Great podcast! I am the President of Muttley’s Maid and a member of APAWS as well. I just wanted to add - yes - dogs WILL eat anything. I have personally found a silver and gold bracelet with 4-1/2 carats of gemstones as well as various wedding bands, rings, and coins in dog waste. Sick but true. The bracelet appraised out at over $500.00 and no one claimed it in 5 years. Go figure! :o)
Thanks, Leslie! I see that Muttley’s services beautiful Boulder. My dogs would LOVE to be Mile-High mutts.
I’m wondering where the dogowners you mention buy their dog food — the jewelry store?
I’m not really sure! I think these items were probably thought of as desserts. The bracelet was found on a commercial property in Boulder that mainly houses college students and I find that the dogs that live there appear to be living on a mainstay of pizza, peanuts and beer.
Ah yes, the dietary staples of college life.
Poopie Puppies comes every Friday to clean up Bud’s poo, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! It’s great to know we can have friends over to enjoy the backyard on the weekends, and we don’t have to worry about them stepping in it. I’d highly recommend this service! It will cause a lot less fights in the household over who’s going to scoop the poo.
Just to clarify, Bud is a dog, not Kristy’s significant other
There aren’t any fights about who scoops at my house: when my wife married me, she apparently assumed that my amazing scooping abilities would always take care of our dogs’ business. I’ve yet to argue against that point effectively…
I have found my calling. Turd herder for life!
Nice website!!
