5
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 2: very exciting week because I have brought in the Vets

6
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 2: Office to one of my client's homes. You may know

7
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 2: her as a New York Times best selling author, a philanthropist.

8
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 2: She's a mom of four beautiful girls, and she is

9
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: married to a country music superstar. But the reason she's

10
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 2: here today is because she is a dog mom. Lauren Aikens,

11
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 2: Welcome to in the Vet's Office.

12
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: Thank you. I'm so excited to be here, and thanks

13
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 1: for having to hang with us at our house.

14
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 2: I know, we get to sit in your living room

15
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 2: and so nice. We've got your puppies, ConA and Cash here.

16
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: I say you're a dog mom, but you're really a cat,

17
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 2: dog and horse mom. I am anything the sides of

18
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 2: animals supposed to be. I mean, that's right now.

19
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: No, that's where we're at, and it's great and never

20
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,279
Speaker 1: a dull moment, as ConA is tripping over all the things.

21
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: That's if you hear panticly, everybody can still hear it

22
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: in the background, that is the dog.

23
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 2: When I was introducing you, it made me think that

24
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 2: I didn't know your last name was Aikens.

25
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: Do people tell you that a lot? I thought it

26
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: was rets. Yes, everyone does for a good reason because

27
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: that's his stage name, and so I think people soon

28
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: assume our last name is Rhette. Is that middle name?

29
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: I get it. Yeah, it's kind of like that Southern

30
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: A lot of people have two names in the South

31
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: have the double name. Older two have double names, and

32
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: then it got to be so many double names that

33
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: we had to stop the double names because it was

34
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: Thomas Raett, Willegray, Ada James, and so I was like,

35
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: we're not going to go the last two. We're not

36
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: going to do double names. But I named them both

37
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: l names, and I'm an elle name, so I didn't

38
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: even mean to do that necessarily. But it's either all

39
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: three double names and the other three year l's l names,

40
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: and so I can't ever get the right name out.

41
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 2: You know, it's a lot of names like the It's

42
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 2: like a tongue twister. Yes, yes, Peter Piper picked up Yeah,

43
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 2: exactly where we're at Okay every day and then you

44
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 2: add the dogs and the horses and the cats, Like,

45
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 2: I don't ever.

46
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: Know who I'm talking to? Do the dogs have middle names?

47
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 2: No, that's probably for the best, but keep it a

48
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 2: little like something in your life needs to be simple.

49
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: Trying to simplify just a little bit.

50
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 2: How do you balance all of these creatures and then

51
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 2: your family and being a wife and a mom.

52
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: How how do you do that? Honestly, probably not super well.

53
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,119
Speaker 1: Our life in house is pretty chaotic. I think that's

54
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: to be expected, probably with four little ones running around,

55
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: for sure, But we have learned to operate pretty well.

56
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: I feel like in the chaos and like that's my

57
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: normal now. So if it gets too quiet, I'm like,

58
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: what what do I do? How to not I think

59
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: a lot of people look at us and they're like,

60
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 1: how are you managing all this? But I think truly

61
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: you just kind of figure out whatever becomes your new normal.

62
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: You just make it over time. Yeah, it becomes your

63
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: new normal. And I'm like, well, four kids is normal,

64
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: and a traveling husband is normal. We definitely have really

65
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 1: hard weeks and really hard moments, but everybody does. And

66
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: I do think honestly, having the animals in my life

67
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: for me. They are like a place of peace and

68
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,839
Speaker 1: for my girls too. Percent Yeah, it's it's sweet. It's

69
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: it's chaos, but it's my chaos, and I right, I

70
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: really love it. That's good. You thrive in chaos. I

71
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: love that too.

72
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 2: It is funny that you say that. Like I feel

73
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 2: like when I'm having a really bad day or stressful week,

74
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 2: like just sitting down with my dogs at night and

75
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 2: petting them, I'm like, ah, like I can relax. Yeah,

76
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: they really, I mean they aren't there.

77
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: Cash for our lab he is like my well, okay,

78
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: I actually think I am his security blanket. Actually I

79
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: know that I am, but he kind of is that

80
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: for me. But he just you know, I think a

81
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: lot of people are like my dog knows if I'm

82
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: having a hard day, and also our horses, like you know,

83
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: there's like the equon therapy and yeah, there's the reason

84
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: behind like the animal therapies and the things like that.

85
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: But Cash specifically, I mean, he's like my shadow in

86
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: the house. But like when, for instance, when I was

87
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: pregnant with all three of my pregnancies, he when it

88
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: got like really close to the do date and when

89
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: things were you know, kind of moving a little bit

90
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: here and there and we're like, oh, where is that happening?

91
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: Is it not? He followed me everywhere in the house.

92
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: If I would get up in the middle of the night,

93
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: he would be right by my side. When I was

94
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: laboring at home, he was, I mean, right under my feet,

95
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 1: and he wasn't he was like just a very peaceful

96
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: just like hey, it's like I got you right here,

97
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna leave. And he's always been that for me,

98
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: and he is I don't want to say high maintenance,

99
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: but he always gets into mischief.

100
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 2: I feel like I feel like silver labs. I mean,

101
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 2: labs in general are a little like they can be naughty,

102
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 2: but silver labs.

103
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: Okay, Well I didn't know that. He definitely I didn't

104
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: know that, but that is definitely who he is a

105
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: lot of it. And Thomas Rhett really drives him crazy.

106
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: So our hound Kona, she she really loves I was

107
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: wondering and always has and she's a total diva. Gosh, like,

108
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: is right on my hip when I come. He's my

109
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: little buddy. So I'm like, you, you know he's he's

110
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: annoying to you, but he's really special to me, Like

111
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: this is my son yeah, right, like, don't touch him.

112
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 2: When I come to the house to take care of

113
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 2: the dogs. It's funny because their personalities like could not

114
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 2: be more different. Cash runs out his tails wagging. He's like, hey,

115
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 2: come on in, let me show you around. And Conah's

116
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 2: in the kitchen like, who are you?

117
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: You're so awful? Who invited you to this home? Come

118
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: close to me? Yeah? Very much? Who they are.

119
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: There's also a video going around right now of like

120
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 2: a woman our age looking at her two dogs and

121
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 2: it's like the boy dogs like, mom, I love you,

122
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 2: You're so beautiful, and it goes to the girl dog

123
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 2: and it's like you're fat. Like this is literally exactly

124
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 2: how it is.

125
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: Oh, but it's so fun I mean they have their

126
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,799
Speaker 1: they have their different roments too. You know Conah even

127
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: with my kids, I think one of them, it's a

128
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: little is the favorite at times with the kids. They

129
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: have their personalities. It goes well, but how are the

130
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 1: most part How do they do with the kids? Like

131
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: are they pretty chill? They're great, so ConA, Actually they're

132
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: amazing with our family, our friends, our kids. They are

133
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: not great with strangers and and Kona actually was that

134
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: way when she was younger. She had kind of a

135
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: traumatic experience when she was young, and I think it

136
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: really shifted. I don't know just how. She definitely is

137
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: more on the defensive side of things.

138
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 2: I mean, if you think about humans, like when we

139
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 2: have trauma at younger ages, as it kind of shapes

140
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 2: who we are, and it can do.

141
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: That right animals. So she's she's going to be thirteen

142
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: this year. Yeah, she's going to be thirteen. And I

143
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: so we had our our oldest came home. We adopted

144
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: her from Uganda, and she came home in May nine

145
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: years ago, eight years ago. I needed to get that

146
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: math right in twenty seventeen, math is hard. Where are we?

147
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: I'm not years ago? And so she was, you know,

148
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: not a puppy, so that wasn't necessarily concern. But I

149
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: also was just like, you know, I think everyone's greatest

150
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: fear is like, how are my dogs going to interact

151
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: with the kids? Like I hope that they love each

152
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: other and that they're And she's always she's always been.

153
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: She is kind of she's protective, but she's really protective,

154
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: like for them, that's sweet and so yeah, that's really sweet.

155
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: But now that she's older, she doesn't move fast. She's

156
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: kind of passed it off to Cash and bless him,

157
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: I think that's not his strong suit. But I do

158
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: think that she has passed something to him because I

159
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: think he knows I need to like stand up and

160
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: be a little bit more assertive as a guard dog.

161
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: And he just doesn't have the natural cues I think

162
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: like she does. So sometimes he's barking. I'm like, Buddy,

163
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: that's the wrong person to bark at. We're not going

164
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: to bark at that person because she's definitely the brains.

165
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: It's like pinky and the brain's smart. Yeah, that's exactly. Yeah,

166
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: she's the brain. Is he the one that committed the crime? Yep,

167
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: that'sh Yeah, Okay, so he doesn't he's he doesn't love

168
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: strange men and hats with sunglasses is like as a

169
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: double whammy. Yeah, you're a big no media and then

170
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: deliverymen specifically for whatever reason. I feel like a lot

171
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 1: of dogs probably have that. Yeah, it is different in Cash.

172
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: But if you're here, like sitting here with him, and

173
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: when you come in and I mean he's just a big, giant,

174
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: squishy bear, I mean you're just like, oh, you just

175
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: he's just so mushy, what happened? You said Kna had

176
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: something bad happened when she was little? What was that

177
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: she like at the when like her little traumatic experience.

178
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: We read a dog park and you know, it's our

179
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,439
Speaker 1: first dog, and I'm like, I'm gonna take her to

180
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: the dog parks, she says, a little puppy, and I

181
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 1: have no to this day, I don't know what triggered it.

182
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. I didn't even get to talk to

183
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: the other owner because they bolted as soon as it happened.

184
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: We ride a dog park and it was kind of

185
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: a hilly dog park, so there was this rock wall

186
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: and we were up on the top on this like

187
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: grassy spot on top of the rock wall, and it

188
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 1: was a pretty good drop down to pavement, and she

189
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: was just kind of, you know, running around looking kind

190
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: of like checking everybody out in this giant dog out

191
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: of nowhere. I mean, Bee lines it for Kona and

192
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: tackled her, rolled her was coming for her, and hit

193
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,719
Speaker 1: her so hard that she went off the wall and

194
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 1: laid it on the pavement. And I was awful, really sad.

195
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: It really hurt her. She was obviously traumatized, and from

196
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: that day on she like would not let other dogs

197
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: get close to her. Yeah, she's like, so it kind

198
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 1: of started there, and then sa same kind of thing.

199
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: If she doesn't know the person, she's always real like

200
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm like, it's very skeptical.

201
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it takes a lot for her to Catahoula trust

202
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 2: somebody of her. I would say, like, they're kind of

203
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 2: does she try and herd anything? Like, well she heard

204
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 2: the kids are like maybe maybe.

205
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: I mean when we run around the house, she kind

206
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 1: of will do this thing where she'll kind of grab

207
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: at my clothes to try to slow me down. Yeah,

208
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: that's she kind of like lags you're telling plays. But

209
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: then she's kind of like also, no, no, no, so down,

210
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: so down, and then we slow down. She's like okay, okay,

211
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: we don't know where are you going? And then she

212
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: does as much anymore because she can't move as fast

213
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: but she used to, and the kids loved it. They

214
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: would be like, how fast can kind of try to

215
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: get us all back together?

216
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 2: Now she's like one hundred and five with a walker.

217
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna get you. Yeah, that's right, that's exactly right.

218
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: And then if she tries to run fast, she can't

219
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: walk very well the next two days.

220
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 2: That is a very classic hurting dog. She is, by

221
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 2: the way, is laying on the other couch and soaring

222
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 2: so loud.

223
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: It's amazing.

224
00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 2: She's living her best life and she's so cute. So

225
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:12,719
Speaker 2: when we had first that, you guys were like, hey,

226
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 2: we're going to sign up for the concierge vet and

227
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 2: we got everything together and then I was like, well,

228
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 2: when should I come out for our first visit? And

229
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 2: you're like, let me check my calendar. And then I

230
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 2: didn't hear from you for like a month, and I

231
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 2: was like, this is weird, Like I hope everything's okay, and.

232
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 1: Also not shocking if you're trying to text me, ever,

233
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: you might not hear from me from a month. So sorry,

234
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to ignore you, but yes, continue.

235
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 2: But then you came up for air a few weeks

236
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 2: later and you were like, by the way, something's happened.

237
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 2: And I get like one hundred and seventy five page

238
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 2: report from the er clinic here did yes, because I

239
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 2: had to get as records. It was I think one

240
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy five pages something else.

241
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't doubt it. Yeah, after all of

242
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: the things that we went through. I don't doubt it

243
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 1: was one hundred and seventy five pages. I was like, ah,

244
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: just some light reading. Perfect.

245
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 2: So yeah, I get the report that comes through and

246
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my god. And so what happened with

247
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 2: our friend Cash?

248
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, it was so trauatic. It was awful. It

249
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: was awful. We're like, no, I need therapy, honestly, no joke.

250
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: I okay, I'm trying to back up. So it was

251
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: what month was it? I think the November October it

252
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: was pumpkin season. Yeah, maybe November. Yeah, I think it

253
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: was November, maybe early December. I can't remember. It was

254
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: after Halloween, after or maybe right around Thanksgiving, which is

255
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: why we still had pumpkins. Yeah, but there was an old,

256
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: dried up pumpkin stem that Cash found in true lab fashion.

257
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: He's like, look at the stick, look at this, so

258
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: proud of him pumpkin stem, and so he was like

259
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: showed She was like showing off, showing it to me,

260
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: and we were outside walking around and he's like prancing

261
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: around with the stick and is now and that that

262
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: was it? And I was like, all right, you know,

263
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: I didn't think about it. And honestly until after all

264
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: this is over, and I was like, oh my gosh,

265
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: I know what it was. So I let the dogs

266
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: in that night, trying to go back in my brain

267
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: the story. Thomas Stratt was gone, he was out of town,

268
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: and I.

269
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 2: Was always happened when the husbands are out of town,

270
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 2: always happens.

271
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: Thomas Jrrette was about to know I was about to

272
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: leave the next morning, and so I think he was

273
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: coming home. There was there was a moment where I

274
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: was having to leave. He was already gone, and my

275
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: sister in law was coming to stay with the girls

276
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: until he got back home. And through the night, I

277
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: can't remember what happened. I think I may have had

278
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: a kid in my bed with me, which happens a

279
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: lot when he's not here. One of them maybe may

280
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: have been in bed with me, and that's part of

281
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: the reason why I wasn't up checking on cash. Also,

282
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: for better or her worse, our dogs just have accidents

283
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: in our house. I'm like, what did you eat that

284
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: made you throw that up? Honestly, like, where did that

285
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: come from? What? But he he specifically finds things and

286
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: we'll just destroy he'll chew it up. He'll throw it

287
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: up later, or he won't throw it up and it

288
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: comes out and You're like, how did that make it

289
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: all the way through your body? But that's just the

290
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: yard is like a sock coop land mine crazy. And

291
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: so I could hear him kind of like coughing or like,

292
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: you know, he was trying to get something up, and

293
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, good gracious, and I remember thinking, oh gosh,

294
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: then no judgment, please. I'm like, there's probably vomit somewhere

295
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: on the floor and I am tired going to go

296
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: to bed, but it was like middle of the night.

297
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: I could hear it, and I was like and then

298
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: stopped and I was like, okay. And the other thing

299
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: about Cash, he's terrified as storms. He's an anxious little buddy,

300
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: and he will come to get me because I'm a

301
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: person if anything makes him uncomfortable. He is right there

302
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: next to my bed looking at me, going, hey, you

303
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: got to figure this out, because there's a storm forty

304
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: five miles away and I'm telling you it is headed

305
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: straight for us, and you got a round up the troops.

306
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: We need to go to the basement. And like that's

307
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: what he does. He never said a word and so

308
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: I took that as he didn't say anything to me,

309
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: and he always talks to me, you know, in the

310
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: way that they talked to us, and he didn't say anything.

311
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: So I went back to sleep and slept so hard,

312
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: as most moms do with kids who sleep for the night.

313
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: You just sleep really great at night because you're exhausted

314
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: during the day. And I woke up the next morning

315
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: early because I had to go to the airport. My

316
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: sister in law was on her way over. I think

317
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: actually all of my kids were still asleep that really,

318
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 1: and he was still he was standing like on the

319
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: edge of one of my couches, like off to the side,

320
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 1: and he was standing in a weird, like a weird stance,

321
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 1: like he was like waiting to throw up, but nothing

322
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: was happening. And then he had like drool, you know,

323
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: coming from a sea, yes, And so I was like, oh, man,

324
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 1: like you know, usually that means that their stomach's upset

325
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: or they're really nauseated or whatever. And I'm like, oh man, buddy,

326
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: like you didn't get it up, whatever it is. But

327
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 1: he was making such a weird noise that I was like,

328
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: what is that. He was like panting kind of but

329
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: not able to pant.

330
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 2: And I'll and by the way, you're a nurse, so

331
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 2: you know, like right, and something's really wrong.

332
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. So like instantly in my spirit it was like, hey,

333
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: this is way more than just an upset stomach. Something

334
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: is going on here. And I remember I was already

335
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: running a little late, not chalking, and so I was like, okay,

336
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let him off the front door and just

337
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: kind of see what he does. And so also with Cash,

338
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 1: as soon as he goes out, he does his business,

339
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: and he is right back in the door, right next

340
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: to my leg, looking at me like all right, what's next?

341
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: What do we do? And I let him outside. I

342
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 1: went to go get my bags. I came back and

343
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: I kept waiting for one of the doors to be opened,

344
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 1: because we have the doors where you can you know,

345
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: they're they're the handle that if you pull down on

346
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 1: the handle and push the door open, and Cash can

347
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 1: actually from the outside open the door and let himself in. Perfect.

348
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 1: So I came back out and I'm like, the doors

349
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: are still closed. He didn't come back in, And it

350
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,199
Speaker 1: was one of the Nashville mornings that was freezing cold,

351
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: like pull or of varteil. Hello, freezing, very very cold,

352
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: and you know dogs aren't. He's not one to just

353
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: go sit out in the cold for forever. And I

354
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: bet it had been probably fifteen or twenty minutes, and

355
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: I knew it was like my spirit went from like, hey,

356
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: this is a little bit more to like, hey, this

357
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 1: is not. Like he's not okay. And so Mackenzie, my

358
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: sister in law, walks in and she's like, good morning,

359
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: and you know, she's and I'm like, I think something's

360
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: really wrong and She's like what, And I'm like, I

361
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 1: don't know where Cash is, but I think, like he's

362
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: really sick something. He's making a weird noise and in

363
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: my mind, I'm going, he couldn't breathe. He couldn't breathe,

364
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 1: Like that was the noise I was hearing. That was

365
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 1: the whole thing. And then the guilt of like, oh

366
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 1: my gosh, he did this all night long, totally alone.

367
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: I am like falling apart and then I can't find

368
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: him and I'm like, I something is wrong, Like we

369
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: need to call the emergency VET. Was so early in

370
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: the morning. I was like, We've got to call the

371
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 1: emergency VET. And I think we need to get him in.

372
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: I guarantee you the rest of my family if they'd

373
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: been here, they would have been like no, no, And

374
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: even Mackenzie a little bit, she was like, are really

375
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 1: you know, like, are you sure? Like how many t

376
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 1: have we been to the emergency bed for cash? Honestly,

377
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: I can't even tell you because he just eats everything

378
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 1: inside or he breaks a bone doing something insane. Oh,

379
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 1: but I just knew. I knew. And so I went

380
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: outside and I'm calling his name. She goes out the

381
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: side door calling his name. And We've got a fairly

382
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: big yard, and I'm like, I don't see him anywhere.

383
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: It's freezing outside, and so I go out and I'm

384
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: like looking around, and he had gone so far away

385
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: on the other side of these trees and kind of

386
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 1: like buried himself behind the trees and was just laying

387
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 1: in the cold grass. And I was like, oh, my god,

388
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 1: is so tramadish. I'm like, he is like trying to

389
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: go away from me because he doesn't want you know

390
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: that I've heard.

391
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 2: Yes, it's very classic for like herd animals and really

392
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 2: any kind of animal that like travels in a pact

393
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 2: when they're going to die to like go off and

394
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 2: find their own little place to pass away.

395
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: To me sick. It makes me sick because he's been

396
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 1: such a comfort and a buddy and just loved me

397
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: so well. Our whole family. Thomas Shraret would say the

398
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: same thing if you gave him enough time. But it

399
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: just made me sick. That he didn't say something and

400
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: that he was alone. It broke me. And when I

401
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: saw him in the sideyard, I like bolted. I took

402
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: off running and I this is sounds dramatic, I'm not

403
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 1: being dramatic. I literally threw my body over him and

404
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 1: I was like, no, no, nobody. I was like, I'm

405
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm gonna just like just crying.

406
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm so sorry. Meanwhile, my friends are pulling

407
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: up for me to get in the car to go

408
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: to the airport, and I'm just weeping over this dog

409
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 1: and they're like, are you okay. I'm like, no, something

410
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 1: is really wrong. I don't think he can breathe. I

411
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 1: think something is either stuck in there or and he

412
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: was trying to get it off all night long. Anyways,

413
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,719
Speaker 1: I call the emergency VAT. I tell him what's going on,

414
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: and They're like, well, he's breathing. I'm like barely, like

415
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 1: some like something is in there that needs to come out.

416
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: And so I'm thinking they're going to go in, They're

417
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 1: going to find what it is. They're going to remove it,

418
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: or maybe he's having a reaction to something his throat is,

419
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: you know, either way, they can give him something to

420
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: like for the swelling to go down, to remove the thing,

421
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 1: whatever it is. That's where my brain went. Well, they

422
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: get him in and I'm you know, before I go

423
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: to the airport, I'm like literally crying over him, telling

424
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: him how much I love him, telling him how sorry

425
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 1: I am, and just I kept saying why didn't you

426
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: say something? Why didn't you tell me buddy? And I

427
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: literally prayed over him, and I was like, Lord Jesus,

428
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,239
Speaker 1: please don't let this be the last like how I

429
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: see him like, it's going my guilt is going to

430
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:56,479
Speaker 1: eat me up if I know that he did this

431
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 1: all night long and I chose to go back to sleep.

432
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: It is so traumatic, which for you know, as a

433
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: pet mom, is a very traumatic pet story. Yes, And

434
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 1: so he goes and it was a very long, one

435
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five page specifically process to figure out

436
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: what in the actual heck happened to Little Cash. But

437
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: once they got him in, I'm, you know, sitting at

438
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 1: the airport and our flight's about to board, and I'm like,

439
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 1: do I need to cancel? Do I need to come in?

440
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: And They're like, honestly, you are welcome to come sit

441
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 1: with him. I do think every time someone has been

442
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 1: here this morning and it's someone he knows, it makes

443
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: him more excited, and it like all of his vitals

444
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: kind of starts to crash again. Yeah, anyways, he fully crashed,

445
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: and they were like, do you want us to intubate?

446
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: How do you want us to proceed? And I was like, honestly,

447
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: this can't be how I tell him by like, I

448
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: need one more moment on the couch where he knows

449
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: that I love him, appreciate him, Like I would never

450
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: intentionally leave him alone all night long to be that

451
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 1: by himself, right, So I'm like, yes, indubate him. Thomas

452
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: Rhett was I don't know, I can't remember where he was,

453
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: but I couldn't get a hold of in, and so

454
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, yes, just do it, Just do it.

455
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 2: And just to give the listeners a little context. What

456
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 2: happened was he lacerated his trachea, and we think it

457
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,199
Speaker 2: probably was a pumpkin stem. Like he's running with the

458
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 2: pumpkin stem, he falls our trips and that goes down

459
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 2: the back of his throat and makes a huge cut

460
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 2: into his airway, which is like inches two inches failing

461
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 2: in the wind. So they intubate him and put him

462
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 2: on a ventilator.

463
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 1: But we didn't know there was a laceration until like

464
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: because it was so swollen. Four days in yeah, I

465
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 1: mean this was I can't remember how many days, like five, six, five,

466
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: maybe five total. He was a nice you for like

467
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 1: almost a week it was. Anyways, so Christmas morning, yes

468
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: this was before Christmas. So Christmas morning, I'm like, I'm like,

469
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put cash on a leash. I'm gonna walk

470
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: him in front of our kids and be like, Merry

471
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: Christmas kids, Chrismas gift, this most expensive dog in America

472
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: and he'll lie here Christmas gift this year. Because Tom

473
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: strak kid being like I'm sorry, what are they doing?

474
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: But you know they would do a little bit more

475
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 1: and be like we think it's gonna be okay, and

476
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: they're like don't cancel your flight, get on your flight.

477
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 1: There's nothing you can do right now. He's here and

478
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 1: unless you want to come in, there's nothing you can do.

479
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: And so I'm like, well, I'm not gonna go in

480
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 1: there because he's gonna look at me like take me home,

481
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: don't leave me in here. Yeah, and I'm not trying

482
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: to do that. So I was like, Okay, I'm gonna go,

483
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 1: but call me if anything changes. Well, he crashed. They

484
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 1: intubated him, and then it was this whole roller coaster

485
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 1: of like, we still don't know. These are the vitals,

486
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: here's these lab reports all, and they're like, we're gonna

487
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 1: try this, and then they would slowly excavate and then

488
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: he'd get worse. Yes, it was awful. And then finally, finally,

489
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 1: after I think like the fourth day, the swelling had

490
00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: gone down enough that they were able to look back

491
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: there and that's when they called and they were like,

492
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: we found it. He has a two inch hole basically

493
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 1: in the back of his throat and they're like, do

494
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: you know of anything, And I'm like, I have no idea.

495
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't even know that he was hurt.

496
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 1: He came in that night before and just laid down.

497
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: But it just took time for it to like the

498
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 1: trauma to build up and to swell and for him

499
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 1: to start to, you know, slowly suffocate is what he

500
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 1: was doing. It makes me sick I think about it.

501
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 1: But he did finally kind of come out of it.

502
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: But the crazy part is, you know a lot of

503
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: times with humans, if you're a lot older and you

504
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: go through a lot of that, like intubating and kind

505
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: of being in and out of it, a lot of

506
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: times our bodies as humans don't do super well afterwards.

507
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: I mean, you're already older, but when you come out

508
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: of that, you were like one hundred years older, yes,

509
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: much older, unable to walk as well, unable to see,

510
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 1: like all the thing just everything kind of starts to tank. Yeah,

511
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: and so he's eleven. I was like, when I asked

512
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: the VAT, I'm like, so what is this? Like? Is

513
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: he going to be our dog on the other side

514
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: of this? And she was like, honestly, I know that

515
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: he's older, but like he's healthy. He's a healthy boy,

516
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 1: he's active, And so I was just like, what are

517
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: we gonna who are we going to be picking up

518
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 1: when this finally Anyways, he pulled through. He made it.

519
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,679
Speaker 1: But when we's he's a little he's a thicker, a

520
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: thicker puppy. And when I picked him up, he looked

521
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: half the size because they tried to get him to

522
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 1: eat something once he was able to use his throat again,

523
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: and he would not touch an ounce of food, just

524
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: not like him. No, he wouldn't eat. And I think

525
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: truly he was like, I have no will to live.

526
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: I've been in here for almost a week. I don't

527
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: want to live in here. And I just and he

528
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: was so weak, had a hard time walking, had such

529
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,199
Speaker 1: a hard time. We had to have this thing that

530
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 1: kind of like went underneath him and kind of we

531
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: could help. We could pull up and help his back

532
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 1: legs stand up a little bit just to walk into

533
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: the car. But he couldn't use his back legs for days, yeah,

534
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 1: almost a week, I mean, even just trying to go

535
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: over these we have two little steps right here, and

536
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: he would fall all the time. And I was like,

537
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, is this about to be Are we

538
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: about to have this dog that is almost crippled because

539
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:32,199
Speaker 1: of all of this trauma. And slowly I would, you know,

540
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 1: wet his food. And I was like boiling chicken. I'm like,

541
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: what do you what can I do for you to

542
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: try to get some kind of protein. He slowly, slowly

543
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: was like, okay, I'll try, but I think he was

544
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: traumatized from what happened here, and he's like, I don't

545
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: want to put anything else like that hurt.

546
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 2: He also, to mention, got a tracheotomy, which is not

547
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 2: like that is not super common, which is when they were.

548
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: Like normally at small dogs, we do this too. I'm like, wait, will,

549
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: he's one hundred and twenty.

550
00:28:58,280 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 2: Pounds, like he's a big boy, and he's got a

551
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 2: lot of thick like neck rolls.

552
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's when, oh my gosh, I know that was awfully.

553
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: The first I texted you, I was like, hey, could

554
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: you just come there's something you were coming over prezilia,

555
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: But I was like, also, can you just look at

556
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: his nets? Yeah, I'm like, need be someone else to

557
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: do this.

558
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 2: And it was the scab on his tracheotomy site was.

559
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: Huge, rely gnar.

560
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 2: Really so sometimes my job, honestly though, I don't know

561
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 2: how like you did humans, I would take a throat

562
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 2: scab or dog poop or vomit over humans, I think

563
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 2: because really, yeah.

564
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: I think the opposite, which is probably why exactly.

565
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'll take your throat scab off, no problem,

566
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 2: no gloves needed.

567
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just a lot of hair.

568
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 2: It was crusty, Yeah it was cross. But now, I

569
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,719
Speaker 2: mean compared to when the first time I saw him,

570
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 2: after that to now, I mean, he's up, He's running around,

571
00:29:56,360 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 2: his tails wagging, like, yeah, he is full of He.

572
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: Talks now, like not even vocally, but the way that

573
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: I feel like your animals talk to you. He didn't

574
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: talk for a very long time after. It's like I

575
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: would say something to him and he just was like blank,

576
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: and I was just like, oh my gosh, this just

577
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: wrecked him. He's never coming back. And I was happy

578
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: to have him here. But it took about a week

579
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: and then I would say something and he would kind

580
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: of look at me and I'd be like, oh, you

581
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: do want to talk. You are still here, you want

582
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: to And now he is back, and he's back at

583
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: eleven years old and he's going to live his ever

584
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: his life. And one of the reports it was like

585
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: for follow up and like moving forward, Cash is never

586
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: allowed to have any stick again. I was like, well,

587
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm gonna avoid that. I mean, I

588
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:53,719
Speaker 1: get it because that was really horrible, but sure, I

589
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: you know, at the end of the day, they are dogs.

590
00:30:58,280 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: I don't know.

591
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 2: Monny will make recommendations and I'm like, as I'm riding

592
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 2: at like, this is never gonna happen.

593
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,719
Speaker 1: But I have to say, recommending this is probably the

594
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: best thing. If this could happen in a perfect world. Yeah,

595
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: yeah from mellow Stick sweet that they were like, are

596
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: you recommending he never has another stick? Don't let him

597
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: chew on a stick. It's like that's gonna be.

598
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, okay, I'm just trying to remember to brush

599
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 2: my own teeth just at this point.

600
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: That's amazing. Okay.

601
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 2: One of my other favorite stories about coming over here

602
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 2: is one time I walk in and you are barefoot

603
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,520

604

Speaker 2: you're like, I don't usually sit with my feet on

605
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 2: the counter, but I have hurt myself getting off my horse.

606
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: And I love that.

607
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,680

00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: And so having Daisy is ma She's my sweet little

611
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: mustang from Wyoming and and she's she's so awesome. She's

612
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,719
Speaker 1: a little wild child, but she broke when you got her.

613
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: When you say mustang, I'm like, oh lord, that sounds yeah.

614
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: She was very green okay, but she had had a

615
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: saddle on her okay. And I think the guy that

616
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: worked with her before was super super kind to her,

617
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: and so she's he did a great job with her,

618
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: and she was new. We both kind of learned together

619
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: because the way I grew up learning horses was very

620
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: much like I love that horse, I'm gonna jump the

621
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: fence and me and my friends are gonna go ride

622
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: my friends horses. Yeah, without a whole lot of direction, reckless, abandoned, Yeah,

623
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: no helmets, just out there right. Yeah. And so this

624
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: time around, I was our horse trainer who just she

625
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: she helps me take care of our horses because they're

626
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 1: at our We have farmland like twenty five minutes from

627
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: our house and that's they stay, and so she goes

628
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: out and checks on them when we can't be there,

629
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: and she works with them and she's incredible. But I

630
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: just told her, I'm like, I love horses, and I

631
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: have my own experiences and what I do on horses,

632
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: but I just want you to pretend like I know

633
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:18,479
Speaker 1: nothing and start me over the way the way it's

634
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: supposed to work, give me a good foundation, a good foundation.

635
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: So it was sweet because I try to relearn things

636
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: the right way, which has been so much fun and

637
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: a great way to ride a horse. And then she's

638
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: kind of learned also, so we're kind of like learning

639
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: at the same time. Sweet and she's awesome. She I

640
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: probably try things with her that people would recommend that

641
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: you don't, but I'm like, she trusts me. I trust her,

642
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: and she's so good to me because she is, and

643
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: so I'll jump up on her bare in the field

644
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: in the past yure sometimes no bridle, yeah, and just

645
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: because she's not super tall. And so I'm like, if

646
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: I need to abandon ship, I can just hop off.

647
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 1: And I have done that before, but I'm usually doing

648
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: it in my riding boots. Yeah, you know. Yeah. So

649
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,359
Speaker 1: we were just playing out of the farm one day

650
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: and we had some friends over spending the night. We

651
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: were all staying out there, and I can't even remember

652
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: what we were doing in the field, but I wasn't

653
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,240
Speaker 1: even working with her nothing, but somebody I can't remember.

654
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: She and I somehow ended up in the pasture together,

655
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,359
Speaker 1: just hanging out, and I just jumped up on her

656
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: for a second and something happened and she kind of

657
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: started to move fast. And we have this little section

658
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: of trees in this one pasture, and she started to

659
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: go toward these low hanging trees and I was like, oh, no, no, no,

660
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,399
Speaker 1: I don't want to try to do that, and so

661
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 1: I went to get off of her quickly, and as

662
00:34:54,800 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: I did, I had muck boots on, like like thick, heavy, very.

663
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 2: Not sturdy, no, not so just yeah, are the rubber

664
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 2: ones rubber?

665
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, just zero support zero Yeah, not great, but

666
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,399
Speaker 1: they're thick, you know, thick, heavy boots. And I tried

667
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: to come off for and as I did, one of

668
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 1: my boots kind of just didn't let allow me to

669
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: come off the way that I should have, and so

670
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: she as she was going, I was trying to come off,

671
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: and I just came off completely sideways and landed just

672
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: on my right foot, my right leg. But as I did,

673
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: I just you know, just landed perfectly on the side

674
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 1: enough that my body weight rolled my ankle like nothing,

675
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: endy degrees. And I don't know much about ankle sprains

676
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: and tearing ligaments and things like that. But it was

677
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:52,319
Speaker 1: a grade three. Is that what he said? I can't

678
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: remember either way. He said, you tore up your ankle,

679
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 1: and I did. I totally both sides just tore up

680
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: the It's completely it's still kind of like swollen. It

681
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 1: is still swollen. Oh are you still limping a little?

682
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: Like there was a borderline emergency with one of my

683
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 1: kids yesterday and she'd pulled something heavy over on top

684
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 1: of her and I am trying to sprint through the

685
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: house and like willing my ankle to move, and it

686
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 1: was like totally frozen and I'm like trying to run

687
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: fast and like move, ankle move. This is like so yeah,

688
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: it's still not back to normal, but I'm able. I'm

689
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: like walking without my brace. And is this all episodes

690
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 1: full of traumatic stories? What in the world. I'm just kidding.

691
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: We really are not a traumatic family most of the time.

692
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: Holing my ankle will move. My child's got something heavy

693
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 1: on top of her. Doctor, that's amazing. And how how

694
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: old is Daisy? She's let's see when I met her,

695
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: I was pregnant with Lily those four years ago, and

696
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 1: I think she has that that brand you know that

697
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: mustangs have on their neck, and I think it tells you,

698
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 1: like all the things. I need to shave it down

699
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,399
Speaker 1: and look at it and see either his But I

700
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: think she's probably like nine, Okay, she's getting out like

701
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:17,919
Speaker 1: more mature now eight.

702
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's not as a good mayor. There's nothing better

703
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 2: than a good mayor.

704
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: But they're also total divas, oh totally.

705
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 2: And they're so smart. It's kind of like the girl dogs.

706
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:33,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's so much like ConA, and then our geldings

707
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 1: are so much like exactly the same way. It's so funny.

708
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,240
Speaker 1: But it's funny because where COONa is like Thomas Shreett's

709
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: person and I'm Cash is or the other way around,

710
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: he is her person. Daisy is for sure getting more attached. Yeah,

711
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:50,439
Speaker 1: I agree with that.

712
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 2: Has Thomas ever written a song about the dogs or animals?

713
00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: He has mentioned them in songs for sure. Yeah, there's

714
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,760
Speaker 1: a couple of songs. I feel like he's got lines

715
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 1: in there about something something in our dogs or what

716
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: is it? My gosh, this is horrible. It's another one

717
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,839
Speaker 1: of those episodes of like Lauren doesn't know her husband's music.

718
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 1: It is something we got I'm twenty five. What is

719
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:20,839
Speaker 1: the song sixteen? I can't say the line, but if

720
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 1: you go look it up, it's there. The dogs are

721
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:27,760
Speaker 1: twenty five drinking wine something. I've got a couple of dogs,

722
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: a couple of songs on the radio. There it is,

723
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 1: that's it, that's They're mentioned there. Your biggest fan. I

724
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 1: really am. Listen.

725
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 2: I have your stuff. You keep everything together, and you

726
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 2: can't recite lyrics.

727
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: Will take it. It's okay, thank you. I need to

728
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 1: hear take it.

729
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,359
Speaker 2: Do the dog to the dogs ever go on tour

730
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 2: or hit the road?

731
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 1: I can't. They did, okay, and then we just don't

732
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,760
Speaker 1: tour with him really anymore. Our girls are older.

733
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 2: Imagine packing up all four of your children. Yeah, the

734
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 2: dogs going on with we do? Will go to the

735
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:01,720
Speaker 2: beach with the dogs, okay.

736
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. And I have an extra long jeep. I grew

737
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 1: up My family grew up with an Excel suburban, and

738
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 1: I have the jeep version of that now. And we

739
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 1: piled up and drove to the beach, and so it's

740
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,400
Speaker 1: got the third row. But then like the extra space

741
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:26,839
Speaker 1: in the back, and you're all in there. We're all

742
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 1: get nine, we're all in there. So I put the

743
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 1: younger three in the first the bench in the middle

744
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:36,240
Speaker 1: of the truck, and then obviously the front two seats,

745
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,760
Speaker 1: and then Willa Gray, my oldest, she got the third

746
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 1: row and I she sat in the third row, and

747
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 1: then Cash I had him climb. I'm trying to think

748
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 1: how I did this. I think we laid the seat down,

749
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: Cash climbed in with wille Gray, put the seat back up.

750
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 1: Ada James sat in that seat, and so Cash literally

751
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: the whole ride laid in will the Gray's lab me home,

752
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: and then ConA had the back to herself with all

753
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 1: the bags. I cannot imagine. It was so I felt

754
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 1: so just like we're our whole family, all six of

755
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: us plus our two dogs, were going on a little

756
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: We're all together adventure and everybody's is everyone like keeping

757
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 1: themselves entertained? Or is it just like fighting screaming, laughing.

758
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 1: There are moments where somebody's like, I had that Barwie.

759
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 1: You know, she she took it. We're not you can't

760
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: take well, I don't know how to take. You're right,

761
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: we're not allowed to take. Lennon, give it back, don't

762
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,160

Speaker 1: It's amazing.

821
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 2: And this is a segment where I tell owners three

822
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 2: things I would never do with my own pets as

823
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 2: a veterinarian. The first of which you made me think

824
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 2: about earlier when you said that you took Kna to

825
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 2: the dog park. And this is not meant to shame you,

826
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 2: but I do tell owners I would not take my

827
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 2: new puppies to dog parks exactly for the reason that, yeah, I.

828
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 1: Feel that you found out I'm on your same page

829
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 1: now and.

830
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 2: It searched me because we like tell you, hey, socialize them,

831
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,359
Speaker 2: get them out there. So of course owners are gonna

832
00:43:58,360 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 2: be like, let's go to the.

833
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:00,879
Speaker 1: Dog and it feels easy. You're like, they just want

834
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 1: to run, let's just take them. Yeah, it does. It feels.

835
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: It feels easy till it's not.

836
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, until it alls till it's not. Skind No, so

837
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 2: I get why owners, you get. And to be fair,

838
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 2: I used to take my dog there back into bed school,

839
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:18,839
Speaker 2: and then I quickly realized that that is where.

840
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 1: They get into fights.

841
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 2: If they're really small, they're going to get picked on.

842
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:23,840
Speaker 2: A lot of the dogs will like gang up on

843
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,919
Speaker 2: other dogs. And really, I've just found that nothing good

844
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 2: comes from the dog park.

845
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: Oh kay, I feel that really honestly, Why didn't I know.

846
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 2: You ten years thirteen years thirteen years ago? Get well,

847
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 2: now you know? And so I do have owners say well,

848
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 2: what am I supposed to do? Then? And if you

849
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 2: can find a neighbor or a friend or a family

850
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:45,879
Speaker 2: member that has another dog that plays really nicely, that's

851
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 2: a great way to socialize.

852
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, I would avoid the dog park. Yeah, well,

853
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 1: now we now say less, okay, okay.

854
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 2: Number two on the list today is I would not

855
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 2: This is also something you have reminded me of. I

856
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:02,319
Speaker 2: would not neglect to my barn or outdoor cats, and

857
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 2: you and Thomas rat have barn cats.

858
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:07,479
Speaker 1: I've never had a cat before. My mom's alert lady

859
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 1: speaking of Oh she's yeah, she's really allergic. And so

860
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 1: we were just never allowed to have them. But we

861
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 1: have them now and I love them. I honestly, my

862
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,360
Speaker 1: whole life have been like people are like dogs or cats,

863
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 1: and I'm like dogs all day long, which I still

864
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 1: for sure, but I love our barn cats. Not only

865
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 1: do they keep the barn really clean, but they get along.

866
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: I was telling you, you know how you know, treat

867
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 1: oriented Cache is and the cats were getting a little

868
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,720
Speaker 1: treat one day, like a little it's like a spoon

869
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 1: that's almost like the peanut butter consistency, and one of

870
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 1: our cats was licking the treat in a little bit

871
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 1: got on his nose and Cash is coming up, and

872
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:50,759
Speaker 1: it took a while. I was like, are they going

873
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 1: to hurt each other? Like, you know, dogs and cats

874
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 1: don't get along, And thankfully everybody is buddies now, so

875
00:45:56,640 --> 00:46:00,399
Speaker 1: much so that when Pumpkin did have a little bit

876
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 1: of extra food on his face, Cash I look over

877
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: and Cash is licking his face. He's like, I'll get

878
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:09,319
Speaker 1: that for you. He's licking his face and Pumpkin's head

879
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:13,720
Speaker 1: is going like bat Pumpkin has whiplash every time Cash

880
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 1: is tongue okay in his face. I was like, actually,

881
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 1: I am so here for dog and cat. We're one

882
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 1: of my podcast episode.

883
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 2: We were talking about inner species relationships like a dog

884
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 2: and a cat, a duck and a donkey, like those

885
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 2: when they become friends.

886
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 1: So cute. Yeah, it's the cutest thing in the world. Explosion,

887
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,399
Speaker 1: It's so cute. But yeah, you've educated me a lot

888
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 1: on my barn cat and cats.

889
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:34,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, so, I mean it's just like any other pet,

890
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 2: and they need to maybe more so they need to

891
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 2: have more vaccines than the average. Are getting ready to

892
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 2: spay and neuter them, which is super important, and wondering

893
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 2: maybe if Mittens is pregnant.

894
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 1: We're trying to keep it to three cats right now,

895
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 1: but we shall see.

896
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 2: I'm going to bring you on on season four and so,

897
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 2: and you'd be like, no, I'm an owner of twenty

898
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 2: five cats.

899
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:55,399
Speaker 1: Yeah.

900
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:57,719
Speaker 2: So I just always tell people like make sure those

901
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 2: cats are still getting all like the basic in this

902
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,359
Speaker 2: care that all of your indoor pets are getting as well.

903
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 1: So and you guys do a great check with that.

904
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 2: When I guess this will bring me to my last

905
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 2: point and Cash licking pumpkins face makes me think of this.

906
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:15,399
Speaker 2: A lot of times owners will call me and say, hey,

907
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 2: my cat has a cold or my dog has diarrhea,

908
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 2: and they wonder like, can my cat get this from

909
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:22,479
Speaker 2: my dog? Or vice versa, can I get this.

910
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 1: From my pets?

911
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 2: And it's not all the time, but most of the

912
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 2: time these things are species specific.

913
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:32,279
Speaker 1: That's so nice. We actually just had sickness go through

914
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 1: the house last week and I did think, I'm like,

915
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 1: who have the dogs licked or eaten after? Are they

916
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 1: going to get the stomach bug? Yeah, that my kids have.

917
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 1: Thankfully everybody was fun dogwise.

918
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 2: A really big one was COVID. People were really stressed

919
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 2: like can my dogt it? Can I get it from

920
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 2: my dog? Can I give it to my dog? And

921
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 2: we found out that that's not the case. And so

922
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 2: the majority of those viruses, like neuural virus and the flu,

923
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 2: we don't get from our pets. So it gives you

924
00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 2: a little extra reassurance. So when Cash is looking everyone's.

925
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: Face after everyone's face.

926
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:08,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, we are in the clear, perfect yep.

927
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 1: One last thing for you to worry about. That's right,

928
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:11,640

935
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:29,600

00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:30,960

940
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:39,560
Speaker 1: don't see you as a bet I hope not. I

941
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 1: try my hardest. It's good because they don't love the vet,

942
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:43,920
