1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:17,200
Okay, I am hopping on here again really quick.

2
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:22,320
It's about seven hours since transport left and there's a couple changes.

3
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,680
I'm sure there's a way to edit an episode, but I barely know what I'm doing in the first

4
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:31,880
place, so you're just gonna get an episode and a half today.

5
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:36,680
First of all, the Mama Cat and her kittens did get to go.

6
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,920
I am so thankful that was really stressing me out.

7
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:44,200
Jessica and I were going to see if we could board them at a vet until a foster spot opened

8
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,320
up for them, but it was gonna cost us so much money.

9
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:52,040
So we are really lucky and really thankful that that all worked out.

10
00:00:52,040 --> 00:01:01,000
Second, if you are fostering one of the four F litter puppies, the story on the actual Olympic

11
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:06,760
Sports Transport podcast is not the story for your litter.

12
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,440
That litter, the original Fs were Cada Hula Mixes.

13
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,840
I was already on the fence about sending one of them.

14
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:18,840
He had been fairly puny a few days ago, so we had the foster take him to the vet.

15
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:23,440
They did a parbo test, actually they did two parbo tests because they weren't sure if the

16
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,160
first one worked.

17
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:26,400
Both tests were negative.

18
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:32,040
They did a fecal and they saw he had a ton of hookworms, massive amount.

19
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:37,640
So he started treatment for that, but he was actually getting worse instead of better.

20
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:43,480
So about two hours before transport was supposed to start, his foster was going to bring the

21
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,840
other three puppies and his litter to one of our rescue partners Hope, who was going

22
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:53,480
to load up all of her litter that she was bringing and bring them to the doghouse.

23
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,360
But I just had a gut feeling that this was not just worms.

24
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:04,880
So I had Hope scour the internet for a vet open on Saturday mornings and then the foster

25
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,680
raced her puppy up there.

26
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:11,000
She got there like minutes before they closed and then ended up waiting in there like over

27
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,040
an hour before they even got a room for her.

28
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,520
And unfortunately my gut instinct was correct.

29
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:23,720
It was parbo, which means no one from that litter can go even though the other three

30
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,160
are completely fine and healthy so far.

31
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,680
So that's a bummer.

32
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:34,400
But what is super amazing is that the foster literally left her credit card on file at

33
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,480
the vet, left the puppy there and was like, save his life at all costs.

34
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:39,520
I do not care.

35
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,920
He cannot die.

36
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:50,280
We typically treat parbo with ourselves just with our fosters because it's like hundreds

37
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,240
if not thousands of dollars per puppy.

38
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:54,960
So that's really amazing.

39
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,280
So then that left me with four empty spots on my spreadsheet.

40
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,920
You know I can never let that happen.

41
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:05,640
So I started pitching puppies to Jacqueline.

42
00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:09,840
We had about an hour before everyone had to start heading to the doghouse for transport.

43
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:14,920
So they needed to be a litter that was close enough to get and had owners that we could

44
00:03:14,920 --> 00:03:16,760
get in touch with quickly.

45
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:23,480
Luckily, the four new f-litter puppies, their owner was on the ball.

46
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,680
As soon as hope reached out to her, she was like, yes, we're home.

47
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,240
Yes, come get them.

48
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,760
Otherwise, this litter wasn't going to be able to go until September.

49
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:40,240
So these four F healer mixes are owner surrenders.

50
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:45,680
They are from the same home as the G litter of five from the September 20th, 2022 wedding

51
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:46,680
transport.

52
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:53,040
That's when I got married and super ironically, they are from the same home as the C litter

53
00:03:53,040 --> 00:04:01,560
of four on the March 6th, 2021 winter Olympic sports.

54
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,400
So that's crazy.

55
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,080
We thought this was really weird because we spayed both of those mamas when we pulled

56
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:13,640
their other litters, but the owner said that they also have the daddy of all three of these

57
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:18,760
litters and he has been knocking up any stray that walks by.

58
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:23,480
So needless to say, he's not going to be very happy with me in a few days when he realizes

59
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,200
his rambling days are over.

60
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:32,680
The transport otherwise went really smoothly, very hot, but that's Mississippi for you.

61
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:40,240
Oh, and luckily, big mama medley got to go today because as soon as we all left and

62
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:45,560
we headed back to our houses, we got a call about a dead dog on the side of a bridge about

63
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,920
a block away from the dog house only.

64
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,560
It wasn't dead.

65
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,000
I still don't totally know what could have been going on with it.

66
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,440
It could have been heat stroke, it could have been hit by a car and was still in shock.

67
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,160
It is so insanely malnourished.

68
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,960
It maybe was just a war slap out and just laying there.

69
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:05,960
I don't know.

70
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:10,880
But Jessica ran over there because it was just down the hill from her house and looked

71
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,800
him over, didn't see any injuries.

72
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,120
So she loaded him up and took him to the dog house.

73
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,720
I half expected him to just lay down and die when he got there.

74
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,640
Honestly, I mean, he was that pitiful.

75
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,440
He parked right up.

76
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,280
He walked around, he ate a bunch, he drank a ton of water.

77
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:31,720
He probably thought he had died and gone to heaven.

78
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,720
So I don't know what's going on with him.

79
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,440
He could be someone's dog.

80
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,240
There could be something more serious wrong with him that we'll find out about tomorrow.

81
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,160
Or he could be coming to you on the next transport.

82
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,520
I don't know.

83
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:50,240
But I do know that his night is a whole lot better tonight than he thought it was going

84
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:55,680
to be thanks to Medley Sposter in Virginia who got her out of the dog house so he could

85
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,680
move in.

86
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:03,240
Anyways, my caffeine from Friday is officially long gone.

87
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:08,920
It is 12.30 so you know my baby is asleep and I'm about to head that way too.

88
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,420
Thanks for listening.

89
00:06:10,420 --> 00:06:12,360
Thanks so much for supporting us.

90
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,920
And oh, make sure you go watch that cat video that I posted.

91
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,240
It is so crazy.

92
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:24,240
It's a rough life but someone's got to do it.
