1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Jonesy and Demanda podcast.

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 2: I was saddened over the weekend to hear about Nagi

3
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 2: Mahashi's dog Dozer. I'm a big fan of her books,

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 2: Recipe Tin Eats. She's a great cook, great communicator. Many

5
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,479
Speaker 2: many Australians have her books on their bookshelves, and in

6
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 2: all of her videos, and in all of her book

7
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 2: covers and in all of her social media she features

8
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 2: her beautiful dog, Dozer, who passed away in the last

9
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 2: few days. Doza was fourteen, and she chronicled kind of

10
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 2: what was going on with him. He was in at

11
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 2: the vets and he was being given oxygen, and she

12
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 2: kind of normalized stepping away from work for a while

13
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 2: to look after her pet. And it's a conversation that

14
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 2: we never used to have. And now I think it's

15
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 2: quite all right to say, Hey, I'm just stepping away

16
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 2: because my shadow is in trouble. Oh I'm thinking about

17
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 2: this because I spoke about this last year that my

18
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 2: husband's I'm well, my dad is ninety two, my dog

19
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 2: is fourteen. She's had to check up recently. She's age appropriately.

20
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: She passed with Flying Colour's friend.

21
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 2: I don't say she passed.

22
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: No, she passed the test. A test she did. She did.

23
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 2: Look she's going okay, but she's getting older. And many

24
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: of us have lost a dog. Many of us know

25
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 2: the pain of that. And I really just felt for Nagi,

26
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,279
Speaker 2: and I thought we'd play this poem that I boiled

27
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: my eyes out to last time we played it, So Jonesy,

28
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 2: you're gonna have to lean into the Kumbaya moment that's

29
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 2: about to come past the tissues. This is a beautiful

30
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: poem by a poet called Josie bolker Port. If you've

31
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 2: ever had a dog, you know, if it.

32
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: Could be with desk dog, I'd want the dog days

33
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: to last forever. It would always be this dog on

34
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: the end of the leash, no matter the weather, rain

35
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: or shine, taking our time on even the coldest of das.

36
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: It would always be this dog leaving scratches on the

37
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: hardwood and getting them away while I vacuum up the

38
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: very fury evidence that this house belongs to both of us.

39
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: It would always be this dog at the front door

40
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: when I get home from work, peezing around like nothing

41
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: has ever been more joyful than this moment, every single time.

42
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: If it were up to me, I'd have to leave

43
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: every party early for the rest of my life to

44
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: get home to this dog. I show the last blaite

45
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: of every meal, apologize to every guest for the breed

46
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: of excitement. When they arrive, I take a grain salked

47
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,119
Speaker 1: coach and muddy pop brinds in the front hallway. I'd

48
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: willingly find hairs on every sweater I ever wear, but

49
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: I'd only do it for this dog, because if it

50
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: were this dog, I don't want the dog days to

51
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: last forever.

52
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: Dog. Oh, someone, you have to talk now.

53
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: Oh that's sad.

54
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 2: It's a beautiful palm, And you know I'm feeling for Nagi,

55
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 2: who her dog is so loved and as she has said,

56
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: thank you for all the years of love that you've

57
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: shown Dozer, for sharing your own fur baby stories, and

58
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 2: for making him feel so deeply adored beyond our little

59
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 2: world
