The DOGgone Truth Podcast

Repost from 2018, Season 1, Episode #19. This episode is near and dear to my heart as it is all about the day we lost our special Neapolitan Mastiff Shadrach who was so instrumental in this work in natural animal health. In fact, without him I'm not sure I would have done this. What a special boy and is forever missed until we are reunited in eternity. I also share in this episode how hospice is also possible for our animals and ought to be so.

This is Episode #54, Repost from 2019, Season 1.  This is a 5-part series from a Lunch 'n' Learn I did back in 2014 to a crowd that was definitely interested in learning how to care for their dogs proactively, naturally according to their species needs - evergreen material. So join me as I added to this and broke it down a bit more for a 5-part series into natural dog health and wellness. This is Part 5, the Conclusion. Photo featuring my two beauties, King (American Bully), Schatzie  (Carolina Dog - deceased January 10, 2019).

Episode #50, Repost from 2019, Season 1. We're continuing on with this 5-part series, this is Part Two. In this one I share more on why dogs (all animals) need to be fed their species appropriate nutrition in order to be healthy - regardless of who says otherwise. Dig deep as I suggest in this episode to learn the TRUTH. I also go into some details on toxins that prohibit their good health. This is just a sampling:

“Dogs and cats often eat food processing and packaging chemicals that contaminate their food, day after day and year after year, resulting in cumulative exposures with unknown health risks (FDA CVM 2008b).”

Repost, Episode 86, Season 2, September 23, 2019. This time I get to share my wonderful friend, Kathy Lacey with you and her journey into caring for her own animals naturally.  We talk about how we met, how she learned to help ALL her animals, and the steps it took for her to get to where she is now. I hope this encourages those of you who think it's easy for practitioners since this is what we do as a profession, but hard for the everyday pet owner to do this - Kathy lays that to rest to prove it's possible!

You can find Kathy on Instagram @kathylacey.333 and also on FB under her name. 

Here are some links to what we mention during this episode that I promised I'd share:

Episode 76, Repost from July 20, 2019, Season 2. This episode was done in my hotel room at the Young Living Convention in UT with two great friends (Wendy Lovas & Breanne Altherr) who also happen to be graduates of the school in animal naturopathy my colleague Dr. Jeannie and I founded and ran for 8 years. This episode is all about us learning to grow together and even while we may have varying opinions and even beliefs, we are able to be good friends and actually have a discussion on how to move forward with the best care for our animals. I hope you enjoy listening in to our late night conversation sitting on my bed lol, discussing some of our favorite topics: animals, natural health, and oils!

Repost from 2019, Episode #69, Season 2. This time I talk about the things that could be further causing our dogs to still "get" sick, even when we're doing all the right things with them: carnivore nutrition, reducing the toxins, etc. 

Resources I mention:

Repost from March 2019, Episode #59, Season 2. It's interesting that I recorded this a full year before all hell literally broke loose on this planet. I already knew what was coming because I had a great veterinarian friend share his immense wisdom with me years before in 2009. He didn't live to see this, but I'm glad he prepared me...God just took it SO much deeper, wider, and higher as only He can do. 

Quotes & a couple of the resources mentioned - the rest remain unnamed due to the times we are living in:

Repost from 2019, Season 2, Episode #80. This is another audio from my former podcast with my colleague/co-host Dr. Jeannie, we go into more of the solutions this time. This is Part 2 of a 2 part series. Learning to trust for health, rather than fear disease.

Repost from 2019, Season 2, Episode #79. This is another audio from my former podcast, but it is more timely than ever now. This is Part 1 of a 2 part series. Learning to trust for health, rather than fear disease. 

Resources:

Repost from Season 2, 2019, Episode #68  - originally recorded in 2017. This was recorded with my former co-host, colleague, business partner and BFF, Dr. Jeannie Thomason on our former podcast. This ties in to the last few episodes, especially since they were all originally released in 2019. 

Side note - the reason I'm reposting from Seasons 1-2 is that none of those episodes transferred when I moved hosting. Those were pivotal in helping listeners learn what is natural, whole health aka naturopathy. In this episode, we go into the differences between practitioners. 

Repost from Season 2, 2019, Episode #66. This time I go into a lot of the reasons why using these type of products really just isn't wise. In the long run, they cause so much damage to us, our animals and the planet in general. What you may not know, but after these last two years our eyes really ought to be opened by now - this has ALL (and I mean ALL) been by design and planned. Call me a conspiracy theorist and I'll tell you that the difference between a conspiracy theory and conspiracy TRUTH is about 6 months. 

Here are some links to help you in your journey of learning the truth:

Repost from Season 1, 2018, Episode #18. This was another of the last episodes I did with my former colleague, business partner, co-host and BFF. We loved talking about this subject together - even though I always did most of the talking on the podcast, she inspired me just with her presence. This is a more passionate episode as a result and it has encouraged me to move forward with what she and started so many years ago together. Even though she's no longer on this earth, she is definitely cheering me on from heaven and I'm fully partnered with God now so it's an exciting time - we shall see where this all leads. I hope you gain value and enjoy this episode. 

Repost from 2018, Episode #41. This is a short but intense episode as my heart was breaking into pieces knowing that our Carolina Dog girl, Schatzie was making that trek we all must take one day. I titled this "broken dogs" but in reality they were whole in ways we aspire to! Here are some links on the dogs I mention:

Repost, August 22, 2018 (actually originally recorded in 2016), Episode #7. This is a short and funny espisode about our American Bully King who is now 10 1/2 years old! So he isn't so into zoomies anymore but once in a while he gets going and it's still very funny. He also still plays the howling game I share in this episode. Plus, does this funny bark that I taught him to do by repeating it every time my husband comes home from somewhere. He sounds very much like he's saying, "Where were you?" I have video proof lol. 

Once a friend was here cutting my hair and brought her daughter to visit. They didn't believe King could speak English hahaha. We had him in the bedroom with a gate up so my husband could take them to meet 'n' greet him. He asked clearly if he could come out and my husband Donnie said the faces of my friend and her daughter showed their astonishment LOL. Donnie told King he couldn't come out and he then replied, "How come?" And that's when the two REALLY lost it hahaha! King's quite the character - funny, kind, lovable, strong, brave and also very considerate not to mention so dang smart! We're blessed to have him grace our home!

Repost from 2018, Episode #27. This completes this latest series on food but that doesn't mean I won't have any more to add to this haha! This time we focus on one of the laws of health that is most often either overlooked or ignored: REST. Rest as in good sleep yes, quiet, no EMF interrupting devices, lights, etc. However, it also means rest from food. Allowing the digestion to rest so the body can heal and restore itself.

Repost, Episode #40, December 2018. This episode may upset people, but truth often does. You see, this was recorded BEFORE all that has gone down the last two years, but it sure is timely for now. It's something I've taught along with my colleague/former co-host & business partner, who sadly passed away in March, since 2004. Yet, somehow we've arrived at this time in history where nothing is as it appears. 

There is an old quote that goes something like this: "The truth is still the truth even if no one believes it; a lie is still a lie even if everyone believes it." 

Repost, Episode #29, from October 23, 2018. Re-listening to these for me brought me back to my original passion for blogging and podcasting - for them. For the animals. For their needs. For their health and well-being. This episode is all about that exact thing!

This is a repost from Season 1, Episode #48, 2019. This is the story of how both my American Bully King, and my first Carolina Dog, Schatzie came to live with us and how I nearly lost BOTH of them on the same day! Additionally we were waiting on a new Great Dane puppy we were going to name Ezra due to the loss of our former Great Dane Meshach. This was back in 2013. Interestingly enough we eventually DID get an Ezra in 2019, but he came in the form of a very wild and cantankerous Carolina Dog puppy rather than a Great Dane. This story is one of redemption, forgiveness, and fresh starts!

"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." ~Romans 8:28, NKJV

This is a repost from Season 1, Episode #26, originally recorded in 2016 on another podcast I had. This is all about how my amazing American Bully dog, King, helped me go from a bad attitude to a positively Bubby one (that's his nickname lol). I also share the MANY essential oil blends I used to actually help ME since it was because of King I was able to see where I needed some adjustments. 

Sidenote: I know that it's far better to receive the whole new creation I have in Christ than try to fix my old nature, but this episode is part of my journey and I hope it helps you as it did me.

This is episode 9, Season 1 - repost from 2018 as that year is no longer available here.  This is Part 2 of this 3 part series. This time I go into what I believe to be nonsense about the species needs of dogs - the thing is, each dog IS unique and does have unique needs or quirks as does each being on this planet. However, that said, dogs are still carnivores no matter what and we can't decide to make them be whatever we want just because we want that. In fact that seems to be a big issue in society today - basing our beliefs upon what we WANT them to be rather than on TRUTH. Part 1 is The Correct Nutrition. Part 3 is Focus on Health. If this hits a nerve, then good because that's what it took for me as well.

This is episode 8, Season 1 - repost from 2018 as that year is no longer available here. LOL sounds like I was a bit amped up on this three part series. This is part one, even though the title on each episode of this series is different, they all tie in together. Part 2 is The Dog in Front of You. Part 3 is Focus on Health. If this hits a nerve, then good because that's what it took for me as well.

REPOST Episode #5, from Season 1. This episode is funny story with me and my "doodle bug", my American Bully dog, King. Hope it makes you smile! 

This is a repost of Season 1, Episode 2 from 2018, that didn't make it to the transition over here. This episode is about a derogatory term I was called as a child and how I turned it around. I I helped a friend do likewise - she sadly passed away in 2019 but she owned this concept totally. I hope this encourages you during a time in this world we really need that!

This is episode #175. This time I go down the rabbit hole some...but more I encourage you, the listener to do so! This is related to a very controversial new documentary that came out this week - but what isn't controversial these days? Still, this one is super important...for those who desire to KNOW the Truth. 

This is a repost from Season 1, Episode #36, November 27, 2018. NONE of the episodes from 2018-2019 transferred over when I switched hosting so I'll be adding some of those back in over time. Be sure to check out the resources provided below to help fill in this episode for you!

This is a bonus add-back-in from 2019 that I'd removed to use elsewhere. It is episode 61 from Season 1. 

"The greatest day in your life and mine is when we take total responsibility for our attitudes. That's the day we truly grow up". ~John C. Maxwell

In this audio I share various ways we can improve our health through our attitude choices, and things as simple as a hug, a smile, laughter, dancing, singing and more! Couple that with essential oils and WOW! 

 These are so simple some are going to think this is insane...but remember it is nature's way. Simplicity, not complicity. Not complicated. Simple. And for the science buffs, these are all proven scientifically.

This is episode 173. You either have heard the song or have seen the animated movie, or maybe not lol. However, this episode is about much more than the Christmas movie song of the same title. While this message is short, I hope it packs a little punch for you to prepare for what is coming in 2022. Be blessed!

Song: Silver & Gold by Burl Ives

Bonus episode 4. Calming for dogs and their people. Especially now during this time of year when people seem to get more stressed out rather than more cheerful. It's "JOY to the world" folks. It's "have yourself a MERRY little Christmas". It's "silent night, HOLY night, ALL is CALM." So let's do that!! Hopefully this message will help you to do exactly that. When we're calm, our dogs will be calm too. 

This week on Episode 164, Donnie is back with me in a role playing, script-based interaction. We are "performing" (lol if you can call it that) in first dog! Yep, King Bubba and Priest Ezra needed our voices to articulate in human American English for them hehe. They have a blog post out that they wanted voiced (although Ezra does a loud bark in it too) for humans to hear since it's really all about us and our walk in faith. Dogs can teach us much if we're willing to listen! 

This week on Episode 163, Donnie wasn't with me again but rather I shared a message that God has put on my heart for ALL of those who are His followers. I shared on...

1. The idea

2. Vibrations and frequencies

3. The miracle of all of this

4. Singing praises to our King!

This week on Episode 161, we talk about our amazing Carolina Dog girl, Schatzie. She came into our lives in a beautiful, wild way and exactly what I know I (Kim) needed! 

1. We talked about how she came to live with us

2. Her relationship with King

3. Her amazing-ness. It's hard to think of her as anything but amazing

This week on Episode 160, we talk about special American Bully boy, King. He is our big "little man" Buddy Dude. The pic is him wearing his superman cape that I mention in the show. 

1. We talked about how he came to live with us

2. His role in our family

3. And Donnie has a special thing he relays about King - something I didn't even know until he shared it on this podcast!

This week on Episode 159, we talk about FOOD. As in DOG food. As in REAL dog food. As in CARNIVORE food. 

To break it down a bit:

1. We talked about how we got started with Shadrach

2. How we source our food

3. How we counter the naysayers - or at least a couple of them

This week on Episode 158, we talk about another of our former amazing dog's, Meshach. This journey of ours with his was not only very difficult because of what he went through, but also because it was not just a physical problem but a spiritual one. So we open this podcast with prayer. 

This week we talked about:

1. How Meshach came to us - that in and of itself was a miracle (they always are). 

2. Meshach's ambassadorship

3. The spiritual journey he took us on, in particular me, Dr. Kim, that I never knew I needed to know, but then that's what ALL our dogs do for both of us!
