Speaker 1 (00:00):
Courtney and Lauren back with the Downward Dogs podcast. Yes,
we're back, we are Whooh my gosh, it's been a
long week without you. I don't know why, it's just
one of those weeks.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Lauren comes over so we can do the podcast and
talk about dogs, but then when she's not here, I'm like,
I actually feel healthy and smart.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Well that's just me here, cheers. I can't wait to
talk about today's episode. Boom. It's all about doggy birthdays.
This is a cheers to Charlie m M my little
Charleston MCCHEWM. And Charlie is eleven. Charlie is ten.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Charlie is ten anyway, So over the years we've thrown
birthday parties and it's funny because every time one of
our dogs and I only have one, but she's got
like ten. But every time we have a birthday party,
there's only two people that show up and it's me
and Lauren.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Well, my mom comes, but she just comes at a
different time.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Yeah, your mom likes to show up at these doggy
birthday parties early before anybody else and get her love
in and then she's out and it's me and you
drinking with your ten dogs and my one dog and
we have birthday cake and the whole deal. But we
are celebrating Charlie's tenth birthday.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
How did it go?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Like?
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Because I know your mom showed she showed up with
a crack of crack crack. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
So, my mother, being the best for grandmother on the planet,
loves to shower the dogs with treats and love and
everything and anything she can. So she always goes and
gets from either Leaps and Bones.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Hello, lady that Leaps and Bones.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
And by the way, we have no sponsors, so what's that.
Anybody want to sponsor us?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yeah? Who?
Speaker 3 (01:54):
By the way, Leaps and Bones is amazing and they
do a great job with their treats and they're just
so they're such wonderful people.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
So my mom will go and get a.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Cake from them and she'll bring it over and every
year I tell her, I appreciate the cake, but we
got it. You know, go slow with it because the
dogs go nuts because the food and the cakes.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
And the treats that Leaps and Bones are so good,
they just go nuts.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
And your mother leaves and the dogs of diarrhea, and
then she calls me because I'm the diet dog diarrhea queen.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
You are you are?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
So my mom comes rolling into the house and she's
got the cake, and I'm like, okay, Mom, just remember
we can't just put it down for Charlie because Gracie
and Allie are gonna want it to So.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
What do you think my mom did? Puts it down?
She put it right down.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Linda Lou, you're in trouble once again. She's in trouble
every podcast. But okay, so she put you tell her,
don't put it down. So Linda Lou comes in all
like Mary Poppins with her cake. She puts it down. Yeah,
and it happens.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
It's like an mma fight.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
I'm trying to get the cake out from the center
of these three tiny Tasmanian devils.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
And then so I finally was able.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
To get the cake away from them without being bitten,
which is unusual because usually they bite me.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
And when dogs are fighting, you should never stick your
hand in the mix anyway.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
But okay, I know, but it was an fight. I know,
like they're little. You could just they're either gonna kill
each other. He could give them a little no no.
And then everyone's like just put the cake back down.
I'm like, I'm not putting the cake back down. We're
gonna cut it up and we're gonna give.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Them a little bits and pieces because you didn't do
it the right way. Okay, So once again, whose fault
is it?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Linda Lou? Linda Lou's fault.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
She has to she just no matter what I tell her,
no matter what I say.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Listen, can we do something with your mother Linda, like
have a jar and every time she does something Linda lewish.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
She has to put money in it? Yes? Okay, because last.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Week Ollie pede in the house because your mother called
you early.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
And the week before that was that the week that
she let him get out of the house.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
I'm sure she let one of them escape. So she's
always doing something. So for dog and the dog bite,
the dog bite on.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
My arm was her as well, so the dog's birthday parties.
So you're big on the cakes and the treats and
like like spending time with them.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Yes, okay, you bring over I have hat. I know
you did that hat. We did. We have hats and
you did the I will tell you the bark shootery,
cork shootery. That's what. It's bark shootery board.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
And that's a big thing right now. So like a
charcouterie board for people where it's like sheese and crackers.
You get a giant board and you put all your
dog's favorite treats and bacon and snacks on. Of course
Jack can't eat anything, so I was limited. This year
Jack has a grain or rice on it.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Inxact Green.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
No.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
I think we went to for Jack's birthday last year.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
We because he was turning ten. Last year, we went
to Leaps and Bones and I got tons of stuff
for a bark shootery board and I made him sit
in front of it and.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
I told him it was just a photo shoot. Don't
touch it, don't eat any of it. I don't need
your ask to explode. No you do not.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
But anyway, I love a bark shoot bark shootery board.
And then one year I had a birthday party for
Jack and you came over with your tupups at the time,
which she was just Charlie and Gracie, and I did
little gift bags for all the dogs, like a dog bag,
you know, like you at a restaurant and you take
home a doggie bag. Everybody got to go home with
a doggie bag.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yeah, I don't know. It's fun. It's fun throw your
dog a party. I think you should. So, if you
think about it.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Most people only have their dogs with them for averaging
about fifteen years. Again, that's guesstimate. Don't quote me on it,
don't google me. I'm I'm guessing she.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Is wishful thinking fifteen.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
But okay, so why not celebrate them at every time?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Like you shouldn't just be like.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Oh, they've been with me for a year, yay, No,
it should be every single year.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
I do have friends, and I know it's shocking that
I have more friends than you. It's jerk, and that
you have other friends aside from me. But my friends
they have no idea when their dogs, Like.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I don't know when my dog's birthday? How do you
not know? How do you, as a paw parent, not
know when your dog's birthday is? I find that to
be strange.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I not only know when my dog's birthdays are, you
know they're signed. I know their rebirthdays the day that
I brought them home. Okay, yeah, so I celebrate that too.
I love that.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
And then it's like freaks.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Me out, Like I have friends and I'm like, you know,
Jack can't eat anything. What do you feed your dog?
They're like, I don't know, it's just this blue bag.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
It like stop and shop. Like have you not know
you even feed your dog? Do you not know what
you feed your dog?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
No?
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I know what I feed my dog. No, I know
my dog's mad. I do I do. I think there's
levels of pet parenting and we are epic yet parents.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
They're like, we're like the crazy pet parents. But I
do know somebody that I unfortunately knew. Okay had rescued,
rescued with no dog experience, a pit.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
So wait, so then she had because she has.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
No experience with the dog, does not bring a trainer in,
does not know this dog's history background because it's a rescue,
I don't know what you're getting.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
The pit got aggressive, oh okay, and she got rid
of it.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Okay, so that you know. So that's that kind of
pet parent. And then she got another dog. And I
am not friends with this person. I just have to
say that disclaimer. And she decided that she wanted to
get a therapy dog.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
All right, a therapy one that was already certified, or
she wanted a dog she could train to be a
therapy dog, but yet she couldn't figure out her pit correct.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Okay, that's that makes sense, perfect sense.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
And I was like talking to her about my dogs
who sleep in my bed go on the furniture, like
Ali is literally climbing the patio furniture.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
He's on the table, not in the house, in the patio. Yes.
And I'm like, oh, yeah, my dog's sleep with me.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
She's like, oh no, my dog will never sleep with me.
He's not a lot on the furniture. He's gonna be
a therapy dog. So I would guess that she doesn't
know her dog's birthday.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
But I will tell you, with a therapy dog, she
might be onto something if she's done a research because
they cannot jump on anything, they cannot get on furniture.
My dog is, who's not a therapy dog, spent a
lot of time in a cancer a cancer ward in
Hartford Hospital.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yeah, And the only reason I brought him in there
and they allowed.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Me to is because literally the dog is a genius
and he knows when somebody's not feeling well.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Look at her, she's rise. He's actually a smart dog.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
But I can only imagine if he were the type
of dog that would jump on the furniture, jump on
the bed where somebody's sick or they're in hospice, or
somebody's in a wheelchair.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
So I kind of get it.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
I don't know because I haven't looked into it, but
therapy dogs should not be jumping on anything.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Okay, but it wasn't that type of therapy dog. What
kind of therapy was she doing working with children? Okay,
we can't jump on child.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
I'm not saying that the dogs should be jumping on children, geez.
What I'm saying is you also have to look at
a dog and be like, it's a dog, right, And
so what's like if you want a therapy dog and
that's all you like.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I know plenty of people have therapy dogs and they're
still a part of the family. And they're still a
part of the family.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
My dog's still a part of the family. He jumps
on my bed, on my couch. I just know him
as a really good dog. And if I tell him no,
don't get on that or jump on that correct elderly
person in a wheelchair, he's not going to do it right.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
And and this is and again, I love therapy dogs.
I think my Gracie could a therapy dog because she
is just so snuggly and loving and sweet she is.
She's a little lap dog. I totally get it. But
if you have a dog that you rescued that you
couldn't manage, and you couldn't manage their behavior.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
It's all this bitch right now? What's your number? Let
me call it? No, I would, and I'd be like, girl,
what you doing? Why are you getting a therapy dog?
Get a hamster, Get a fish tank. You're better off
with a fish tank. And it was very self serving, because.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Yeah, I hold a little I can't with self serving people.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
It was a self serving situation. And I feel bad
for the dog because of the big like snuggling that
I can't do that now. And the dog is not
listening because they don't know how to train their dogs,
and I think you have to learn how to train
your dogs.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
But I digress. We were talking about birthdays.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Yeah, do you Is there anything else you want to
talk about dog birthdays? I don't know, like a dog like,
what's dog years? Is dog years ten years to every
human year?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Well they used to say it was seven to every
but I think that they've downgraded that how I.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Want to know how old my If my dog's ten,
how old is he in human years? Seventy?
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Oh, so he's still kind of young. Yeah, all right,
he's just starting that hole. My hip might hurt, my
back might her kind of like his mom.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
But he's small. Thanks. My hip doesn't hurt. My back
doesn't hurt. Not yet. Didn't you just say that you
booked a massage because your back was I did.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
It was more of my shoulders from carrying your ass around.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
She's not carrying me anywhere. Don't listen to this one.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
If it came down to an MMA fight between she and.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
I, I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
I am so scrappy and really freakishly strong.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I think Lauren would start to cry, and then I'd
be you cry every day.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I don't cry every time you cry, Laura.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
I would be so hurt if I if I hit
her like in the she'd be like, oh that's so aggressive,
that is so aggressive, and then I think you would
have you would cry.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I would black out.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
I'm just like, no, I'm saying I would black out.
I would if I was fighting somebody, I feel like
I would black out.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
How many? How many fights. Have you ever been in zero?
So that pretty much tells you that that's true. That's true.
Else can we get back to birthdays? Birthday? Going off
the rails.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
I've got nothing else to say except for Charlie's birthday. Yes,
so fabulous.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
It was.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
It's always fabulous. I'm so excited that he's got another
year with me.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
He's such a joy.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
The other day last weekend, a friend of mine came
over and it was the first time, it's a new friendship,
and it was the first time that she met the dogs.
And oh my goodness, she was so good with that. Okay,
but aside from her, and she's gonna give you a
run for your money because she wants Charlie.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
But aside from her, how are the dogs with her?
You know what I mean, because like, you gotta be
a person to be so great with dogs. But did
the dogs all like respond good?
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Charlie and Allie respond and did wonderfully to her. Ali
was like.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Again, we go back to Ali, like, it's only me
he bites and it's only me that he gives a
hard time to. Gracie was a little apprehensive, which was
unlike Gracie, that's not her norm.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Yeah, And I always judge a person's character by how
my dog reacts to them, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Like he's barked at. Oh.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
He The only person my dog is barked at is
somebody you dated in the past.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Oh. I am not gonna say his name. Please don't.
Do you know what I'm talking about?
Speaker 1 (13:31):
I think I do, somebody I know. But anyway, my
dog doesn't bark. He growled and barked, and I thought, okay,
well maybe he just that's odd. So I brought this
person in that you briefly dated by the way.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
She set me up with. I did after her dog
barked at him. No, she's like, Lauren, he's perfect for you.
It was after You're right, I'm sorry about that. He
turned out not to be right for you. He turned
out to not be right for anybody. No.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
No, but see, that's what I'm saying, Like, my dog
does not growl or bark at anyone unless somebody's you know,
near normal, like somebody's walking in the neighborhood, you know,
by on your lawn. But this person was just at work,
and I had my dog at work with me, and
there's hundreds of people I worked.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
With a law. I was thinking about somebody else. How
many people have you dated that?
Speaker 1 (14:18):
My dog isn't light well mouth at mouth a mouth
and mouthed go like that in mouth the words.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Who's that? I don't know that?
Speaker 3 (14:28):
What?
Speaker 2 (14:29):
No, who's now? I know what you're talking about? The
work with I know, well now I hear in mouth
his first name. So yes, yes, the first guy, No,
I have no idea about that.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
But she has no idea yet. She set me up
with him. I did, but I thought you didn't have Jackson.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
I thought that, and I thought he was a great
guy with a good job, good business, and good money.
I did not know him like I knew the second guy.
The second guy shouldn't have set you up.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
And there's my best friends anyway, this second guy, I
should have known better because my dog doesn't growl or
bark at anybody.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
He growled and barked at this guy. Was all the
guy was.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Doing is walking down the hallway, and jack went ballistic,
and I thought, oh, that was weird. A couple of
my coworkers were like, that was weird. So the next
time I brought the dog in, he did the same
thing with this one person.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
So then my best friend Courtney said, Hey, I think
you'd be a great match with this guy.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Dogs seem to really love him. So meanwhile, I have
two dogs. Didn't know any of this.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Meanwhile, this guy spends a lot of time at your house,
so how did the dogs.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Respond to him.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
I'm just curious because my dog did not respond to
him well at all. It's the only person my dog's
almost eleven, that he's ever barked or growled at.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
I mean, yours, we're fine. When they were fine, but
they didn't really pay much attention to him either. I mean,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
I'm just saying I think dogs know energy and vibes
from people.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Can let the get up.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
If your dog, Ladies, is growling at a dude or
a guy you're on a date with, get rid of them.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Yeah you can't.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
You can't be involved with men who don't like your
dog or women who don't. I think about that fresh
pet commercial where they're like, you have dog food and
the refrigerator, and then they boot the person out because
they're like it's fresh pat.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, that's what you have to do. Okay,
would you.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Good question Lauren? Your three fur babies you meet the quote,
Well he couldn't be the man of your dreams, but
let's just say the man of your dreams.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
But your dogs don't like him too bad? Bye, dogs
are the man the man? Okay, I do dogs. Can't
rup my babies for that. I would never give up
my dog for that. No, no, it's not worth it.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Not.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
I dated guy once and he told me he had allergies.
Remember that guy? Oh I had that guy that had
allergies too. Yeah, like, don't give me that crap. Take
a pill.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Yeah, Like, you just don't like dogs, right, don't tell
me of allergies, right, you can't come in your house. Well,
then don't go to somebody else's house. Get rid of him, like,
never invited him one day. Tell me you have dog allergies.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
You're out. I'm sorry, take a pill.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
I think that a lot of times that's an excuse
because when you're initially meeting someone and you're getting to
know them, whether it's in person, on a dating app, wherever,
you're getting to know that person.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
If you have dogs, that's what you lead with.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
You're like, and I have three dogs, and I have
a dog, and I love my dog, and we go
walking and we go for hikes and blah blah.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
So you lead with that.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
So if this person has a quote unquote allergy man
or woman, then that conversation ends right then and there
and that person be like, I'm allergic.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
I can't bear which great? Bye, do me a favor.
Can you grab your cell phone? Jackson? Come here, Come
and give me kisses. Come and give me a kiss?
What you need for my cell phone?
Speaker 1 (17:45):
I would like you to look up dating sites for
dog lovers, because I feel like we should go on
a site and get ourselves some boyfriends.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
All right, let's see what I can find day sites.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Listen, I'm old, I type slow.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Yeah, I'm just like I want to date somebody. Well, I,
first of all would like to date a veterinarian because
my VET bills are out of control.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
So if I dated a.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Guy that was a veterinarian, I think it would be
a benefit for me.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
An Jackson, So if you're a veterinarian and you're looking,
so there is there is date my pet? Dig Well,
I don't want that.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
What does that mean date my pet? Is that like
they're dating our pets? Or is that that is a
dating site?
Speaker 3 (18:31):
The leading dating website exclusively for pet lovers.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Oh, okay, fetch a date. Okay, there are some tin
dog oh my god.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Animal people personals, oh my god, dog one singles Okay,
must love pets, Yes, that's probably the one for us
palmates Okay, and then the dating app for pet parents.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Okay. This is what we need to do, Lauren.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
We need to dedicate a full podcast to picking one
of these sites.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
And signing up for it. Let's do it. Do you
know how many women around here watching us? They're like,
why do you always go to the women with their
fur babies?
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Because I just I think guys are watching too, But
I think there's a lot of women that are like,
I'd rather listen. I would rather stay home with my
dog any day than go anywhere. I'm not going to
meet anybody sitting at home with my dog.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
I have all do it together.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
I have a friend of mine who I've known for
many many years, went to high school together, and he's
got a dog.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
And he is a complete dog daddy, Like he would
rather stay home with his dog. So I think we
need to not isolate men in this.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
We're not isolating. We're all signing up together.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Guys.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
You can sign up as well if you want. But
I'm just saying we should just do this. We I
think we need to dedicate one podcast to picking at
least one dating site for single dog lovers, male or female. Okay,
we need to sign up and then we will give
you updates on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
How it's going. I think we should just try it.
I think we should give it a shot.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
We'll pick one of the You don't think they're dopes
on find My Furry Best Friend Finder.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Don't. They're all gonna be We're all gonna be dopes.
It's gonna be perfect. I will.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
It's a website for people that like animals. I think
it's gonna be fine. I think you probably will translate.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Better think I do.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
I think you're gonna translate even better because you're such
a good dog mom and you love animals, and you're
and somebody who's looking for the same thing as you.
When we're on the regular dating sites, we don't know
what they like or anything.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
At least you know they like dogs if you're on
a dog site, unless they.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Just like women or men who have dogs because they figure, well,
they're super this and super that and have all these
preconceived notions about people with dogs.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
That's true. I mean, who knows, it was just a thought. No,
I'm totally down for it. Down for dogs, down for dating.
Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
I think it would be funny and fun and then
we could just delete the app. We'll put it on
one of our phones. We'll just we'll go in as
one person, okay, and then we'll.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Just delete it. Weren't either, I know, but you're.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
So.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
I think we should do it and it would be funny.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Can I ask everybody out in the world that's watching
this to please comment on how we went from Charlie's
birthday birthday to Lauren getting on a dating app.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
You know what, because because we were talking about dogs
liking people and my dog didn't like that last guy
you dated. You know what, I think we need to
bring my dog in to vet everybody. I think any
guy we go on a date with, they have to
meet Jack first, and if he.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Growls at him, they're out.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
He's never growled at anybody, and he growled on that
guy and he turned out to be a wacko.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
And right he growled at him twice. And you're lie, Lauren,
this is the perfect guy for you.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
I think you were already seeing him. I do.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
I don't know why he would growl at him. It
was very strange. Maybe he was jealous. I don't know it.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
It was weird. It was weird. But listen, let your
dog pick your date. That's what I say. So Jack's
eleventh birthday is coming up July third, and I know
we've got an episode that our next episode is going
to be all about fireworks and keeping your dog calm.
I know, Lauren, you've got are all three afraid of fireworks.
Ali is not afraid of fireworks. However, I feel like
(22:22):
the longer he's around Gracie and Charlie and they're.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Showing up on he's going to pick up on that. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Ye, Gracie and Charlie are terrified. I hate I hate fireworks.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
I know, I understand. Oh yay, lights in the sky.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Meanwhile, it's coming up, though it's like a week away.
You're gonna have to like prepare. So we're gonna do
a special podcast where we can give you tips and tricks.
I've got some tips and tricks only because I did
have a dog back in the day, a great day,
and that was afraid of fireworks. And Laura was over
once and we found him in the bathroom, like literally
in the bathtub, drooling. He was so my current dog
(23:01):
is not afraid, so I don't I'm not worried about it,
but I know your dogs are. And we've tried a
million things together and discussed stuff. So our next podcast
all about keeping your dog calm. And I've got a
great tip for you. Oh my god, I've got a
tip for Lauren. And she's not tried this before. I
do not believe.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
So now I'm gonna have to wait another week to
find out how to keep my dogs calm during my god,
just got a thunder, it starts raining and they're cowering.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
I'm gonna make Lauren wait like everybody else, and I'll
give you the tip that I just discovered. I don't
know if it works or not. I haven't tried it,
but it's worth a shot. If your dog is afraid
of fireworks.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Yeah, And I think that's a great topic to have,
is about fireworks easy you do too.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
I think there's a lot of dogs out there that
are get very, very anxious. They almost know when it's
coming as it gets dark, and even that anticipation sometimes
starts their anxiety even if there isn't thunder or isn't fireworks, So.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
It doesn't even have to be fireworks. It could be
a thunder and lightning storm too. It's all like, I
feel like thunder and lightning and fireworks. They're kind of
the same if you've got a dog afraid a loud noises.
So I'm sure all of the tips and tricks could
be for thunderstorms too, So we'll look those up, we'll
figure them out.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
We're gonna go back to celebrating Charlie's birthday. Yea, birthdays.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
I don't know why we don't have birthday hats on
and birthday cakes.

one of those weeks.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Lauren comes over so we can do the podcast and
talk about dogs, but then when she's not here, I'm like,
I actually feel healthy and smart.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Well that's just me here, cheers. I can't wait to
talk about today's episode. Boom. It's all about doggy birthdays.
This is a cheers to Charlie m M my little
Charleston MCCHEWM. And Charlie is eleven. Charlie is ten.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Charlie is ten anyway, So over the years we've thrown
birthday parties and it's funny because every time one of
our dogs and I only have one, but she's got
like ten. But every time we have a birthday party,
there's only two people that show up and it's me
and Lauren.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Well, my mom comes, but she just comes at a
different time.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Yeah, your mom likes to show up at these doggy
birthday parties early before anybody else and get her love
in and then she's out and it's me and you
drinking with your ten dogs and my one dog and
we have birthday cake and the whole deal. But we
are celebrating Charlie's tenth birthday.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
How did it go?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Like?
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Because I know your mom showed she showed up with
a crack of crack crack. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
So, my mother, being the best for grandmother on the planet,
loves to shower the dogs with treats and love and
everything and anything she can. So she always goes and
gets from either Leaps and Bones.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Hello, lady that Leaps and Bones.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
And by the way, we have no sponsors, so what's that.
Anybody want to sponsor us?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yeah? Who?
Speaker 3 (01:54):
By the way, Leaps and Bones is amazing and they
do a great job with their treats and they're just
so they're such wonderful people.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
So my mom will go and get a.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Cake from them and she'll bring it over and every
year I tell her, I appreciate the cake, but we
got it. You know, go slow with it because the
dogs go nuts because the food and the cakes.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
And the treats that Leaps and Bones are so good,
they just go nuts.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
And your mother leaves and the dogs of diarrhea, and
then she calls me because I'm the diet dog diarrhea queen.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
You are you are?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
So my mom comes rolling into the house and she's
got the cake, and I'm like, okay, Mom, just remember
we can't just put it down for Charlie because Gracie
and Allie are gonna want it to So.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
What do you think my mom did? Puts it down?
She put it right down.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Linda Lou, you're in trouble once again. She's in trouble
every podcast. But okay, so she put you tell her,
don't put it down. So Linda Lou comes in all
like Mary Poppins with her cake. She puts it down. Yeah,
and it happens.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
It's like an mma fight.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
I'm trying to get the cake out from the center
of these three tiny Tasmanian devils.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
And then so I finally was able.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
To get the cake away from them without being bitten,
which is unusual because usually they bite me.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
And when dogs are fighting, you should never stick your
hand in the mix anyway.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
But okay, I know, but it was an fight. I know,
like they're little. You could just they're either gonna kill
each other. He could give them a little no no.
And then everyone's like just put the cake back down.
I'm like, I'm not putting the cake back down. We're
gonna cut it up and we're gonna give.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Them a little bits and pieces because you didn't do
it the right way. Okay, So once again, whose fault
is it?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Linda Lou? Linda Lou's fault.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
She has to she just no matter what I tell her,
no matter what I say.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Listen, can we do something with your mother Linda, like
have a jar and every time she does something Linda lewish.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
She has to put money in it? Yes? Okay, because last.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Week Ollie pede in the house because your mother called
you early.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
And the week before that was that the week that
she let him get out of the house.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
I'm sure she let one of them escape. So she's
always doing something. So for dog and the dog bite,
the dog bite on.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
My arm was her as well, so the dog's birthday parties.
So you're big on the cakes and the treats and
like like spending time with them.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Yes, okay, you bring over I have hat. I know
you did that hat. We did. We have hats and
you did the I will tell you the bark shootery,
cork shootery. That's what. It's bark shootery board.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
And that's a big thing right now. So like a
charcouterie board for people where it's like sheese and crackers.
You get a giant board and you put all your
dog's favorite treats and bacon and snacks on. Of course
Jack can't eat anything, so I was limited. This year
Jack has a grain or rice on it.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Inxact Green.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
No.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
I think we went to for Jack's birthday last year.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
We because he was turning ten. Last year, we went
to Leaps and Bones and I got tons of stuff
for a bark shootery board and I made him sit
in front of it and.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
I told him it was just a photo shoot. Don't
touch it, don't eat any of it. I don't need
your ask to explode. No you do not.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
But anyway, I love a bark shoot bark shootery board.
And then one year I had a birthday party for
Jack and you came over with your tupups at the time,
which she was just Charlie and Gracie, and I did
little gift bags for all the dogs, like a dog bag,
you know, like you at a restaurant and you take
home a doggie bag. Everybody got to go home with
a doggie bag.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yeah, I don't know. It's fun. It's fun throw your
dog a party. I think you should. So, if you
think about it.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Most people only have their dogs with them for averaging
about fifteen years. Again, that's guesstimate. Don't quote me on it,
don't google me. I'm I'm guessing she.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Is wishful thinking fifteen.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
But okay, so why not celebrate them at every time?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Like you shouldn't just be like.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Oh, they've been with me for a year, yay, No,
it should be every single year.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
I do have friends, and I know it's shocking that
I have more friends than you. It's jerk, and that
you have other friends aside from me. But my friends
they have no idea when their dogs, Like.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I don't know when my dog's birthday? How do you
not know? How do you, as a paw parent, not
know when your dog's birthday is? I find that to
be strange.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I not only know when my dog's birthdays are, you
know they're signed. I know their rebirthdays the day that
I brought them home. Okay, yeah, so I celebrate that too.
I love that.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
And then it's like freaks.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Me out, Like I have friends and I'm like, you know,
Jack can't eat anything. What do you feed your dog?
They're like, I don't know, it's just this blue bag.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
It like stop and shop. Like have you not know
you even feed your dog? Do you not know what
you feed your dog?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
No?
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I know what I feed my dog. No, I know
my dog's mad. I do I do. I think there's
levels of pet parenting and we are epic yet parents.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
They're like, we're like the crazy pet parents. But I
do know somebody that I unfortunately knew. Okay had rescued,
rescued with no dog experience, a pit.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
So wait, so then she had because she has.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
No experience with the dog, does not bring a trainer in,
does not know this dog's history background because it's a rescue,
I don't know what you're getting.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
The pit got aggressive, oh okay, and she got rid
of it.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Okay, so that you know. So that's that kind of
pet parent. And then she got another dog. And I
am not friends with this person. I just have to
say that disclaimer. And she decided that she wanted to
get a therapy dog.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
All right, a therapy one that was already certified, or
she wanted a dog she could train to be a
therapy dog, but yet she couldn't figure out her pit correct.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Okay, that's that makes sense, perfect sense.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
And I was like talking to her about my dogs
who sleep in my bed go on the furniture, like
Ali is literally climbing the patio furniture.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
He's on the table, not in the house, in the patio. Yes.
And I'm like, oh, yeah, my dog's sleep with me.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
She's like, oh no, my dog will never sleep with me.
He's not a lot on the furniture. He's gonna be
a therapy dog. So I would guess that she doesn't
know her dog's birthday.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
But I will tell you, with a therapy dog, she
might be onto something if she's done a research because
they cannot jump on anything, they cannot get on furniture.
My dog is, who's not a therapy dog, spent a
lot of time in a cancer a cancer ward in
Hartford Hospital.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yeah, And the only reason I brought him in there
and they allowed.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Me to is because literally the dog is a genius
and he knows when somebody's not feeling well.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Look at her, she's rise. He's actually a smart dog.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
But I can only imagine if he were the type
of dog that would jump on the furniture, jump on
the bed where somebody's sick or they're in hospice, or
somebody's in a wheelchair.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
So I kind of get it.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
I don't know because I haven't looked into it, but
therapy dogs should not be jumping on anything.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Okay, but it wasn't that type of therapy dog. What
kind of therapy was she doing working with children? Okay,
we can't jump on child.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
I'm not saying that the dogs should be jumping on children, geez.
What I'm saying is you also have to look at
a dog and be like, it's a dog, right, And
so what's like if you want a therapy dog and
that's all you like.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I know plenty of people have therapy dogs and they're
still a part of the family. And they're still a
part of the family.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
My dog's still a part of the family. He jumps
on my bed, on my couch. I just know him
as a really good dog. And if I tell him no,
don't get on that or jump on that correct elderly
person in a wheelchair, he's not going to do it right.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
And and this is and again, I love therapy dogs.
I think my Gracie could a therapy dog because she
is just so snuggly and loving and sweet she is.
She's a little lap dog. I totally get it. But
if you have a dog that you rescued that you
couldn't manage, and you couldn't manage their behavior.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
It's all this bitch right now? What's your number? Let
me call it? No, I would, and I'd be like, girl,
what you doing? Why are you getting a therapy dog?
Get a hamster, Get a fish tank. You're better off
with a fish tank. And it was very self serving, because.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Yeah, I hold a little I can't with self serving people.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
It was a self serving situation. And I feel bad
for the dog because of the big like snuggling that
I can't do that now. And the dog is not
listening because they don't know how to train their dogs,
and I think you have to learn how to train
your dogs.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
But I digress. We were talking about birthdays.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Yeah, do you Is there anything else you want to
talk about dog birthdays? I don't know, like a dog like,
what's dog years? Is dog years ten years to every
human year?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Well they used to say it was seven to every
but I think that they've downgraded that how I.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Want to know how old my If my dog's ten,
how old is he in human years? Seventy?
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Oh, so he's still kind of young. Yeah, all right,
he's just starting that hole. My hip might hurt, my
back might her kind of like his mom.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
But he's small. Thanks. My hip doesn't hurt. My back
doesn't hurt. Not yet. Didn't you just say that you
booked a massage because your back was I did.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
It was more of my shoulders from carrying your ass around.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
She's not carrying me anywhere. Don't listen to this one.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
If it came down to an MMA fight between she and.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
I, I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
I am so scrappy and really freakishly strong.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I think Lauren would start to cry, and then I'd
be you cry every day.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I don't cry every time you cry, Laura.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
I would be so hurt if I if I hit
her like in the she'd be like, oh that's so aggressive,
that is so aggressive, and then I think you would
have you would cry.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I would black out.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
I'm just like, no, I'm saying I would black out.
I would if I was fighting somebody, I feel like
I would black out.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
How many? How many fights. Have you ever been in zero?
So that pretty much tells you that that's true. That's true.
Else can we get back to birthdays? Birthday? Going off
the rails.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
I've got nothing else to say except for Charlie's birthday. Yes,
so fabulous.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
It was.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
It's always fabulous. I'm so excited that he's got another
year with me.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
He's such a joy.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
The other day last weekend, a friend of mine came
over and it was the first time, it's a new friendship,
and it was the first time that she met the dogs.
And oh my goodness, she was so good with that. Okay,
but aside from her, and she's gonna give you a
run for your money because she wants Charlie.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
But aside from her, how are the dogs with her?
You know what I mean, because like, you gotta be
a person to be so great with dogs. But did
the dogs all like respond good?
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Charlie and Allie respond and did wonderfully to her. Ali
was like.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Again, we go back to Ali, like, it's only me
he bites and it's only me that he gives a
hard time to. Gracie was a little apprehensive, which was
unlike Gracie, that's not her norm.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Yeah, And I always judge a person's character by how
my dog reacts to them, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Like he's barked at. Oh.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
He The only person my dog is barked at is
somebody you dated in the past.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Oh. I am not gonna say his name. Please don't.
Do you know what I'm talking about?
Speaker 1 (13:31):
I think I do, somebody I know. But anyway, my
dog doesn't bark. He growled and barked, and I thought, okay,
well maybe he just that's odd. So I brought this
person in that you briefly dated by the way.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
She set me up with. I did after her dog
barked at him. No, she's like, Lauren, he's perfect for you.
It was after You're right, I'm sorry about that. He
turned out not to be right for you. He turned
out to not be right for anybody. No.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
No, but see, that's what I'm saying, Like, my dog
does not growl or bark at anyone unless somebody's you know,
near normal, like somebody's walking in the neighborhood, you know,
by on your lawn. But this person was just at work,
and I had my dog at work with me, and
there's hundreds of people I worked.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
With a law. I was thinking about somebody else. How
many people have you dated that?
Speaker 1 (14:18):
My dog isn't light well mouth at mouth a mouth
and mouthed go like that in mouth the words.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Who's that? I don't know that?
Speaker 3 (14:28):
What?
Speaker 2 (14:29):
No, who's now? I know what you're talking about? The
work with I know, well now I hear in mouth
his first name. So yes, yes, the first guy, No,
I have no idea about that.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
But she has no idea yet. She set me up
with him. I did, but I thought you didn't have Jackson.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
I thought that, and I thought he was a great
guy with a good job, good business, and good money.
I did not know him like I knew the second guy.
The second guy shouldn't have set you up.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
And there's my best friends anyway, this second guy, I
should have known better because my dog doesn't growl or
bark at anybody.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
He growled and barked at this guy. Was all the
guy was.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Doing is walking down the hallway, and jack went ballistic,
and I thought, oh, that was weird. A couple of
my coworkers were like, that was weird. So the next
time I brought the dog in, he did the same
thing with this one person.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
So then my best friend Courtney said, Hey, I think
you'd be a great match with this guy.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Dogs seem to really love him. So meanwhile, I have
two dogs. Didn't know any of this.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Meanwhile, this guy spends a lot of time at your house,
so how did the dogs.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Respond to him.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
I'm just curious because my dog did not respond to
him well at all. It's the only person my dog's
almost eleven, that he's ever barked or growled at.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
I mean, yours, we're fine. When they were fine, but
they didn't really pay much attention to him either. I mean,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
I'm just saying I think dogs know energy and vibes
from people.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Can let the get up.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
If your dog, Ladies, is growling at a dude or
a guy you're on a date with, get rid of them.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Yeah you can't.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
You can't be involved with men who don't like your
dog or women who don't. I think about that fresh
pet commercial where they're like, you have dog food and
the refrigerator, and then they boot the person out because
they're like it's fresh pat.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, that's what you have to do. Okay,
would you.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Good question Lauren? Your three fur babies you meet the quote,
Well he couldn't be the man of your dreams, but
let's just say the man of your dreams.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
But your dogs don't like him too bad? Bye, dogs
are the man the man? Okay, I do dogs. Can't
rup my babies for that. I would never give up
my dog for that. No, no, it's not worth it.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Not.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
I dated guy once and he told me he had allergies.
Remember that guy? Oh I had that guy that had
allergies too. Yeah, like, don't give me that crap. Take
a pill.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Yeah, Like, you just don't like dogs, right, don't tell
me of allergies, right, you can't come in your house. Well,
then don't go to somebody else's house. Get rid of him, like,
never invited him one day. Tell me you have dog allergies.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
You're out. I'm sorry, take a pill.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
I think that a lot of times that's an excuse
because when you're initially meeting someone and you're getting to
know them, whether it's in person, on a dating app, wherever,
you're getting to know that person.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
If you have dogs, that's what you lead with.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
You're like, and I have three dogs, and I have
a dog, and I love my dog, and we go
walking and we go for hikes and blah blah.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
So you lead with that.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
So if this person has a quote unquote allergy man
or woman, then that conversation ends right then and there
and that person be like, I'm allergic.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
I can't bear which great? Bye, do me a favor.
Can you grab your cell phone? Jackson? Come here, Come
and give me kisses. Come and give me a kiss?
What you need for my cell phone?
Speaker 1 (17:45):
I would like you to look up dating sites for
dog lovers, because I feel like we should go on
a site and get ourselves some boyfriends.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
All right, let's see what I can find day sites.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Listen, I'm old, I type slow.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Yeah, I'm just like I want to date somebody. Well, I,
first of all would like to date a veterinarian because
my VET bills are out of control.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
So if I dated a.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Guy that was a veterinarian, I think it would be
a benefit for me.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
An Jackson, So if you're a veterinarian and you're looking,
so there is there is date my pet? Dig Well,
I don't want that.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
What does that mean date my pet? Is that like
they're dating our pets? Or is that that is a
dating site?
Speaker 3 (18:31):
The leading dating website exclusively for pet lovers.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Oh, okay, fetch a date. Okay, there are some tin
dog oh my god.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Animal people personals, oh my god, dog one singles Okay,
must love pets, Yes, that's probably the one for us
palmates Okay, and then the dating app for pet parents.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Okay. This is what we need to do, Lauren.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
We need to dedicate a full podcast to picking one
of these sites.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
And signing up for it. Let's do it. Do you
know how many women around here watching us? They're like,
why do you always go to the women with their
fur babies?
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Because I just I think guys are watching too, But
I think there's a lot of women that are like,
I'd rather listen. I would rather stay home with my
dog any day than go anywhere. I'm not going to
meet anybody sitting at home with my dog.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
I have all do it together.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
I have a friend of mine who I've known for
many many years, went to high school together, and he's
got a dog.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
And he is a complete dog daddy, Like he would
rather stay home with his dog. So I think we
need to not isolate men in this.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
We're not isolating. We're all signing up together.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Guys.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
You can sign up as well if you want. But
I'm just saying we should just do this. We I
think we need to dedicate one podcast to picking at
least one dating site for single dog lovers, male or female. Okay,
we need to sign up and then we will give
you updates on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
How it's going. I think we should just try it.
I think we should give it a shot.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
We'll pick one of the You don't think they're dopes
on find My Furry Best Friend Finder.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Don't. They're all gonna be We're all gonna be dopes.
It's gonna be perfect. I will.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
It's a website for people that like animals. I think
it's gonna be fine. I think you probably will translate.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Better think I do.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
I think you're gonna translate even better because you're such
a good dog mom and you love animals, and you're
and somebody who's looking for the same thing as you.
When we're on the regular dating sites, we don't know
what they like or anything.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
At least you know they like dogs if you're on
a dog site, unless they.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Just like women or men who have dogs because they figure, well,
they're super this and super that and have all these
preconceived notions about people with dogs.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
That's true. I mean, who knows, it was just a thought. No,
I'm totally down for it. Down for dogs, down for dating.
Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
I think it would be funny and fun and then
we could just delete the app. We'll put it on
one of our phones. We'll just we'll go in as
one person, okay, and then we'll.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Just delete it. Weren't either, I know, but you're.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
So.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
I think we should do it and it would be funny.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Can I ask everybody out in the world that's watching
this to please comment on how we went from Charlie's
birthday birthday to Lauren getting on a dating app.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
You know what, because because we were talking about dogs
liking people and my dog didn't like that last guy
you dated. You know what, I think we need to
bring my dog in to vet everybody. I think any
guy we go on a date with, they have to
meet Jack first, and if he.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Growls at him, they're out.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
He's never growled at anybody, and he growled on that
guy and he turned out to be a wacko.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
And right he growled at him twice. And you're lie, Lauren,
this is the perfect guy for you.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
I think you were already seeing him. I do.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
I don't know why he would growl at him. It
was very strange. Maybe he was jealous. I don't know it.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
It was weird. It was weird. But listen, let your
dog pick your date. That's what I say. So Jack's
eleventh birthday is coming up July third, and I know
we've got an episode that our next episode is going
to be all about fireworks and keeping your dog calm.
I know, Lauren, you've got are all three afraid of fireworks.
Ali is not afraid of fireworks. However, I feel like
(22:22):
the longer he's around Gracie and Charlie and they're.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Showing up on he's going to pick up on that. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Ye, Gracie and Charlie are terrified. I hate I hate fireworks.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
I know, I understand. Oh yay, lights in the sky.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Meanwhile, it's coming up, though it's like a week away.
You're gonna have to like prepare. So we're gonna do
a special podcast where we can give you tips and tricks.
I've got some tips and tricks only because I did
have a dog back in the day, a great day,
and that was afraid of fireworks. And Laura was over
once and we found him in the bathroom, like literally
in the bathtub, drooling. He was so my current dog
(23:01):
is not afraid, so I don't I'm not worried about it,
but I know your dogs are. And we've tried a
million things together and discussed stuff. So our next podcast
all about keeping your dog calm. And I've got a
great tip for you. Oh my god, I've got a
tip for Lauren. And she's not tried this before. I
do not believe.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
So now I'm gonna have to wait another week to
find out how to keep my dogs calm during my god,
just got a thunder, it starts raining and they're cowering.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
I'm gonna make Lauren wait like everybody else, and I'll
give you the tip that I just discovered. I don't
know if it works or not. I haven't tried it,
but it's worth a shot. If your dog is afraid
of fireworks.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Yeah, And I think that's a great topic to have,
is about fireworks easy you do too.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
I think there's a lot of dogs out there that
are get very, very anxious. They almost know when it's
coming as it gets dark, and even that anticipation sometimes
starts their anxiety even if there isn't thunder or isn't fireworks, So.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
It doesn't even have to be fireworks. It could be
a thunder and lightning storm too. It's all like, I
feel like thunder and lightning and fireworks. They're kind of
the same if you've got a dog afraid a loud noises.
So I'm sure all of the tips and tricks could
be for thunderstorms too, So we'll look those up, we'll
figure them out.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
We're gonna go back to celebrating Charlie's birthday. Yea, birthdays.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
I don't know why we don't have birthday hats on
and birthday cakes.
