I had not seen my old friend and colleague Amy Shojai for many years and it looks and sounds superb. And above all, it was just the recipient of the 2023 AVMA Steve Dale Excellence in Veterinary Media Award. I had the honor, along with AVMA President Dr. Rene Carlson, to help present the award in Denver, Colorado at the American Veterinary Medical Association convention.
I caught up with Amy and we reminisced nationwide. Steve Dale’s Animal World radio show and talked about Amy’s most recent book, does my cat hate me, regarding the need for environmental enrichment. It offers various enrichment ideas.
In part two, Amy and I talk about enrichment and inner stimulation for dogs, by giving them a job. It’s not just about what we feed our dogs, but also how we feed them. Amy offers ideas on what you can do indoors to make your dog’s life interesting.
