Feb 7, 202200:28:05Tap to summarizeWelcome 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!

Jan 31, 202200:26:44Tap to summarizeWelcome 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!

Let’s hope that Abby can remind our crustacean friend that it’s not the size of the shrimp that matters, but rather working hard and giving it your best go. Next up is Nia the Tasmanian Devil who is struggling with a littttle bit of a temper. Hopefully Abby can offer some tips in tranquility while also reminding Nia that there’s nothing wrong with expressing our emotions, so long as we can do so in a healthy manner. Later on, we'll bring in some animal experts to answer the question on everyone's mind: “Are koalas sad that they aren’t bears?” 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!

Enjoy this look back at one of our favorite episodes from Season 2, and thank you for listening to “Ask Deer Abby”! Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season. Welcome to the tenth episode of Ask Deer Abby, Season Two! Abby and Hopper are thrilled to be offering advice (and puns) to some brand new animal friends. First up, we’ve got a Praying Mantis named Mannie who’s feeling a little guilty after lying to his fellow Boy Scouts about having “supernatural powers.” Hopefully Abby can teach Mannie that honesty really is the best policy, while also enlightening him about his true “powers,” which may not be supernatural, but are still pretty cool. Next up, we’ve got not one, but two callers on the line when a two-headed snake, Janice and Jessica, comes to Abby for some sibling advice. Let’s hope that Abby can bring this unlikely duo closer together by showing them that sharing is caring. Later on, we'll bring in an animal expert to answer the question on everyone's mind: Can cockroaches really survive anything?!

First up, we’ve got a very special guest: it’s Abby’s Mom, Wanda the Caribou! Wanda is having some trouble getting into the holideer spirit because kids always assume that she works for Santa when, in fact, she doesn’t. Let’s hope that Abby can shed some light on the history of Santa and reindeer before Wanda goes completely bonkers! Next up, it’s Keanu the Alaskan Husky. It seems that every Husky is honored to compete in the great, upcoming Iditarod Race except for him! Hopefully Abby can help this young pup find the right motivations so that he can go for gold. Later on, we'll bring in an animal expert to answer the question on everyone's mind: “Are there other holiday animals besides reindeer?” 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!

First up, we’ve got Darlene Duck, a waitress at the local Quacker Barrel, who is a bit distraught after an incident at work: a tray full of waters spilled all over her, but she stayed dry! How can that be? Hopefully Abby can help Darlene unravel this Quacker Barrel quandary. Next up, it’s Al Paca of Alpaca Al’s Storage Barn! Al is seeking advice after his storage barn received some bad reviews on Howl for customer service. Let’s hope that Abby can get to the bottom of these bad reviews so that customers stop saying “no, no, no” and start saying “go, go go!” Later on, we'll bring in some animal experts to answer the question on everyone's mind: “Are mules really stubborn?” 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!

Abby and Hopper are thrilled to be offering advice (and puns) to some brand new animal friends. “What AM I, exactly” is a question that both our animal callers today are seeking an answer to. Lavender the platypus is tired of being referred to as a “hodgepodge” because of her unique appearance, and Dylan the Armadillo Girdled Lizard doesn’t understand if he’s an armadillo, or a lizard, or WHAT! Hopefully Abby can teach these distressed callers more about their wonderful animal-selves, while also reminding them that no one can tell you who you are; only you can do that.
