You guys just asking me that, like just random. You
gotta be like, hey, Trevor, so I read in your

(00:23):
book and the you cause just be like house foufie
because in my mind we knew who the hell no,
because because Fruffie died, so for those of them. So,
I had a I had a dog when I was
growing up. Like one of the dogs we had we um.
My mom was working at a at a pharmaceutical company
and her colleague came came to work when I was like, hey,

(00:45):
my neighbor's dog um impregnated my dogs. And I have
all these puppies I don't want and they're like this
weird mix of like a Bulteria and a Maltese poodle.
So do you want to take them? And I'm I
was like, all right, I'll take two. And then my
mom brought them home and I never had a before,
and I was like, this is the most amazing thing
in the world. And we raised them and it was
two beautiful dogs. They look completely different, but they were sisters.
They were the best Fuffie and Panther, and my mom

(01:07):
called the one panther because she had a pink nose
or the pink panther and then uh, and Fuffi was
like the dumbest, most beautiful dog ever and Panther was
the smartest, ugliest dog you've ever seen, and so like,
like I love Foufie the most because she just like
looked really vicious, and I used to think that Fufi
was really stupid. And then one day what happened was um,

(01:30):
like at our house, somebody was trying to like come
into the house, like like a family friend, and they
were trying to open the gate, and then they moved
the gate and then the gate fell, and then Panther
ran away because she they liked sleep by the gate.
And then Panther ram but then Fufi didn't and then
the gate hit her and then like it broke her
spine was devastating. So then we went to the vet

(01:51):
and then like the vet was like I can't help her,
you know, we gotta put it down, put out of
a misery. And the vet was like, but this was amazing.
How were you guys, Like, how did you guys raise
a deaf dog, and we were like what and he
was like like, what do you mean a deaf dog?
And he was like oh, Like afterwards, like I just
when I was just going through examining her or she
still like living, I realized that she wasn't born with

(02:12):
I guess a certain part of the Cockley or something
is when we're like, wait, this dog was deaf the
whole time, and we just genuinely and literally just be
like Foufie set listen to me, sick Frufie. And I
was like, yea so dumb, Ye're so dumb. And I
never knew that the dog. And then we realized what
used to happen was when we'd call the dogs, we'd

(02:33):
be like Frufie Panther, and Fuffie would never come, but
Panther would come running sometimes and then she'd like look
at you and then she'd run back, and then they
would both come. And I always used to be like,
Frufie's just dumb, And then I realized Panther was like, oh,
she didn't hear, and then she'd go back and fetch
her and then she then both of them would come,
and then like now I went back and whatever, like Missy.
