their academic stress, they brought in puppies for students to play with in the quad area near the library and main class buildings. One of the project’s organizers, sophomore Jimbo Rozzano, explains the program, called “Furry Friends for Finals.”Plus, Emily provides a list of very helpful tips for pet safety around holiday time and talks about her visit to the Marine Mammals Center in Sausalito, Calif. (See Episode #41 for an interview with Jim Oswald from the Center.) And Steve, who brought in a pair of awful cute guests to the studio, is surprised that doggie life preservers and dog-sledding in Washington State exist.Web: ThePetcast.ComE-mail: [email protected]: @ThePetcast
