You’ll probably notice that Audi’s pretty nervous for his visit to the Morning Show. As a matter of fact, he spent most of his live appearance wailing inconsolably in Emily Welker’s arms, trying to hide his pretty face from the camera. As it turns out, it’s the first in a long line of examples of why Audi’s a cat of…
We’ve got another Pet Connection success story to share with you this morning. Pete and Repeat visited us two weeks ago. They are a bonded pair of budgies who were looking for a new home together. Bonded budgies don’t do well if they’re separated, so it was important someone took them both in. Well, a week later they found…
We have a Pet Connection success story to share this morning. A bird and a young boy found the perfect match in each other. We met Diego the parrot almost exactly a year ago at C.A.A.R.E. in West Fargo. Shortly after that, the Leopold family adopted him, and he quickly warmed up to the family’s 12-year-old son, Isaac. The…
Whether you call it “pouncing,” or jumping up, it can be a divisive issue for dog owners. Some love it and encourage it in their pets. And some can’t stand it and work hard to rid their dogs of the habit. But when it comes to Mufasa, a six-month-old puppy, it’s hard to resist his pouncing. He’s just that cute….
If you’re thinking about becoming a first-time bird owner, these might be the birds for you. Carrie Leopold and her son Isaac from C.A.A.R.E. are introducing us to Peat and Repeat this morning. They are a bonded pair of budgies. Budgies are wonderful starter birds. They’re small, and they’re relatively quiet. They can live quite nicely in apartments. Budgies…
Waffles the English Pointer may be 77 in dog years, but he can still sweep a lady right off her feet. Literally, in the case of the Morning Show’s Emily Welker. Waffles came in to the studio with Homeward Animal Shelter’s Heather Klefstad to talk about adopting a senior dog and why in many ways it’s just as much fun…
Ruby was scooped up off the street by the rescue workers at Diamond in the Ruff, and since then she’s been a busy girl. Now that she’s left her days as a stray behind, the springer spaniel/lab cross has donned a pretty collar, had her toenails painted pink, had her arthritis medicated, and in general, has spent her time “being…
Peeps is the kind of company that, unlike her namesake sugar-covered marshmallow treat, will never get stale. She came in around the Easter holiday as an owner surrender to the rescue workers at 4 Luv of Dog, and the ten-month-old shepherd mix already has the manners, self-possession and calm of a much, much older dog. She already knows commands like…
A diva flies in for this week’s Pet Connection. Peaches is a female Moluccan Cockatoo. That is the largest breed of cockatoo, and her personality lives up to her size. Our friends at C.A.A.R.E. thinks she’s a little over 10 years old. Birds like her can live 70+ years. She loves to be the center of attention. Peaches loves…
We have a flock of birds joining us for Pet Connection this week. C.A.A.R.E. volunteer Kassie Dotzler brought four budgies to share with us. Budgies are an ideal bird for an inexperienced bird owner. They only live five to ten years when larger parrots can have the same lifespan as the average human. They’re relatively quiet, which means they’re…
