Behind the scenes at the Pet Connection

Christie’s in Vegas at the HSUS Animal Care Expo. Everyone else is on some painful needed-it-yesterday deadline or at a conference. I’m on several of those deadlines at once, plus on puppy watch.
The minute cloning is cool for people, I mean to sign up. I could use a couple more me’s.
Oh but … this is exciting:
Pet Connection Contributing Editor Mikkel Becker Shannon will spend six weeks in glorious San Francisco starting later this month. No, it’s not some fabulouso vacation: She has been accepted at the San Francisco SPCA’s prestigious Academy for Dog Trainers, run by Jean Donaldson.
Many congrats, Kel! We’re all proud of you!
And … please save some free time for blogging about the experience.
Oh, and since I’m on the higher ed kick … a belated congrats to Susan Tripp, who along with her husband, Dr. Rolan Tripp, serve as our staff pet-behavior experts. Susan wrapped up her master’s recently, and then followed that neat trick by starting her term as mayor of La Mirada, Calif.

While Miss Donaldson certainly enjoys appropriating the vestments of “science,” I was not aware that she was a doctor of anything.
