00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,240
Hello friends, welcome to Ruff Life!

2
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:17,560
I need to leave for transport in about 15 minutes, and you already know my episodes

3
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:23,440
have been running way longer than 15 minutes lately, so I need to jump right in.

4
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,640
Today's theme is famous vines.

5
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:34,400
If you were a part of the vine phenomenon back in, I don't even know, like 2014, 2015-ish,

6
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,600
count your lucky stars.

7
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,880
What a time to be alive that was.

8
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:44,960
It was during my sophomore year of college, and I had an hour break in between two of

9
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:49,360
my morning classes, but I lived 30 minutes from campus, so it wasn't enough time for

10
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,460
me to really do anything.

11
00:00:51,460 --> 00:00:57,200
So I would sit in my car for an hour every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning, and

12
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:05,320
I would watch an hours worth of vine videos and just bawl my eyes out laughing so hard.

13
00:01:05,320 --> 00:01:08,240
There were several times that I would walk into my next class and my friends would be

14
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,200
like, oh my gosh, have you been crying?

15
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:16,520
And I would have to admit that it was from watching 7 second videos for the last hour

16
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,760
straight.

17
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:23,400
I was thinking about how I would explain what vines are to my mother when she finds out

18
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:28,320
what her puppy's names are and wonders why the heck I named them that.

19
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:34,000
But I literally can't even put into words what these videos even are or why they were

20
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,720
so hysterical.

21
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,760
I thought about just showing them to her, but seriously, unless you were watching it

22
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:45,520
in real time, you just cannot appreciate what comedic gold they are.

23
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:50,320
I will forever miss vine, and I still don't even know why they shut it down.

24
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:55,720
But one thing I will never scroll past on TikTok is a good vine compilation video.

25
00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:00,160
I posted on the Fosters page that I wanted to do this thing, well actually I was torn

26
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,640
between this and the Secret Lives of Moron Wives for a theme.

27
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,400
But this one won in the polls, so we went with this.

28
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:14,280
And Claire helped me come up with the majority of the names, but did that stop me from rewatching

29
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:18,800
hours and hours worth of vine videos the last two days?

30
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:19,800
Absolutely not.

31
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,800
My abs hurt from laughing so hard.

32
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,800
What a time that was in American history.

33
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:31,040
Anyways, if you aren't lucky enough to have been privy to the vine videos back in the

34
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,760
day and you're wondering what your foster is named after, all you have to do is type

35
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:42,080
their name into Google with Vine V-I-N-E after it and it'll pull up the video.

36
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:46,560
But all of the vines are kid-friendly though, so I would watch it first before showing it

37
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:47,560
to your kids.

38
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:54,120
I tried not to use any of the really not kid-friendly ones, even though they are some of the funniest

39
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:55,120
ones.

40
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,880
Okay, so the stories.

41
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:05,160
Eyebrows on Fleek, or Millie as she's known down here, was actually dumped at my 87-year-old

42
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:06,640
grandmother's house.

43
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:10,800
She lives on the road next to the doghouse, so I'm wondering if they knew Millie would

44
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,960
eventually make her way to me.

45
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,880
She stayed at my grandmother's for two weeks while we looked for an owner, and then after

46
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:21,480
transport left and the doghouse opened up, we moved her in over there, but she was all

47
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,280
by herself over there and she was so lonely.

48
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,920
So Jessica would pick her up in the mornings and bring her to her house to spend the day

49
00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:35,120
with them, but all of her dogs are old, crabby, blind, or all of the above, and they didn't

50
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:39,160
play with Millie like she was desperate for, so I know she's gonna be so excited to get

51
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,800
a playmate.

52
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:50,240
Nice Ron, or Luke as he's known down here, was picked up by Animal Control in February

53
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,480
after being left in a nasty motel room in the city limits.

54
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:59,680
He was so emaciated, neglected, and had so much hair loss from mange.

55
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:05,400
One of our rescue partners worked closely with another Northern rescue as well, and

56
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:10,560
the director of that rescue came down from up north to see the shelter and look at the

57
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:11,560
animals.

58
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:16,200
The director immediately loved Luke and asked our rescue partner if she would personally

59
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,040
foster him until he was ready for transport.

60
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:21,640
That was February.

61
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:27,040
By July, the rescue still hadn't taken Luke, but they would often use him as bait to get

62
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,720
our rescue partner to pull or foster something else for them, saying things like, if you'll

63
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:37,320
foster this litter of eight puppies, we'll get them and Luke on the next transport.

64
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,920
And then they would still not take Luke and they would just take the puppies.

65
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:47,040
So come September, she was completely ghosted by the rescue altogether, and their local

66
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:52,560
partner here in the south told her that the Northern rescue told them there was zero chance

67
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,640
that they were ever gonna take Luke and she needed to just adopt him out locally or find

68
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,520
another rescue.

69
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:03,320
And as if that wasn't bad enough, which that is terrible in and of itself.

70
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,160
This part is what really gets me.

71
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:12,560
So the way most Northern rescues work is that the local Southern rescues or just the individual

72
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:17,480
rescuers in this case, they do all of the vetting that the animal needs.

73
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:22,160
And then when they go up north and they get adopted, the rescue reimburses them.

74
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:28,480
So not only did this rescue ask this rescuer to foster this dog for nine months for them,

75
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,200
and then cut all ties with them.

76
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:37,400
They also made her pay completely out of her own pocket to vet the dog.

77
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:43,880
I'm like everything, all the vaccines, neutering, monthly preventatives, dog food, everything

78
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:48,360
out of her own pocket, which that obviously is not how we operate.

79
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,480
If we commit to a dog, we take over all that care immediately.

80
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,600
I have accounts with vets in almost every surrounding town.

81
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:59,880
So all I have to say is take it to this specific vet and I'll cover everything, which is just

82
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:05,560
one of the many, many reasons that Wolf Trap supporters are so, so amazing because we could

83
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,320
not do that without you guys.

84
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:13,400
But anyways, Wolf Trap saves the day again and takes sweet, sweet Luke who has been in

85
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,560
limbo since February.

86
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,760
Bring the beat in.

87
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:24,320
I was torn between using bring the beat in or anything for you Beyonce, but I wanted

88
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,560
to use a for someone else.

89
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,840
Okay, bring the beat in.

90
00:06:28,840 --> 00:06:34,200
Up here two weeks ago in a nice neighborhood and came up to an older lady as she was taking

91
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:35,920
her groceries inside.

92
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,880
She figured that he just belonged to a neighbor since he was so adorable, but by the end of

93
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,440
the next day, he was still in her yard.

94
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,840
So she put him in her backyard to keep him safe and posted in her neighborhood Facebook

95
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:51,800
group and several other Facebook lost and found groups.

96
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:56,520
No one really said anything so she took him to the vet to get scanned for a chip, but

97
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,000
no luck there either.

98
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,200
She ended up trying to give him away for free on Facebook after a few days and we knew that

99
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:07,360
that little cute little scruffy thing belonged to Virginia and not tied up to some random

100
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:13,560
person's tree in their front yard for the rest of his life.

101
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:14,560
Free Chewbacca do.

102
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:21,320
Oh, that's one of my favorite ones.

103
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:22,320
Free Chewbacca do.

104
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:28,600
Okay, so remember when I was just telling you nice Ron's story about how ridiculous

105
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:35,040
it was that that northern director of another rescue asked one of our rescue partners to

106
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,080
personally foster a dog for them?

107
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:39,080
Unbelievable.

108
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,680
Well, let me explain.

109
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:47,760
Free Chewbacca do was found running downtown in the middle of the road in the pouring rain

110
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,520
in front of our veterinary partner, Dr. Jamie's Clinic.

111
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:55,520
So she worked all morning to get close enough to catch her and bring her inside and then

112
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,840
she posted her on Facebook looking for the owner.

113
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:03,400
And this was right down the road from where all of the sea litter Chihuahua mixes from

114
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:09,120
the August 2 Olympic athletes transport were dumped and she looks just like the Chihuahua

115
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,680
mix Mama Caroline.

116
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:18,480
So I asked that same rescue partner who was still fostering nice Ron for the other rescue

117
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:23,360
if she would also go get and foster free Chewbacca do.

118
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,880
But the difference is I actually sent the dog a few weeks later.

119
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:32,680
I didn't make her hold onto it for almost a full year.

120
00:08:32,680 --> 00:08:37,080
But I really wasn't going to push for her to go on this transport because we already

121
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,320
have a full load and she is such a perfect dog.

122
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,840
I knew that she wouldn't mind fostering here for a couple more weeks.

123
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,480
But then she told me if she stayed any longer that they were probably going to foster fail

124
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,840
and they wouldn't be able to give her up because she is literally a perfect dog.

125
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,600
So we had to get her out of their ASAP.

126
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,560
The why litter of two are from a local shelter.

127
00:08:57,560 --> 00:09:02,320
They were originally a litter of three, but one of them got adopted a few weeks ago.

128
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,440
They had wandered into someone's yard earlier this month and they were teeny tiny and pitiful

129
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,520
so they took them to the shelter.

130
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:13,200
This shelter is slowly but surely working on its long intake wait list.

131
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:18,040
So this now frees up a kennel for them to bring in a whole other litter of puppies.

132
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,240
So they are very thankful for our help.

133
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,560
The D litter of three were owner surrenders.

134
00:09:23,560 --> 00:09:25,600
They're not technically a litter of three.

135
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:32,680
If you look at them, I guarantee you can figure out which one is not part of the litter.

136
00:09:32,680 --> 00:09:38,000
You know how we have litter names down here just to keep track of who we're talking about.

137
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:44,720
Well these guys are the tetanus house puppies because the whole yard looked like a literal

138
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,520
garbage dump.

139
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,400
We had gotten a message about two puppies left out of a litter of six.

140
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,720
Two had been given away and two had died.

141
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,880
So Jessica went over there just to parvo test the remaining two before we decided what we

142
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,600
were going to do.

143
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,320
When she pulled up, she thought she was at the wrong house because none of the buildings

144
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:08,880
could possibly be habitable and then she saw a tiny puppy bouncing around on one of the

145
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,040
porches.

146
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:15,520
So she made it to the door without falling through the porch and she knocked and somebody

147
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:20,360
yelled to come in and like an idiot, she did.

148
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:25,080
She cracked the door and she walked in and there were men passed out all over the place

149
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,720
and a huge pit bull lying on the couch.

150
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:32,640
So she closed the door real quick, did what she needed to do, parvo tested and made plans

151
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:38,080
to come back when we had a plan for the puppies in a place to go and hopefully everyone there

152
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:39,680
would be sober.

153
00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:45,520
So we ended up getting the extra older puppy out of the pool because she had shown up a

154
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,280
few weeks earlier and she was just too sweet to leave behind.

155
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,920
They really didn't want her but they were just letting her stay there anyways.

156
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:57,920
The mom-a-dog belongs to these fine upstanding people and we gave them a voucher to have

157
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:58,920
her spayed.

158
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:06,520
Oh and it wasn't parvo, I think it was just malnutrition or tetanus honestly.

159
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,240
The litter of five are from our local kill shelter.

160
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:10,960
They were owner surrenders.

161
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:15,360
The owner was being committed to a mental hospital and his mom found the puppies and

162
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,600
two cats locked in the laundry room.

163
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,560
The story goes that the guy was trying to choke one of the puppies.

164
00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:28,600
He is ex-military and he had it in a chokehold because he thought it was attacking a child.

165
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,560
It was not, there were no children anywhere.

166
00:11:32,560 --> 00:11:37,440
And when they found the puppies, one of them had the outside part of the dryer vent stuck

167
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:38,840
around its neck.

168
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:43,840
I assume it has been trying to get out through that opening and that's how it got stuck around

169
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,120
its neck.

170
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:52,600
The W litter of 11 were owner surrenders from our town's semi-retired veterinarian.

171
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:58,280
The mom-a-dog showed up at his vet's office and this vet is super old but he was feeding

172
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:05,240
the dog every day and then our vet had a wreck recently and a friend of his, Roger, took

173
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,760
over taking care of the puppies and he called us about them.

174
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,440
11 puppies total.

175
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,880
So Jessica went over there to see them one day and there was another lady there that

176
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,160
claimed she was going to take three of the puppies with her.

177
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:24,200
They fought back and forth for a while and she finally just left with one puppy.

178
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:29,320
Neither Jess nor Roger owned the dog or the property and their hands were kind of tied.

179
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:34,480
So as sick as it made Jessica, she felt like the puppy just had to take one for the team

180
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,320
to get her out of there.

181
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:42,440
Jessica told me I had to say that but I 100% disagree.

182
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:47,020
If I would have been there, if I didn't have this dumb baby, I would have been there.

183
00:12:47,020 --> 00:12:51,880
We would have gotten all 11 that day or I would have left in handcuffs but whatever,

184
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,680
I guess her way worked too in the end.

185
00:12:54,680 --> 00:12:56,200
The mom-a-dog was also flipping out.

186
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,680
I thought it was because she was feral but I think it was just this crazy woman that

187
00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:00,680
was there.

188
00:13:00,680 --> 00:13:02,760
Not Jessica, the other crazy woman.

189
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:09,120
Anyways, the next day Roger went there and there were only nine puppies and while he

190
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:13,760
was there, a guy showed up and said he was there for a puppy and that woman from the

191
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,480
day before had sent him.

192
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:19,200
So Roger told him he could not have one and the guy got mad, argued, and finally just

193
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,480
stomped off cussing and said he'd be back later.

194
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:28,240
When Roger came back the next day, there were eight and that made him so mad and he tracked

195
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,320
that lady down and he told her none of them had any right to be up there and if anybody

196
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:37,160
else showed up, he would file trespassing charges and theft and he wanted all of the

197
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:41,160
puppies that she took back or he was filing charges against her too.

198
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,600
And the next morning, all 11 puppies were there.

199
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:50,080
We did not send the mom with these guys because we're not totally sure if she's adoptable

200
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:57,000
yet but either way, she'll be spayed and sent to our foster farm to live as a barn dog or

201
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:02,800
she'll be on a later transport if she's a sweet girl and can be adoptable.

202
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:08,080
With a tea litter of nine, our owner surrenders the day after the puppies were born, literally

203
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,800
the day after.

204
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:14,600
The owner posted pictures of them on Facebook saying that they would need new homes quote

205
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:19,440
pretty soon and that is always a recipe for disaster and there was no chance that that

206
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:20,880
mama would get spayed.

207
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:25,360
So our rescue partner hope immediately contacted the owner and told her that we could supply

208
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,280
her with all the puppy food for the mama that she needed and we could give her a spay

209
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:34,320
voucher to get the mama spayed as long as she surrendered every single puppy.

210
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,000
So she said deal and then immediately started asking for puppy food.

211
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,880
So we gave her about six huge bags of puppy food during those six weeks.

212
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,760
So thank you so much to all of you awesome fosters for sending food to us.

213
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,440
That's the only way we're able to do this.

214
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:54,400
When hope went to pick them up, it was in a rundown trailer park, really, really sad

215
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:55,680
living conditions.

216
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,520
The puppy smelled so bad that she had to ride all the way home with her windows down and

217
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,160
give them a bath as soon as she got home.

218
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:06,560
But we're just so thankful that they're out of that hellhole.

219
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:14,160
I want to be famous and her eight eye litter puppies were surrendered by the owner at a

220
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:15,400
local shelter.

221
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:19,840
The owner brought the mama and her litter of eight three day old puppies to the shelter

222
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,960
and said that she had lost her job, lost her house and was no longer able to take care

223
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,920
of Cha Cha and her puppies.

224
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:31,440
The shelter asked if Wolf Trap would be interested and we said duh.

225
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:38,920
So they moved her to a foster home to keep them out of the Jeremy shelter before transport.

226
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,480
And now for the cats.

227
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:45,920
Judas note was a litter of four that belong to a feral mama.

228
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,680
We are still trying to trap her and have her spade.

229
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:53,480
The lady had given away the other three by the time Jessica got this one.

230
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:59,760
Food work ahead showed up as a stray not much to her except Jess said that she is the sweetest

231
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:05,640
and gives good kneading back massages while she sleeps.

232
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,560
She also needs her in her armpit once in a while.

233
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,080
But Jess is trying to overlook that.

234
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:16,400
She also really helped Judas know come out of his shell when Jess was fostering both

235
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:17,400
of them.

236
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,080
So she's a really good girl.

237
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:24,160
When Reed her bible was picked up by animal control in a nearby town.

238
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:28,480
She's another one that wasn't on my priority list because I knew her foster was fine keeping

239
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,640
her until next transport until she told me she was on the verge of foster failing.

240
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,800
So I got her out of their ASAP.

241
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,280
The sea litter of three were found as strays.

242
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:44,120
Our rescue partner's daughter was on her way home from work and she saw a little kitten

243
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:45,560
near the road.

244
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,520
She pulled over and ended up getting two more out of the ditch also.

245
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:53,600
They would have been roadkill in no time had she not picked them up.

246
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,280
She agreed to keep them safe and foster them until transport.

247
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:02,280
The H litter of five are owner surrenders kind of a lady and her husband bought some

248
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:07,280
land with a shop and it came with four adult stray cats.

249
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:08,540
Of course it did.

250
00:17:08,540 --> 00:17:13,360
One of the cats had kittens immediately and they did not want to keep the kittens.

251
00:17:13,360 --> 00:17:16,680
So she worked with them for a few weeks to get them friendly and then we sent them to

252
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,640
a foster when they were old enough.

253
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:23,040
The owners were very thankful that they did not have to re-home five kittens and they

254
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:27,240
have already taken all of their inherited cats to the vet to get them vaccinated and

255
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:28,240
spayed and neutered.

256
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:32,000
They're going to keep the adults and let them keep living at the shed that they're used

257
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,500
to.

258
00:17:33,500 --> 00:17:35,960
The S litter of five are owner surrenders.

259
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:40,040
The owner reached out to one of our fosters to see if we would take them because she didn't

260
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,560
want to give them away on Facebook to just anybody.

261
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:44,960
And that is it for this week.

262
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:50,920
There are 59 critters on board, five of which are adult dogs, which we love.

263
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:55,960
We only have one more transport this year and then that's it until January.

264
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,200
So make sure you sign up to foster.

265
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:03,000
That foster period starts November 23rd so everyone fostering this round will be eligible

266
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,680
to foster again for that one if your animal gets adopted.

267
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:11,680
And don't forget to rate, review, and subscribe to the podcast because that's apparently

268
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,960
what you are supposed to do.

269
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,960
It's a rough life, but someone's got to do it.

270
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:17,960
And then one minute late.

271
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:18,960
Oh, all right.

272
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:19,960
Bye guys.

273
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:48,960
I'll see you next time.
