Changing the world one animal at a time.
Welcome to a new segment on The Pawz Cauze called Pawz Applauze! This is where I acknowledge selfless people and/or organizations who work on behalf of the animals to help save the world one animal at a time.
This week’s Pawz Applauze goes to Connie Hodge and Kitty-Korner based out of the Clare/Harrison, Michigan area. We give Connie and Kitty-Korner 4 pawz up for a job well done! Thanks Connie!!!!
I had the pleasure of interviewing one of America’s top pet radio show hosts, Jon Patch from Talkin’ Pets! He is incredibly nice and funny with a wonderful personality. I had a great time. This is a fast moving show as we discussed so many topics from his show to our opinions on Breed Specific Legislation. Jon gave us some great references to some sites where you can help animals by getting involved. So be sure to have a pen and paper handy while listening! I am going to make you listen to get all the great information……hehehehe.
my new friend, Jon Patch.
Many of the sites referred to in the show are friends of Jon whom he has interviewed in the past. One of those sites I promised you we would have a link to since neither Jon or I could remember the exact link. It is to the organization that Bob Barker founded in honor of his late wife and mother. The name of the organization is DJ & T Foundation.
If you can’t catch Jon’s 3 hour show live on Saturday nights, you can catch it streaming on All Pet’s Radio. Please check their listing for dates and times. You can also catch archived shows by visiting the Talkin’ Pets website and clicking on the link provided.
I hope you have as much fun listening to our show as Jon and I had recording it for you! Thank you so much for listening.
Our sponsor for this week’s show is Leigh Foster Originals where she specializes in Pet and Family Remembrance Stones for the garden. Each garden stone is a handmade, hand painted and hand sealed original and no 2 stones will ever be identical (unless ordered that way from the buyer). Leigh puts love and care into every stone she creates with the outcome being magnificent. You must see them to believe them. All of her garden stones are 100% weatherproof including rain, salt, snow, sleet, and are resistant to most chemicals for lasting beauty. Each stone comes with a care letter to help extend the life of the stone.
This is Leigh Foster asking you to help eliminate animal abuse. For Mercy’s sake, please call 911 to report all cases of animal abuse and/or neglect. If you have not signed Mercy’s Law, please do so by visiting my web site, Foster’s Forum, and clicking on the Mercy’s Law logo. Thank you for your support!

What another exciting show here on The Pawz Cauze! Since I do not wish to offend anyone, I must let you know that if you feel that animal communication is a metaphysical subject, then you may not wish to listen or download this podcast. My special guest was Animal Whisperer (Leta) and we discussed a variety of ways you can communicate with animals.
If you need Leta’s assistance with communicating with your animal, please visit her web site for more information (her site is still under construction but should be finished very soon), or email her at daveta5@yahoo.com and let her know you found her via this podcast.
Now, please keep in mind that I am still learning how to edit shows. You have to really listen to hear Leta as she speaks very softly next to my boisterous voice! There is also supposed to be a video that accompanies this podcast, however, I am currently having sound and editing difficulties with that as well. I will add the video as soon as I can figure out all the editing tricks. I will continue to work on the sound for this podcast and will replace it with a better copy as soon as I learn all these editing tricks as well.
Here are photos of my sidekicks for this week:
Dakri and Leta:
Mirage, Leta and Excalibur:
Excalibur and Leta (in their Search & Rescue gear):
Now those are some good looking German Shepherds!
Our sponsor for this week is Foster’s Forum and their line of Animal Gemstones. Here is a photo of Excalibur sporting a few of their stones on his collar:
Each stone is hand crafted for your pet (or human) and comes packed in sea salt and sage for cleansing so it is ready to wear. Accompaning each stone is an information card about that stone and how to cleanse it. Check out their web site for more information. The even have special cat toys with gemstones inside!

How can an animal abuse case that happened in Dallas, Texas impact the entire World? All you have to do is look at the photo of Mercy and see her eyes to find your answer. Jonnie England, Executive Director of Operation Kindness was our special guest to discuss Mercy’s story in graphic detail (it wasn’t too bad, but you may still need a box of tissues to make it through this show! I know I did!).
These eyes have been an inspiration to thousands upon thousands of people whom have vowed to NEVER let her memory die, or her death to be in vein. I am one of those people and this podcast is a reflection of one of those promises.
Maria Daines is another person who was so touched by Mercy and her story that Maria wrote one of the most beautiful haunting songs in honor of Mercy that I have ever heard. The name of the song is Rainbow Bridge and if this podcast doesn’t make you cry, her song sure will. Thank you Maria for such a beautiful song from your heart! The video that accompanies the song was masterfully put together and is a wonderful compliment to the song.
Larry Powell was also mentioned by Jonnie England during the interview as another soul touched deeply by Mercy’s story. Larry did extensive blogging on behalf of Mercy and Operation Kindness. I went to his site and was extremely impressed with the hard work this man does to help the animals!
Photographers, painters, artists, bloggers, writers, journalists, reporters, song writers, singers, podcasters, the list of lives touched by these eyes goes on and on and on! I was so touched by her story that I not only started this podcast to help spread the word on animal abuse, but I also created a beautiful memorial garden stone in her honor for Operation Kindness.
The stone I kept for myself:
The stone I sent to Operation Kindness:
I know I promised that her graphic photos would be on this site, but I have since decided that I would simply place a link to those photos so you can view them when you are ready. I must say, to really understand what this dog endured, you really must take a look at the photos. However, here is a photo you need to memorize as it is the face of a cold-blooded killer, Deshawn Brown and his innocent victim, Mercy:

I had the extreme pleasure of having Tammy Grimes founder of Dogs Deserve Better as my special guest today. Did you know that Tammy Grimes LOVES cats or that she was also in the Air Force? I didn’t until we began chatting away and these things came up completely out of the blue (ok, with a little coaxing from me). She also takes care of two feral cats that live outside. Now that is my kind of person!
Here is an outline of the things we discussed:
This show is packed full of great information and lots of rumor “debunking”. I certainly hope you get a chance to “tune in”! Thank you so much for listening!
