In this episode of God and Our Dogs on Boerne Radio 103.09 FM, host Meg Grier welcomes the entire Postiglione family — dad Dennis, mom Danielle, fourth-grader Vivian, second-grader Loudon, and their Labrador/Pyrenees mix, Blue Bonnet (aka Bluey). The family shares how they found Bluey at an art show in Dallas and surprised the kids with her after moving to the country. The children talk about their daily routines with Bluey — from tug of war to reading her books — and the patience required when their stubborn pup escapes and wanders the neighborhood. The family reflects on Matthew 10:29-31, connecting the responsibility of caring for Bluey to how God cares for each of us. Dennis also shares about his classic country music show on Bernie Radio.

This episode of God and Our Dogs on Bernie Radio (103.09 FM), hosted by Meg Grier, features guest Jennifer Click, author of Cable's Jesus Kisses. Jennifer shares her lifelong love of rescue dogs, including Cable, a mange-covered puppy abandoned at a park, and her current anxious rescue who was thrown from a truck. The conversation draws parallels between rescuing dogs and God's rescue of us. Jennifer then shares the powerful story behind her children's book — how she felt called by God to bring Cable to Uvalde after the Robb Elementary School shooting, offering free hugs and prayers to first responders, families, and children. A touching encounter with a group of little girls led to the concept of "Cable's Jesus Kisses" — invisible, permanent kisses that remind you you're never alone.
