Can I Pet Your Dog?

We begin this week by remembering to not forget that labor day is coming! Will Renee and Alexis make it to the pool with the dogs this year? Still to be determined! In CrikCrumBoat, Tugboat has spurred an unusual text and Cricket and Crumb are growling in unusual ways! We've got a home-run My Mutt Minute from Lee and their friend's dog Nessie. Plus, we've got a gift in guest form, the absolutely wonderful Katya Lidsky host of the brand new podcast The Animal That Changed You joins us and tells us all about her dog Ophelia and her experience as a volunteer. Tune in!
