Chicken Soup for the Soul

We interrupt Medical Mondays for a special report:

Did you know that today is national Chicken Soup for the Soul Day?


Dr. Marty Becker is a veterinarian who is a regular contributor to vetstreet.com, ABC's "Good Morning America" and the nationally syndicated "Dr. Oz Show."

He's also written several books, including three in the "Chicken Soup" series, specifically about pets.

Our mom interviewed him for Animal Planet a few years ago.

Since Ryker cameos in the interview (um, mom? we think that's called nepotism...?), we thought this would be a fun video to share today.

Plus, what he has to say is pretty cool. Especially that last part about the bed. (SCORE!)

Next week's Medical Monday:
Pets, Holiday Travel and Safety

  4. Oh wow! Ryker did such an amazing job in the video! And that's so true about the bed bit. MOL. Poor Mommy wakes up with a sore hip from not moving because she has Cosmo on her left, Ling on her right and Tutu right between her legs. Ah...the joys of pet ownership.

    1. Hi Mollie! Hi Alfie! Ryker was 1 at the time, but that was more than 10 years ago. Sadly, he left for the Bridge in 2010. Actually, tomorrow (Wed) is the anniversary....

  18. Ryker was such a pretty kitty! He looked like he would rather play than be interviewed. Our mom has several of the Chicken Soup animals books. They are addicting.
