Ask Deer Abby

Welcome to the finale of Ask Deer Abby, Season Three! Abby and Hopper are thrilled to be offering advice (and puns) to some brand new animal friends. First up, we’ve got a gen-yoo-wine celebrity on the line: it’s Jeremiah Bullfrog! Jeremiah just became a father and is a bit distressed that not a single one of his 10,000 babies looks anything like him. Let’s hope that Abby can help ease this bullfrog’s anxiety while also teaching him about the amazing process of metamorphosis. Next up, it’s Lotti the Axolotl who, after hearing Abby’s talk with Jeremiah, is wondering why SHE doesn’t go through metamorphosis, despite being an amphibian. Hopefully Abby can teach Lotti about the amazing biology of an axolotl, while also reminding her that, metamorphosis or not, she is perfect the way she is. Later on, we'll bring in some animal experts to answer the question on everyone's mind: “Are there other types of therapy pets besides dogs?” Thanks again for listening, and as always, if you've got a problem just stop on by, and we'll say "Hi" at Ask Deer Abby!

Welcome to the eleventh episode of Ask Deer Abby, Season Three! Abby and Hopper are thrilled to be offering advice (and puns) to some brand new animal friends. First up, we’ve got a stick insect named Twig who is blending-in a little more than she wants to! Let’s hope that Abby can remind Twig of how special she is, while also giving her that little extra push to find her voice. On the other hand, our next guest, Herc the Hercules Beetle, is using his voice a little too much to brag about himself, much to the dismay of those around him. Hopefully Abby can teach Herc that we can celebrate our talents, while also practicing humility through random acts of kindness. Later on, we'll bring in some animal experts to answer the question on everyone's mind: “Are a walrus’s tusks teeth, or are they horns?” Thanks again for listening, and as always, if you've got a problem just stop on by, and we'll say "Hi" at Ask Deer Abby!
