WEBVTT 00:00:10.380 --> 00:00:15.279 Hello friends! Welcome to Ruff Life. I am trying 00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:18.140 really hard to have my life a little more put 00:00:18.140 --> 00:00:22.460 together and organized, so I am recording this 00:00:22.460 --> 00:00:26.839 podcast before transport. I need to leave in 00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:31.780 11 minutes, so you can look right now at how 00:00:31.780 --> 00:00:34.759 long this podcast episode is and let me know 00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:38.899 if I'm going to make it on time or not. The theme 00:00:38.899 --> 00:00:41.799 of this week's transport is in memory of Jane 00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:44.780 Goodall I'm sure you've all heard by now about 00:00:44.780 --> 00:00:47.420 her passing away this week She was actually one 00:00:47.420 --> 00:00:51.479 of dr. Burton's idols. So the theme is endangered 00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:56.700 species and Just as a funny note or embarrassing 00:00:56.700 --> 00:01:00.280 note, this is a fairly large load that we're 00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.539 sending. It's 63 total animals. I was worried 00:01:03.539 --> 00:01:06.299 I wouldn't have enough endangered species to 00:01:06.299 --> 00:01:09.340 use for names, especially because one of these 00:01:09.340 --> 00:01:13.659 is a litter of 14, so I had to have 14 names 00:01:13.659 --> 00:01:16.340 that start with the same letter. So I thought, 00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:19.299 well, you know, worst case scenario, I can use 00:01:19.299 --> 00:01:21.900 extinct animals too, like if it comes down to 00:01:21.900 --> 00:01:26.450 it. So I googled how many endangered species 00:01:26.450 --> 00:01:29.069 are in the world? Do you know? I'll give you 00:01:29.069 --> 00:01:30.829 a second to think about it and come up with a 00:01:30.829 --> 00:01:34.349 guess because I will bet that you are wrong. 00:01:35.730 --> 00:01:40.370 47 ,000 species. And that includes plants, which 00:01:40.370 --> 00:01:42.450 since I am laying all my cards out and telling 00:01:42.450 --> 00:01:45.280 you how dumb I am already. I'll go ahead and 00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:47.159 let you know. I didn't even know plants could 00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:50.299 become extinct, so that was interesting. If we 00:01:50.299 --> 00:01:52.760 could find a way to make kudzu extinct, that 00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:58.760 would help my anxiety greatly. But 16 ,000 animal 00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:02.340 species are endangered. 16 ,000! That's insane. 00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:06.760 Who even knew that there were even 16 ,000 different 00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:11.270 species? So since we just did ocean animals not 00:02:11.270 --> 00:02:13.810 too long ago as a theme and then birds not too 00:02:13.810 --> 00:02:17.490 long before that, I kept this to just endangered 00:02:17.490 --> 00:02:20.949 land animals since apparently we have so so much 00:02:20.949 --> 00:02:23.889 wiggle room now we're gonna get real specific. 00:02:24.729 --> 00:02:27.569 Some of those names were super long like four 00:02:27.569 --> 00:02:29.930 or five words which is crazy and possibly has 00:02:29.930 --> 00:02:31.610 something to do with why they're going extinct. 00:02:32.620 --> 00:02:36.020 But for everyone's sake, I shortened the names 00:02:36.020 --> 00:02:39.319 as best I could. So you may be looking at your 00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:42.860 foster named Gerbil and thinking gerbils aren't 00:02:42.860 --> 00:02:44.879 endangered. I've got five in my kid's bedroom 00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:47.879 right now. And you're right. But the Morocco, 00:02:48.139 --> 00:02:52.659 the Western Morocco gerbil is same for bison. 00:02:52.860 --> 00:02:56.219 Bison are fine, but the wood bison and the yellow 00:02:56.219 --> 00:02:59.539 plains bison, the yellowstone plain bisons are 00:02:59.539 --> 00:03:02.020 threatened. So we're just going to worry about 00:03:02.020 --> 00:03:06.120 all bison for short. Also, how funny is it that 00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:09.599 last transport was a two van transport because 00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:12.719 I physically could not, humanely or inhumanely 00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:16.099 for that matter, I could not fit all the animals 00:03:16.099 --> 00:03:20.280 in one van and we only sent 54 total animals. 00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:25.479 Today is 63. And they will all fit humanely, 00:03:25.900 --> 00:03:29.479 humanely will fit on one van, which is so crazy. 00:03:29.539 --> 00:03:32.620 But we had so many adults and big, huge puppies 00:03:32.620 --> 00:03:34.599 on the last transport that everybody just took 00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:37.000 up so much room. Everyone this week is pretty 00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:42.259 small. OK, on to the stories. Okay, my friends 00:03:42.259 --> 00:03:46.259 that are fostering puppies from litters, I am 00:03:46.259 --> 00:03:49.259 not going to say every single animal's name. 00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:53.819 The first letter of your foster's name is the 00:03:53.819 --> 00:03:59.020 litter name. So for example, Tiger is the T litter. 00:03:59.259 --> 00:04:02.460 He's part of the T litter. Lion is the L litter. 00:04:02.539 --> 00:04:05.039 There's not enough time. I was going to say in 00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:06.840 the world, but really there is enough time in 00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:09.919 the world, but there's not enough time before 00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:13.819 transport for me to read off every single animal 00:04:13.819 --> 00:04:15.539 name. And to be honest, I can't even pronounce 00:04:15.539 --> 00:04:19.240 half of them. So the only animals that get their 00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:22.519 names read are singles that aren't part of a 00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:26.970 letter. So let's go. Orangutan was posted on 00:04:26.970 --> 00:04:29.589 Facebook. He had wandered into someone's yard 00:04:29.589 --> 00:04:33.129 and they weren't able to keep him. Ariel, actually 00:04:33.129 --> 00:04:35.470 one of our Wolf Trap staff members just happened 00:04:35.470 --> 00:04:38.750 to see it posted in this Facebook group and she 00:04:38.750 --> 00:04:41.509 tagged me begging to pull him. I messaged the 00:04:41.509 --> 00:04:42.990 finder and told her that we would come and get 00:04:42.990 --> 00:04:45.709 him. And then she actually offered to hang on 00:04:45.709 --> 00:04:48.730 to him until transport for us. So we'll see if 00:04:48.730 --> 00:04:52.430 she really shows up today. I'm I'm skeptical. 00:04:54.220 --> 00:04:56.639 Rhinoceros was dumped at my stepbrothers house, 00:04:56.779 --> 00:05:00.199 my sweet precious baby nephews who are on a rescue 00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:04.079 high. After they saved the R litter of seven 00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:06.779 on the Wiggles transport, they just fell in love 00:05:06.779 --> 00:05:09.160 with him and they begged, begged, begged their 00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:12.720 dad to call his dad, my mom's husband, to come 00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:14.319 and get it because they didn't want a coyote 00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:17.060 to eat him overnight. So my parents went and 00:05:17.060 --> 00:05:19.459 got him and then my mom kept him at her house 00:05:19.459 --> 00:05:23.870 until transport. Asian Elephant was found in 00:05:23.870 --> 00:05:27.050 a pool skimmer and posted on Facebook for free. 00:05:27.670 --> 00:05:29.689 Our rescue partner Tasha sent her daughter to 00:05:29.689 --> 00:05:32.410 rescue him and there were no other puppies or 00:05:32.410 --> 00:05:36.310 mom that was ever found. Pangolin was supposed 00:05:36.310 --> 00:05:39.949 to be on the bread transport last week. I'm still 00:05:39.949 --> 00:05:43.009 so bummed about this. She was going to go with 00:05:43.009 --> 00:05:45.610 her also pregnant sister friend and their names 00:05:45.610 --> 00:05:49.610 were going to be Hot Dog Buns and Hot Cross Buns. 00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:55.139 how cute well hot cross buns now pangolin decided 00:05:55.139 --> 00:05:57.720 to go into labor the morning of transport so 00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:01.000 she obviously missed the boat although uh her 00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:05.060 sister hot dog buns ended up giving birth on 00:06:05.060 --> 00:06:08.339 the transport van on the van which of all the 00:06:08.339 --> 00:06:10.000 transports for this to happen to it was actually 00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:12.560 fine because she had a much bigger crate than 00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:14.379 she normally would have if it was just a one 00:06:14.379 --> 00:06:18.740 van transport but she had the penthouse suite, 00:06:19.019 --> 00:06:23.660 so it was fine. So pangolin actually the dog 00:06:23.660 --> 00:06:25.899 that's coming today. She actually gave birth 00:06:25.899 --> 00:06:29.459 to one puppy It was stillborn Unfortunately, 00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:32.800 and we waited for 24 hours for her to have another 00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:35.759 puppy, but none ever came So we sent her to dr. 00:06:36.100 --> 00:06:39.199 Jamie's who if you didn't know was dr. Burton 00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:41.839 student here at Mississippi State University 00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:45.579 so many years ago and They ended up being lifelong 00:06:45.579 --> 00:06:48.800 best friends. We helped dr. Jamie out with animals 00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:51.519 I get dumped at her clinic and she helps us with 00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:55.600 low -cost veterinary care. So she checked her 00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:57.339 out and there we just wanted to make sure there 00:06:57.339 --> 00:06:59.759 were no other puppies stuck somewhere or anything. 00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:03.040 But nope, it was just one puppy and it didn't 00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:06.139 even make it. It's not all that surprising that 00:07:06.139 --> 00:07:08.300 it was stillborn. That's super common down here. 00:07:08.300 --> 00:07:10.360 There's usually at least one stillborn puppy 00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:14.120 in every litter because they typically have no 00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:17.540 prenatal care, so much stress, rarely any food, 00:07:17.579 --> 00:07:21.000 let alone good quality and reliable food. but 00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:24.079 it is really weird that she only had one puppy. 00:07:25.459 --> 00:07:29.439 That's not very common. She seemed really sad 00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:31.800 and anxious the first few days, but then I think 00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:34.360 she quickly realized how much better she felt 00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:36.379 now that she wasn't pregnant anymore and that 00:07:36.379 --> 00:07:38.459 she didn't have any dumb babies to worry about, 00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:42.240 so she perked right up and she has been happy 00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:45.279 as can be ever since, and we are so so glad that 00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:47.459 Dr. Burton will spay her so that she never has 00:07:47.459 --> 00:07:51.449 to go through this again. The L litter of six 00:07:51.449 --> 00:07:55.129 were born to a stray mama dog. She wandered up 00:07:55.129 --> 00:07:57.970 to one of our rescue partners Foster's homes 00:07:57.970 --> 00:08:00.730 and gave birth. They fell in love with the mama 00:08:00.730 --> 00:08:03.250 dog and are going to keep her and we will pay 00:08:03.250 --> 00:08:07.569 to have her spayed for them. The H litter of 00:08:07.569 --> 00:08:11.449 five are owner surrenders. Okay, my OGs that 00:08:11.449 --> 00:08:14.250 are listening, do you guys remember the Mastiff 00:08:14.250 --> 00:08:19.870 mob? The Mastiff mama would have like 14 puppies 00:08:19.870 --> 00:08:24.050 every litter and the owners refused to spay her 00:08:24.050 --> 00:08:27.490 for so long and then they finally let me I mean 00:08:27.490 --> 00:08:29.810 like I think it was like three litters and they 00:08:29.810 --> 00:08:33.110 finally let me okay well apparently they've switched 00:08:33.110 --> 00:08:35.950 to Australian cattle dogs now and while we're 00:08:35.950 --> 00:08:40.210 still on the topic of how dumb is Katie um I 00:08:40.210 --> 00:08:46.820 I just learned today that healers, healer mixes, 00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:50.379 healer is not a breed. I thought like red healer, 00:08:50.379 --> 00:08:53.340 blue healers, those were breeds of dogs. They 00:08:53.340 --> 00:08:57.299 are not. They are actually all Australian cattle 00:08:57.299 --> 00:09:01.740 dogs. So I'm not even kidding you, 30 years, 00:09:01.820 --> 00:09:04.820 my whole life, I thought Australian cattle dogs 00:09:04.820 --> 00:09:07.179 were one breed and healers were another breed. 00:09:08.419 --> 00:09:11.139 So... I don't know if that's just me and I'm 00:09:11.139 --> 00:09:14.320 just really dumb and never realized that or like 00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:17.399 is this news to everyone else? Like tell me in 00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:20.679 the comments or something if this was brand new 00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:23.759 information to you as well. So apparently this 00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:25.980 family has now switched to Australian Cattle 00:09:25.980 --> 00:09:28.679 Dogs, which let me just say they called them 00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:31.460 purebred blue healers. So I know that I'm not 00:09:31.460 --> 00:09:33.240 the only one in the whole world that thought 00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:38.860 that. They so the Mastiff mom is spayed. She's 00:09:38.860 --> 00:09:40.940 still alive. They have her they love her now 00:09:40.940 --> 00:09:44.179 They have two purebred all showing cattle dogs 00:09:44.179 --> 00:09:47.700 that they bred together and they were going to 00:09:47.700 --> 00:09:49.799 sell the puppies But apparently they were only 00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:52.980 able to sell seven of the puppies and they are 00:09:52.980 --> 00:09:56.970 quote -unquote letting letting me have the other 00:09:56.970 --> 00:09:59.809 five, how generous. And y 'all know, my rule 00:09:59.809 --> 00:10:02.470 is you have to give me the whole litter in order 00:10:02.470 --> 00:10:04.690 for me to spay your mom for free, because otherwise 00:10:04.690 --> 00:10:07.129 what's the point? This is dumb. But it didn't 00:10:07.129 --> 00:10:09.769 even matter this time. I offered to pay her anyways, 00:10:10.250 --> 00:10:12.370 just because we know they're repeat offenders. 00:10:12.429 --> 00:10:14.169 And I was like, whatever, if I can get this mom 00:10:14.169 --> 00:10:17.590 spayed, I'm doing it. And they said no. They 00:10:17.590 --> 00:10:20.970 said they want to breed her one more time and 00:10:20.970 --> 00:10:24.269 then I can spay her. So I guess we'll be getting 00:10:24.269 --> 00:10:26.809 another litter from them in six to eight months 00:10:26.809 --> 00:10:30.870 when they can't sell those puppies either. The 00:10:30.870 --> 00:10:34.909 C litter of nine have a very similar story to 00:10:34.909 --> 00:10:37.389 the H litter, but this is an entire different 00:10:37.389 --> 00:10:40.210 family who owns these. So these are not related 00:10:40.210 --> 00:10:45.419 at all. It's just they're dumb too. These puppies 00:10:45.419 --> 00:10:49.460 are from the same mom as the C litter of eight. 00:10:49.909 --> 00:10:53.730 from the April 19th love on the spectrum transport, 00:10:54.149 --> 00:10:56.730 I go into a full deep dive of like the family 00:10:56.730 --> 00:11:00.009 history and the story on that episode. So I encourage 00:11:00.009 --> 00:11:02.450 you to go listen to that if you're fostering 00:11:02.450 --> 00:11:05.649 one of these. But long story short, they won't 00:11:05.649 --> 00:11:08.809 let us spay this mom for them because they want 00:11:08.809 --> 00:11:13.470 to their plan is to breed her with their sister's 00:11:13.470 --> 00:11:16.370 doodle so that they can sell Pyrenees doodle 00:11:16.370 --> 00:11:19.450 puppies and make some money. However, they have 00:11:19.450 --> 00:11:25.029 no concept of how mating dogs works, and they 00:11:25.029 --> 00:11:28.149 don't understand that an unaltered male dog will 00:11:28.149 --> 00:11:30.429 do absolutely whatever it takes to get with a 00:11:30.429 --> 00:11:34.289 female in heat. And so then they're shocked when 00:11:34.289 --> 00:11:37.549 their solid white great Pyrenees dog gives birth 00:11:37.549 --> 00:11:39.809 to black and brown puppies. They called these 00:11:39.809 --> 00:11:41.470 puppies ugly. They were like, yeah, some of these 00:11:41.470 --> 00:11:45.230 are really ugly. oh okay yeah they're real ugly 00:11:45.230 --> 00:11:50.230 let me have them anyways they did let us spay 00:11:50.230 --> 00:11:54.269 the mama of this mama after the last litter that 00:11:54.269 --> 00:11:57.370 we took so the grandmother of of all these puppies 00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:00.399 is spayed and that does help my feelings a little 00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:03.519 bit and they were going to let their two boys 00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:07.159 who are just elementary school age keep two of 00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:10.059 the male puppies until we had a long talk with 00:12:10.059 --> 00:12:12.480 them and about how many dogs they were going 00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:14.259 to have and all the inbreeding that was going 00:12:14.259 --> 00:12:18.360 to be going on so they did last night literally 00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:21.639 night before transport let us have the last two 00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:24.179 puppies so i'm very relieved that they're giving 00:12:24.179 --> 00:12:28.620 the whole litter to us I go back and forth on 00:12:28.620 --> 00:12:30.740 my feelings about situations like this all the 00:12:30.740 --> 00:12:34.220 time. But the bottom line is this, and I'm saying 00:12:34.220 --> 00:12:39.759 this to me mainly to remind myself, these puppies 00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:42.799 are going to have the best lives and they are 00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:44.960 not going to be adding to the overpopulation 00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:48.519 crisis in our state. Period. End of story. Is 00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:52.059 it terrible that they are breeding the mom? Absolutely, 00:12:52.299 --> 00:12:54.320 and my heart aches for her that her body has 00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:56.820 to go through this so often. But these puppies 00:12:56.820 --> 00:12:59.559 and even the H litter puppies from the last story, 00:12:59.600 --> 00:13:03.039 they are all so stinking cute and so adorable 00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:05.879 right now. These owners would have absolutely 00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:07.840 no problem taking them to Walmart and giving 00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:10.360 them away for free in the parking lot or even 00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:12.980 posting them on Facebook and making $20 a puppy. 00:13:13.340 --> 00:13:17.429 I can promise you. they will get rid of these 00:13:17.429 --> 00:13:21.230 puppies in a heartbeat. Like anyone would want 00:13:21.230 --> 00:13:24.389 these puppies. And I can promise you that none, 00:13:25.070 --> 00:13:27.730 none of these puppies would be spayed or neutered. 00:13:27.730 --> 00:13:31.990 And we would have 14 unaltered dogs reproducing 00:13:31.990 --> 00:13:36.370 in six months. So I hate it. I hate helping the 00:13:36.370 --> 00:13:39.049 owners. I hate feeling like I'm enabling them, 00:13:39.230 --> 00:13:42.090 but I just keep reminding myself that I'm really 00:13:42.090 --> 00:13:44.850 just helping these innocent puppies and that's 00:13:44.850 --> 00:13:47.350 the important part. I don't want to burn bridges 00:13:47.350 --> 00:13:50.429 with these owners because like both of them, 00:13:50.730 --> 00:13:53.570 they finally let me spate the mast if mom, she's 00:13:53.570 --> 00:13:56.149 not having puppies anymore. If we wouldn't have 00:13:56.149 --> 00:13:58.190 continued our relationship with them, she would 00:13:58.190 --> 00:14:00.049 still be having puppies and they would just be 00:14:00.049 --> 00:14:03.740 giving them away nonstop. This family with the 00:14:03.740 --> 00:14:06.000 with the Great Pyrenees, they finally let me 00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:10.559 spay the mother of of everybody. And so now she's 00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:12.580 not reproducing anymore. She just gets to live 00:14:12.580 --> 00:14:17.340 her life and it's her daughter now. So. It's 00:14:17.340 --> 00:14:20.620 just we just we can't burn the bridges as badly 00:14:20.620 --> 00:14:24.210 as I just want to torch them. and we have at 00:14:24.210 --> 00:14:26.669 least gotten through to the owners of this mama 00:14:26.669 --> 00:14:29.409 this Pyrenees mom how bad it is for her to have 00:14:29.409 --> 00:14:32.509 puppies every single heat cycle so they are at 00:14:32.509 --> 00:14:34.370 least going to wait a year before they breed 00:14:34.370 --> 00:14:37.610 her with the doodle and maybe they'll come to 00:14:37.610 --> 00:14:40.149 their senses before then and let me spay her 00:14:40.149 --> 00:14:44.789 but but all of the puppies are going to be safe 00:14:44.789 --> 00:14:51.820 and loved and sterilized The G litter of 9 were 00:14:51.820 --> 00:14:54.559 born to a stray mama dog. She wandered up to 00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:56.720 someone's house and gave birth. They contacted 00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:00.179 our rescue partners to take the puppies and they're 00:15:00.179 --> 00:15:02.740 keeping the mama dog so we'll spay her for them. 00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:08.299 The T litter of 14 are not a litter of 14 and 00:15:08.299 --> 00:15:12.960 their date of birth is wrong too. It's actually 00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:15.899 a litter of nine and a litter of five and they 00:15:15.899 --> 00:15:19.259 were born two weeks apart at the same home. But 00:15:19.259 --> 00:15:21.720 the owner doesn't know which ones are part of 00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:25.500 which litter. So we just combined them to one 00:15:25.500 --> 00:15:27.580 family and split the difference on their date 00:15:27.580 --> 00:15:30.519 of birth. So nine of these puppies are actually 00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:33.759 one week older and five are actually one week 00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:36.700 younger than what their date of birth says. But 00:15:36.700 --> 00:15:38.480 good luck figuring out which ones are which. 00:15:40.079 --> 00:15:43.059 A man and his wife moved next door to her brother 00:15:43.059 --> 00:15:45.820 a couple years ago to help take care of him and 00:15:45.820 --> 00:15:48.759 they have just watched his dogs have litter after 00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:51.779 litter after litter every six months. The brother 00:15:51.779 --> 00:15:57.200 has some mental issues and he isn't the easiest 00:15:57.200 --> 00:16:00.399 to deal with. They are pretty sure that he took 00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:04.659 the last litters and dumped them somewhere or 00:16:04.659 --> 00:16:08.519 worse right after they were born. And so when 00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:11.179 two more of his dogs got pregnant, they finally 00:16:11.179 --> 00:16:14.539 convinced him to let them help. So they contacted 00:16:14.539 --> 00:16:17.360 another rescue first. They contacted several, 00:16:17.379 --> 00:16:19.779 actually. None of them were able to help. And 00:16:19.779 --> 00:16:22.940 two of them even gave out our information. And 00:16:22.940 --> 00:16:25.159 one of them gave Jessica's personal cell phone 00:16:25.159 --> 00:16:29.460 number, actually. And that's what she gets for 00:16:29.460 --> 00:16:31.500 answering unknown numbers all the time. If she 00:16:31.500 --> 00:16:33.480 was like me and never answered her phone, no 00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:37.259 one would bother to give out the number. They 00:16:37.259 --> 00:16:39.799 have taken excellent care of all of these puppies 00:16:39.799 --> 00:16:42.779 and they are so, so, so extremely thankful for 00:16:42.779 --> 00:16:45.220 all of our help. The mamas are already scheduled 00:16:45.220 --> 00:16:48.120 to be spayed and we'll be paying for that. And 00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:50.500 the owner, the brother has turned over ownership 00:16:50.500 --> 00:16:53.419 to them, to the brother, to the sister and his 00:16:53.419 --> 00:16:56.259 wife. So everyone is just very relieved in this 00:16:56.259 --> 00:17:00.240 whole situation. As for the kittens, the B litter 00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:02.759 of six were found on the side of the road with 00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:05.420 their eyes still closed, so like less than a 00:17:05.420 --> 00:17:08.259 week old, and the person who found them took 00:17:08.259 --> 00:17:11.720 them to our bottle feeder foster. And the S litter 00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:14.400 of nine, our owner surrenders. Again, this was 00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:17.359 two litters that morphed into one. They've all 00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:19.700 been taken care of and socialized, and the two 00:17:19.700 --> 00:17:23.880 moms are already scheduled for spec. That is 00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:28.140 all of the stories. What am I at? almost 20 minutes. 00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:31.619 I drive really fast though, so like it's okay. 00:17:31.640 --> 00:17:34.140 I can make up some of this time. Thank you so 00:17:34.140 --> 00:17:36.599 much for listening. Thank you so much for fostering. 00:17:36.619 --> 00:17:40.000 Thank you so much for supporting us.

I hate 00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:52.819 it too, but we're monetized. That's so exciting. 00:17:53.380 --> 00:17:57.359 I want to quit my job so bad and just Make money 00:17:57.359 --> 00:18:00.019 from the podcast so that the rescue gets to keep 00:18:00.019 --> 00:18:04.200 all my money and I can do my job for free We 00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:06.880 also have our 10 -year anniversary party coming 00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:10.480 up so if you are fostering right now for the 00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:14.599 first time or if you are fostering for a millionth 00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:17.779 time, please come to the party. It would be so 00:18:17.779 --> 00:18:20.099 fun to see everybody and see everyone's pictures 00:18:20.099 --> 00:18:24.019 and all the family reunions. And we've got like 00:18:24.019 --> 00:18:26.720 a ton of stuff that we're auctioning and raffling 00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:29.759 off. It's a ton of really cool stuff.
