Musings from Warren Eckstein & The Pet Show

THE PET SHOW BLOG

Welcome to the beginning of what will become the largest Pet blog in America.

So why a pet blog now? It occurred to me that after every radio show, every television show and every appearance I make, that there is never enough time to talk about all of the issues that affect our pets. The blog will allow me not only to get more information out to the pet-loving public, but also to get important feedback as to what you want to hear. It’s clear, therefore, that you my audience are an integral part of this blog. I will be sharing pet advice -- some serious and some fun. I will keep you updated on the latest happenings in the pet world and the humane community. The Pet Show blog will also give you the ability to interact with each other about just how important your pets are in your lives and share smiles and tears with each other.

I’m an early riser and on Sunday (Fathers Day), I woke up early and made my famous coffee which, of course, no one in the house would drink except for me. As I do every morning, I sat out in the yard watching Skyler and Cisko chase each other and make sure that their were no insurgent squirrels in the yard. I spend a lot of time talking to Skyler and Cisko and it occurred to me that many pet owners miss out by not having conversations with their pets. People often wonder why their pets pester them whenever they are on the telephone. Our pets don’t understand that you can talk to someone who is not in the room with you, so when they hear you and nobody else is around, they assume you are talking to them.

To most animals, high-pitched sounds mean praise and excitement; low-pitched ones reflect authority and anger. If you want to get your message across to your pet, vary the pitch of your voice. Remember, the more time you spend talking to your pet, the larger their vocabulary becomes. So Gab Away.

I would love to hear about some of the conversations you have with your pets.

How about some input on what you what like to see on my blog?
