Surprise! It’s a Doggie Club-sneak-attack Thursday episode. In this interview I talk with Gabby about her pocket-sized Pittie rescue Velma. We discuss living so close to the beach (jealous), and how far Velma has come since her early days. This is not an episode you want to miss!
Join us this week as we talk to Hannah about Lilly Bug, a rescued Pittie from Texas. Not too much is known of her early days, but we learn quickly from our interview that this pup walked into the right family's life the day she was found. Hannah and her husband Chris took on the responsibility of being Lilly's caregivers, as a pair of newlyweds, with no immediate plans of growing their family. This decision however, turned into something amazing that is best seen on their Instagram page, or heard here in our conversation. I hope you enjoy listening to this episode and much as I enjoyed making it!

Just in time for Halloween its... Pumpkin!!! To round up our episode-packed first week ever, its Pumpkin the Petworth Pitbull. I chat with Alicia Mathis about Pumpkin's incredible story, starting out literally in the alleys of D.C., to her life now, on a small island up north. Safe to say she's seen more in her first year on Earth than anyone would ever hope for. Luckily she found Alicia early on, and now that she is healthy, things are looking up for this little Pittie.
