00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:15,080
Hello friends! Welcome to Rough Life! It is the night before transport, so who knows how

2
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:20,040
accurate this is going to end up being. But it's only a mini this week, so how wrong can

3
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:29,560
I be? There are only 38 critters on the list, 24 dogs, and 14 kittens, which is great because

4
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:38,080
Jacqueline told me I could only send 12 kittens. We love transport math. The theme is candy because

5
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:45,240
I wanted Troll to be able to keep his name, and so with that let's start with his story. Trolli,

6
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:52,120
or Troll as he's known down here, I posted his whole story on the Fosters page earlier this week,

7
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:58,360
so if you read that you can skip ahead a minute or two because I am just gonna be saying the exact

8
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:04,600
same thing. Let me tell you about our sweet Troll baby. Terrible name, but he was found on a bridge.

9
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:10,600
What else am I supposed to name him? Several transports ago, everyone had just gotten home and

10
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:16,640
was cooling off. I was still tracking my 90 minute drive back home when we were sent a picture of

11
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:21,720
Troll. One of the neighbors of the doghouse was driving on the bridge on the corner of the doghouse

12
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:29,400
road. He was on his golf cart with a friend and when he saw Troll they actually thought that he

13
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:35,560
was dead and he had been hit by a car. So they walked over to him and the friend kicked his foot

14
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:43,640
and Troll didn't move. So the friend goes, yeah he's dead and they were about to move him out of

15
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:49,160
the road. Honestly they were probably planning on throwing him off the bridge when Troll wagged

16
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:55,960
the very tip of his tail. So my neighbor snapped a pic on his phone and sent it to us and you can

17
00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:03,160
see Troll's tail wagging in the picture. Well I wasn't home but I was too far to come back

18
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:09,480
and Becky had just gotten home so since it was at the edge of Jessica's property line anyways

19
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,800
she drew the short stick and she ran down there. She scooped him up and she took him to the doghouse.

20
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:19,160
I was fairly certain that he was gonna need to go to the emergency vet but Jess said despite him

21
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:25,960
being insanely weak and dizzy he seemed fine. So then I was fairly certain that she had no idea

22
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:30,920
what she was talking about and that we were gonna have a dead dog in the doghouse by morning. But

23
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:37,320
plot twist just was right. We watched the nanny cams all night long and he only moved two or

24
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:42,920
three times but each of those times it was to get up, get some food to eat, drink a bunch of water

25
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:50,040
and pee all over the floor. But no one had taught him the doggy door yet so that's okay. He was very

26
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:56,280
slow and he was very wobbly but he was alive. So we were all pretty surprised when he was still

27
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:02,280
live in the morning and we had our vets take a look at him. Nothing was broken, no internal bleeding,

28
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:07,720
no parasites in his vehicle but I did have Jess hit him with a heavy dewormer the night before so

29
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:14,280
that might be why. The only thing that was wrong with him is he was super super anemic. His other

30
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,920
blood work was fantastic. He was heartworm negative and he was about eight months old

31
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:29,080
but he was severely underweight. He was weighing in at 12 pounds when he should have been about 45 to 50.

32
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:36,200
He's been with us for well over a month now and we have watched an absolute miracle firsthand. He

33
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:42,840
has gone from a dog that couldn't even walk up the one step in the garage to get into the house

34
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:48,360
to a dog that is running, playing, busting in and out the doggy door whenever he wants,

35
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:56,280
a dog who had literally every bone in his body protruding to a thick and healthy 30 pounds,

36
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:02,440
a dog who could barely even stand up and take just a few steps so he didn't pee where he was

37
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:08,840
sleeping to a dog that is running wild and holding his own with 10 plus other dogs at

38
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:16,280
doggy daycare all day every day. I don't know if troll was hit by a car and was lying on the side

39
00:04:16,280 --> 00:04:21,720
of the bridge in a daze. I don't know if he was wandering around and got heat stroke and just

40
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:27,800
couldn't make it off the bridge but what I do know is someone did this to him unless there is

41
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,760
something seriously medically wrong with a dog like kidney failure or blood diseases something

42
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:39,240
serious. They do not get this skinny just from being a stray dog. They'll dig through the garbage,

43
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:44,760
they'll eat grass and sticks, they'll kill smaller animals, they may be underweight,

44
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:50,920
but starving to death is not why stray dogs die. A dog only gets like this if they are

45
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:58,520
chained up or confined without a way to find food on their own. A dog only gets like this

46
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:05,560
if someone starves them. It was well over 100 degrees the day we found troll. He could not

47
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:11,560
have walked far considering he could barely walk at all and we know all the people in the nearby

48
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:17,560
houses and he didn't come from any of their homes. So I would bet whoever did this to him

49
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:23,320
thought he was dead too. Maybe he didn't wag his tail for them or maybe he did and they just didn't

50
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:28,360
care because they knew he was on death's door anyways and they loaded him up and they dumped him

51
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:34,040
on that bridge. He wouldn't have made it through the night on the bridge. Someone else might have

52
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:39,000
stopped and picked him up but I doubt it. It's a gravel road that's mainly just traveled on by the

53
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:45,240
people in the houses on that road and none of them would have stopped for a dead dog. It's a heavily

54
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:51,160
wooded area with lots of coyotes that would have definitely eaten him that night and if they didn't

55
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:56,200
he would have died from heat stroke by noon the next day. Whoever left him there knew they were

56
00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:04,200
leaving him for dead and I wish more than anything that we knew who it was just so I could tell them

57
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:11,160
what a wonderful happy loving full life troll is gonna have now. I don't know who did this but I

58
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:18,280
would bet my life that troll is gonna live in a home bigger than theirs. He's gonna go on better

59
00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:23,960
vacations than them. He's gonna sleep in a nicer bed than theirs and he is going to be happier than

60
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:29,800
they have ever been a day in their life. Troll is gonna have a better life than he could have ever

61
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:37,400
dreamed of because some terrible cruel heartless unhappy monster left him to die and I just want

62
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:43,960
to tell them that. Okay skippers you can come on back now you are not going to want to miss this

63
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:55,240
next story. Baby bottle pop y'all better buckle up for this one. BBP or Ethel which is her actual

64
00:06:55,240 --> 00:07:04,040
name has had quite a crazy life. She is a two-year-old purebred standard poodle. Her owner posted her

65
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:11,720
on a Facebook page for rescues anonymously saying quote I am looking for a northern rescue to take

66
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:17,000
a litter of standard poodle puppies. I am afraid to adopt out to people in Mississippi because of

67
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:24,520
the number of breeders here. I am posting anonymously I will explain why privately. Now if you know me

68
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:33,640
you know I'll explain why privately automatically has me invested and lucky for me our rescue partner

69
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:42,440
Hope does know me well. She knew I was gonna want in on this. So Ethel's owner messages us and this

70
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:49,960
is what she says. So long story short my boss sold me on this whole quote ethical breeding

71
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:55,400
ordeal. So ethical breeding is like legitimate registered breeders who are more interested

72
00:07:55,400 --> 00:08:01,720
in the breed as a whole and making sure that the breed their breeding is the healthiest it can be.

73
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:10,520
So no one in the south and it's absolutely no one who has to be sold on it by their bosses.

74
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:17,160
Okay so anyways the owner goes on to say so I bought into it with a female poodle that she gave

75
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:22,680
to me. I've read her once and she absolutely hated it and I swore to never do that again.

76
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:28,360
So after rehoming all of the puppies to amazing families and leaving that job I decided since

77
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:33,640
I wasn't going to be breeding that I didn't need two extra poodles. Even though I loved them I just

78
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:39,000
wanted them to go to a new loving family that wouldn't breed them and would spay them. So I

79
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:44,520
adopted out the two females. Well I knew one of the ladies that adopted very well the other I only

80
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:50,440
knew from Facebook. So after digging on her page I felt she would give she would be a good owner

81
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:55,560
for the other female and I met her to give it a chance. She's very well off she explained that she

82
00:08:55,560 --> 00:09:03,000
had another female standard poodle and she wanted a sister for her Maggie. Well I was so excited so

83
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:08,600
for weeks she sent me updates of how the two poodles loved to play together and asked all the right

84
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:14,280
questions. I explained the situation and I told her that she needed to be spayed as soon as possible.

85
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:24,520
She agreed. Then all capital letters then she messages me to confess that she lied to me.

86
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:31,400
Her dog was not a female but a male and she bred my dog with him. I of course was not happy but

87
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:36,760
what could I do? It was my fault for not spaying her first. So I had to leave well enough alone.

88
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:43,240
That was until I got a message saying she can't keep the poodle I gave her now. Now that she's

89
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:50,120
pregnant and she wants to this is all capital letters. She wants to give her back to me full of

90
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:57,080
puppies and then asked me if when she does have puppies could her and her daughter have two females.

91
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:02,680
So I agreed just to ensure I get the dog back. I get her back thank god that I block the lady

92
00:10:02,680 --> 00:10:07,080
and she gets bent out of shape because I tell her I'm finding a rescue for the puppies and she

93
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:12,760
can't have any. Now before we go throwing stones at the owner here she knows she messed up.

94
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:19,080
She sent us another message right after that roller coaster of a message and she said well I guess

95
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:25,720
that wasn't a short story. I'm sorry I had to type all that out. I know that it was my job as her

96
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:32,120
owner to have her spayed and I failed her and now she has to do this crap again. But I'm very happy

97
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:36,760
I got her back because I do love her. She's an angel but I have to find a good placement for

98
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:41,640
these puppies when they're born at the end of September. I can keep them of course until transport

99
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:46,760
is available in their weaned but I am just sick to my stomach that I trusted this lady

100
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:53,560
and more so sick that I allowed her to leave me without being spayed prior. She then proceeds to

101
00:10:53,560 --> 00:11:00,120
send us screenshots of her messages with the lady she gave Ethel to and if there's anything I love

102
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:08,120
more than I'll explain why privately it's receipts. I love me some screenshots and while nothing would

103
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:14,120
make me happier than to read you text by text of their conversations for the sake of time I will

104
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:18,760
just hit you with the interesting ones. The lady she gave her to messages her and says

105
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:27,320
so I think I need to confess I lied I told you our poodle was female well Maggie is really Moose

106
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:35,000
and he is a male. I was afraid you wouldn't give Ethel to me Moose is about to be four years old

107
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,560
and he was a rescue from someone who was moving to Texas and couldn't take him with no he was not a

108
00:11:39,560 --> 00:11:43,880
rescue if you take him from someone just because it's your friend and they can't take their dog

109
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:49,560
with them you're just rehoming a dog it's not a rescue she goes I hope you're not mad then a few

110
00:11:49,560 --> 00:11:55,880
days later she writes the original owner back and she says hi so we've hit a bump in the road

111
00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:01,720
I've had heart issues this past week and I am very weak my husband is concerned about having Ethel

112
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:06,280
here with her being bred and that it's going to be too much on me we've asked a couple members of

113
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:11,080
the family to take her but they can't I felt I owed you the respect to give you a chance to get her

114
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:16,280
back tell me your thoughts but we would want two of her puppies for our two daughters and they would

115
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:21,080
have to be females okay so you're totally going to keep breeding them so they end up exchanging

116
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:28,280
the dog back the owner blocks the breeder on Facebook immediately and then the breeder

117
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:33,960
sends her a text saying wow I thought you were a good person I'm going to assume blocking me

118
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:40,520
was because you have something to hide you and I have a binding contract and it is in writing

119
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:45,000
I am not sure what made you do this but I am sure your best friend is the one who told you to because

120
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:52,840
her attitude towards me was really rude I really hate you did this then the owner who we want to

121
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:57,800
hate but we're not going to because she's righting her wrongs now she writes her back and she says

122
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:02,680
Ethel shouldn't have been bred the first time and that was a mistake on my part but as I told you

123
00:13:02,680 --> 00:13:06,920
before she didn't do good with the puppies and I wanted her to have a good home where she wouldn't

124
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:14,200
ever be bred again it wasn't accidental I have the messages you sent me where you said you held

125
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:20,120
her down so moose could mate with her she sent us that she sent us the screenshot where the breeder

126
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:25,800
said she held her down oh my gosh so she goes on I'm not trying to be rude to anyone I just don't

127
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:30,520
want any problems I appreciate you taking care of her but as I said before she needed to be spayed

128
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:36,280
immediately Ethel wasn't in any condition to be bred we sent her to live with you after you told me

129
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:41,400
she was going to be fixed and that you only had a female dog in the home we should have had her

130
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:46,760
spayed before re-homing her but I trusted you there is no contract if she is pregnant I will

131
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:51,480
send her puppies to a northern rescue where people will love them and get them fixed I only blocked

132
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:56,840
you because I didn't want any problems I just wanted the best life for Ethel so that's the end

133
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:03,480
of the screenshots so the original plan was for the owner to keep Ethel and her puppies until they

134
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,960
were weaned and then she would send just the puppies to us and we would pay to have Ethel spayed

135
00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:13,720
but I told Hope to tell her if she gave us Ethel now we would send her to Virginia while she was

136
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:19,240
still pregnant it would be easier on the puppies and Ethel would give birth in a foster home with

137
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:26,440
one of the best veterinarians in the entire world on call 24-7 if she needed anything so Hope worked

138
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:31,640
her magic and the next day Ethel's owner wrote back and said after looking into Wolf Trap she

139
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:36,600
knew Ethel would have the life she deserved and what she has wanted for her all along and a few

140
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:46,760
days later we got her okay so half of this podcast is just these first two dogs so sorry but they

141
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:54,520
had some wild stories okay on to everybody else the J-litter of two are from my mom's friend the

142
00:14:54,520 --> 00:15:02,120
hurricane brought us several days of much needed but non-stop pouring rain it was great for our

143
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:07,160
ponds and plants but not so great for these two puppies that were dumped at the friend's house

144
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:12,200
they let the puppies ride out the storms on their beautiful wrap-around porch my mother wrote this

145
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:17,800
can you tell on their beautiful wrap-around porch I wouldn't even know what a wrap-around porch is

146
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,080
they let the puppies ride out the storms on their beautiful wrap-around porch

147
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:28,920
um and they have a grown German shepherd and couldn't afford two more dogs so she asked if we would

148
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:33,720
take them her kids were getting way too attached to them though so she asked if my mom would foster

149
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:38,760
them until transport we are kind of wondering though if her German shepherd is the daddy and

150
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:46,040
that's why these puppies ended up getting dumped at their house the N-litter of two are from Jessica

151
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:51,720
and this might be the first time ever that we have a real background story on one of hers

152
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:58,600
this is the message she sent me to ask me if I would take them I know this is probably a no

153
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:08,040
and that's fine but it is a decent story since I never provide those so our friend has two 16

154
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:15,000
week old husky puppies the mom was supposedly a purebred and belonged to our friend's niece

155
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:23,160
the niece bred her for drug money and then couldn't take care of the puppies anymore the mom died

156
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:28,120
and these two puppies are all that's left so our friend took them and has been trying to

157
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:35,240
get rescues to take them for weeks the niece now wants one of them back but she's telling her that

158
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,960
a rescue has already committed and paid for stuff so she can't have it which isn't true but she's

159
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:45,880
trying to stall and so I told Jessica first of all good job using your words and telling me a story

160
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:54,360
but second yes they can go and so then we found out today that tomorrow the day of transport

161
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:59,320
is our friend's birthday and she said this is the best present anyone could have ever gotten her

162
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:07,480
the d-litter of two um we got a message saying someone had dumped two pitiful puppies in their

163
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:13,720
neighborhood she said that a neighbor dog attacked one of them so another neighbor loaded her up and

164
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:19,320
took her to the vet 14 stitches later she's as good as new the neighbor agreed to foster them

165
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:24,520
and keep them safe until transport their kids were pretty weepy about them leaving but we

166
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:30,280
promised that we would send them pictures and they were very happy to hear that the c-liter of two

167
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:37,480
are from the same lady that had the t-liter of five from the august 17th Olympic transport

168
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:45,240
last month that seems so long ago it was just last month someone had dropped off two more puppies

169
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:51,000
at her house she said people drop off animals at her house all the time and when our rescue partner

170
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:56,760
hope went to pick them up no one was home but the lady's very aggressive German shepherd the mama of

171
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:03,560
the t-liter was not about to let hope get out of her car much less pick up these two puppies so she

172
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:08,600
set her phone up to record just in case she needed video proof of how she was attacked by a dog

173
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:14,920
after feeding her two cans of Vienna sausages do you have Vienna sausages in Virginia

174
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:20,600
anyways the mama was warming up to her a little bit and she was about to make her move when the

175
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:25,960
son pulled into the driveway to save the day so hope asked him if he would put the puppies in her

176
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:32,760
crate for her and he even said that he can't turn his back on the mama dog so it is a miracle she

177
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:42,280
got out of there unscathed the s-liter of 14 yes you heard me right 14 all one litter they are not

178
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:49,000
family friends they are coming from the same home as the f-liter of seven on the April 6

179
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:57,640
2022 chips transport and the b-liter of six from the September 27th 2022 islands transport

180
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,400
I left for my honeymoon the day after that transport I loved that transport

181
00:19:02,360 --> 00:19:08,680
anyway the owner contacted us the day they were born she sent a picture of the mama and 14 babies

182
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:15,240
and said what do I do someone had dropped her off pregnant and the family took her in but they were

183
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:21,160
shocked when the babies kept coming and coming we gave her some formula to help supplement mama's milk

184
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:27,720
but she did a great job keeping them all fat and healthy miraculously they all lived and since we

185
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:32,840
had taken two of their other litters in the past the owner knew the drill and she had fallen in love

186
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:39,320
with the mama and already had a spay appointment with our favorite dr. Jami the owner said that her

187
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:45,560
kids will be a little sad that they're gone but they are all thankful that they're going to Virginia

188
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:53,320
and they are looking forward to a break from 14 puppies that's all the pups on this mini transport

189
00:19:53,320 --> 00:20:00,600
as for the cats whopper was found in a ditch after the hurricane came through a few weeks ago he

190
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:08,200
nearly drowned in the ditch but he's made a full recovery almond joy and fun dip were both trapped

191
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:13,560
during a tnr project that we helped with they're not related they were on separate sides of town

192
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:21,480
but they are the same tnr project that we helped with almond joy came from an alley downtown and

193
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:28,440
fun dip came from behind the kfc dumpster the person who trapped them said fun dip was so little

194
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:35,000
when she got it she doesn't know how it set off the trap York peppermint patty is from Jessica

195
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:40,360
when I asked her for the background story she said I'm just going to copy and paste my message to

196
00:20:40,360 --> 00:20:45,560
you when I told you I got another kitten but tell everyone that my favorite part about this message

197
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:51,400
is that i sent it four hours after i said i was definitely not pulling any more kittens until

198
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:58,760
after the wedding so the message she sent was in a group message with my mom and Jessica she goes

199
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:04,440
well Katie you're gonna kill me and I probably deserve it but I'm putting this in the group

200
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:10,680
message because I know Becky will take my side and it'll be two against one I went to pick up the

201
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:17,560
food at Walmart so Walmart donates their like returned or busted bags of animal food and supplies

202
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:22,360
so if a bag of kitty litter gets ripped open when they're putting it on a shelf they throw it in a

203
00:21:22,360 --> 00:21:29,320
pile for us or if like a can of dog food falls off the shelf and it gets dented we end up getting it

204
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:35,000
anyways she said there were three workers all looking down at where all the big semi-trucks

205
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:40,120
were parked and there was a little tortie kitten running around it would have been flat by the

206
00:21:40,120 --> 00:21:45,880
time all the trucks left this afternoon it took all of us to catch it but it didn't go wild so I

207
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:51,640
think it'll be fine ironically for the first time ever in all of the donations over the six years

208
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:57,240
they've been giving them to us there was a small pet taxi in the pile and I didn't have a crate with

209
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:03,800
me so I didn't know what I was going to do to take it home I didn't kill her but I had just

210
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:09,000
told her four hours earlier that we had way too many cats in our system and we needed to slow down

211
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:15,000
on what we were pulling especially because she is our cat foster and she is neck deep planning

212
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:22,600
her only child's wedding right now the m litter of seven or I don't even know how many there actually

213
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:29,240
are just asked me a few weeks ago if I would take them and she sent me five pictures so I put them

214
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:33,320
down as a litter of five then for weeks she's been saying the litter of six the litter of six don't

215
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:38,280
forget about the litter of six and I just assumed it was a typo because if you've ever texted with

216
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:43,720
Jessica you know she doesn't proof read a dang thing anyways I finally said are you sure it's

217
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:48,360
six I only have five pictures and she goes oh yeah I think I only sent five pictures but there's

218
00:22:48,360 --> 00:22:55,240
definitely six I have six pictures so I add the six one to the list then yesterday I remind her that

219
00:22:55,240 --> 00:23:02,520
I still need their genders and she writes back okay there's two girls and five boys okay well

220
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:10,040
that's not six she said apparently the owner put them outside and when our bottle feeder foster

221
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:14,920
heard that she went and got them after work today to make sure that they would be safe until transport

222
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:20,760
tomorrow and she found seven kittens when she went to get them in the yard we later found out that the

223
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:25,720
owner had been giving them away but whoever was supposed to pick up the seventh one just never

224
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:31,000
came and got it so we ended up getting it too the owner is keeping the mama and already has an

225
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:38,200
appointment to get her spayed but just as a little fun fact for you talking about what a terrible

226
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:51,160
texter Jessica is she was she was messaging with our jail fosters our fosters who are in jail

227
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,040
and she was trying to say

228
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:06,040
she was trying to say I will be there around two to pick the puppy up but instead of around

229
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:12,840
she said I'll be there porn to pick her up and they wrote back and they said

230
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:18,360
lol um okay sounds good leave the porn at home please

231
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:27,400
and Jessica wrote back and said it took me several minutes to figure out what you meant

232
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:32,120
I am so sorry there will be no porn involved in today's pickup

233
00:24:32,120 --> 00:24:39,320
but when she sent me that screenshot I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe I think about that

234
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:46,760
all the time and I just crack up she's always sending crazy typos but that is the best one

235
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:53,960
ever I think that is so funny okay last story I am so sorry this is taking so long

236
00:24:55,080 --> 00:25:01,080
and the l letter of three are coming from a local shelter but their backstory is that a lady was

237
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:07,480
able to trap a very pregnant semi feral cat and brought her inside to have her kittens she very

238
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:11,960
slowly warmed up to the lady and as soon as the kittens were old enough and tame enough

239
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:16,760
she took them to the shelter and they spayed the mama cat for her and she's keeping her

240
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:23,000
the shelter is very thankful that we're helping them with their overcrowded population after these

241
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:28,520
leave they're able to make room for another litter of kittens that has been on a very long

242
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:37,240
intake wait list oh my this was way too long of an episode for it to just be a mini transport

243
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:43,720
but we have another transport next week and I'm told those puppies will be used for the annual

244
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:51,400
caps calendar that we're a part of so you know they are going to be heckin cute and you know

245
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:56,120
you want to foster a puppy that tom Wilson is going to be posing with on the calendar that

246
00:25:56,120 --> 00:26:02,600
everyone is going to buy and hang on their fridge so make sure you sign up thanks for listening oh

247
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:07,560
and someone told me the other day I'm supposed to be saying subscribe to the podcast and leave

248
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:14,280
a review so do that if you can only if it's a good review don't do it if you're going to be honest

249
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:18,600
and say that it's just 20 minutes worth of me laughing at my own stories

250
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:34,520
anyways it's a ruff life but someone's got to do it
