Fellow doodle Dad Max Ernst, who's also 1/3 of the band Shaed with his twin brother Spencer and sister-in-law Chelsea Lee, joins the show to compare and contrast his 2 year old female Golden Doodle Lenny with my 6 year old male Golden Doodle Charlie. And yes, I bring up the 2019 NYTimes article yet again.

Shaed just released their new album Spinning Out and you can catch them live in Washington DC, Philadelphia and New York before baby #2 arrives for Spencer and Chelsea. For tickets and VIP packages go to shaedband.com

Max chose to give a shout out to Sweet Paws Rescue, a Massachusetts rescue that is a shelterless, foster-based, and volunteer-powered organization who primarily work within two of the poorest counties in Mississippi and Alabama and since 2011, have rescued close to 22,000 puppies, dogs, kittens, and cats that would not have a chance at life otherwise. They are also a New England resource for the abandoned and displaced, and animals seized in cruelty cases within our home state.
