In episode 2.28, Jenny Nordin and Ashlyn Kauh reflect on their conversation with Jon and the everyday chaos of running the largest dog rescue in the Pacific Northwest; it's been a wild week of returns, intakes and adoptions (and yes, all at once.)
In Not Your 9 to 5, the team mourns the unexpected loss of DGS alum Gina. In the main segment, a long-running medical mystery finally gets a name: Mega Esophagus. What is it? Why does it sound made up? And is the answer a certain little blue pill?
Plus, the Crazy Folder returns with, of course, a Doodle, and the Shit List hits close to home. Literally. In Questions, Ashlyn tackles your dog's chi.
It’s heartfelt, hilarious, and just a little unhinged—classic rescue life!
