Speaker 1 (00:00):
Live baby. This is pet Life Radio. Let's talk pets.
It's a big world out there and you're just looking
for a pat on the back forehead. You run around
the city, searching for a place to bark, working your
tail off with your nose to the ground, sniffing for
a few scraps, hoping someone will throw you a barn.
You take each lead, collar after collar, hoping one day
(00:23):
to take a bite out of success and become the
top dog. Fortunately, you come home each day to open arms,
open hands, and drink waiting for you at a comfortable
place in front of a TV set. You know you've
got it good, really good, because, after all, it's a
doggy dog world out there. Pet Life Radio presents It's
(00:44):
a Doggy Dog World with your host, pet expert and
award winning author Liz Palaika and this week's co hosts,
Kate Evan and Petra Burke.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Hi, Welcome to It's a Doggy Dog World. I'm your host,
Liz pol like it, and my friends are with me today,
Pat Bird I know, and Kate Abbott I'll do. This
is kind of a celebration podcast. Plus we're also saying goodbye.
This is our last podcast where it's a doggy dog world,
and we'll talk about why in a few minutes. But
(01:17):
don't turn us off just because we said it's the
last one. So we started this podcast. Our first podcast
was published, public reported recorded on Saturday, September twenty second,
two thousand and seven. That's crazy, and now we're in
November twenty twenty one. All the things that have happened
(01:42):
in that fourteen years. We didn't know what we were doing.
We had no idea what we were doing. The podcast
was Managing a Busy Dog, which had some good information,
but since we had no idea what we were doing,
we tried to script it. It was not the casual
conversation that you're here now, where we just kind of
(02:02):
wing it.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Yeah, I think Walter was a big topic of conversation
on that first hand.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Yeah, I think I think Managing a Busy Dog was Walter,
and then but Cher was very young at the time too. Well,
Walter and Bsher hung out a lot and they were
both busy. But Walter, yeah, Walter was the very busy one.
(02:29):
But yeah, listening to those first podcasts is quite sad
if you listen. I tuned it a little bit to
a couple of them new and.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
I have it. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I haven't had the guts to listen to us. Thankfully
though we relaxed, didn't take it, didn't take us too long,
and we relaxed. And then our podcast because a side, Yeah,
it's great for fuddy Liz, you say that.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Pause for the.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Now we just go, what are we going to talk about?
Speaker 4 (03:06):
You know, okay, we can talk about that? Oh god,
but fourteen years, fourteen years, we've talked a lot about
busy dogs. We talked about them again. We've talked many,
many times about traveling with dogs because there's been a
lot of road trips in the last fourteen years. In
(03:27):
my fancy van, in my big van, yeah, and then
in cars and then the last oh, cabin we did well,
we went to cabin, and then the RV and then
well where I have third RV uh the first old
RV to see if we were going to use it,
and we did. To Louisiana, all around Arizona, central coast
(03:53):
of California, central Valley of California, Oregon several times. Lots
of traveling, lots of road trips, Big ser San Semn
and I'm and then we talked a lot about house training.
House training is one. We got a lot of listener
questions about we've done house training choosing dogs. Oh, we've
(04:16):
done lots of podcasts done choosing dogs. Because again we've
gotten all the questions from listeners.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Oh, you brought one upcake When we talked about designer
breeds way early on. We tell it about desire breeds
in two thousand and seven. Was in two thousand and seven. Yeah, wow, Yeah,
the Desier breaths our whole.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Thing we're hearing about.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah, yep, two thousand and seven.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
I was always both sort of embarrassed but also odd
a wt in all of getting emails and stuff from
people from Australia and.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
Japan and yeah, hil and China. But yeah, everyone's well.
A couple times a year I get an email from
a lady has a dog named pom Pong in there.
Oh I remember, ever and there end I'm too late.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah, I happened to get pick up the email from
the lady in China. The first one was in the
two thousand and eight, two thousand and nine, I think,
and she followed us for the longest time, and then
I didn't hear from her anymore, and I was wondering
if perhaps that was political, that perhaps so the you know,
(05:27):
the podcast was taken off the air in China or
pet Life Radio was off the air and obviously.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Would be subversive.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
Yeah, the three brazy ladies the lady was talking about.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Yeah, several people from Australia, New Zealand. One of the
New Zealanders has been a long time Facebook friend of
mine because four years after we started this was when
Paul passed away and got lots and lots and lots
of emails from listeners after that, and several of them
(06:05):
turned into longtime Facebook friends.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
That's cool.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Yeah, yeah, not to spend how many students have listened
to us still do or.
Speaker 7 (06:14):
People come to be comestdents going, yeah, listen to your podcast.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
It's you, isn't Oh yeah you said that in a podcast.
Listening to that because you know, we sit here in
the office and record it by ourselves with the dons
playing outside the office, and it's like, you know it,
(06:39):
they're recording it. But does anybody even listen to that?
It's still shocking. Oh I listen to your podcast. I've
listened to over and over and I'm all caught up,
and I'm not going to And then when we would
get the notices from our producer Mark that our podcast
was in the top ten favorite dog podcast for for
(07:00):
a few years all over the place. Yeah, really, you're
talking about somebody else, really us.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Nah.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
In fact, when we told Mark we were calling it quits,
he he was, oh, no, no, no, you it's so popular.
All good things must come to in Well, we're teen
years is a long time, yep. And to be honest,
I retired from Kindred Spirits last year and patriots calling
(07:36):
it quits the end of this year, and we're leaving
it to Kate. She's going to be here by herself
with a corps of volunteers and patron and I are
moving out of the area. We're going about fifteen hundred
miles away, so it'd be hard to sit in an
office and record podcasts. And I hate zoom with passion.
(07:58):
Sorry soon, you're okay soon, but you know, not me,
And so we figured this was a good time to
call it quits. However, if Kay got brave and wanted
to continue on her own, she could, yeah, remark, wouldn't mind.
I'd have just talked to my dog or call deb
and Sue Wynn. They talked to you, SUSA. Well, both
(08:20):
deb and so have come in to do guests podcasts
with us at various times. Yeah, SU's quite outspoken. She's
fun to have on a podcast.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
She's having a little bit of the sides right now.
She had a foster and uh, it was quite an
adorable puppy, and thank goodness, somebody has adopted her. So
it's a little bit of yay, Bab's got a home,
a missing bab. So, yeah, not another. She was swore
it would not be another foster fail.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Though I'm the father. We know that, Yeah, we do.
I haven't had any kittens for the last couple of
several months, but I'm glad my last one is going
to her home because oh she's just though, she's so sweetie.
So heard Bella, my other foster fail, are like buds.
(09:10):
They walk together and she robes on Bella, Bella cleans
her and oh my god, but look, you just talk
about how special Bella is. Yeah, I would steal Bella
in a heart date. She's Bella's a nice cat. So
and then uh, well you know what. And then over
the years, over the fourteen years, how many dogs we've
(09:32):
had and I've passed away fourteen puppies. We've gotten over
this fourteen years ago. But Sheer was well, be Sheer's
been gone five years. Can you believe that?
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
But Sheer and Siscilik beenka in five years twenty sixteen
because I was just going through photo albums. But Hey
and Walter. Kate had Walter and I had Sheer. I
think in two thousand and seven, Riker was probably gone.
I was probably no, I didn't have Cisco yet. A. Uh,
(10:06):
trying to think about fourteen years back we had well, no,
we hadna ConA. We're still the Raker on Kona. Okay,
I'll take your roof for it. Yeah, so we are
bloss either. Then while we've been doing recording podcasts, we
didn't get the English Shepherds. That's true because Ryker passed
away the year after Paul did. So. Ryker passed away
twenty twelve, so had Riker. Yeah, and and at that point.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Archer uncovering stuff during moving my house, I came across
the props and costumes or the wild dog junction.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Oh fine, yeah, yeah, I wish we could have kept
on with that. Oh that that turned into be such
a bigger project than we ever.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Did we do it podcast on it?
Speaker 2 (10:55):
No, I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Then Liz came up with a script for a town
that was made of dogs. Yeah, the inhabitants were all dogs.
So we had the Share was the shirt, yes, but
Share was the sheriff. Gina was the saloon girl, yes,
and Peaches Peaches was right, right? And then uh and
he was.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
The preacher, yes, Riker was Did we have riper and
conut where the old men, yes, sitting on the porch,
then sitting on the pork poker right. And then we
had a couple miners because this was a goldbrush town.
(11:37):
That's right, it was a gold rush town. And we
had dressed them up and took photos and oh it
was awesome those photos.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Wonderfuy.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
But something happened. It turned into a big project. And
then we read out a time or yeah, I don't
read remember what happened, but the first chapter was awesome.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
I think Walter was a card shut.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Yes he was. He was a gambler in the saloon. Yeah, yeah,
Oh it was so many aro but here was the sheriff. Yeah,
because we figured he was the only one. Everybody else
would listen to, especially Walter and the miners. I don't
(12:28):
remember who were the miners, but oh it was great.
We had a lot of dogs. We had a lot
of fun with the photo sessions.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Yeah, not getting the dogs used to wearing different things.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Oh yeah yeah. Well wait, speaking of we've talked about
Halloween on the podcast several times too, and how to
wear cosstumes, how to introduce them safely. It's fun because
now what the best couple of years we put it
out there on our classes, the closest class the Polleen
right to bring your dog to and costume. Yeah, yeah,
(13:01):
that was fun. We had the this last y we
had the minions.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Oh my gosh, the humans and the dogs were dressed
as minions.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Did you take Soto? Don did? Yeah? I thought that
that would be great to put up on Facebook.
Speaker 8 (13:15):
Yeah, that was a huge And then we had oh
the little dog dressed a little devil, the little Boston
well giggled. It was funny because all the students, like
lots were like that.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Well I'm glad I'm not sayings like barbe. Oh we
had the dragon because I think you got a picture,
yeah I s yeah, yeah, Don sent me that one. Yeah,
so that that.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Has been fun. Yeah, that's been a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
The minions though there were that was awful.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Theever there's a group theme. It's great.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
And then of course training, of course because kidred spirits
dog training. We've talked about training a lot, a lot,
a lot because that's our quote unquote thing and not
that dogs have to be robots. But then having a
well behaved just makes life so much easier in all respects. Yeah.
(14:13):
And problem prevention and problem solving. We get a lot
of emails over that too. My dog is chewing everything?
How could I stop him from chewing everything? Put on again,
on that good note, Liz is getting a new puppy
getting happy tomorrow. There an English shepherd and he's related
related to the once I have in petro head yep. Yeah,
(14:37):
now his name is going to be Luke for Jean
Luke Pucard because you know Star Trek. Yep. If you
heard a funny noise in front of the microphone, that
was Kate's quill just jumped up on the desk and
shook himself in front of the microphone. So if you've
heard an odd sound, that was Quill letting us on
(14:58):
we'll get that hair.

That's turger glitter, that's hair, prickly hair, that's little white hairs,
dragger quills.
Speaker 7 (15:11):
So yeah, my nose is pretty well puppy proof because
I've been packing and it's only been two and a
half years since I had a puppy.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
I realized with this one. I've had four puppies in
the last ten years, but since I lost Bones this
past summer. Bones was three when I brought home Hero,
and then Hero was three when I brought home seven,
and seven's two and a half while in a bring home.
Look there it goes. So I've be't been nothing but
raising puppies for the last ten years. Puppies and adolescents
(15:47):
and kittens. Lots of foster kittens. Actually, I checked the
spot database and over one hundred kittens in the last
six years.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Whoa, Yeah, lots of kittens.
Speaker 2 (15:57):

Yeah, getting real, Yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Don't looking forward to it. Well, the houses probably go
on the market February first. Mine mover's coming a little
earlier because one, I can move into the RV if
I want to. But also i'm painting the inside of
my house and it'll be much much easier now that
I've got one room done and working in the second room.
It'll be much much easier if the house is empty.
(17:59):
Oh yeah, so movers coming mid December, and that gives
me some time to finish the painting with nothing in
the house, So dobate yourself. Yeah, I'm painting at my sin.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
And dogs and cats helping.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Well, so far, the cat room had been emptied out
and that's the one that's done because I just moved
the cat box and closed everybody out. And I'm doing
the office next. It's emptied right now. It's nothing's in there.
I moved my desk stuff earlier out into the living room.
My house is what you'll I call it right now.

longer color except your master. Yeah. That that's when I
decided the mover was going to come early. I looked
at the master bedroom and said, I cannot move that dresser,
I cannot move that bed. I can't pitch this room
until this stuff is out of here.
Speaker 9 (19:16):
Yeah.

of dogs, but previous generations of dogs have herded goats.
They're not easy to herd, but they can. And I
(19:55):
don't want to deal with shearing sheep. No, so no
sheep now, but we ca get to be fun. We
can have get a half a dozen goats. Yeah, we
breed them, so we have goats and milk. I would
let us come cheese. And I'm gonna put up a
greenhouse and I'm gonna garden. I told Petra, I will

grow it. She'll have to figure out how to cook it.
Cannon or dehydrate it? Yetta canon cook it? Can he
cooks better?
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Now you're not trying to saw tape peas anymore.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
No, or of course you know salads. I love salads.
So so I'll be doing the greenhouse. We're gonna put
in some fruit trees. We already talked about that. Oh
we can't want to want to be what we're going
to do inside the house, but we.
Speaker 6 (20:48):

the cover of your new wareness Oh bookay, I had that.
I didn't know. I didn't have time to stop and
ask her where she got.
Speaker 2 (21:54):

release party, and so we pulled deeply and I pulled
names out of a hat and sent them a free
copy of the book in a tope bag. And I
had like twenty tote bags to give away, and they
went all over the country. So I have well, I
(22:15):
have no idea. I who got one look late well
to see if she knows that that's the same way
as the partner. That's so maybe that's why she brought
it in.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
But she had her dog training step in it. So
that was good.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Oh cool, Oh that's cool. I don't know anybody other
think you ever announced it on our podcast that you
only don't do dogs stuff.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
You're into romance.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
No, we won't lay down for now. There are pats

Liz pol like it, and my friends are with me today,
Pat Bird I know, and Kate Abbott I'll do. This
is kind of a celebration podcast. Plus we're also saying goodbye.
This is our last podcast where it's a doggy dog world,
and we'll talk about why in a few minutes. But
(01:17):
don't turn us off just because we said it's the
last one. So we started this podcast. Our first podcast
was published, public reported recorded on Saturday, September twenty second,
two thousand and seven. That's crazy, and now we're in
November twenty twenty one. All the things that have happened
(01:42):
in that fourteen years. We didn't know what we were doing.
We had no idea what we were doing. The podcast
was Managing a Busy Dog, which had some good information,
but since we had no idea what we were doing,
we tried to script it. It was not the casual
conversation that you're here now, where we just kind of
(02:02):
wing it.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Yeah, I think Walter was a big topic of conversation
on that first hand.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Yeah, I think I think Managing a Busy Dog was Walter,
and then but Cher was very young at the time too. Well,
Walter and Bsher hung out a lot and they were
both busy. But Walter, yeah, Walter was the very busy one.
(02:29):
But yeah, listening to those first podcasts is quite sad
if you listen. I tuned it a little bit to
a couple of them new and.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
I have it. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I haven't had the guts to listen to us. Thankfully
though we relaxed, didn't take it, didn't take us too long,
and we relaxed. And then our podcast because a side, Yeah,
it's great for fuddy Liz, you say that.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Pause for the.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Now we just go, what are we going to talk about?
Speaker 4 (03:06):
You know, okay, we can talk about that? Oh god,
but fourteen years, fourteen years, we've talked a lot about
busy dogs. We talked about them again. We've talked many,
many times about traveling with dogs because there's been a
lot of road trips in the last fourteen years. In
(03:27):
my fancy van, in my big van, yeah, and then
in cars and then the last oh, cabin we did well,
we went to cabin, and then the RV and then
well where I have third RV uh the first old
RV to see if we were going to use it,
and we did. To Louisiana, all around Arizona, central coast
(03:53):
of California, central Valley of California, Oregon several times. Lots
of traveling, lots of road trips, Big ser San Semn
and I'm and then we talked a lot about house training.
House training is one. We got a lot of listener
questions about we've done house training choosing dogs. Oh, we've
(04:16):
done lots of podcasts done choosing dogs. Because again we've
gotten all the questions from listeners.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Oh, you brought one upcake When we talked about designer
breeds way early on. We tell it about desire breeds
in two thousand and seven. Was in two thousand and seven. Yeah, wow, Yeah,
the Desier breaths our whole.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Thing we're hearing about.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah, yep, two thousand and seven.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
I was always both sort of embarrassed but also odd
a wt in all of getting emails and stuff from
people from Australia and.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
Japan and yeah, hil and China. But yeah, everyone's well.
A couple times a year I get an email from
a lady has a dog named pom Pong in there.
Oh I remember, ever and there end I'm too late.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah, I happened to get pick up the email from
the lady in China. The first one was in the
two thousand and eight, two thousand and nine, I think,
and she followed us for the longest time, and then
I didn't hear from her anymore, and I was wondering
if perhaps that was political, that perhaps so the you know,
(05:27):
the podcast was taken off the air in China or
pet Life Radio was off the air and obviously.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Would be subversive.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
Yeah, the three brazy ladies the lady was talking about.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Yeah, several people from Australia, New Zealand. One of the
New Zealanders has been a long time Facebook friend of
mine because four years after we started this was when
Paul passed away and got lots and lots and lots
of emails from listeners after that, and several of them
(06:05):
turned into longtime Facebook friends.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
That's cool.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Yeah, yeah, not to spend how many students have listened
to us still do or.
Speaker 7 (06:14):
People come to be comestdents going, yeah, listen to your podcast.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
It's you, isn't Oh yeah you said that in a podcast.
Listening to that because you know, we sit here in
the office and record it by ourselves with the dons
playing outside the office, and it's like, you know it,
(06:39):
they're recording it. But does anybody even listen to that?
It's still shocking. Oh I listen to your podcast. I've
listened to over and over and I'm all caught up,
and I'm not going to And then when we would
get the notices from our producer Mark that our podcast
was in the top ten favorite dog podcast for for
(07:00):
a few years all over the place. Yeah, really, you're
talking about somebody else, really us.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Nah.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
In fact, when we told Mark we were calling it quits,
he he was, oh, no, no, no, you it's so popular.
All good things must come to in Well, we're teen
years is a long time, yep. And to be honest,
I retired from Kindred Spirits last year and patriots calling
(07:36):
it quits the end of this year, and we're leaving
it to Kate. She's going to be here by herself
with a corps of volunteers and patron and I are
moving out of the area. We're going about fifteen hundred
miles away, so it'd be hard to sit in an
office and record podcasts. And I hate zoom with passion.
(07:58):
Sorry soon, you're okay soon, but you know, not me,
And so we figured this was a good time to
call it quits. However, if Kay got brave and wanted
to continue on her own, she could, yeah, remark, wouldn't mind.
I'd have just talked to my dog or call deb
and Sue Wynn. They talked to you, SUSA. Well, both
(08:20):
deb and so have come in to do guests podcasts
with us at various times. Yeah, SU's quite outspoken. She's
fun to have on a podcast.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
She's having a little bit of the sides right now.
She had a foster and uh, it was quite an
adorable puppy, and thank goodness, somebody has adopted her. So
it's a little bit of yay, Bab's got a home,
a missing bab. So, yeah, not another. She was swore
it would not be another foster fail.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Though I'm the father. We know that, Yeah, we do.
I haven't had any kittens for the last couple of
several months, but I'm glad my last one is going
to her home because oh she's just though, she's so sweetie.
So heard Bella, my other foster fail, are like buds.
(09:10):
They walk together and she robes on Bella, Bella cleans
her and oh my god, but look, you just talk
about how special Bella is. Yeah, I would steal Bella
in a heart date. She's Bella's a nice cat. So
and then uh, well you know what. And then over
the years, over the fourteen years, how many dogs we've
(09:32):
had and I've passed away fourteen puppies. We've gotten over
this fourteen years ago. But Sheer was well, be Sheer's
been gone five years. Can you believe that?
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
But Sheer and Siscilik beenka in five years twenty sixteen
because I was just going through photo albums. But Hey
and Walter. Kate had Walter and I had Sheer. I
think in two thousand and seven, Riker was probably gone.
I was probably no, I didn't have Cisco yet. A. Uh,
(10:06):
trying to think about fourteen years back we had well, no,
we hadna ConA. We're still the Raker on Kona. Okay,
I'll take your roof for it. Yeah, so we are
bloss either. Then while we've been doing recording podcasts, we
didn't get the English Shepherds. That's true because Ryker passed
away the year after Paul did. So. Ryker passed away
twenty twelve, so had Riker. Yeah, and and at that point.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Archer uncovering stuff during moving my house, I came across
the props and costumes or the wild dog junction.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Oh fine, yeah, yeah, I wish we could have kept
on with that. Oh that that turned into be such
a bigger project than we ever.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Did we do it podcast on it?
Speaker 2 (10:55):
No, I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Then Liz came up with a script for a town
that was made of dogs. Yeah, the inhabitants were all dogs.
So we had the Share was the shirt, yes, but
Share was the sheriff. Gina was the saloon girl, yes,
and Peaches Peaches was right, right? And then uh and
he was.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
The preacher, yes, Riker was Did we have riper and
conut where the old men, yes, sitting on the porch,
then sitting on the pork poker right. And then we
had a couple miners because this was a goldbrush town.
(11:37):
That's right, it was a gold rush town. And we
had dressed them up and took photos and oh it
was awesome those photos.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Wonderfuy.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
But something happened. It turned into a big project. And
then we read out a time or yeah, I don't
read remember what happened, but the first chapter was awesome.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
I think Walter was a card shut.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Yes he was. He was a gambler in the saloon. Yeah, yeah,
Oh it was so many aro but here was the sheriff. Yeah,
because we figured he was the only one. Everybody else
would listen to, especially Walter and the miners. I don't
(12:28):
remember who were the miners, but oh it was great.
We had a lot of dogs. We had a lot
of fun with the photo sessions.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Yeah, not getting the dogs used to wearing different things.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Oh yeah yeah. Well wait, speaking of we've talked about
Halloween on the podcast several times too, and how to
wear cosstumes, how to introduce them safely. It's fun because
now what the best couple of years we put it
out there on our classes, the closest class the Polleen
right to bring your dog to and costume. Yeah, yeah,
(13:01):
that was fun. We had the this last y we
had the minions.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Oh my gosh, the humans and the dogs were dressed
as minions.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Did you take Soto? Don did? Yeah? I thought that
that would be great to put up on Facebook.
Speaker 8 (13:15):
Yeah, that was a huge And then we had oh
the little dog dressed a little devil, the little Boston
well giggled. It was funny because all the students, like
lots were like that.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Well I'm glad I'm not sayings like barbe. Oh we
had the dragon because I think you got a picture,
yeah I s yeah, yeah, Don sent me that one. Yeah,
so that that.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Has been fun. Yeah, that's been a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
The minions though there were that was awful.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Theever there's a group theme. It's great.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
And then of course training, of course because kidred spirits
dog training. We've talked about training a lot, a lot,
a lot because that's our quote unquote thing and not
that dogs have to be robots. But then having a
well behaved just makes life so much easier in all respects. Yeah.
(14:13):
And problem prevention and problem solving. We get a lot
of emails over that too. My dog is chewing everything?
How could I stop him from chewing everything? Put on again,
on that good note, Liz is getting a new puppy
getting happy tomorrow. There an English shepherd and he's related
related to the once I have in petro head yep. Yeah,
(14:37):
now his name is going to be Luke for Jean
Luke Pucard because you know Star Trek. Yep. If you
heard a funny noise in front of the microphone, that
was Kate's quill just jumped up on the desk and
shook himself in front of the microphone. So if you've
heard an odd sound, that was Quill letting us on
(14:58):
we'll get that hair.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Hey, and that's not here.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
That's turger glitter, that's hair, prickly hair, that's little white hairs,
dragger quills.
Speaker 7 (15:11):
So yeah, my nose is pretty well puppy proof because
I've been packing and it's only been two and a
half years since I had a puppy.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
I realized with this one. I've had four puppies in
the last ten years, but since I lost Bones this
past summer. Bones was three when I brought home Hero,
and then Hero was three when I brought home seven,
and seven's two and a half while in a bring home.
Look there it goes. So I've be't been nothing but
raising puppies for the last ten years. Puppies and adolescents
(15:47):
and kittens. Lots of foster kittens. Actually, I checked the
spot database and over one hundred kittens in the last
six years.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Whoa, Yeah, lots of kittens.

Don't looking forward to it. Well, the houses probably go
on the market February first. Mine mover's coming a little
earlier because one, I can move into the RV if
I want to. But also i'm painting the inside of
my house and it'll be much much easier now that
I've got one room done and working in the second room.
It'll be much much easier if the house is empty.
(17:59):
Oh yeah, so movers coming mid December, and that gives
me some time to finish the painting with nothing in
the house, So dobate yourself. Yeah, I'm painting at my sin.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
And dogs and cats helping.

the cat box and closed everybody out. And I'm doing
the office next. It's emptied right now. It's nothing's in there.
I moved my desk stuff earlier out into the living room.
My house is what you'll I call it right now.
