This week we go deep with the founder and director of Ruff Patch Rescue, Stacie Ward. A native Minnesota woman, who came to Utah in 2006 and didn’t waste time starting to rescue animals here. By 2008 she and her husband started Ruff Patch and continue to go strong. We talk about fosters, adoptions, and how they name their rescues. Please keep an eye out on their social media for their Christmas auction coming up soon!

Hey kids, It’s Jeremy! This week’s episode has gone to the dogs (Dog grooming that is). We start out the episode talking about the smoke, drought, and incoming hurricane season ‘Oh My’. The countdown to Hawaii is on and Julia has her ‘Gofundme’ Launch Party this weekend. If you are in Riverton, please feel free to stop by and support an up-and-coming small business. If you are not in the area, you can still donate through gofundme.
Our guest for the week is Jeremy’s pet groomer (well Rocky and recently passed Baron Von Ebo’s R.I.P. groomer) Jennifer Cannon. Jennifer is a pure Utahn through and through, born in Murray, raised in Riverton, and the owner of K9 Design Pet Grooming,
Jennifers father owns Stone Ridge Veterinary Clinic so working with animals comes naturally. Jennifer spent time both as a teen and after high school working in the family business. Seeing her father work hard to grow his veterinary practice gave Jennifer the inspiration to pursue her own dreams. Jennifer got her bachelor’s degree from Westminster College and then went back for a Master’s in Business Administration. Soon after graduation a business opportunity presented itself when the previous owner of K9 decided to sell the company, dogs, kennels, employees, and all. From day one Jennifer has led by example and has been there to help her business (and her employees) grow.
Jennifer also LOVES Australian Sheep Dogs and has won many awards showing them throughout the years. We talk about grooming cats, dog care tips, and how important it is to get even your puppies into the groomer at a young age. There was an amusing tanget we went on (talking about WISH, and how they ship their products) …Please tune into this episode, it was so much fun talking with Jennifer.

While the show this week starts with complaints about the heat in Vegas and a full on lack of potatoes under the potato plants in Chris’ garden. It quickly moves into discussions about Drought, Bear Lake, Air Quality and travel during Covid. But then Chris has an epiphany about swearing that he wants to share, prior to our guest joining the show. Mandee (Madge) Gillen joins the gang to talk about about Foot Zone Therapy.

We start our conversation by having her draw our tarot card of the week, which happens to be the Seven of Wands. Of course Jeremy has never seen Harry Potter so tangent land here we come, since clearly the only Harry Potter he’s ever seen is a seriously poor knock off version.
Being born and raised in Utah County, Madge still calls it home. Lehi High is where she went to school and she lives in Saratoga Springs, or West Lehi as we know it. Madge was a happy mom for years of her life. Dedicating her time to her family, until she finally had a day where she wanted something else, maybe something more. After embarking on a serious weight loss journey with her husband, they noticed something wasn’t quite right with her husband. He was getting really sick and not able to actually eat. The doctors couldn’t figure it out, and so they tried doing some more holistic medicine.
A solid foot rub later, and her husband was doing better, some what miraculously. It was Foot Zone Therapy that did the trick. Convinced she could do it for her husband, Madge went to school to learn what was happening. She tells us about her “Ah-Ha” moment and what it was like to learn. She also talks in detail about the differences between reflexology and the Foot Zone Therapy she does. (Yes they are quite different) We also get a low down on what Foot Zone Therapy really is and why she thinks it works.
Today Madge runs her own business, Pixie Feet Foot Zone Therapy out of her studio in American Fork and at home. She helps people deal with the issues they carry in their feet. She also offers classes to those interested in learning the same healing practice she has come to love.
