Okay, y'all. Here's one I owe to Ms. Vicki for "suggesting" I send a copy of
Almost Perfect to Steve Dale, longtime pet champion, now at Chicago's WLS radio station. Apparently, he dug it, because I got a call today asking if I'd do an interview about the book today at noon CST. Gee, I think I could manage that...
Steve Dale
For those of you not familiar with Steve's show, it's called
PetWorld Radio, and it's VERY popular. Steve hosts this one-hour weekly talk show, syndicated to over 65 stations throughout the U.S. and Canada. During this fun and informative hour, Steve chats with leading pet book authors during his "Pick of the Litter" segment. (
Wow -- I'm a leading pet author -- woo hoo!)
He also talks with veterinarians about issues that affect the quality of life of our furry family members. Most importantly, Steve helps listeners with pet issues from cats missing litter boxes, to dogs that are too anxious to be left alone. Steve's compassion for animals is legendary and he wants your pets and you to have a happy home.
Regular features include "Real People, Real Pets" which involves Steve chatting up regular folks on the street with irregular questions about their pets, and "Vets on Pets," the only radio segment officialy endorsed by the AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association). And each week, he travels the globe to bring you the latest and strangest "Animal News" segment.
Steve just joined WLS 890 AM in Chicago with his show. "Steve Dale's Pet World" airs at 2 p.m. Saturday, with an additional hour available on-demand at wlsam.com.
He says we'll be chatting for about 15 minutes, so hope you can listen in. I'm flattered to be invited.
