Speaker 1 (00:01):
Put your hands together, and we're going to stop and party.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
I'm ready to party.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
The Elvister Ran after Party.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Hello, Hello. Put the logo anymore.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
It doesn't work the time.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
It doesn't work well. The only time I like the
logo when I couldn't remember the name of the podcast
after party podcast, I don't know. I'm walking through a
mall and you go by the pet store. A lot
of them are gone, Yeah, but there are still a
lot of pet stores in malls. Yeah, and you see,
(00:43):
you know, you have to stop and look in there
because there's always something cute in the window. Yeah, it's
good to look.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
But I think you shouldn't like play with the dog
or touch the dog unless you're really going.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
To adopt the dog.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Why do you say that, because the other day I
saw a mom let her kid play with the puppy
and the kid was like, oh, Mom, I want the puppy,
and mom said, no, we only came in here to
play with the puppy. That's like child abuse.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
Child abuse.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Never an intention of bringing a puppy home. They're not
investigating how the kid is with a puppy.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
It sounded to me like they were bored at home
and they came to the store to play with the puppies,
and no one was getting a puppy.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
That's and they should pay a rental fee.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Seriously, And a lot of times they don't want you
to do that either. They don't want you to take
the dog out and bother the dog and get all
lovey with the dog.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
If they don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
There's been places that I've been before that said, if
you're not serious, please don't ask. Yep, there's been signs.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Please. My parents used to do that with me all
the time.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
What do you mean.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
My dad used to take me to the pet stores
all the time to play with the animals because he
knew I wanted to and he didn't want them in
the house all the time.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
So never ever intending to get you a puppy.
Speaker 6 (01:55):
Never.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Oh, I never had a dog until I was an adult.
I got a dog as an adult. He was allergic
to them. I was allergic to cats, but he knew
I loved them, so he was like, let's go all right,
we're gonna get your little fixed and then we're gonna
go home. I would walk out with something sometimes like
a hamster or a bird every now and then, but
no We used to just take me to play with
them and then get out.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
It's kind of like cheld abooz.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
I'm thinking, you're a parent. You're a parent too, Frog.
You can answer to this.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
Well, I grew up the same way as Gandhi. That's
why I think my dad and Gandhi's dad have to
be cut from some of the same flock. Because I
remember my dad taking me to Terrytown Mall to this
little pet store and they had a Cocker Spaniels and
I cried every time because I wanted this one little dog.
I never got him.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
He cried.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
That's what he did. On Saturdays. He would go up,
you want a dog, We'll go see your dog at
the mall. He would say, they're going to keep your dog,
and we'll come back and see you next week. And
then we went back one week and he was gone.
So I never got that dog abuse.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
I would never have done that. I would have felt
so bad ripping my kids away and saying you can't
have that puppy after they were like playing with it
for so long, Like, so you my kids are soft.
I feel like you, No, you don't have kids, so
you don't know. But I see that my dad.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
My dad told me on the way to the mall,
you're not getting this dog. We're just gonna go visit
him and they'll keep him and feed him and we'll
come back.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
The problem is you're gonna connect with that dog no
matter what. Yeah, that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
And I feel like it's kind of saying nanny, nanny
poo pooh, you know, like dangling get in your face
and then taking it away. It's like it's mean, it's
just mean.
Speaker 7 (03:27):
No.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
So okay, kid, you got thirty minutes for the dog. Yeah,
you can have a dog for thirty minutes. That's your dog. See, Okay,
I can see how a store manager would not like.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
They don't like that. There are have been places where
I've been that there were signs that said, if you're
not serious, please don't ask to play with the dogs.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
So you're allergy to dogs, you have nothing to say here.
Speaker 7 (03:49):
Well I do have something to say because growing up,
we had Heartland Pets in the your Eary Milk Creek mall.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
And so we weren't allowed to have a dog because
I was allergic. So what would we do?
Speaker 7 (04:00):
My mom and my grandma would take us to Heartland
Pets so my brothers could look at the puppies and
guess who had an allergy in asthma every single time?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Did they know they were not going home with the dog?
Speaker 7 (04:13):
Yes, they knew because they were going to the mall
for a puppy playing session. Correct to look at the
dogs because they they actually want They asked my mom
if they could trade me in for a puppy bus
that would have been a great deal for that. Then
it's me and my grandma sitting at the McDonald's play
place with her giving me my inhaler while they're looking
at the dogs.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
Can we all around here?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Can we trade you in for a schnauserdn't want.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Any dog to ask you this though, So I knew
we were never gonna have a dog because my dad
had such a dog allergy like you, we were never
gonna get a dog. So should I have never been
able to play with a dog because my dad wasn't
able to have one in the.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
House when you went home, did you have to shower?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Yeah, because that's what happens in my sister.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Even in the car, he would be sneezing and me
just in the car my sister's house.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
If they come to my house with the cats. My
other was so allergic they have to change their clothes
and shower before they go in the house.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
So I feel like he was doing something nice by
being like, you want to play with a dog, let's
go play with your dog. But we're not bringing this.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
You don't feel like it was abuse it.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
I don't feel like it was abusive. There were other
things they did that were.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Abusive, that you guys have real allergies. Though.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
My mom straight up lied to my sister and I.
She would take us to the pets store, we get
to play with the pets, and then she'd be like,
don't forget, I have analogy, so we can't go home
with them. I found out years later after she died
that she was never allergic to cats or dogs.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
She said, so you wouldn't beg for a dog, That's right.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
I think a lot of parents do that with a
lot of things.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
It was trickery. It was they don't do things that.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
Why is this any different than when my dad used
to take me to Toys r Us and let me
play with the Sega systems, But then we were never
getting one right. We got to go to Toys r
Us to play video games. We could never have them
in the house.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
I'm with you, same thing.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
I just feel like, if you go there and you
play with this live puppy and you fall in love
with it, you can't take it.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
I just take my goals to play with the dogs
all the time. They knew that we weren't getting one,
and they just like to go see him.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Just because you really want something doesn't mean you're gonna get.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
That, That's right.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
It's just I feel like with a live thing, like
a puppet, like a toy with you, you're not getting
every toy you see kid like you're going in and playing.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
With a live animal.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
There's an emotional attachment atchment.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
I bet.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
I bet. Scotty got attached to the game systems.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I did. I did.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
I had to be eighteen and move out of the
house before I bought myself one anything with a dog.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
They never let me have a dog.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
I had.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
I had to move out to get a dog.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
My sister and I, as soon as we were living
together as adults, were like, we're getting a dog.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Let's get the dog.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
I got my ear piercing, got a dog in a
video game system.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
That's all I used to never let like shooting games
in the house, like on any system. I'd be like,
no gowns, no whatever. They would go to their friends
houses and then and I'd be like, would you play nothing.
They knew that was.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Yeah, well there you go. So in the opinion of Danielle,
I don't think it's mean taking your dogs, taking your
kids to meet the dogs with them, all is abuse
if they're not intending. On Ganne, the
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Elvis Terran after party,
Put your hands together, and we're going to stop and party.
