WEBVTT - My Dog Whisperer - Kassidy King 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:02.559 How many dogs have you found homes for in your life? 0:00:03.960 --> 0:00:04.680 Not one hundred? 0:00:04.720 --> 0:00:15.760 Okay, cash show, cash show to show. Hey everybody, it's 0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:19.800 Tosh Show Tuesday. Who Eddie? How are you good? 0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:20.240 How are you? 0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:22.640 I'm great? How long did it take you to get 0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:23.160 here today? 0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:25.000 Hour and a half hour? 0:00:24.880 --> 0:00:28.960 For this is the first day that you came here 0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:33.840 to Malibu via the Pacific Coast Highway the PCH after 0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:36.839 the fires closed. How traumatic was it? It's different. 0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:37.839 It's sad. 0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:39.360 You don't want to go though, don't you know? You 0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:41.800 said you haven't done it yet, right I don't. I don't. 0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:43.800 I don't drive through the burn areas right now, but 0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:46.040 I will. I would like to point out I'm not 0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:47.839 saying that that that I put a mouth on it 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:51.280 and caused all of this. But remember when I said 0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:55.560 the fix to making PCH safer was to slow the 0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:58.800 speed limit down considerably, right and not allow people to 0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:02.800 park on the side of the highway. Well, currently the PCH, 0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:05.160 the speed of them has been dropped to twenty five 0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:08.280 miles an hour. You were not allowed to park anywhere 0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:12.319 on the side. And guess what zero deaths? Yep, so 0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:16.959 I guess. I mean it seems odd that I would 0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:23.480 want this in this current moment. But you're welcome. By 0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:29.199 the way, the wildfires and rightfully so, have have gotten 0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:35.640 tons of global coverage. You know, they always talk about, well, 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:40.320 what's important is life, and you don't want people to 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:44.040 die so that all the other stuff can be replaced. 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:48.880 And then we had another tragedy in DC with that 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:53.360 flight that collided with the helicopter and sixty seven people 0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:58.440 were killed. I mean, I'm just pointing out that in 0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:03.880 the fires, twenty nine people were killed global coverage twice 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:09.600 as many people killed on American Eagle flight. It's less, 0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:12.280 And I'm just saying one of those was life and 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:15.680 the other is about a lot of stuff. The point 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:21.600 that I'm making here is that we do care about stuff. 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:25.080 We don't care about people as much as we should. 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:30.200 WHOA wasn't ready for that heavy take on Toss show. 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:32.560 I mean, you gave up on stuff a long time ago. 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:35.600 Oh man, you've been out. I got a lot of stuff. 0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:38.239 I gotta get rid of it. And even bigger news. 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:43.920 Luca to the Lakers. Well, As a life long Laker hater, 0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:47.720 this couldn't be more perfect for me. Oh is he 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:51.840 easy to hate? Are you telling me. For the next decade, 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:54.959 I get to watch him go like this after every 0:02:55.040 --> 0:03:03.359 non call, Oh who fouled? Look at my fat, pasty body. 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:08.720 You can see the marks. And as a twofer, you 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:13.400 know it also knocks down a few more people in 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:17.760 the pecking order of Laker Great, you have Lebron and 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:24.919 you're gonna have Luca. He had Shack, Kareem Magic, James Worthy, 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:31.000 and then Kobe Wow. He pushes him out, Kobe getting 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:34.000 knocked all the way down. I'll take your comments off air. 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:39.800 I don't know he Luca. They say he just couldn't 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:42.520 stay in shape, and now he's going to the Lakers 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:48.080 where a forty year old Lebron James spends one million dollars. 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:55.080 Who's this a physical therapist, doctor evil one million dollars 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:59.920 a year to keep Lebron at forty in top physical condition. 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:06.160 Luca famously, during the off season, I'm told has two 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:12.960 dozen Slovenian sausages a day. That's his regiment. You don't 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:15.600 want to guard a man that's had a couple dozen 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:20.880 Slovenian sausages sweating out the pores. That's not good out there. 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.200 Oh you don't, you don't want to press up against him. 0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:26.560 It's slippery, and you need to be slippery when you 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:31.479 got a six inch vertical. Oh and guess what, you 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:35.560 won't believe this. I have another poop story we gotta start. 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:39.360 It has a sting for these Now, all right, let's 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:42.480 create a sting for the poop stories. Poop story number 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:46.159 three hundred and forty one. I feel like, because I 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:50.200 talk about it, that more and more poop related things 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:53.240 are entering my life. Now, I've told you in the 0:04:53.279 --> 0:05:02.400 past that my beloved Carl has occasionally in the poop cuisine. 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:05.719 He's he's had one of my daughter's turds a time 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:09.239 or two. Well, as you know, I bought a pig. 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:12.560 I didn't, but the wife and her cousin but did. 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:16.840 And this pig, when he was brought into our lives 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:21.520 at a I think at eight weeks old, was seven pounds. Okay, 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:27.480 now we're at four months in he's currently twenty five pounds, 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:33.320 and oh my goodness, we'll eat any dog poop that's 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:37.039 in the yard. So I'm like, now, whenever my dogs go, 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:43.080 everyone has the strict instructions to quickly bag it before 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:47.400 potato gets it. Okay, Well, the other day, I have 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:52.880 a pile of these bagged dog droppings that I save 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:57.960 for the gardener to get rid of. Well, potato found 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:04.000 that that area ripped into the bags. There's probably ten 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:09.040 fifteen bags. Each bag probably two to five poops. That's 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:10.520 how I do it. You know, you pick one or 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:13.200 two or three up, depends how small they are when 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:16.800 you're cleaning up the yard. My educated guess is he 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:22.080 probably ate, you know, his body weighting poop. So now 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:23.520 I have to like bag it and get rid of 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:25.280 it and put it into the trash can. It's all. 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:27.680 It's a lot of work. By the way, this pig 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:30.320 still sleeps in my bedroom. Cutest thing in the world. 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:34.640 I'm pretty sure this is how Ava, my old dog, 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:38.039 is going to die because she her weight is less 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:41.560 and less. She's probably eight or nine pounds now. She 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:46.400 sleeps into her dog bed and then the twenty five 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:51.280 pound pig crawls on top of her and basically suffocates 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:53.680 her all night long, and she tends to love it. 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:57.040 They constantly are spooning. I got a photo of her 0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:00.840 putting her little paw over the top the pig. They 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:04.400 just they sleep together constantly. By the way, he doesn't. 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:07.520 Sometimes he didn't even wait for the dogs to go poop. 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:10.600 I've caught him going up to Ava while she was 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:16.360 napping and just eating from the tap just to come on. Yeah, 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:22.040 I couldn't believe it. But Data's eating ass like he's 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:24.600 like he's some kind of Mormon with the poop hole loophole. 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:30.320 It's unacceptable. I don't I should ask today's guest how 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:33.760 to fix uh the pig pooping problem, but they're gonna 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:35.800 say the same thing. Would just make sure you pick 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:38.840 it all up. Well, okay, but now I have to 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:42.880 like follow multiple pets around and oh no, they went 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:48.680 to the bathroom quick before hungry hungry Potato gets over here. 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:57.679 Enjoy Casha. If there is a heaven, my guest today 0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:00.560 would get in without a problem. She's read over one 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:03.760 hundred dogs from being euthanized and now Train's pooch is 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:07.600 full time right here in Los Angeles. She's a real 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:10.520 treat to have on today's show. Please welcome Cassidy. 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:12.320 That was great, Thank you. 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:14.960 Thank you for being here, Thanks for having me. Do 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:16.320 you believe in ghost. 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:19.440 I believe in spirit guide? So is that the same thing? 0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:23.800 Yes? Okay, and yes, do you believe in dog ghosts. Yeah, 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:27.640 so like every species on the planet has their own 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:28.960 ghost after death. 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:31.080 I don't know. I go back and forth. Sometimes I 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:36.120 think some things reincarnate into something else and other things 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:38.040 stay as ghosts. 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:38.600 Good to know. 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:41.080 I feel like that we'll figuring it out. 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:43.000 Well, you let me know when you get there. Well 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:45.040 where are you originally from? 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:46.960 I am from Tulsa, Oklahoma. 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:47.960 How long did you live there? 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:50.800 I lived there until I was eighteen, and then I 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:54.280 moved to Duluth, Minnesota, where I went to college and 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:56.840 stayed a few years after very cold. 0:08:57.040 --> 0:09:00.120 One of my screen savers on an old computer or 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:04.960 was my dog? I was walking on a pier with 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:07.600 a little tiny lighthouse at the end of it, and 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:08.679 that was in Duluth. 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:10.160 You've been to Duluth. 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:15.040 Sure, how else would that story be relevant? I don't 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:18.800 know if you photoshopped your dogs into no one's photoshopping Duluth. 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:22.439 That's very true. Duluth is so beautiful. I always say 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.120 it's a hidden gem of the Midwest. 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:25.640 Do you know what I'm talking about? 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:28.199 The little lighthouse of course in Canal Yeah. 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:30.040 A little lighthouse, ah man, I remember that. 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:31.199 Yeah, it's beautiful. 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:33.800 Do you go, But do you still have family in Tulsa. 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:35.600 I do, all my whole families in Tulsa. 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:41.600 Tulsa, I mean just a real awful town. True or false. 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:45.320 True, I don't love it. I think everyone said it's 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:51.079 up and coming. It feel like it's behind. Tulsa is up, 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:54.040 and everyone there said it's up and coming. I still 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:55.680 think it's ten fifteen years behind. 0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:58.160 There used to be a crappy comedy club that I 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:01.600 worked as a young comedian Tulsa, and it was a 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:05.239 jay it was. It shared a building with a nightclub. 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:06.880 It's probably still there well. 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:11.599 And the nightclub, who at the time was played a 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:16.920 lot of heavy bass hip hop music and and it 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:19.560 was just funny because I'd be performing and you just 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:22.920 hear bass coming through the walls and I was like, 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:23.920 this is not good. 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:26.880 I haven't been because I was eighteen when I left, 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:28.520 so I've never really gone out in Tulsa. 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.440 Well, sure, this this is way before your time. 0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:32.600 It might still be there, though. 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:37.000 Favorite college football team, Sooners. I didn't know if you 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:39.480 were like, you don't care at all, but you. 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:42.280 I mean, I don't watch it, but sure, I feel like. 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:46.400 My favorite Sooners game was what that game. It was 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:48.439 like a couple of years ago, maybe it was longer. 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:52.960 Where the after they scored that the trailer flipped over 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:57.480 and the girl flew out. The horses were just dragging 0:10:57.480 --> 0:10:57.960 her around. 0:10:58.440 --> 0:10:59.600 Yep, I remember that. 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:04.120 That was the delightful. That was delightful. So you finished 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:04.800 in Duluth? 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:07.400 What did you study communications? 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:08.439 With dogs? 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:11.880 No? No, no, they do have degrees for that kind 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:14.120 of stuff. Now, I don't know. I've heard of it. 0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:17.240 I haven't endeavored. 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:21.040 Okay, so you had a degree in communications. I used 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:23.400 to tell people I had a minor in communications, but 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:24.320 I don't think I did. 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:25.120 Probably not. 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:26.559 I think it just lied about it. 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:28.680 Why did I did you have a major? 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:30.440 Yeah? I had a degree in marketing. 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:33.439 I think they're very similar. There's a lot of overlap. 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:37.560 I'm sure I had classes in communications, but didn't. All right, 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:40.520 So what was your big plan when you were in college. 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:43.199 I did not have one. My plan was to get 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:44.800 out of college as soon as possible. 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:47.400 That was my plan. Yeah, So did you finish early? 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:51.040 Yes? I graduated at twenty and a full year early. 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:54.480 It was a full year early, and I didn't really 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:56.160 know what I wanted to do. I was waiting tables 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:58.120 at the time, and I just kind of stayed in 0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:01.400 Duluth waiting tables, and and I guess the way I 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:04.679 got into dogs, I kind of went I call it 0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:07.320 the rescue rabbit hole. You kind of spiral when you 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:10.000 get into the rescue world I found for me at least, 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:16.000 and I basically saw a disconnect where I'm from. In Tulsa, 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:19.640 dogs are buy one, get one from the shelter, and 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:22.840 they're like ten dollars, and there's just a ton of straits, 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:25.240 kind of like southern California, so they're being euthanized a lot. 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:30.000 And then I would take them to Minnesota to be adopted, 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:34.319 where dogs cost way more to adopt. 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:39.480 So real quick, dogs aren't euthanized in southern California. 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:42.480 Yeah they are. Yeah, there's a lot of overcrowding in 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:45.079 the shelters, especially in like Bakersfield. 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:48.640 And Okay, I don't know, we'll get into it whether 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:52.080 I consider bakers Field Southern California, but share enough. So 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:59.360 you started illegally, yes, adopting dogs in Tulsa, bringing them 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:03.959 up to Minnesota, the great folks of Minnesota, Yes, and 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.080 charging them seven hundred bucks per week. 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:09.600 So I did not charge. I only charged what I 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:12.719 to cover the expenses, and to be honest, most time 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:13.440 I never collected. 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:15.240 So you were just rescuing dogs? 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:15.959 Yeah? 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:18.360 Did you ever see that real depressing movie with what's 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:21.040 her name? Who? That's how I talk about people because 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:26.200 I never know actors' names from SNL and she what 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:28.880 was her name? She's one of that smelled her armpits 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:32.160 Molly Shannon and then she just went on this. God 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:35.720 just her life just became about helping rescue dogs. And 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:38.520 then the end of it, it's just like her happy 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:41.000 kind of It's just depressing the whole movie. And she 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:42.920 has thousands of dogs with her. 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:45.080 Was she happy with the thousands of dogs? 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:47.600 What's the name of this movie? Year of the Dog? 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:49.320 No, I haven't seen it. One thing about me is 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:50.680 I haven't seen a lot of movies. 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:53.439 There's no nobody has seen this movie. Yeah, they're all 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:56.480 freaking out right back there that I pulled this movie 0:13:56.720 --> 0:14:00.839 from a rolodex of randomness that I've seen out. It 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:02.520 might be your life story. 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:03.360 I hope it's not. 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:07.480 To be honest, it was depressing. 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:09.559 I hope it's not my life story. 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:11.000 Have you ever smelled jarm pits. 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:15.480 Don't we all doing yoga? I don't know laying there? 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:16.880 No, I don't do yoga. 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:19.960 Do you ever lay like this? Oh? 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:22.680 Yes, if it's ripe, I call in. I call in 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:25.080 the wife immediately. What is she doing? I got a 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:27.200 good one. She's like, what, I might smell this, and 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:29.480 she's like, ah, you know that's what. It's what we do. 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:34.960 Smells are my thing. I like smells foul and otherwise 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:37.760 say what you will. I don't care. Judge me. How 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:40.440 many back and forth did you do from Tulsa to Duluth. 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:44.120 I'd have to I have not counted. I'd have to 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:47.120 look at my archives a dozen. Probably. It got to 0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:49.160 a point where I would just do it, like I 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:51.480 would come home for Thanksgiving. Because I didn't tell my 0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:53.840 parents I was doing this. They don't want them to worry. 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:55.280 It was at first it was like, you know, like 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:57.520 a drug mule, but with pooches. 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:02.280 Yeah, and I would I've break it up in the days. 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:04.880 Sometimes we'd sneak into a motel in Iowa. Who's we 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:11.240 me and the docks, Okay, me and myself and the dog, and. 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:13.480 Then we can bring this stuff up on a chance. 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:15.600 No, I actually don't talk about it. To be honest, 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:18.120 I just started talking about it again. I got to 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:20.160 a point where they started driving the dogs. They would 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:23.200 drive them to Iowa, or they would drive them to Wisconsin. Folks, 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:26.800 no the rescue, sorry, like people from the shelter. So 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:30.280 there's people who commit their whole lives to transporting these 0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:33.520 dogs across the country. It's insane, but they'll basically load 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:36.480 up a huge sprinter van of like fifty dogs creates 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:38.480 stacked on top of each other, and they drive them 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:42.960 across the country to go to northern shelters where there's 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:44.600 not there's more demand. 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:47.440 Is Tulsa so littered with stray dogs? 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:51.000 I have theories it's I think it's just the South, because. 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:52.120 You consider Tulsa the South. 0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:54.840 No, but it's warmer climates, so it's warm enough for 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:59.320 animals to survive in so a lot of people if 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:02.320 they are in between getting rid of their dog, there's 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:04.880 no one to take the dog. They can either dump 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:06.560 the dog or take them to a shelter, and they're 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:08.640 probably gonna be uthanized at the shelter. Then they're just 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:10.440 gonna dump the dog because then that dog can at 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:13.920 least go and live their life in nature, and then 0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:16.320 if they're not, say and neuter, then they pro create, 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:19.400 and then we have a plethora of dogs. Whereas in 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:22.480 the North, if you were faced with the same concept 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:26.440 or the same problem dilemma, you wouldn't dump your dog 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:28.320 because you know that dog would just freeze to death 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:30.600 and that would just be wrong. 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:34.080 I grew up always having dogs. Okay, but you're not 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:37.320 gonna like the story. That's okay, okay, but I'm a 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:42.280 huge dog advocate now. But when my parents moved constantly, 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:45.960 and whenever we moved, my dad just got rid of 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:48.640 our dog, like the dog didn't come with us. 0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:49.720 It's very common. 0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:52.960 And I was always like, I never even thought to 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:54.680 be well, why wouldn't we just bring our dog. He's like, 0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:56.760 you don't. You're not going to bring a Saint Bernard 0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:58.880 to Florida. And I'm like, well, fair enough. 0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:01.600 That's not terrible though, I. 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:03.680 Know, but like, let me tell you, it wasn't like 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:06.480 he went and sought out a good family. It was 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:09.080 just the dog just is gone. Yeah, well that was 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:11.919 that's one scenario. One time, my rabbit, my mom's like, well, 0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:13.800 we're moving, you can't bring your rabbit. I'm like, well, 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:16.080 why can't I There wasn't even a conversation. 0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:17.960 That's so sad. I'm so sorry. 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:21.760 Well, listen, a lot of this stuff is the issues 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:25.879 that you see before you but now, I mean, good grief. 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:28.359 I get so attached to it. Never and I don't 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:33.040 even care about the pain that I go through when 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:36.680 one of them dies, I just keep doing it. I'm like, whatever, Yeah, 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:37.400 here we go again. 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:39.360 Yeah, it's pretty excruciating. 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:40.240 Oh it's rough. 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:42.639 So, for example, when COVID hit, it was all the 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:45.840 shelters in Minnesota were emptied because people were staying at 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:47.600 home and they had time to go faster at all. 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:50.400 Their whole country almost got rid of all of our 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:51.520 sheltered dogs. 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:55.560 During the Closa, the problem doubled because people were thinking 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:57.040 that their dogs were going to give them COVID. 0:17:57.359 --> 0:17:59.920 Oh see, okay, so there's just I don't even know 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:00.800 about those people. 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:03.719 It got really bad in Tulsa around that time. And 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:07.040 also not even just that, but then people couldn't they 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:08.919 got laid off, they couldn't afford their dog, they couldn't 0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:11.120 afford another mouth to feed, so then they would dump 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:14.080 their dog because they didn't have a job. So I 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:17.240 think it's a I do think that if people's needs 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:21.840 were met, then they wouldn't need to get rid of 0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:23.119 their dogs when times got. 0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:24.800 Hard, you know, a rabbit hole. I used to go down, 0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:26.879 what I don't do it anymore, but I used to 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:31.679 go down adopting children. You'd like, look into foster kids 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:34.679 and you'd see these videos that they make of themselves, 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:37.720 and they're cute and they're doing the big song and 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:40.640 dance like I'm great, come on, give me a home. 0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:42.800 And I would just tear me apart. But I'd watch 0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:46.719 these videos. But then what happened was years would go 0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:50.960 by and I'd see the same kids four years later, 0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:53.800 like me and my sister, still looking for a family, 0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:56.360 and it was just it's just heartbreak. 0:18:56.440 --> 0:18:57.159 That would be horrible. 0:18:57.200 --> 0:18:59.720 Oh, it's horrible. So to see them age. 0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:03.719 That's at twenty. I wasn't ready for that. So I 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:05.040 went to the dog route. 0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:07.560 You went to the dog route? Yeah, what does redlisted 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:08.720 mean for a shelter dog? 0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:12.920 Euthanasia listed? So that means that they'll say this dog 0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:16.080 is redlisted for two pm, and that means that they 0:19:16.119 --> 0:19:18.639 will be euthanizes at two pm. Yeah. I don't follow 0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:19.680 those pages. Anymore. 0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:22.280 No, Oh, I try not to, and like, what do 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:23.560 you do hustle down there? 0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:27.760 Yes? Or people are posting they're pledging money, money that's 0:19:27.800 --> 0:19:29.760 never collected because you can just comment on Instagram and 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:31.920 say I pledged fifty dollars and then someone's like, great, 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:34.080 I grabbed the dog. Where's that fifty dollars to help 0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:37.280 with the dog? Got it for medical bills? And then 0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:38.240 you don't hear from them. 0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:40.840 How many dogs have you found homes for in your life? 0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:42.159 About one hundred? 0:19:42.200 --> 0:19:43.720 And how many dogs have you fostered? 0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:46.119 Probably over one hundred. I think I stopped counting at 0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:48.160 like forty because I was just like, you. 0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:50.960 Rename those foster dogs or no, I'll name them. 0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:53.399 Sometimes I'll keep their shelter names. Sometimes they just have 0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:56.439 a kennel code name, like a number. It'll be like 0:19:56.520 --> 0:19:59.320 a one zero, three, seven, two nine. 0:19:59.359 --> 0:20:01.560 And when did you make the voyage out west? 0:20:02.119 --> 0:20:04.320 I came out West three years ago. 0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:08.080 What do your parents say when someone in Oklahoma ask 0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:10.440 what you're up to these days? 0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:16.800 That's a good one, my dad goes. My dad says, well, 0:20:16.840 --> 0:20:21.200 Cassidy's our free spirit child. She's out in California living 0:20:21.200 --> 0:20:22.320 with the Manson Crew. 0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:25.320 The shoe fits yep. 0:20:25.720 --> 0:20:31.040 And people don't train dogs in Oklahoma especially, so this 0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:35.160 career doesn't really exist there as much, so they don't 0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:36.840 really understand it or see it as a career. 0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:38.520 When did you start going to prisons? 0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:40.960 I started going two years. 0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:43.720 Ago, and explain to me what you do there. 0:20:43.800 --> 0:20:46.560 So the Positive Change Program is a programmer in by 0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:52.159 Marley's Mutts Rescue in Ta Hatchipee, and they pair dogs 0:20:52.200 --> 0:20:56.360 who would otherwise be euthanized with people living in prison, 0:20:56.560 --> 0:20:59.639 and then the people the inmates, train the dogs, and 0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:01.360 then the dog become adopted. 0:21:01.760 --> 0:21:03.399 It sounds great. Now. If you were to give me 0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:06.399 the choice death or prison, I'm not sure which one 0:21:06.400 --> 0:21:06.880
