Host Meg Grier welcomes Lori Diller, entrepreneur and creator of Eden's Promise, for a "Pawnder" episode. They listen to a story from retired veterinarian Sherry Speer about Tiny — a Chihuahua with a serious heart condition who was saved, adopted, and loved for 15 years. Meg and Lori then reflect on how Tiny's story mirrors God's adoption of us: choosing us despite our brokenness, healing our hearts, and relentlessly pursuing us even when we wander.

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.
