PUPPIES! ... or not?
Saison 6 · Épisode 6
vendredi 29 août 2025 • Durée 10:23
Puppies are great, right? Who wouldn't want a puppy?
Well, I wouldn't. I'm talking the pros and cons of puppies this time around.

The Importance of Trusting Your Gut
Saison 6 · Épisode 5
jeudi 14 août 2025 • Durée 11:38
On this episode, I’m talking about the importance of picking the right people for you and your dog. And the importance of trusting your gut.

The Importance of Being a Dog
Saison 5 · Épisode 11
jeudi 26 décembre 2024 • Durée 16:07
Merry everything!
Sometimes dogs need help learning how to dog. What does that mean? Well, basically, it is that sometimes, dogs need to figure out how to simply function in the world. And that’s what I’m talking about in this episode. People don’t realize that it can be hard for dogs to just be dogs in this world and that they have to learn how to exist and if they don’t, it can lead to a lifetime of problems.
By the way, the pod's taking a brief New Year break and the next episode is scheduled to be out January 23. That said, if I feel ambitious, I might make it earlier. No promises, though.

Pets as gifts? Probably not.
Saison 5 · Épisode 10
jeudi 12 décembre 2024 • Durée 12:42
Happy holidays, everyone! We're gettin' festive on Hound Opinions this time around.
This is a gift-giving time of year and for families that are looking to add a pup to their home, it seems like the perfect time to do it. Spoiler alert – It’s not. Spoiler alert part 2 – It’s actually a lot more nuanced than that and I’ll get into it in the episode. Spoiler alert part 3 – I’m not going to tell you outright to not get a pet as a gift for your family. So if you’re planning to do it, you have my blessing. Just please listen to this episode before you do.
Also, I talk about the Daveed Diggs masterwork "Puppy For Hanukkah" at the top of the show. Here's a link to it on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbxyZAduGvY

Lap of Love/Veterinary Hospice
Saison 5 · Épisode 9
jeudi 14 novembre 2024 • Durée 55:15
Trigger warning: Lots of talk of pet death.
Ok, y'all. It's gonna be heavy today. We’re talking about veterinary hospice and euthanasia. Specifically, we’re talking about a branch of veterinary medicine that helps people make the ends of their beloved pets’ lives as smooth and painless as possible.
My guest is Dr. Amy Myers. She’s a hospice veterinarian with Lap of Love, which provides veterinary hospice care and in-home euthanasia in the Chicagoland area. I actually used Lap of Love when we made the decision to help Chester pass back in June and Dr. Myers was the person who came to the house. So this one’s personal for me.
Like I said, it's going to be heavy. So strap in.
Quick note: Since two weeks from today is a holiday, the pod's taking a short break. We'll be back with a new episode on December 12.

All About Decompression
Saison 5 · Épisode 8
jeudi 31 octobre 2024 • Durée 14:13
Decompression is incredibly important for your dog's mental and physical health. But what is it exactly? And when does a dog need to decompress? And how do you help a dog decompress?
I get into all of that in this episode, so sit back and enjoy!
Quick note – this episode drops on Thursday, October 31. Happy Halloween, by the way. But more importantly, there’s a very important election in just five days. If you haven’t voted yet, get out there and cast your ballot. And don’t stop at voting in the major races. Your vote in the down-ballot races can have very direct impacts on you and your family. And don’t skip the judge races and judicial retention questions, either. Injustice Watch creates a great guide to judicial races in Cook County, so if you’re in Chicagoland, check it out, along with the Girl, I Guess guide for the non-judicial races. Outside of Illinois, you can go to sites like votesaveamerica.com for resources.
However you do your research, get out there and make your voice heard!

The Importance of Pet Dental Health
Saison 5 · Épisode 7
jeudi 17 octobre 2024 • Durée 39:10
Sorry for the delay. But I think the wait will be worth it.
On the pod with me this time is Dr. Matt Lemmons, DVM and we dive into the world of pet dental health. We talk about why it's so important and why you can't neglect it.
Matt's a veterinary dentist at MedVet in Indianapolis and a Diplomate of the American Veterinary Dental College. He’s been a practicing veterinary dentist since 2007 and was board certified by the American Veterinary Dental College in 2008. He also consults for the Veterinary Information Network and is a visiting instructor at Purdue University.

Even more of Eris' foster tales
Saison 5 · Épisode 6
jeudi 26 septembre 2024 • Durée 13:16
This time around, I’m talking about one of the hard parts of fostering – letting go when it's time for your foster to leave you. It's gonna be a bit emotional ... again.
DON'T FORGET: I want to answer YOUR training and behavior questions on the pod. And I want to play your voices asking those questions. You've got two options:
- Use your audio recording app of choice to record yourself asking a training or behavior question and email it to podcast@bigwagschicago.com. I will then play it on the pod and answer it.
- You can actually jump on a recording session with me and we'll go over your question together. That'll let me ask you follow-up questions and really dig deep into the issue. If that's the route you want to go, shoot me a quick email at podcast@bigwagschicago.com.

Eris' Foster Adventures Part Deux
Saison 5 · Épisode 5
jeudi 12 septembre 2024 • Durée 13:19
Well, y'all, it happened again! My family and I became foster parents! We're fostering a husky named Damien for Anti-Cruelty here in Chicago.
The cool thing about fostering is that you always learn something new and unexpected. And that's what I'm going to be talking about this time around. In just a short time, Damien's shown me so much about myself, himself and Bodhi. And it's been quite lovely to see.

The right to pet guardianship: A vaguely anti-capitalist screed
Saison 5 · Épisode 4
jeudi 22 août 2024 • Durée 09:29
Strap in, folx. We're getting political this time around.
One of my biggest pet peeves is the fact that pet guardianship is getting more and more expensive. Money shouldn't be an impediment to it. Unfortunately, I'm also part of the problem.
So what can we do about it? Well, I put forward at least one idea in this episode, but mostly I talk about how our capitalist way of life is making it so that having a pet is increasingly difficult except for the well-moneyed among us.
