Dad’s New Date with Scott Plate
As a storyteller, and an accidental journalist, it’s easy to find stories that grab me, but they don’t always fully satisfy my curiosity. Sometimes the stories I discover were never written down, and sometimes they’re just short online posts that just fill me up with more questions than they answer. When I found Seamus’s story, though, I soon realized that… Listen to Seamus’ story right here.

How Three Weiner Dogs Found a BUNdle of Love
Hi Rebekah, my name is Amy Dalton and I would like to tell you the story of my 3 rescue dachshunds. I grew up with labs and golden retrievers, but one day I got a dachshund puppy, rescued one from a gentleman living in a single-wide trailer.

Digging into the Dog Industry with Kim Kavin
I found today’s guest, Kim Kavin, with a simple search at my local library. I searched “rescue dog” and a book popped up with the most adorable face on the cover. He had floppy ears, big brown eyes, and he was the same bluish brindle color that always fascinated me about my own dog. I checked out Little Boy Blue right away, and I knew, well before I had finished reading, that I would be getting in touch with Blue’s mom… Listen in to our conversation
