WEBVTT 00:00:11.470 --> 00:00:16.649 Welcome to Rough Life. Lordy, lordy, what a transport 00:00:16.649 --> 00:00:21.170 this was. If you are new here, hi, welcome. I'm 00:00:21.170 --> 00:00:25.410 Katie Keaton. My actual job is the transport 00:00:25.410 --> 00:00:29.129 coordinator. I find all of the animals and then 00:00:29.129 --> 00:00:35.340 send them all to you in Virginia. I have been 00:00:35.340 --> 00:00:38.500 filling in this week as foster coordinator because 00:00:38.500 --> 00:00:42.140 our interim foster coordinator is leaving us. 00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:47.000 Tatiana has also been coaching the men's rowing 00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:50.719 team, which is like above the collegiate level. 00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:54.719 It's huge. And because she is so fantastic at 00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:57.359 that and her team is doing such a great job, 00:00:57.820 --> 00:00:59.960 I think they're going to nationals or something. 00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:02.380 She unfortunately isn't going to be able to work 00:01:02.380 --> 00:01:05.930 for us anymore, which is Super, super exciting 00:01:05.930 --> 00:01:10.650 for her, but a super bummer for us. But anyways, 00:01:11.230 --> 00:01:14.349 if it seems like things were super chaotic and 00:01:14.349 --> 00:01:16.230 like the person you were talking to had no idea 00:01:16.230 --> 00:01:20.849 what was going on, that's very accurate. Most 00:01:20.849 --> 00:01:23.950 of the team, the Wolf Trap team was out all day 00:01:23.950 --> 00:01:28.829 on Friday. So Dr. Burton texted me the login 00:01:28.829 --> 00:01:31.670 user names and passwords at like 7 a .m. and 00:01:31.670 --> 00:01:34.680 then said, I'll check in when I can tonight around 00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:39.459 9pm. Good luck. So it was a lot of fun though. 00:01:39.459 --> 00:01:41.359 I had a lot of fun getting to talk with so many 00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:44.340 of you. It was great chatting with you. Also, 00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:48.659 who in the world plans an intake for Easter Sunday 00:01:48.659 --> 00:01:52.640 morning? What was Dr. Burton thinking? I don't 00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:54.540 know. But something is going on. I'm getting, 00:01:54.620 --> 00:01:56.719 I'm actually getting really upset. So, so many 00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:59.019 of you are new fosters. You might not have joined 00:01:59.019 --> 00:02:03.420 our fosters. private page on Facebook. If you 00:02:03.420 --> 00:02:05.540 haven't, make sure you do that. That's where 00:02:05.540 --> 00:02:08.639 I post all the time. I post all the time in there. 00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:12.300 I'm always talking to our wonderful fosters in 00:02:12.300 --> 00:02:15.199 there. But something's going on with the Facebook 00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:17.939 algorithm. I've been noticing it for several 00:02:17.939 --> 00:02:20.400 weeks and Dr. Burton just started noticing it 00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:23.740 last week too with her posts. it's almost like 00:02:23.740 --> 00:02:27.120 we're being shadow banned. It's so bizarre. So 00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:30.240 because we're admins in this private fosters 00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:33.439 page group we can see how many people see each 00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:39.139 post. My post typically got between like 1 ,502 00:02:39.139 --> 00:02:42.419 ,000 views every single time. Every post I made. 00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:48.599 Like, like a bad post was 1 ,500 views. But now 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:54.939 If I make a post, they get less than 100 views. 00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:59.439 Less than a hundred people see my post. We have 00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:02.759 like over 3 ,000 people in this group. Less than 00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:05.900 a hundred of them see my post. Even that one 00:03:05.900 --> 00:03:08.280 time when I did the at everyone, which I hate 00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:11.979 doing. I hate the at everyone. I hate when I 00:03:11.979 --> 00:03:15.439 get at everyone. And so I hate doing it to people 00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:17.180 too. I've only done it one time. It was terrible. 00:03:17.659 --> 00:03:20.560 But even when I did it, only a hundred and twenty 00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:26.590 three people saw that post. That's insane. And 00:03:26.590 --> 00:03:29.590 it's literally just mine and Dr. Burton's post 00:03:29.590 --> 00:03:32.789 because someone else in the group made a post, 00:03:32.990 --> 00:03:35.289 no pictures, no words, nothing. They just said 00:03:35.289 --> 00:03:40.250 a few words in their post and 1 ,100 people saw 00:03:40.250 --> 00:03:43.250 that post. It is so weird and it's so annoying 00:03:43.250 --> 00:03:45.729 because I know that we have fosters out there 00:03:45.729 --> 00:03:48.270 that can help and are wanting to help but they're 00:03:48.270 --> 00:03:49.949 not seeing my posts and they don't know that 00:03:49.949 --> 00:03:54.439 we need them. Also, just my transport. post with 00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:57.060 like just the pictures where I post like here's 00:03:57.060 --> 00:03:59.319 everybody coming up today not even asking for 00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:01.979 fosters just showing who's coming my last one 00:04:01.979 --> 00:04:08.800 got 66 views so if anyone anywhere has any ideas 00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:11.759 on how to fix this please tell me I haven't had 00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:14.740 any of my content deleted or banned by Facebook 00:04:14.740 --> 00:04:17.600 so like my account shouldn't be in trouble or 00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:20.459 anything it's just like They don't put it on 00:04:20.459 --> 00:04:22.920 anyone's timelines anymore. I don't know. But 00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:25.259 I know someone out there listening to this works 00:04:25.259 --> 00:04:31.259 for meta. So please help me. But okay, so this 00:04:31.259 --> 00:04:35.560 podcast really is not just for me to rant. It's 00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:37.740 actually for me to tell you the background stories 00:04:37.740 --> 00:04:41.019 for all of the animals that I have pulled. So 00:04:41.019 --> 00:04:43.240 the theme for this transport, because we have 00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:45.060 so many new people here, I'm gonna do the quick 00:04:45.060 --> 00:04:47.620 spiel real quick. The theme for the transport 00:04:47.620 --> 00:04:51.800 is a very broad theme and then every animal on 00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:55.980 the van is named under that theme. So the theme 00:04:55.980 --> 00:04:59.259 right now is love on the spectrum. All of the 00:04:59.259 --> 00:05:03.240 animals on this van will have names from love 00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:06.660 on the spectrum. This way we can say hey one 00:05:06.660 --> 00:05:08.899 of the animals was really sick on the love on 00:05:08.899 --> 00:05:12.300 the spectrum van. Anyone who has an animal with 00:05:12.300 --> 00:05:15.259 a name from love on the spectrum like you need 00:05:15.259 --> 00:05:17.259 to watch your animal make sure they don't come 00:05:17.259 --> 00:05:21.300 down with anything, but each litter is named 00:05:21.300 --> 00:05:24.600 with the same letter. So like the M litter of 00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:27.079 five, they are all from the same litter, they 00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:29.800 all have the same story. We do this so that we 00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:31.660 can say like, hey everyone on the Love on the 00:05:31.660 --> 00:05:35.399 Spectrum band was exposed to it, but the M puppies 00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:38.959 are like the ones breaking with it, so you all 00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:40.720 need to come into the hospital and get treated 00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:45.339 immediately. So. That said, I don't say everyone's 00:05:45.339 --> 00:05:47.939 names. If you have a single puppy that doesn't 00:05:47.939 --> 00:05:51.279 have any litter mates, I do say that name, but 00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:53.560 for everyone that is part of a litter, I will 00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:57.259 not say every individual name. So like, C litter 00:05:57.259 --> 00:06:00.259 of nine, not saying your puppy's names, you just 00:06:00.259 --> 00:06:03.519 gotta listen for the C litter of nine. Okay, 00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:06.259 anyways. The theme is love on the spectrum. If 00:06:06.259 --> 00:06:09.160 you have not watched that show, do yourself a 00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:11.660 favor and find the time to watch it. It is... 00:06:11.579 --> 00:06:15.180 the funniest, most heartwarming feel -good show 00:06:15.180 --> 00:06:17.379 there is right now. I don't want to give any 00:06:17.379 --> 00:06:19.300 spoilers to anyone who hasn't watched it yet 00:06:19.300 --> 00:06:21.339 and is thinking about doing it. But for those 00:06:21.339 --> 00:06:25.220 of you who have, this most recent season when 00:06:25.220 --> 00:06:28.199 one of the girls writes a song for the guy, you 00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:29.480 know, you know the part that I'm talking about, 00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:32.139 it's going viral right now. So even if you don't 00:06:32.139 --> 00:06:35.660 watch the show, I'm sure that you've heard the 00:06:35.660 --> 00:06:38.439 Boyfriend Forever song on social media. Anyways, 00:06:38.860 --> 00:06:41.959 Justin, my husband. Justin and I are watching 00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:43.980 it the other night. We've been fans of the show 00:06:43.980 --> 00:06:48.139 since day one. We're watching it. And Justin 00:06:48.139 --> 00:06:52.500 goes, aw, both those moms are crying. He looks 00:06:52.500 --> 00:06:57.800 over at me and I am a puddle. Literally choking 00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:01.920 back sobs. My t -shirt is wet with tears. I mean, 00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:05.959 just boo hoo, ugly crying like it was my daughter 00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:09.920 singing the song. Ugh. It is such a good show. 00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:13.779 It's such a good song. I wish it was a hundred 00:07:13.779 --> 00:07:16.279 seasons long. I follow all of them on TikTok. 00:07:16.540 --> 00:07:20.779 I just, I love them all. Okay, Georgie Harris, 00:07:20.899 --> 00:07:24.220 she is from our Alabama shelter friends. She 00:07:24.220 --> 00:07:26.819 was found as a stray wandering the streets alone 00:07:26.819 --> 00:07:29.680 when she was just barely six weeks old. The shelter 00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:31.980 manager took her home and her six -year -old 00:07:31.980 --> 00:07:34.759 daughter fell madly in love with her. She begged 00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:37.939 and begged to keep this puppy, but her mom knows, 00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:41.100 especially as shelter manager, that there's going 00:07:41.100 --> 00:07:43.319 to be a ton of more animals that need to come 00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:45.079 in and out of their home and that they can't 00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:48.329 keep them all. So her daughter said that as long 00:07:48.329 --> 00:07:50.250 as she went to Wolf Trap and not a different 00:07:50.250 --> 00:07:53.129 rescue that she would let go and let. let us 00:07:53.129 --> 00:07:56.129 take her. But I am actually super excited about 00:07:56.129 --> 00:07:59.050 who is taking Georgie. If you listened to my 00:07:59.050 --> 00:08:01.449 episode last week I talked about Mr. Jack who 00:08:01.449 --> 00:08:05.649 fought so hard to get to foster young love. And 00:08:05.649 --> 00:08:08.689 by fought so hard I mean he had to fill out a 00:08:08.689 --> 00:08:11.250 few forms which all but killed him to do. He 00:08:11.250 --> 00:08:14.769 could not handle how many forms Wolf Trap makes 00:08:14.769 --> 00:08:17.610 you fill out. Anyways, he actually officially 00:08:17.610 --> 00:08:20.699 adopted young love last week. on his birthday. 00:08:20.939 --> 00:08:23.680 Is that not meant to be or what? They are a match 00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:26.100 made in heaven and I am so happy for all of them. 00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:30.720 But Mr. Jack also conned his daughter into fostering 00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:33.759 with us too. She signed up as a bespoke for this 00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:36.360 sweet little puppy and I am so pumped to have 00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:38.980 more of Mr. Jack's family fostering with us. 00:08:39.820 --> 00:08:42.340 Stay tuned for next transport when I try to convince 00:08:42.340 --> 00:08:48.440 Mr. Jack's wife to foster too. Nikki Smith, Finnegan, 00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:52.879 and the R puppy are all from Dr. Jamie. Dr. Jamie 00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:55.440 was one of Dr. Burton's veterinary students when 00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:58.179 she was teaching here at Mississippi State several 00:08:58.179 --> 00:09:00.639 years ago. I say several years ago, but I mean, 00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:02.399 it was probably like 15 years. It's been a long 00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:06.259 time. They ended up becoming best friends and 00:09:06.259 --> 00:09:08.659 are still really good friends to this day. Dr. 00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:11.360 Jamie helps us out so much and in return, we 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:13.840 take all the animals that get dumped on her at 00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:18.840 her clinic. Speaking of Dr. Jamie, I'm going 00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.919 to tell y 'all a little embarrassing, not suitable 00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:25.279 for work story that happened to me last weekend. 00:09:25.399 --> 00:09:28.000 So if you have any little ears listening to this, 00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:30.100 you may want to fast forward just a minute or 00:09:30.100 --> 00:09:33.639 two. I can't believe I'm about to tell you all 00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:37.600 this. We had a dog that had just been neutered. 00:09:37.740 --> 00:09:40.379 He's not on this transport and I'm not gonna 00:09:40.379 --> 00:09:42.600 tell you guys who he is because I don't want 00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:45.139 that to deter anyone from fostering him in the 00:09:45.139 --> 00:09:48.360 future. But he had just been neutered a few days 00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:53.179 prior and Jessica, who is my slave slash volunteer 00:09:53.179 --> 00:09:56.080 employee, she had just gotten to the doghouse 00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:59.639 to feed and water him that morning and his pecker 00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:03.629 was... Huge. I mean, I have never seen a pecker 00:10:03.629 --> 00:10:06.509 this swollen in my entire life I just knew something 00:10:06.509 --> 00:10:08.309 horrible had happened to him while he was there 00:10:08.309 --> 00:10:11.570 by himself So because dr. Burton was away at 00:10:11.570 --> 00:10:13.629 a wedding. I didn't want to bother her with it 00:10:13.629 --> 00:10:16.409 So I sent a video of it to dr. Jamie and I'm 00:10:16.409 --> 00:10:19.820 like oh my gosh look at this terrible thing that 00:10:19.820 --> 00:10:23.039 has happened do you think it can wait until our 00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:25.519 vet's open on monday morning or like should we 00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:29.080 get him to the emergency vet right now like this 00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:33.899 is this a for real emergency and sweet precious 00:10:33.899 --> 00:10:37.620 wonderful innocent dr jamey wrote me back and 00:10:37.620 --> 00:10:41.730 said The only swollen part that she saw was his 00:10:41.730 --> 00:10:43.990 gland. It has like a really long scientific medical 00:10:43.990 --> 00:10:46.549 name that she sent me, but I'm not going to embarrass 00:10:46.549 --> 00:10:49.669 myself further by trying to pronounce it. She 00:10:49.669 --> 00:10:53.210 said, um, that's the gland that gets swollen 00:10:53.210 --> 00:11:01.809 when they are, um, stimulated. So I texted my 00:11:01.809 --> 00:11:04.809 vet to see if we needed to rush a dog to an emergency 00:11:04.809 --> 00:11:08.179 room on a Saturday morning. because he had a 00:11:08.179 --> 00:11:12.559 boner. So that was fun. That was a fun time. 00:11:12.740 --> 00:11:15.320 I told her that I would tell Jessica to dress 00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:17.899 less prerocatively the next time she came over. 00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:20.960 Who knew that that could actually happen to dogs 00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:25.759 though? Not me. But anyways, so back to her pups. 00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:30.100 Nikki Smith was found by the mail lady on their 00:11:30.100 --> 00:11:32.500 route. She called the office and asked if she 00:11:32.500 --> 00:11:34.179 could bring it in and they told her they don't 00:11:34.179 --> 00:11:36.809 have any room for it because they're a veterinary 00:11:36.809 --> 00:11:39.389 office not a shelter, and so they gave her the 00:11:39.389 --> 00:11:42.129 number of a rescuer in their town and then that 00:11:42.129 --> 00:11:45.049 rescuer immediately texted me to see if I would 00:11:45.049 --> 00:11:47.649 take her. And apparently she was found wandering 00:11:47.649 --> 00:11:49.549 in the road where there aren't a lot of homes 00:11:49.549 --> 00:11:52.450 nearby so the mail carrier just picked her up 00:11:52.450 --> 00:11:54.750 and she rode along with her in the mail truck 00:11:54.750 --> 00:11:58.110 for the rest of the day. Finnegan was brought 00:11:58.110 --> 00:12:00.429 in with another grown dog when they were wandering 00:12:00.429 --> 00:12:03.860 along the highway. The other dog had her nails 00:12:03.860 --> 00:12:06.419 painted pink, so they knew she belonged to someone, 00:12:06.519 --> 00:12:08.720 and eventually they did find that owner, but 00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:10.620 the owner was like, I have no idea who this puppy 00:12:10.620 --> 00:12:13.700 is. So Dr. Jamie had posted them on Facebook 00:12:13.700 --> 00:12:16.200 looking for their owners, and she wrote, does 00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:19.059 anyone know who these dogs belong to? I commented 00:12:19.059 --> 00:12:22.279 and I said, oh yeah, that puppy belongs to me. 00:12:22.820 --> 00:12:25.059 You can just hold them until April 19th. Thanks. 00:12:25.419 --> 00:12:28.549 And we all laughed. But then when no owner came 00:12:28.549 --> 00:12:31.009 forward, Dr. Jamie texted me and was like, so 00:12:31.009 --> 00:12:33.870 he really does belong to you now and I will keep 00:12:33.870 --> 00:12:35.850 him until transport if you'll still get him on, 00:12:36.070 --> 00:12:38.450 which of course we were happy to do. He's so 00:12:38.450 --> 00:12:44.580 cute. So for the R puppy, it's actually unclear 00:12:44.580 --> 00:12:47.019 if this one is male or female. Dr. Jamie told 00:12:47.019 --> 00:12:50.820 me both and then she sent me his medical records 00:12:50.820 --> 00:12:54.500 where like you can circle male or female. The 00:12:54.500 --> 00:12:57.320 office staff circled both and then just put a 00:12:57.320 --> 00:13:02.220 big question mark. So if you have Ronan, it means 00:13:02.220 --> 00:13:05.590 it was a boy. And if you have Rachel, It means 00:13:05.590 --> 00:13:08.409 it was a girl, but it is just one puppy and it 00:13:08.409 --> 00:13:11.889 was an owner surrender. It was brought into one 00:13:11.889 --> 00:13:16.090 of Dr. Jamie's low cost vaccine clinics by one 00:13:16.090 --> 00:13:18.889 of her clients. And the owner said that he couldn't 00:13:18.889 --> 00:13:20.730 keep it and wasn't able to find a rescue to take 00:13:20.730 --> 00:13:23.330 it either. He had found it and in a ditch on 00:13:23.330 --> 00:13:26.570 the side of the road. So Dr. Jamie told him that 00:13:26.570 --> 00:13:29.120 she would get him in with us. he brought him 00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:31.759 to transport today or her he he brought the dog 00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:35.059 to transport today and he was the sweetest old 00:13:35.059 --> 00:13:37.580 man ever he was like i just can't thank y 'all 00:13:37.580 --> 00:13:39.559 enough for this i'm so glad that you're gonna 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:42.879 find her the best home so i'm really glad that 00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:47.779 we were able to help him parry kim is an owner 00:13:47.779 --> 00:13:51.559 surrender an older lady had two old dogs and 00:13:51.559 --> 00:13:54.299 one of them died so she wanted to get a friend 00:13:54.299 --> 00:13:57.600 for the one that she had left So she got it a 00:13:57.600 --> 00:14:04.600 puppy and shockingly the half blind old yappy 00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:09.600 dog was not happy about its new very energetic 00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:13.940 little friend and the landlady, no the lady's 00:14:13.940 --> 00:14:16.919 landlord was also not happy about this puppy 00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:20.299 because she thinks it's a pit mix. I do not think 00:14:20.299 --> 00:14:23.740 it has an ounce of pit in it but she thought 00:14:23.740 --> 00:14:25.460 it was a bit mix. I think it's actually a boxer. 00:14:26.340 --> 00:14:29.139 She said that she had been attacked by a pit 00:14:29.139 --> 00:14:31.779 bull and she doesn't allow any on her properties 00:14:31.779 --> 00:14:35.879 now. We told her that that little yabby dog was 00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:38.279 way more likely to bite somebody than this sweet 00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:40.740 little puppy, but whatever. The owner is very 00:14:40.740 --> 00:14:42.940 thankful that we took her puppy and the landlady 00:14:42.940 --> 00:14:51.059 is even happier. Maddie, now Kalen Parlow. This 00:14:51.059 --> 00:14:55.460 girl's story got me and I don't get got. a lot 00:14:55.460 --> 00:14:59.639 these days, but man, she is an owner surrender. 00:14:59.860 --> 00:15:02.379 She's a two year old dog and they have had her 00:15:02.379 --> 00:15:06.059 since she was four weeks old. She belonged to 00:15:06.059 --> 00:15:09.220 a 72 year old woman who was evicted from her 00:15:09.220 --> 00:15:11.840 home. Apparently they had been asked to leave 00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:15.679 for quite a while and they didn't. So the landlord 00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:18.019 showed up one day with the police and had them 00:15:18.019 --> 00:15:21.000 thrown out and then changed the lock behind them. 00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:23.960 So the other family members that lived with the 00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:26.200 owner they left and they went to another family 00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:28.259 member's house where they were all going to be 00:15:28.259 --> 00:15:31.960 staying until they got a new home, but that family 00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:35.179 member rented her home also and her landlord 00:15:35.179 --> 00:15:39.299 didn't allow dogs. So the 72 year old woman didn't 00:15:39.299 --> 00:15:42.279 have anywhere to take Maddie. She sat on the 00:15:42.279 --> 00:15:45.440 porch of her evicted house with Maddie and cried. 00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:49.379 for two hours while her teenage grandson, who 00:15:49.379 --> 00:15:52.659 also lived with her, was frantically messaging 00:15:52.659 --> 00:15:55.440 every shelter and rescue in the area to take 00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:58.820 the dog. No one was open, no one even offered 00:15:58.820 --> 00:16:02.200 to put the dog on a waiting list, nothing. I 00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:04.740 just happened to be in town when I saw this message 00:16:04.740 --> 00:16:06.779 and I told him that if he would bring her to 00:16:06.779 --> 00:16:08.559 the dog house that I would take her home with 00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:11.559 me that afternoon. So they loaded her up. I don't 00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:13.039 even know what town they were in. I don't even 00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:15.840 know if they were in Boomful. But they brought 00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:18.120 her to the dog house and Jessica met them there. 00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:21.500 She said the old lady was sobbing so hard she 00:16:21.500 --> 00:16:24.500 couldn't even speak. I picked Maddie up that 00:16:24.500 --> 00:16:26.059 night and I brought her back to Alabama with 00:16:26.059 --> 00:16:30.059 me and I could just tell this dog was so well 00:16:30.059 --> 00:16:33.720 loved and so well taken care of. Y 'all know 00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:37.460 that I do not like southern owners. I think everyone 00:16:37.460 --> 00:16:41.659 down here, literally everyone should have their 00:16:41.659 --> 00:16:45.419 dog taken away and sent up north because no one 00:16:45.419 --> 00:16:47.919 loves them like y 'all do. We have people all 00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:50.399 the time talking about my dog is my whole world. 00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:54.080 and they leave it tied up to a tree day in and 00:16:54.080 --> 00:16:57.100 day out you don't have a dog you have a lawn 00:16:57.100 --> 00:17:00.539 ornament what are you talking about so i have 00:17:00.539 --> 00:17:05.019 very little sympathy for owners down here but 00:17:05.019 --> 00:17:06.819 man i don't know if it's because i had a baby 00:17:06.819 --> 00:17:11.319 recently or what but i've gotten so soft lately 00:17:11.889 --> 00:17:14.069 I ended up reaching out to the owner that night 00:17:14.069 --> 00:17:16.190 mainly just to send her pictures and let her 00:17:16.190 --> 00:17:18.650 know that Maddie was with me in my home, settled 00:17:18.650 --> 00:17:21.490 in and totally fine, but I was also trying to 00:17:21.490 --> 00:17:24.089 get a gauge on like what her plan was for the 00:17:24.089 --> 00:17:26.529 future, which is really hard to do. Like it's 00:17:26.529 --> 00:17:29.769 hard to be like, how long do you plan to be homeless? 00:17:29.789 --> 00:17:34.299 Like how do you ask that? So... She had fully 00:17:34.299 --> 00:17:36.859 surrendered Maddie to us, so she was mine to 00:17:36.859 --> 00:17:40.500 send to Virginia, but it was killing me. If she 00:17:40.500 --> 00:17:42.200 thought that it was just going to be a few weeks 00:17:42.200 --> 00:17:45.440 or a couple months, I was absolutely going to 00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:47.559 hold her and foster care down here and give her 00:17:47.559 --> 00:17:49.579 back to them once they got back up on their feet. 00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:53.019 But after talking to the owner, she said she 00:17:53.019 --> 00:17:56.779 doesn't have a car or a job or a house, and she 00:17:56.779 --> 00:17:59.339 has no prospects of getting any of those things. 00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:03.359 I cannot even imagine how. terrifying that is 00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:07.019 how heartbreaking it is and to be I mean not 00:18:07.019 --> 00:18:10.779 that that's old but to be that old you know and 00:18:10.779 --> 00:18:14.599 homeless oh my goodness so awful so she said 00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:16.819 she loved Maddie so much but she knew she wasn't 00:18:16.819 --> 00:18:19.019 able to care for her like like Maddie needed 00:18:19.019 --> 00:18:23.140 and I told her listen Maddie's my girl now. Okay, 00:18:23.339 --> 00:18:25.680 no matter what I'm gonna make sure that she has 00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:29.140 the best life and the best home and that we will 00:18:29.140 --> 00:18:33.319 both Get updates on her for the rest of her life 00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:36.759 so that we'll both know how loved she is She 00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:40.869 cried I cried. It was awful But she is so thankful 00:18:40.869 --> 00:18:42.869 and so appreciative for everything that we did 00:18:42.869 --> 00:18:45.930 for her and Maddie. And then I gave her the contact 00:18:45.930 --> 00:18:48.230 info for several places in the town that she's 00:18:48.230 --> 00:18:50.809 moved to that will be able to help her hopefully 00:18:50.809 --> 00:18:53.029 get back up on her feet. And Maddie, Maddie was 00:18:53.029 --> 00:18:55.589 the best dog. We loved having her for two weeks. 00:18:55.690 --> 00:18:58.109 Honestly, I think she loved my baby more than 00:18:58.109 --> 00:19:03.210 me, but she was so sweet and so snuggly. Whoever 00:19:03.210 --> 00:19:07.880 adopts her will have hit the jackpot. The L letter 00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:12.220 of three were found as strays. A friend of Jessica's 00:19:12.220 --> 00:19:15.019 and her elderly mother were driving down a deserted 00:19:15.019 --> 00:19:17.759 county road and they saw these three puppies 00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:21.400 lying on a couch on the side of the road. That's 00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:25.200 something you don't see every day. Her mother 00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:27.359 told her that she had too many dogs already and 00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:29.940 she did not need any more. So she took her mom 00:19:29.940 --> 00:19:32.029 home. and then she couldn't stop thinking about 00:19:32.029 --> 00:19:34.750 the puppies so she drove back and they were still 00:19:34.750 --> 00:19:37.029 out there sitting on the couch. So she loaded 00:19:37.029 --> 00:19:38.869 them up and she took them to her mother's house 00:19:38.869 --> 00:19:42.849 and put them in her mother's backyard. About 00:19:42.849 --> 00:19:45.789 a week later though one of them started acting 00:19:45.789 --> 00:19:48.789 a little sluggish and not eating so she took 00:19:48.789 --> 00:19:52.529 it to the vet. and it was parvo another one got 00:19:52.529 --> 00:19:54.529 sick a couple days later and then the third got 00:19:54.529 --> 00:19:56.670 sluggish but not completely sick because she 00:19:56.670 --> 00:19:58.990 had already started treating it by then she gave 00:19:58.990 --> 00:20:01.450 them all fluids she did all the medication she 00:20:01.450 --> 00:20:04.410 took such excellent care of them all the while 00:20:04.410 --> 00:20:06.529 thanking us for all of our help even though we 00:20:06.529 --> 00:20:08.869 had not done a single thing for her she even 00:20:08.869 --> 00:20:10.750 paid for the entire vet bill i don't know why 00:20:10.750 --> 00:20:13.750 she was thanking us but they have been doing 00:20:13.750 --> 00:20:15.990 great these last few weeks just waiting for a 00:20:15.990 --> 00:20:19.089 spot to open up on transport and Doing all the 00:20:19.089 --> 00:20:21.970 things that three big puppies do in a backyard 00:20:21.970 --> 00:20:26.490 while unattended The elderly mother is very ready 00:20:26.490 --> 00:20:29.309 for them to go But the daughter is so thankful 00:20:29.309 --> 00:20:31.210 that we are taking them and making sure that 00:20:31.210 --> 00:20:33.670 they'll get loving homes She almost got a little 00:20:33.670 --> 00:20:35.670 choked up today. I was like girl. You cannot 00:20:35.670 --> 00:20:38.130 keep these puppies She's like, I know I'm just 00:20:38.130 --> 00:20:42.099 so glad that they lived. I'm like I am too The 00:20:42.099 --> 00:20:45.940 T letter of four is kind of a funny story, but 00:20:45.940 --> 00:20:49.019 mostly sad. My mom was at her doctor's appointment 00:20:49.019 --> 00:20:51.440 an hour away from home and she was telling them 00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:55.579 that she found out that she had ascites. So my 00:20:55.579 --> 00:20:57.480 mom has stage four cancer. If you're a new listener, 00:20:57.539 --> 00:21:00.839 my mom has stage four terminal breast cancer. 00:21:01.140 --> 00:21:04.359 And she found out because she thought she had 00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:07.240 worms. She thought she had worms from puppies, 00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:10.380 which of course she didn't. It's never worms. 00:21:11.019 --> 00:21:14.740 None of you are in danger of getting worms. I 00:21:14.740 --> 00:21:16.480 don't know why my mother thought that she had 00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:19.359 worms. It ended up being stage four cancer, but 00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:22.480 so she said, I thought that my ascites fluid 00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:28.539 was worms because I foster puppies. And the doctor 00:21:28.539 --> 00:21:31.359 was like, oh, you foster puppies. One of my employees 00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:33.500 has a litter of really pretty puppies that she 00:21:33.500 --> 00:21:37.460 needs a home for, so don't leave yet. So he leaves, 00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:39.319 and when he comes back, he's like, oh, she knows 00:21:39.319 --> 00:21:41.359 who you are. She'll just talk to you at church. 00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:44.420 My mom was like, who? I don't even know who this 00:21:44.420 --> 00:21:47.099 is. Two or three weeks went by. She never heard 00:21:47.099 --> 00:21:49.240 anything. And by the time she texted my mom, 00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:51.759 they were already eight weeks old. And she said 00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:53.779 that they were itching really, really badly. 00:21:54.420 --> 00:21:57.039 They had disappeared for a while. We still don't 00:21:57.039 --> 00:21:59.660 know where they went or what happened to them. 00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:03.519 But then they just ended up wandering back. The 00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:06.200 mom of the puppies had wandered up as a pregnant 00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:09.779 stray and she gave birth in their old barn but 00:22:09.779 --> 00:22:11.819 then they went out there one morning when the 00:22:11.819 --> 00:22:13.740 puppies were about four weeks old and the mom 00:22:13.740 --> 00:22:16.920 was laying out there dead with all the puppies 00:22:16.920 --> 00:22:19.680 curled up around her. We think she had been hit 00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:22.099 by a car and then just made it back to her puppies 00:22:22.099 --> 00:22:26.220 and just laid down. But once she sent us pictures 00:22:26.220 --> 00:22:28.339 of the puppies we could tell that they had mange 00:22:28.339 --> 00:22:31.539 and they were really itchy. So we gave her an 00:22:31.539 --> 00:22:34.119 X card to give all of the puppies and then my 00:22:34.119 --> 00:22:38.660 mom cleaned her pen after having the eight ringworm 00:22:38.660 --> 00:22:41.420 White Pyrenees puppies from last transport and 00:22:41.420 --> 00:22:43.960 she went to pick up these for the lady said that 00:22:43.960 --> 00:22:46.720 they had been in her barn So we pictured like 00:22:46.720 --> 00:22:50.059 a really nice horse barn But they were actually 00:22:50.059 --> 00:22:53.680 under an old barn that had fallen in and we've 00:22:53.680 --> 00:22:55.640 been having terrible storms So I know they've 00:22:55.640 --> 00:22:57.619 had a miserable last few weeks. They're gonna 00:22:57.619 --> 00:23:00.509 be so happy to get to your beautiful Virginia 00:23:00.509 --> 00:23:05.450 homes. The C litter of eight are actually a litter 00:23:05.450 --> 00:23:08.769 of nine now. They are owner surrenders. These 00:23:08.769 --> 00:23:11.109 owners usually sell the puppies but when they 00:23:11.109 --> 00:23:14.109 came out mostly black we knew that they would 00:23:14.109 --> 00:23:17.329 have trouble finding homes for them. They were 00:23:17.329 --> 00:23:20.369 selling them on Facebook for $25 so we asked 00:23:20.369 --> 00:23:22.529 if we could take the puppies and spay their mom 00:23:22.529 --> 00:23:25.190 instead. They said that we could have eight of 00:23:25.190 --> 00:23:28.769 them. Now Y 'all know my spiel by now. If you 00:23:28.769 --> 00:23:31.089 don't surrender your whole litter, I will not 00:23:31.089 --> 00:23:34.109 spay your mama. Except when I make exceptions, 00:23:34.490 --> 00:23:39.130 which is becoming too common. But this is not 00:23:39.130 --> 00:23:40.910 the first litter that we've taken for this family. 00:23:40.910 --> 00:23:42.589 I don't even think it's the second or the third 00:23:42.589 --> 00:23:46.589 we've taken. And I know we all have feelings 00:23:46.589 --> 00:23:50.329 about taking puppies from breeders and I am absolutely 00:23:50.329 --> 00:23:52.910 the first person to tell you how terrible backyard 00:23:52.910 --> 00:23:55.329 breeders are and why you should never ever support 00:23:55.329 --> 00:23:59.119 them. but I will also tell you how important 00:23:59.119 --> 00:24:01.720 it is to not burn the bridge with these people. 00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:04.500 We have taken so many puppies from them that 00:24:04.500 --> 00:24:07.299 weren't purebred so they couldn't sell them or 00:24:07.299 --> 00:24:09.539 like one time the mom wouldn't feed them so we 00:24:09.539 --> 00:24:11.180 took them and we bottle fed them and then she 00:24:11.180 --> 00:24:14.660 just let them let us have them anyways My point 00:24:14.660 --> 00:24:16.980 is they could absolutely get rid of all these 00:24:16.980 --> 00:24:18.779 puppies in a heartbeat. They could take them 00:24:18.779 --> 00:24:20.559 to Walmart and give them away for free. They 00:24:20.559 --> 00:24:21.960 could put them on Facebook and sell them for 00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:25.579 a couple bucks. They will never be stuck with 00:24:25.579 --> 00:24:27.640 these puppies because they are so cute and they 00:24:27.640 --> 00:24:31.299 are so fluffy. But because we keep a good relationship 00:24:31.299 --> 00:24:33.619 with them, they let us have the ones that they 00:24:33.619 --> 00:24:36.119 do and we can make sure that those at least go 00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:37.779 to good homes where they're spayed and neutered 00:24:37.779 --> 00:24:41.460 and not reproducing all over the place. So now... 00:24:41.609 --> 00:24:44.569 She's not letting us spay the mom of this litter, 00:24:44.930 --> 00:24:49.269 which is ridiculous, but she did ask if instead 00:24:49.269 --> 00:24:52.470 we would spay the original mom of all the puppies. 00:24:52.529 --> 00:24:55.990 So this is this mom's mom. This is the grandma 00:24:55.990 --> 00:24:59.289 of these puppies. We have pulled puppies from 00:24:59.289 --> 00:25:03.210 him from her before, so I am ecstatic that they 00:25:03.210 --> 00:25:05.670 are letting us spay her now. We're actually setting 00:25:05.670 --> 00:25:07.490 up the whole thing and taking her ourselves just 00:25:07.490 --> 00:25:10.180 to make sure. it really gets done and they don't 00:25:10.180 --> 00:25:14.240 change their minds or forget. So yes, it sucks 00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:16.279 that they're breeding. It sucks that they don't 00:25:16.279 --> 00:25:19.380 let us spay the parents every time. But because 00:25:19.380 --> 00:25:21.339 we didn't burn the bridge with them after the 00:25:21.339 --> 00:25:24.440 first litter, we've been able to take at least 00:25:24.440 --> 00:25:26.339 two dozen puppies from them. And now they're 00:25:26.339 --> 00:25:28.960 letting us spay the original mom. So I'm very 00:25:28.960 --> 00:25:32.279 happy. But oh, so it was originally a litter 00:25:32.279 --> 00:25:35.339 of well, OK, so it's originally a litter of 11. 00:25:35.539 --> 00:25:38.420 They were going to let us have because they were 00:25:38.420 --> 00:25:41.480 giving three away to their friends. Well, we 00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:45.299 texted them this morning because we wanted to 00:25:45.299 --> 00:25:46.940 make sure that everyone really did come and pick 00:25:46.940 --> 00:25:49.180 up their puppy and they texted back and said 00:25:49.180 --> 00:25:51.500 one person didn't. You can come get it on your 00:25:51.500 --> 00:25:55.059 way to transport if you want. So we got nine. 00:25:55.180 --> 00:25:57.700 Super excited. Super excited for that last little 00:25:57.700 --> 00:26:03.019 one. The S letter of 11 are owner surrenders 00:26:03.019 --> 00:26:06.059 the owner posted on Facebook that he had 12 puppies 00:26:06.059 --> 00:26:08.660 to give away I messaged him and told him all 00:26:08.660 --> 00:26:10.660 about wolf trap and asked him if he wanted me 00:26:10.660 --> 00:26:13.480 to take them and spay the mom for him He told 00:26:13.480 --> 00:26:16.240 me how to think about it for a few days So I 00:26:16.240 --> 00:26:18.599 reached back out later and he told me he was 00:26:18.599 --> 00:26:20.299 really surprised that he couldn't get rid of 00:26:20.299 --> 00:26:24.019 them all so he said I Guess you can have them 00:26:24.679 --> 00:26:27.619 He seemed very sketched out about the entire 00:26:27.619 --> 00:26:30.119 concept of animal rescue so I'm hoping that maybe 00:26:30.119 --> 00:26:32.059 we educated him a little bit and he feels a little 00:26:32.059 --> 00:26:34.319 bit better but I know when I send him pictures 00:26:34.319 --> 00:26:36.599 of everybody settled into their foster homes 00:26:36.599 --> 00:26:39.480 he'll be really happy. The mom of these puppies 00:26:39.480 --> 00:26:41.779 was hit by a car a few weeks ago and she was 00:26:41.779 --> 00:26:44.779 killed so I offered to neuter the male, the father, 00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:49.019 and he said He has a great bloodline, so I don't 00:26:49.019 --> 00:26:51.779 want to neuter him. And these are hunting dogs, 00:26:51.819 --> 00:26:55.259 so I thought maybe this was some championship 00:26:55.259 --> 00:26:58.279 purebred. And he told me, and this is a direct 00:26:58.279 --> 00:27:02.420 quote, I'm going to read you his text. Granddad 00:27:02.420 --> 00:27:05.400 was Tring Walker that bred with German Shepherd, 00:27:05.480 --> 00:27:09.039 which then came his dad. He bred a beagle red 00:27:09.039 --> 00:27:11.920 bone mix, which then came the dad that bred the 00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:15.930 female to these puppies. So mutts you you have 00:27:15.930 --> 00:27:20.230 mutts This is not a bloodline you have mutts, 00:27:20.230 --> 00:27:23.630 but at least he spelled bread correctly and not 00:27:23.630 --> 00:27:27.630 like BREAD like bread that you eat which was 00:27:27.630 --> 00:27:31.829 impressive. I gotta say This mama dog had 14 00:27:31.829 --> 00:27:34.130 puppies and they gave away two before posting 00:27:34.130 --> 00:27:37.490 the rest on Facebook when I saw it And they are 00:27:37.490 --> 00:27:40.829 planning to keep the runt so fingers crossed 00:27:40.829 --> 00:27:42.710 that I can convince him later to let me have 00:27:42.710 --> 00:27:45.990 that one, too He said that they thought about 00:27:45.990 --> 00:27:49.470 keeping all 12 of them at one point, but he was 00:27:49.470 --> 00:27:54.269 afraid that food would cost too much. 12 puppies. 00:27:54.690 --> 00:27:58.529 People are so dumb. The M litter of five are 00:27:58.529 --> 00:28:01.170 from our Alabama shelter friends. They were originally 00:28:01.170 --> 00:28:03.750 a litter of seven and were brought in as strays 00:28:03.750 --> 00:28:06.269 in January when they were just teeny teeny tiny 00:28:06.269 --> 00:28:09.400 five week olds. Another rescue committed to them 00:28:09.400 --> 00:28:12.339 and was supposed to pull them several times but 00:28:12.339 --> 00:28:14.839 never did and then eventually just ghosted the 00:28:14.839 --> 00:28:17.839 shelter and never said anything. Then another 00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:23.220 rescue came and they took one puppy. One puppy 00:28:23.220 --> 00:28:25.460 out of a litter of seven. I cannot even imagine 00:28:25.460 --> 00:28:27.720 doing that to the other puppies. Anyways, we 00:28:27.720 --> 00:28:30.500 were going to pull the remaining six in March, 00:28:30.500 --> 00:28:32.859 but right before transport they got super super 00:28:32.859 --> 00:28:36.160 sick with coccidia. One of the puppies died, 00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:38.319 but now that everyone is healthy and doing great 00:28:38.319 --> 00:28:40.480 we are so excited to finally bust them out of 00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:45.609 the shelter. Okay, as for the cats, listen, I 00:28:45.609 --> 00:28:49.190 have been telling you crazy cat people for weeks, 00:28:49.269 --> 00:28:51.369 just give me time and I will have a million. 00:28:51.829 --> 00:28:54.369 Well, it is happening. It's happening right now. 00:28:54.430 --> 00:28:58.789 We literally have 35 and six week old kittens 00:28:58.789 --> 00:29:02.730 right now. I'm going to need so many kitten fosters 00:29:02.730 --> 00:29:05.829 for the May 4th transport, so I hope y 'all are 00:29:05.829 --> 00:29:08.900 ready. The bee litter of two, I'm gonna be real 00:29:08.900 --> 00:29:10.700 with you. I'm not a cat person. I don't really 00:29:10.700 --> 00:29:14.079 like cats. I'm super allergic to cats. I almost 00:29:14.079 --> 00:29:16.440 brought that little white kitten home with me 00:29:16.440 --> 00:29:19.359 today. I'm obsessed with him. He is so cute. 00:29:20.180 --> 00:29:22.480 The bee litter of two are from our Alabama shelter 00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:24.900 friends who we love. They were brought in without 00:29:24.900 --> 00:29:27.660 a mama when they were just newborns and they 00:29:27.660 --> 00:29:31.079 had to bottle feed them. The D family are from 00:29:31.079 --> 00:29:33.200 the shelter too. The mama was brought in with 00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:36.440 two male cats. She was pregnant and the person 00:29:36.440 --> 00:29:40.000 bringing them in said that they were all strays 00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:42.799 and he said someone on his road was killing cats 00:29:42.799 --> 00:29:44.700 and had already killed two of the stray cats 00:29:44.700 --> 00:29:47.019 that he was taking care of at his house and he 00:29:47.019 --> 00:29:51.759 didn't want to see these get hurt too. And then 00:29:51.759 --> 00:29:55.900 there's like everybody else which Like right 00:29:55.900 --> 00:29:57.960 now in real time as I'm recording this I'm still 00:29:57.960 --> 00:30:00.079 trying to figure out how I'm gonna separate this 00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:02.819 litter and I actually don't think I am. I think 00:30:02.819 --> 00:30:05.640 I'm gonna make them just a mom and 11 kittens 00:30:05.640 --> 00:30:09.039 because they're all from the same place. So I 00:30:09.039 --> 00:30:11.279 need to see if I have enough names for that because 00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:15.500 I don't know if I have 12 J names. But I think 00:30:15.500 --> 00:30:16.940 that's what we're gonna go with. I think I've 00:30:16.940 --> 00:30:21.069 decided just now.
