- Deborah performs her own radio pet magic every week in a city somewhere in B.C. She has regular shows in Kelowna
at CKOV Radio and is regularly featured on CKNW here in Vancouver.
Deborah is always interested in expanding her radio show to new markets so ask for her at your favorite talk radio station. It's an hour of puppy
piddles, and kitty conniving that will keep you giggling for days. You'll actually hear grown men use the word "pee pee'' on radio. Now that's entertainment!
