A Hero Named Awareness...A special bonus episode to kick off Season 2 of Hairy Hero Tails, animals to the rescue... Host Kim Hegel shares the personal and unexpected experience she had just after Season 1 ended when she said goodbye to her "mostly" Pomeranian co-host, Henry.  In this update - there's key information for listeners to know what to expect and what to make sure to ask your vet.  The experience of Henry's passing was unusual and unnecessary.  Kim wasn't prepared.  This episode is to offer a point of view so everyone is informed & prepared so an already painful situation isn't made worse.
