00:00:10.060 --> 00:00:14.900
Welcome to Ruff life. We have got a short episode

00:00:14.900 --> 00:00:19.120
today mostly because it's a small transport with

00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:24.100
not a lot of stories, but also because I am single

00:00:24.100 --> 00:00:29.920
moming it today and it has been terrible. Justin

00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:33.200
is at an Alabama football game with all his friends.

00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:37.460
So I've had Mary Sue by myself all day from the

00:00:37.460 --> 00:00:39.960
moment we woke up till she went to sleep tonight.

00:00:40.219 --> 00:00:44.420
And I seriously don't know how any working mom

00:00:44.420 --> 00:00:49.460
in the world is able to be a single mom. Holy

00:00:49.460 --> 00:00:51.820
moly, I am exhausted. I don't know how you guys

00:00:51.820 --> 00:00:56.070
do it more than just one day. Ugh. But okay,

00:00:56.070 --> 00:00:59.869
let's jump into the stories. Today's theme is

00:00:59.869 --> 00:01:03.609
constellations because Mary Sue is all of a sudden

00:01:03.609 --> 00:01:08.069
obsessed with the moon and stars. She even sang

00:01:08.069 --> 00:01:10.269
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to me yesterday,

00:01:10.290 --> 00:01:13.890
except she calls the song a buh -buh. She just

00:01:13.890 --> 00:01:16.769
says a buh -buh, a buh -buh. When she's telling

00:01:16.769 --> 00:01:18.430
you like what song she wants to sing, she'll

00:01:18.430 --> 00:01:22.829
just say a buh -buh. Anyway, my 18 month old

00:01:22.829 --> 00:01:27.319
is the reason for the theme. Virgo wandered up

00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:29.840
to a house in town covered in fleas and super

00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:33.060
pitiful from a flea allergy. The family gave

00:01:33.060 --> 00:01:35.239
him a bath and put a blanket on the porch for

00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:38.920
him and we took them some medicine for his itching

00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.099
and food and so they were able to hang on to

00:01:42.099 --> 00:01:44.620
him until we had a foster available to take him.

00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:48.719
Ursa Major was posted on Facebook as free to

00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:51.299
a good home because the elderly owner lives in

00:01:51.299 --> 00:01:54.840
a low income government apartment and they aren't

00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:57.060
allowed to have pets without a doctor's note

00:01:57.060 --> 00:02:00.540
and the doctor wouldn't sign off on her which

00:02:00.540 --> 00:02:03.819
that sounds ridiculous but I'm kind of wondering

00:02:03.819 --> 00:02:07.019
if maybe the doctor knows something we don't

00:02:07.019 --> 00:02:09.479
and was like this is not gonna be a good home

00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:12.240
for the dog I don't know but if he just didn't

00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:15.030
sign off because He didn't want them to have

00:02:15.030 --> 00:02:18.490
a dog. That's just insane. But man, I loved this

00:02:18.490 --> 00:02:20.610
dog. I almost pulled her off the van today to

00:02:20.610 --> 00:02:23.789
foster her because she is so stinking tiny and

00:02:23.789 --> 00:02:28.509
cute. I love her. Taurus was born to a stray

00:02:28.509 --> 00:02:30.969
mom that came up to a house pregnant and gave

00:02:30.969 --> 00:02:33.710
birth. They only ever found one puppy, so they

00:02:33.710 --> 00:02:36.550
think that that's all she had. They are keeping

00:02:36.550 --> 00:02:39.979
the mom and we will spay her for them. The O

00:02:39.979 --> 00:02:42.759
letter of two just showed up to an elderly couple's

00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:45.439
house. The husband is on hospice and the wife

00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:47.719
couldn't take care of them and her husband, so

00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:51.620
she asked us to take them. The S letter of two

00:02:51.620 --> 00:02:54.659
are owner surrenders to our Alabama shelter friends.

00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:56.740
The owners were moving and couldn't take them

00:02:56.740 --> 00:03:01.599
with them. The A letter of five, so Jessica got

00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:04.280
a call from one of the guys at our local water

00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:06.919
association. She assumed it was work -related

00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:10.080
because that's maybe what she does for a job.

00:03:10.379 --> 00:03:13.659
I actually do not know what Jessica does for

00:03:13.659 --> 00:03:17.099
a job. I always say it's like she's Chandler

00:03:17.099 --> 00:03:19.460
Bing from Friends where like we know she has

00:03:19.460 --> 00:03:21.740
a job. She goes to her job every day. We have

00:03:21.740 --> 00:03:26.030
no idea what she does for a job. But so she thought

00:03:26.030 --> 00:03:28.389
it was work related So she answered the phone

00:03:28.389 --> 00:03:30.930
and as soon as she answered she heard puppies

00:03:30.930 --> 00:03:33.810
barking in the background so he said he had just

00:03:33.810 --> 00:03:36.349
picked up five puppies on a back road in the

00:03:36.349 --> 00:03:38.930
middle of nowhere and Could he bring them to

00:03:38.930 --> 00:03:41.469
her now? So she explained that we don't have

00:03:41.469 --> 00:03:44.150
any space available and you know, we would start

00:03:44.150 --> 00:03:45.949
looking for a foster But it may take a little

00:03:45.949 --> 00:03:48.409
while and he said he would find someone else

00:03:48.409 --> 00:03:51.090
to take them So he posted them on Facebook and

00:03:51.090 --> 00:03:54.150
as expected, a few hours later, we are just getting

00:03:54.150 --> 00:03:56.110
tagged left and right with people begging us

00:03:56.110 --> 00:03:59.610
to take them. A lady, another lady at the Water

00:03:59.610 --> 00:04:02.240
Association. took them home with her actually

00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:05.840
and as a funny note this family's dog had recently

00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:09.719
run away they they lost their dog and the son

00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:13.340
saw one posted by a shelter a couple towns away

00:04:13.340 --> 00:04:16.199
and he thought it was their dog it looked like

00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:19.040
their dog so he went he got it he adopted it

00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:21.199
he took it home to his parents expecting them

00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:24.160
to be so excited that that their lost dog had

00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:26.360
come home and they immediately were like that's

00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:28.410
not our dog you thought that was a dog that's

00:04:28.410 --> 00:04:30.250
not our dog we have no idea whose dog this is

00:04:30.250 --> 00:04:32.170
so they're like taking back to the shelter that's

00:04:32.170 --> 00:04:34.670
not our dog and the shelter wouldn't take it

00:04:34.670 --> 00:04:37.569
back because they live outside the city limits

00:04:37.569 --> 00:04:43.110
so it's stuck with this dog because because they

00:04:43.110 --> 00:04:45.509
can't own or surrender it they don't live in

00:04:45.509 --> 00:04:49.009
the city limits so it's a terrible dog too it's

00:04:49.009 --> 00:04:52.019
like chasing their cats, driving them all crazy.

00:04:52.180 --> 00:04:55.079
The husband is beside himself that they are stuck

00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:57.839
with this dog. And then his wife comes home with

00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:02.480
five puppies. So they were very thankful that

00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:04.600
Jessica came and got them as quickly as she did.

00:05:05.790 --> 00:05:08.949
The C litter of 11 are from the same home and

00:05:08.949 --> 00:05:12.589
have the same dad as the J litter of seven from

00:05:12.589 --> 00:05:15.389
last week's transport They're all just owner

00:05:15.389 --> 00:05:17.930
surrenders The two moms showed up as stray and

00:05:17.930 --> 00:05:19.829
the family's fine with keeping them more spaying

00:05:19.829 --> 00:05:22.970
both moms for them But the neighborhood male

00:05:22.970 --> 00:05:25.389
dog knocked them up at the same time and the

00:05:25.389 --> 00:05:27.050
family didn't know what to do with all the puppies

00:05:27.050 --> 00:05:29.810
because It was like 18 puppies. That's insane

00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:34.660
The L mom and her two L puppies are from our

00:05:34.660 --> 00:05:37.360
Alabama shelter friends The mom was dumped in

00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:39.339
the county and the shelter took her in just because

00:05:39.339 --> 00:05:41.959
she was super pregnant and pitiful She ended

00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:44.660
up having four puppies a few days later and then

00:05:44.660 --> 00:05:48.379
two puppies died almost immediately and These

00:05:48.379 --> 00:05:51.560
two puppies are four weeks old. We know their

00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:54.040
date of birth. We know the day that they were

00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:58.040
born but they look like they are barely two weeks

00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:01.319
old. their eyes just opened the other day and

00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:03.399
they should have been opened like between 10

00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:06.300
to 14 days old. so i don't know if they were

00:06:06.300 --> 00:06:10.319
just premature or what but they are or they look

00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:12.439
i guess they they're not technically but they

00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:18.250
look very very behind for their age. The P mom

00:06:18.250 --> 00:06:20.709
and her seven P pups are also from the Alabama

00:06:20.709 --> 00:06:24.569
shelter. Her puppies were born two days Before

00:06:24.569 --> 00:06:27.930
the L litter and she is way smaller than the

00:06:27.930 --> 00:06:30.870
L mom So that should tell you just how far behind

00:06:30.870 --> 00:06:35.389
those L pups are Anyways, the P -Mom was surrendered

00:06:35.389 --> 00:06:37.509
to them as a stray, but they're actually like,

00:06:37.529 --> 00:06:43.550
she said, we're 98%. They're 98 % sure that they

00:06:43.550 --> 00:06:45.310
were the owners who surrendered her and they

00:06:45.310 --> 00:06:47.449
just didn't want to tell them. I guess they thought

00:06:47.449 --> 00:06:50.870
they wouldn't take them if she was being surrendered

00:06:50.870 --> 00:06:53.670
by the owners, but they think they were surrounding

00:06:53.670 --> 00:06:55.910
her because she got pregnant, but they think

00:06:55.910 --> 00:06:58.649
that because they accidentally called her by

00:06:58.649 --> 00:07:02.620
her name when they were surrendering her. As

00:07:02.620 --> 00:07:05.720
for the cats, Gemini was found at the city park

00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:08.060
about six weeks ago. The family took him home

00:07:08.060 --> 00:07:10.139
and have been waiting for a spot on transport

00:07:10.139 --> 00:07:13.139
since then. Their older cats are not enjoying

00:07:13.139 --> 00:07:15.459
having a quickly growing kitten in their house

00:07:15.459 --> 00:07:19.319
so they're very glad to see him go. Delphinius

00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:21.720
was a stray that someone turned into our Alabama

00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:24.259
shelter friends and oh my gosh I love this cat

00:07:24.259 --> 00:07:27.509
so much. He was actually supposed to go... I

00:07:27.509 --> 00:07:30.230
I know for sure last transport maybe even the

00:07:30.230 --> 00:07:32.790
transport before that and like we never Could

00:07:32.790 --> 00:07:34.689
get a foster of him. We didn't even have a foster

00:07:34.689 --> 00:07:37.149
for him this round I had to Melissa posted him

00:07:37.149 --> 00:07:39.250
and then I had to post him and be like, please

00:07:39.250 --> 00:07:42.430
please can someone Foster this cat. I love him

00:07:42.430 --> 00:07:44.649
so much. I think people really do think that

00:07:44.649 --> 00:07:48.829
he's Mean and gonna murder you but he's the sweetest

00:07:48.829 --> 00:07:53.620
cat I don't even know how to say these names.

00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:55.180
I'm the one who picked these names. I don't even

00:07:55.180 --> 00:07:57.459
know how to say them. Rana and Boots? That's

00:07:57.459 --> 00:07:58.920
what it looks like. That's what we're gonna go

00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:02.259
with. But if you are a stars expert, please tell

00:08:02.259 --> 00:08:05.910
me how to correctly pronounce it. They are the

00:08:05.910 --> 00:08:07.930
kittens that I held back from last week's transport,

00:08:08.170 --> 00:08:09.990
so make sure you listen to that episode to get

00:08:09.990 --> 00:08:12.129
their full story, but they were both just from

00:08:12.129 --> 00:08:14.610
our Alabama shelter friends. They've been staying

00:08:14.610 --> 00:08:17.569
with me for the last week because they were fairly

00:08:17.569 --> 00:08:19.629
sick last week when they showed up to transport,

00:08:19.689 --> 00:08:23.589
but man, oh man, I cannot believe how obsessed

00:08:23.589 --> 00:08:30.170
my child was with them. It was bizarre. She is

00:08:30.170 --> 00:08:34.019
so in love with these kittens. So she has not

00:08:34.019 --> 00:08:37.259
seen her dad all day today for the first time

00:08:37.259 --> 00:08:41.460
ever in her life. She's never gone a whole day

00:08:41.460 --> 00:08:44.559
without seeing her dad. We got home from transport

00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:47.340
the transport that we just sent her kitty kitties

00:08:47.340 --> 00:08:52.919
on and she asked no less than 50 times where

00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:56.620
kitty kitties? Go see kitty -kitties? What kitty

00:08:56.620 --> 00:08:59.120
-kitties doing? And then she would go to the

00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:01.139
bathroom door where they, where we were keeping

00:09:01.139 --> 00:09:04.259
them and she would go knock knock, knock knock

00:09:04.259 --> 00:09:06.860
kitty -kitties all within like three hours from

00:09:06.860 --> 00:09:09.639
the time we got home without them to the time

00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:11.940
she went to bed. She was so obsessed with these

00:09:11.940 --> 00:09:14.980
kittens. Meanwhile, she did not so much even

00:09:14.980 --> 00:09:18.379
utter the word Dada all day today and they are

00:09:18.379 --> 00:09:20.620
like attached at the hip. Usually she's obsessed

00:09:20.620 --> 00:09:25.259
with her dad. So... She like only cared that

00:09:25.259 --> 00:09:27.000
her kittens were gone. She didn't even care that

00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:30.299
her dad was gone. So We're probably gonna end

00:09:30.299 --> 00:09:33.940
up getting a kitten Someday someday someday very

00:09:33.940 --> 00:09:37.279
far down the road because she's so obsessed with

00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:40.139
cats But I'm already annoyed about having to

00:09:40.139 --> 00:09:42.360
get a cat because in my defense, I'm allergic

00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:45.960
to cats so And I have really bad asthma. So it's

00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:47.960
gonna be terrible for me. But oh my goodness.

00:09:48.220 --> 00:09:53.240
She loves kittens that is all the stories for

00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:56.139
this week. We only have one more transport left

00:09:56.139 --> 00:09:59.000
for the whole year and they've already told me

00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:01.059
that I can't send any kittens on it because we

00:10:01.059 --> 00:10:04.220
have so many cats and kittens in our system right

00:10:04.220 --> 00:10:06.399
now. Not because we don't have fosters, so don't

00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:09.139
be like, oh I'll come and foster because we have

00:10:09.139 --> 00:10:11.139
so many people willing to foster, which is so

00:10:11.139 --> 00:10:14.379
wonderful. But we have so many in our system

00:10:14.379 --> 00:10:17.039
that are not getting adopted that we cannot,

00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:19.340
we don't have the means to bring in anymore.

00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:23.149
So please Please, please, please share my adoption

00:10:23.149 --> 00:10:26.409
posts about them. Tell your friends, tell your

00:10:26.409 --> 00:10:28.970
family, tell strangers, tell anyone you see.

00:10:29.409 --> 00:10:32.870
Please go adopt a cat from us at our next adoption

00:10:32.870 --> 00:10:36.490
event so that I can send some kittens at the

00:10:36.490 --> 00:10:38.929
end of the month because I seriously, literally,

00:10:38.990 --> 00:10:41.090
I don't know what we're going to do if we don't

00:10:41.090 --> 00:10:43.090
get to send any more for the rest of the year.

00:10:43.470 --> 00:10:48.899
So please help us get some adopted, please. It's

00:10:48.899 --> 00:10:51.120
a ruff life, but someone's gotta do it.
