Speaker 1 (00:33):
I know you say you like animals, I do, but
you don't want one.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
No, you've had them, had them.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
You said you had a dog that was just a
pooing machine.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
It was.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
It was a po machine. Well that's what babies are,
but you don't.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Yeah, but it was. It was no good for anything,
and just run around like a nut at a bark
at everyone and scare people.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
If you've got a dog that's a nut, that's your fault.
Do you acknowledge that?
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Probably?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
But I was the only one that attended to it.
The problem was the people in my house at the time.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Your family. Yes, these people, we on.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
A dog, We had a dog. We want cats, we
want dogs, we want ducks. But they don't do anything
with the dog. They like the idea of the pet,
but they don't do anything with the pet. They don't
walk it, they don't feed it, they don't clean.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Them up to poo.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
I'm the guy that doesn't want it, but I'm the
one that ends up doing it and unfortunately for poor
sammar our dog. It was a cattle dog Rhodesian ridgeback
cross that a big dog. Was a nut. It was
a full blown nut. Was one of those ones I reckon.
You would have seen it on a current affair that
ripped some kid's face off. There was a nut dog.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Where'd you give it?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
I went to a farm, like a legitimate farmer guy
in Queensland, a farmer we were living up there at
the time. He came along and he said, this is
perfect for a property. It's good at running up pigs
and killing sheep. I actually no running up sheep and
killing pigs, although this summer I reckon it would have
killed everything. It was a nut.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Wow, you gave it a good start.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
And you know what. Years later, I was walking through
a shopping center and I thought I saw it. You know,
I'm in Sydney, and oh my god, that's summer. It
was exactly the same breed and it was just come right.
It was tied up to a post and the owner
was in the supermarket.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
There was race savaging.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
People as they're walking past, and they're pulling.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Their children aside.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
And the owner came out and I said, what sort
of dog's out and he said our cattle to dog
Rhodies and ridgeback cross said worst dog ever.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
And we chatted for age.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
I said I had one, and he said what did
you do it? I said, I went to a farm
and he said, this thing will be going to a farm.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Wow. And then he went wing wing and he.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Thought that I meant that I put two bricks in it,
you know, in its head. But no, we got two
bricks into its head and went to a legitimate farm.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
When we first got our border collie, the boys were, well,
the dog is now thirteen and my children are twenty three,
and how old are they twenty four and twenty two?
So they were you know, they were ten and eleven whatever, whatever,
And I said, look, this is a border Collie is
going to be very smart. We need to all be
on the same step page when we train her. As interesting,
because Jack was said little.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
His voice was high, so.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
When she would run behind him and nip at his
ankles and we had to him turn around. And he's
a deep voice like they teach you when they teach
you in bark busses and go woh. He had to
fake a deep voice, and of course now she's an
elderly dog and the boys just love her, and they
call her their hairy sister, and every time they come over,
they just shower.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Her with the laugh. She is a very sweet dog.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Your dog is the absolute opposite she was.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
And I spoke to some guy the other day who
used to have a Border Collie and he said that
his dog had passed away four years ago. He waited
two years to get a new one, and he said
he'd forgotten how hard a puppy is, particularly Colli pup.
He said he'd seen a meme, which is true, a cute,
little fluffy puppy, two years of velociraptor, and then a
very loving dog those two years of Velociraptor in the
(03:52):
middle a very very much.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
You went to puppy school, you had a puppy trainer.
We did all that, and I remember she said to you,
you know, when you get home from school or work,
find something else to do.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Don't just don't lavish the dog. And what did Jack say?
I don't know what if I haven't got anything else
to do. That's so like Jack, which I don't have
something if I come home and I've got nothing else
to do. But play with the dog.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Well, the reason I bring up dogs is our dog
now comes up and loves a scratch.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Most dogs love a scratch.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
And here's why dogs experience a state of euphoria, a
natural high when you rub their ears because there's a
dense network of nerve endings in their ears that trigger
in doorphins and oxytocin, which are the natural feel good hormones.
They reduce pain, promote relaxation. The process activates the parasympathetic
(04:44):
nervous system, so it calms them, puts them in a
contense state, and it does the same for us. So
because it slows us down and the dog has a
moment of connection with you, you don't just pat it
in passing. If you take a moment to scratch your
dog's ears. Have you seen I've seen lots of footage
of people sticking their fingers in dogs ears and rolling
(05:05):
them around, or you know, scratching right inside the ear,
and the dog just goes h its eyes rolled back
in its head. It just loves it, loves it so
much so, if you do have a dog, that touch
isn't just a gesture. It's a message to the dog
and it receives it loud and clear.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Wow. What about that time when Mini ate all that
grass and there's a big blade just sticking out of
a bumhole.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Imagine the satisfaction when I pulled it out. We both
got a little bit of something something out of that.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Been both eating grass. Since Okay, that's.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
It for today. Come back tomorrow for more Jelgy and
