Every dog has a story
Your Host
Julie Jackson
“WOOF! Your friendly, four legged office manager, Eleanor, here. I asked my friends, through the twilight bark, what listeners should know about my mom, Julie. Sometimes she comes home and smells like other dogs but I LOVE HER! My sister Lilly and I think she is the best mom! Even when my pack and I think we have been bad, she just laughs! I like it when she is happy. I always look for her tail to wag too! She is kind and has the best treats! One time she even built a special bed with stairs just for me! She likes to laugh and tells stories and gives belly rubs! If you like those things too, I think her stories are for you!
JKJ is a mom to 2 and 4 legged children in the Great State of Texas (Hook ‘em!) She follows the principles of the good, the true, and the beautiful- all which are found in DOGS. Happy Tales are stories that make you laugh, give you hope and inspire you to give more belly rubs. WOOF!”
