Tonight! Carol Lea Benjamin, Denise Wall: A tale of two border collies

I'm going to be interviewing dog-trainer and author Carol Lea Benjamin and Denise Wall, a respected stock dog trainer and biochemist who serves on the health and genetics committee of the American Border Collie Association, the registry for working Border Collies, this evening from 9-10 PM Eastern Time.



The interview is part of PetHobbyist.com's Thirteenth Annual Chat Month, and we'll be talking about lots of things, including their new book, "Do Border Collies Dream of Sheep?" (which I reviewed right here a couple of weeks ago).



You can listen over the Animal Wise Radio network here, and if you'd like to ask questions, just drop into the Auditorium chat room where you can post them during the interview. I'll be watching. :)



You can also listen on your mobile device here.



Oh, and two other things: PetHobbyist.com has had a name change, and is now ConnectedByPets.com, and to help launch the new name and some new features, they're giving away three brand new iPad 2s! Check it out.

I'm glad you chose them to interview, Christie.



I hadn't heard of their book until you introduced it here, and immediately ordered it from my little indie book store. Picked it up Thursday and finished it yesterday. Great read!



Carol Lea Benjamin's books I'd read, but Denise Wall to new to me. They both do an excellent job describing and explaining subtle movements, one eyebrow raised, tail an inch lower than usual.



The question they raise, how will litter mates from working lines do when given very different life jobs, is a fascinating one and they do an excellent job exploring it.



So, yay!

Humbug!



Christie, is there any way you could announce the live interview events a day in advance or perhaps the morning of?



Had a busy afternoon/evening last night and would have really loved to have listened to this interview. Is there a copy of it online?

Kim, I do announce them via my Facebook page, PetHobbyist's Facebook page, in the promo splash on all the various PetHobbyist websites, on the PetHobbyist/ConnectedByPets blog, AND I email out a reminder the night before. Since this isn't really a Pet Connection event, I don't like to abuse my keys to the place by promoting everything here too relentlessly.

And yes, there will be a podcast... probably sometime on Monday!

[Kim]

LOL... ok, point taken. I must have missed that notice in my feed. Ah, well.



I'll be keeping an eye out for that podcast.



Thanks Christie!
