Um the dog.
Oh yeah, cue the pet emergency.
Yeah, I won't deep dive into it, but I might, um, so ray was
licking her foot a little bit.

(02:15):
That front right paw, it'salways the front right paw, uh
anyway, so yeah, so if we'reabout to go out of town or
something, sorry, yeah, so ifwe're about to go out of town,
I'm like what is?

Speaker 2 (02:32):
what is?

Speaker 1 (02:32):
it and then I look and it's like of course it's
inflamed and it's like all blackfrom oh she just goes full
yeast mode I should name hermarsh on um, but she goes.
It got to the point shewouldn't even put in weight on
it.
So she was like eating her foodwith a right ball like pulled

(02:53):
up.
Oh no, so I take her to the vet.
I called him.
I know the drill.
I was like hey it's her frontright paw.
Again, it's probably a yeastinfection.
If I could just get a, I waslike you can't just give me
antibiotics, can you?
They're like no, sorry.
So that was like.
I guess it started on theweekend, of course.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
So you have to wait until Monday morning.
Yeah, let's wait till it's alittle bit worse, yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
This is bad.
Let's let it fester for 48hours.
So then we take her in, theylook at it and we're like, oh
yeah, she's got a real inflamedpaw yeast infection.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Super nice about it.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Yeah, here's a bucket and some apple cider vinegar.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
Right.
So yeah, they give us theantibiotics all that stuff which
I was two days old or not twodays old, two days younger, when
I found out that pill pocketshave you seen those, oh yeah,
where you shove the pill in fordogs yeah, I mean, I know it's
just a treat the hole in it yeahand I'm like that's a ripoff,

(03:58):
I'm getting that.
That's genius yeah, and itworks, but anyway.
So we've got her on meds.
Oh, seems to be a little better, sorry.
So when we take her to theboarding place I guess she can
run around and have fun, butthen I guess I'm just going to
have to take the cone and belike Put it in the cone, put her

(04:20):
in the crate yeah.
Her hotel room or whatever itis.
Yeah, Put her in the cone.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
I crate yeah Her hotel room or whatever it is.
Yeah, put her in the cone, Iguess.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
But I thought this was funny.
When I was leaving the vet Iwas like, well, we're taking her
to the boarding place.
I was like I can't really tellthem to dry her paws off every
time, can I?
And the lady's like I mean youcan, you're paying for their
service.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
It's probably an extra charge.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
Probably.
It's probably $5 a day to drivePaul's Per Paul and then, but
anyway, I was like yeah, I justfeel weird telling them crazy
things.
And the vet told me that shehad another customer and they
take their dog to a boardingplace and that person found out

(05:04):
that their dog wasn't drinkingthe water.
They brought Fiji water.
They took their dog to aboarding place like a little
terrier, shih tzu or something,and dropped off Fiji water for
the dog.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Which is too expensive for me to drink.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
My face I was like what Feet For the dog.
Wow, so I guess trying pawsain't that crazy.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
No, because think about some of the instructions
some people come in there with.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
We left her diamond collar at home.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, wow.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
But anyway.
So I guess they're going tohave to do the pawing.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
It's fine, she's on antibiotics.
What are you going to do?

Speaker 1 (05:57):
For 14 days.

Speaker 2 (05:59):

I'm so sorry.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
I'm so sorry yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
So that'll be fun.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
When they see y'all packing do they get?
Nervous.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
No, they get excited.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Oh, because they know we're also packing and we're
going to the doggy place.
Yeah, because they like thatplace, right?

Speaker 1 (06:40):
They used to shake and not want to get out of the
car.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
And now they almost break the glass to get out of
the car.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
Well, at least they like where they're going.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
It's expensive, but they love it, so I'm like you
can't change places.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
No, you don't want to .

Speaker 1 (06:59):
I mean, if they like it, whatever.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
Yeah, do you try paws at your place?
Yeah, our dog used to be likesee one rolly bag, and she'd be
like Lose her mind no.
Yeah, she would almost makeherself sick.
She'd be so sad and nervous.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Maybe that's what Ray's doing it's like perfect.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
She heard you say Dollywood or something.
Yeah.
I guess, let's irritate thispaw.
Well, that'll be fun.

Speaker 1 (07:34):

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Oh, we did that.
We've never done the water park.
It was nice yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Which they might both be water parks, because it
might just be raining the wholetime.

lightning.
I can still go down a waterslide.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
I think so if it's pouring down rain, we'll just do
the water park.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
If they don't like, call it for lightning like
lifeguards.
Yeah, for lightning likelifeguards.
Yeah, because, um, I can'tremember how many years ago that

But you're doing it, but I'mhim and there was this thing on
there and I was like it felt alot like Beanie Babies or Jelly
Cat.
No, it's a new craze.
I didn't know about it.
Called La Boo Boo L-A-B-U-B-U.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
Is that when you stomp your toe in French.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
It's like when a little French baby hits a coffee
table it's got the littleboo-boo.
So yeah, so, but anyway, it's aworthless little stuffed animal
.
It's just a piece of garbageand it's in a bag and you open
it up and it's just astupid-looking looking little
thing that's got a hook and allthese crazy people are hooking

(25:17):
them on their purses oh, howmuch is it?
Fifty dollars I don't thinkthey're that expensive yeah but
it's just like celebrities areputting on.
Yeah, tiktok or whatever, andit's just just a big craze yeah,
can you get them?
So now they're putting them inlike arcades, like the claw
games?
Yes, so you got people going inthere.

(25:39):
They have stores set up, justI'm guessing.
I don't know if it started inJapan or China or wherever, but
like they were showing stores atdifferent places, just lo-bo-bo
stores and you go in andthey'll display them, but like
most of them are out, like youcan't get them yeah, they're out
of stock right.

(26:00):
So, and it's one of those thingsyou can't see it until you open
it.
And then you take it out andyou're like, oh, I got the blue
one with green eyes, whateverLike and is it I'm going to ask,
but I think I know the answerAre adults buying them?
Oh yeah, I didn't see a kid inthe thing.

Remember Beanie, baby craze,yeah, and everybody got the I
was an adult at that point, Likeyoung adult.

fighting outside stores for them.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
I was working at a hospital, like in an
administrative office not in themedical sense, but like and
there was a gift shop, becauseit was a hospital and every time
a new beanie baby would drop.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
Drop like a post Malone elf.
Yeah, drop the mic.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
All these employees would go get in line.
Well, they're for my daughter.
She collects them.
I'm like, I think she, I thinkyou collect them, but it was
white.
It makes sense, I'm like Ithink you collect them, but it
was white that makes sense.

Speaker 1 (27:17):

a Labubu is a small, fluffy and sometimes
mischievous-looking monstercharacter created by Hong Kong
