We swap jokes for heart as we trace how a terrier named Patsy reshaped our lives, and hand the mic to Mom to hear the legend of a this very special lady, from puppy chaos engine to the heart and soul of the ranch. We relive the infamous Tucson babysitting incident that ended in tears and humility, then follow the arc of a dog who demanded applause, made us laugh on cue, and quietly taught us structure, patience, and forgiveness. Between jokes and tangents, the through line holds: one small dog can change a family, a place, and a purpose.

Uh-huh.
Uh she has been mentioned beforeon the podcast.
Um, Patsy, my parents' dogPatsy.
Uh a very special lady is what Iwould call her if I had to
really boil it down.
SPEAKER_02 (04:58):
That's so nice and true.
SPEAKER_00 (05:00):
Yeah, you could say a lot of things about her.
Um she was uh well we we talkedabout she she really is kind of
the lineage if you go all theway back.
Getting to know her was whatprompted me to get my first dog
and my second dog, and thenultimately turned into not just
the ranch, uh, and all the catsand the stupid puppy.
(05:23):
But I mean everything.
Um the three of us sitting hereright now, you know, on the
ranch, talking about this, uhcomplaining about a puppy that
we never thought would be a partof our lives.
Uh and Patsy, you guys got herwhen she was quite wee.

I think she was eight about eight weeks when we
got her.
SPEAKER_00 (05:44):

Terrier, yes.
Let me try that again.

apart.
Um and I would liken her becauseuh to like if you were gonna
pick a brilliant kind of lookedlike a Karen Terrier with a
couple of years.
SPEAKER_02 (06:08):
Yes, she did look very much like a Karen Terrier.
SPEAKER_00 (06:11):
Did she have the attitude?
SPEAKER_02 (06:12):
Of a Karen or a terrier?
SPEAKER_03 (06:13):
Of a Karen.
SPEAKER_02 (06:14):
Uh yeah, actually.

SPEAKER_00 (06:32):
Um That's it.
SPEAKER_03 (06:37):
Turn off my mic.
SPEAKER_00 (06:38):
I've been trying to do that, like literally.
Uh I don't know if you know thisis an audition for a new host
right now, Mark.
SPEAKER_03 (06:45):
So yeah, yeah, we're trying to replace Ryan.
SPEAKER_00 (06:48):
All right.
Well, I'd like to see you runthe board over here.
You don't even know what theboard is, dude.
SPEAKER_03 (06:54):
I don't even know what it looks like.
All I see is your name up on theback of both these monitors.
Dell, Dell.
Yeah, that's a stupid joke.
So I kind of like it becauseit's what I see.
Here, let me take a picture.
No, nobody wants to see.
SPEAKER_00 (07:05):
Oh, so you could post it on the socials?
Yeah.
That I don't have the passwordsfor.
You you do.
Except for one.
And we talked about that.
I'm not taking the bait.
I just did.
Well, um, no, so so Patsy.
How uh before we get to thestory, how old do you reckon she
was when I met her?
SPEAKER_02 (07:26):
Oh goodness.
Uh nine weeks?
unknown (07:28):
Okay.
SPEAKER_02 (07:29):
Or nine or ten weeks.
It was very soon after we gother.
SPEAKER_00 (07:32):
Yeah.
Um, and would it be fair to say,just in general, that as a puppy
she was a terror.
Okay.
Yes.
I was gonna be absolutelyterror.
Or diplomatic about that'sright.
She was a handful.
Oh my goodness.
And well, at the time I was inTucson going to school, and you
(07:53):
guys live about three hours,three, four hours away, right?
Yeah.
And you had to come down therefor an appointment, I believe.
Right?
Yes.
And she was too young to leave,right?
She was too young to leave, yes,could not be left on her own.
So you got to drive, which uh Inever asked about the drive.
Do you remember how the drivewas?
SPEAKER_02 (08:11):
I don't remember the drive down there.
I do very much remember thedrive back.
Yes.
SPEAKER_00 (08:17):
So well, and you asked, like, you know, can I
drop her at your place?
Watch her for like an hour, hourand a half.
I'm like, pfft, two-pound puppy,you got it.
SPEAKER_02 (08:25):
Yeah, he was actually looking forward to it.
I was, yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (08:28):
Would you like to describe my state of mind and
then what everything else whenyou got back?
SPEAKER_02 (08:33):
Uh, the way I describe it is he was sitting on
the stairs in a fetal position,shaking a little bit, a few
tears.
And I said, What's what's goingon here?
I thought he'd be so happy whenI got back.
And he said, All she did all daylong was run around and shit all
over the house, take her home.
SPEAKER_01 (08:52):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (08:52):
He was terrified.
I didn't think he'd ever speakto a dog, even look at a dog.
SPEAKER_00 (08:56):
Yeah.
And I understood.
Oh well, I was just gonna ask,do you think I was being not at
all?
SPEAKER_02 (09:01):
Yeah, so if I'd have told him all that, he would have
said no about watching her.
So you know, it's something youhave to experience, right?
SPEAKER_00 (09:08):
So, yeah, that's that's another thing.
Glamas always lie, I guess, likeMark said, right?
Don't trust that one.
SPEAKER_02 (09:14):
Yep.
SPEAKER_00 (09:14):
Oh goodness, and uh well, you want to talk a little
bit more about because I meanthat was an hour and a half for
me.
That was like this first severalmany months for you.
How how was she such a pistol?
And like because I remember youwere real distraught.
SPEAKER_02 (09:31):
I was very distraught.
In fact, I at some point inmaybe within the first month or
six weeks, I decided that I hadto have help as far as training.
I'd never had to train a dogbefore.
You know, our dogs had alwayscome just come in the door and
they seemed okay.
SPEAKER_01 (09:44):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (09:45):
This one, not so much.
So I actually started lookingfor trainers, and she got so
bad, Patsy did, that when I tookher to the trainer, I was
telling her all these things,and the trainer said, Well, the
only way I'm going to be able todo this is to keep her here for
a couple weeks.
And if you could have felt theelation that I felt.
My brand new puppy, you want tokeep her for two weeks?
(10:07):
Can you keep can you keep herfor four?
SPEAKER_00 (10:09):
So yeah.
So she had inpatient treatment.
SPEAKER_02 (10:12):
Oh, yeah.
Well, the the weird part aboutit was then she we get all these
things done, get getting readyto leave her there.
And she asks about herimmunizations.
Well, she was so young that shehadn't had all her
immunizations, so she couldn'tkeep her.
SPEAKER_00 (10:25):
Oh my gosh, and you must have been.
SPEAKER_02 (10:27):
I was, I think I cried all the way home, not
sure.
But when I did take her back,which was probably a month or so
later, I walked in the door, andthe first thing she said, she
gets a big smile on her face,and she said, I'm so happy to
see you.
I was sure you're gonna get ridof that dog.
Oh because I was so upset whenshe saw me.
SPEAKER_00 (10:45):
Yeah, so I mean, this is a seasoned professional.
SPEAKER_02 (10:48):
Absolutely.
SPEAKER_00 (10:48):
And I mean and the thing, the thing is, this is why
it's good to have both of ustalking about it.
Is I don't think people reallybelieve you.
Like how bad, how bad she was asa puppy.
SPEAKER_02 (10:59):
She was really hard, very difficult.
SPEAKER_00 (11:02):
Yeah.
Um is there a little bit of aPTSD component to dealing with
Hartley now?
Or not even on that level.
SPEAKER_02 (11:12):
Well, it's like I've told you, it's even a little bit
more than PTSD because she wasat the most at that time five
pounds during the that process.
Hartley is what, is he 55 now?
I'm serious, right?
SPEAKER_00 (11:26):
Uh the last time I waited him, he was 52.
52 pounds.
Was about a week ago, and theweek before that he was 42.
SPEAKER_02 (11:33):
So yeah.
She was probably a little easierto handle because I could put
her in a crate easily.
I could we had a little pen inthe house.
So it it initially this didn'tbring back PTSD, but this
morning we might have crossedthat that uh line.
Yeah, he was a little over thetop this morning while you were
not out there with us.
SPEAKER_00 (11:51):
Yeah, had to have a little chat.
SPEAKER_02 (11:52):
A little chat.
SPEAKER_00 (11:53):
Yeah, I hear you.
So uh I mean the punchline toPatsy being such a bad puppy is
she we turned into the mostamazing dog.
And I I mean, bless your heart,uh sticking with it and getting
her there.
Um and how how old do you thinkshe was when you turned the cor
(12:14):
when she turned the corner?
SPEAKER_02 (12:15):
It really wasn't that bad.
When I think back, it wasprobably at the six-month mark,
she got a lot better.
And she probably was betterbefore that, even.
Um, but I remember the trainertelling me around two, between
two, two and a half, and I Iwant to put a gun in my mouth.
I mean, I just couldn't evenimagine, or in hers, I don't
know which one of us, but yeah,it was not it didn't take very
(12:36):
long.
And her a lot of her issues weresecurity issues, I believe,
because she was a pet store pet.
Oh yeah, and that was somethingI would never do that again, but
I think that was a lot of herprobably, yes, yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (12:49):
Um, and so of course, the next time I saw her,
uh I would imagine the next timeI saw her, you know, she was she
was a good dog and she was a fundog.
And as I got to know her, ofcourse, like I said, that led me
to like dogs enough to want toget one.
And I ended up with Milo, whowas born a 70-year-old grumpy
man.
SPEAKER_02 (13:09):
Oh, so awesome though.
The best 70-year-old man.
SPEAKER_00 (13:13):
He was a special guy.
Um and Patsy lived seven 16years or 17 years.
SPEAKER_02 (13:22):
17 years.
Not enough.
That not long enough.
That's how long.
SPEAKER_00 (13:25):
It's never enough.
SPEAKER_02 (13:26):
No.
SPEAKER_00 (13:26):
And uh so one of the things that we we have done uh
here on the ranch is we've umexcuse me.
We have uh started to name orhad started from the beginning
really, to name certainlandmarks, if you will, uh
around the ranch about ourfamily dogs, the dogs we have
(13:50):
had history with.
And I believe Patsy had thehonor of the the first n part of
the ranch named after her, uh,which was Patsy's pasture.
SPEAKER_01 (14:01):
Yes.
SPEAKER_00 (14:01):
Oh, that's where that came from.
Yeah, you didn't know that,Mark.
SPEAKER_02 (14:04):
Isn't that a beautiful gesture, Mark?
SPEAKER_00 (14:06):
It is, yeah, especially from Ryan.
And I'll give you props forpaying attention.
Um since you're just nowlearning that.
I have a no-baked cookie.
SPEAKER_02 (14:17):
Prairie dog.
SPEAKER_00 (14:19):
You are a no-baked cookie, you know what?
Uh yeah, and um it was uh yeah,and well, uh uh you've heard the
story.
I don't know if Mark, you'veheard the story about um when we
christened uh Patsy's pasture.
(14:40):
Yeah, and I don't remember whatthe reason was, Mom, that you
couldn't come, but there wassome something, some reason,
because you were supposed to bethere, uh come out with Mike.
Right.
And so it was me and Rob andMike, and uh, you know, we
decided, of course, that it wasPatsy's pasture, but uh what I'm
talking about is we set a postand we had a little wooden
wooden sign made.
(15:01):
Uh Ryan makes the signs actuallyhandmade signs.
SPEAKER_02 (15:04):
They're really nice too.
SPEAKER_00 (15:05):
Had them made by myself, yeah.
And so we set the post and putit in there, and uh it was it
was a very sweet, uh, very sweetthing.
Um and ever I'll say this, hopeI don't embarrass you, Mom.
Every time we drive by or walkby Patsy's pasture, you get a
little get a little misty.
SPEAKER_02 (15:25):
Oh, I do, and I often do as well.
SPEAKER_00 (15:27):
Um and I oft I think so much about how if not for
her, uh none of us would behere.
Right.
All these dogs who wouldn't havehomes, setting aside Hartley
could have lived without that.
And all these cats and all thethings.
Um and uh unfortunately, youknow, a few months back we lost
(15:48):
our sweet girl Dolly.
A couple months before that welost little Charlie, and that
sucks, but what I think warmsour hearts is that those two
were laid to rest at Patsy'spasture.
Yes.
And we know that she's lookingout for and uh Milo, well, Milo.
(16:12):
Let's talk about Milo and thatwas something else, yes.
So how old do you well I got himin 2010?
So how old would she have been?
SPEAKER_02 (16:24):
She would have been eleven?
unknown (16:29):
No.
SPEAKER_02 (16:29):
No, she wouldn't have been that when did I get
her?
I got her in I can't you I can'tdo math.
You're the math minor.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (16:37):
No math minor.
Don't tell people that becauseyou can't do math.
SPEAKER_02 (16:40):
I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_00 (16:41):
Um, so uh uh I was gonna say it was like th 03 or
04 when I had that traumaticincident where you left her with
me for 20 minutes.
SPEAKER_02 (16:49):
Okay, okay, that sounds about right.
SPEAKER_00 (16:52):
Yeah, so it was six years, six or seven.
Um so I got Milo and got himfrom the pound.
Um and he was he was of aspecial guy, but man, he was a
grump.
He was just grumpy and lazy.
If he had got a rocking chairand a pipe be on the deck, and
(17:14):
that's all he did, he would havebeen happy.
And he was not he was nevermean, like dangerous mean, but
he you know, he put the growlsto any other dog that came
around him.
He'd seen some things, that boy.
He'd seen some shit, yeah.
Uh and he just, you know, he Iwould say at best, except for
(17:34):
Oakley, because it did becomeclose, at best, Milo tolerated
any other dog, right?
At best.
Uh and when I hadn't had himthat long, less than a year, I
think, I flew from Texas toArizona and took Milo with me.
Um, which side note, it was uhnot a connection fly connecting
flight, but when the planelanded West Texas and got more
(17:55):
gas, I guess.
And so we had to stop.
And I had him in a little cratethingy under the seat.
And I I I got up to go to the uhto the restroom, and he starts.
He's throwing a fit, and thensomebody one of the past, like,
oh, it's okay, little guy.
He's like, and I'm like, it'sfine, he's fine.
(18:17):
Leave him alone, please, for thelove of God.
But anyway, um uh I I think itwas both of you guys.
My parents picked me up at theairport in Phoenix, and uh I got
him out of the crate and wentout, took him up to your to
y'all's house, and he got out ofthe car, and Patsy was coming
out of the house, and I want tosay it took about 2.6 seconds
(18:41):
before they were BFFs.
SPEAKER_02 (18:43):
Absolutely.
Minute one and always were, andalways were.
SPEAKER_00 (18:48):
They had a for him being such a grumpy gus and her
being such a such a sweetheart,for some reason they really had
a connection.
They really did, yes.
Uh it was really it was reallycute.
Um Mark, uh, do you have anyquestions about anything?
SPEAKER_03 (19:08):
Are you still driving?
Yeah, when I get quiet likethat, it's it's the stories like
this that just make you lovebeing here and a part of the
ranch.
Especially feeling's not mutual.
Yeah, I know especially withHartley.
Uh and and just knowing that,you know, Patsy's got a spot
here, and then the the ones thathave passed away, but yeah,
(19:29):
knowing that the animals thatare rescued here get to spend
the rest of their lives here onthis ranch, and it just it's you
know, for me being the smart assthat I am, it just I get quiet
because it just it's almostsaddening to know that you know
they get to spend the rest oftheir life here and enjoy it.
SPEAKER_00 (19:47):
Yeah, uh saddening's not the right word.
SPEAKER_03 (19:50):
I d I didn't have a big word like you do.
SPEAKER_00 (19:52):
Saddening does have a lot of letters in it.
Um especially for me.
It it it it it's the like ithits you in the feels, right?
Yeah, yeah, it's uh and it'sit's the that's I mean,
hopefully people kind of getthough we're total dumbasses,
that there's a lot of heart thatgoes into this uh every single
day.
(20:13):
Yes.
And uh I guess sometimes we haveto I guess if we're talking
about anything serious, Mark'sgot nothing to add.
That's what we're learning here.
No, like I said, I know we I'menjoying the story.
Stop yelling at me.
SPEAKER_03 (20:26):
I'm just Oh my god, if I was yelling at you, you'd
know it.
SPEAKER_02 (20:30):
Well, Mark, one of the things too is Ryan and I
have talked about this that youand Christina ending up here is
not an accident.
SPEAKER_03 (20:38):
I I don't think it is.
SPEAKER_02 (20:39):
No, this place has so much heart, it's magical,
it's wonderful.
It's like no place I've everbeen, and this is where you guys
belong.
You're gonna be a part of it,which I think is really cool.
SPEAKER_03 (20:49):
And to be a part of it is is so wonderful for us,
you know.
Not knowing where we were gonnaend up when you know she
retired, and then for Ryan tooffer for us to come down and be
a part of the ranch is just it'sjust wonderful for us.
We you know are grateful everyday for it.
So, wait, you guys are staying?
SPEAKER_02 (21:07):
Oh, you invited them to live here, not me.
Okay, I didn't know all this.
SPEAKER_03 (21:12):

SPEAKER_02 (21:13):
Oh I know about that.
SPEAKER_00 (21:17):
You know what, sir.
Well, speaking of that, um well,I did want to mention, I mean,
honestly, if we sat here andtalked about Patsy without
limitation, we'd just go on allday.
Yes.
I mean, there's not enough youcould say about her.
And one of the things thatalways has stuck with me about
her, sp what you have told meabout her, is and I've never
(21:38):
heard anybody say this about adog, she had a sense of humor.
SPEAKER_02 (21:41):
Yes, she did, very much so.
She loved to make people laugh.
She loved to play and try to,you know, outsmart you.
She was really and now you I'msure now you see it in a lot of
your dogs, right?
Or all of them.
SPEAKER_00 (21:53):
Uh well, I don't I yeah, I see I see a lot of those
different things.
Um Was there one time where shewas doing the whole family was
there?
She was doing tricks.
SPEAKER_02 (22:07):
Yes, it was when you were there.
SPEAKER_00 (22:08):
Yes.
SPEAKER_02 (22:08):
Yeah, Ryan was there on a on a trip and we were all
the whole family was there.
And of course the dogs werealways the center of the
tension.
And she was doing tricks andwhatnot.
So she did some trick andeverybody in the room clapped
except for Ryan.
And she stopped what she wasdoing and turned around and
looked at him.
Like, are you kidding me?
(22:30):
And he had to clap for her.
That was her in a nutshell.
Right?
SPEAKER_00 (22:35):
Yes, she well, yes.
Uh among many other lovelythings, she was a ham.
Yeah, she was a ham bone.
Total ham.
Um, and she uh sh you she whenyou she got a brother at some
point, Kevin.
Kevin, yeah.
Y'all's dog Kevin, who's he's alittle cute little piker.
SPEAKER_01 (22:55):
Yes.
SPEAKER_00 (22:55):
He's adorable.
Um, and uh, you know and thennow unfortunately we lost Patsy
some years back, and uh now youguys have another dog named
Lexi.
SPEAKER_02 (23:06):
Right.
SPEAKER_00 (23:06):
Which you were meant to have.
Yes, absolutely.
SPEAKER_02 (23:09):
Um whose name was Patsy if you recall.
Yes, yes.
SPEAKER_00 (23:13):
Which was just weird.
Very strange.
Because it was one of thosethings where you were like, you
know, may maybe it's time we'llget another, you know, get
another dog.
SPEAKER_01 (23:20):
Right.
SPEAKER_00 (23:21):
And it's just like I I'm sure you had seen other dogs
come up, and I was like, Oh,Patsy, oh wait a minute.
And I think I don't know if thisis true, but I do I think you
had like sort of an instant drawto her, despite the name when
you saw a picture of her.
SPEAKER_02 (23:34):
Actually, I had an instant draw to her from her
picture, and when I saw thename, it kind of made me pull
back.
Like, wow.
SPEAKER_00 (23:40):
Yes.
SPEAKER_02 (23:40):
Never known another dog named Patsy.
SPEAKER_00 (23:42):
And yeah, and uh Kevin's always been such a great
dog.
Yes, and Lexi's an amazing dogtoo.
Right.
But one thing I I rememberalways remember about her is
that's not what she was uhbilled to you as.
You were told she was gonna bequite a difficult dog, Lexi.
SPEAKER_02 (23:59):
Yes, I was.
She was a rescue and she hadbeen rescued or gotten somehow
by an an elderly woman who myrescuer had told, I will not
give you a terrier.
Because terriers are, if youknow terriers, I mean they're a
little bit much, right?
What'd you say?
SPEAKER_00 (24:16):
I've I've I've met good words.
I've met a couple you're gonnastart that shit now.
SPEAKER_02 (24:22):
I'm sorry, well, I'm just saying that's how they make
you, right?
They make you crazy.
SPEAKER_00 (24:25):
Oh, they make yeah, totally crazy.
SPEAKER_02 (24:26):
Can make you crazy.
And um when she got past orLexi, she said Lexi wouldn't
make eye contact.
Lexi had IBS, horrible irritablebowel syndrome.
No bad.
She was just a mess.
SPEAKER_01 (24:40):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (24:41):
And uh she told me that when she got her, she had
this feeling that some of thosethings are probably not really
what she was underneath, andthat's what ended up being.
SPEAKER_00 (24:48):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (24:49):
She's just really another great dog.
SPEAKER_00 (24:52):
Yeah, yeah.
They all are, and that's thepoint.
It it is, and the other pointthat I always think about too is
you know the lineage or whateverthey call it, is that you know,
if not, you know, but for Patsy,you wouldn't have probably have
Kevin.
No, you know, Lexi, and again,all of this.
Um and uh but terriers.
(25:14):
I mean, terriers are great andawful because they're just I
mean, they're incredibly smart.
Um and they just excuse me.
Yeah, are you okay over there,buddy?
SPEAKER_03 (25:27):
Yeah, my straw got stuck.
SPEAKER_02 (25:29):
Jesus doing that while we're on the street.
SPEAKER_00 (25:31):
You know that we're doing a show, right?
Wait, dare I ask where did itget stuck?
SPEAKER_02 (25:37):
Good question.
SPEAKER_00 (25:38):
Oh god.
One thing I'll say about um Ithink this applies to a lot of
terriers, at least that I'veknown, I think you've known, uh
is because I used to say thisabout Milo all the time.
I think it's true you and Patsyand stuff.
Uh Milo nobody else could havehad Milo.
SPEAKER_01 (25:57):
No.
SPEAKER_00 (25:58):
And Milo couldn't have had anybody else.
Right.
Like they're they're often thekinds of dogs that you you have
to get them personally, andthere's only certain people that
can get them.
Right.
SPEAKER_02 (26:09):
And uh That's where you were going with the thing
about Lexi, and I totally wentthe other direction.
What what what do you mean?
Well, the the rescuer had toldme that they'd had many people
inquire about her because of herpicture.
SPEAKER_00 (26:21):
Yeah, yeah, and that was right.
I was setting setting you up fora compliment and then you
changed the subject.
SPEAKER_02 (26:25):
Oh, I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_00 (26:26):
No, but it is true.
Um she w that uh the the therescuer was very selective about
very yeah.
Um and r and good.
You know, very re thank godbecause you well know, uh with
if anybody else had gotten Mile,there'd be a very good chance he
would have been put down.
SPEAKER_02 (26:46):
Or taken back.
Or taken back.
Right.
SPEAKER_00 (26:48):
Because he wasn't dangerous, but he could be a
real dick.
Yes.
And he growled a lot andeverything else.
And uh, you know, so it's justand in fact when we when we
adopted Milo, um we we were atthe counter, like checking out
or whatever you call it, andthis lady came in with a
printout from their website ofhim and said, I'd like to see
(27:11):
this dog.
And just you know, not to bejudgy, but that bitch would not
be able to handle Milo.
Right.
And they're like, Oh, I'm sorry,it's just you know, he's just
been adopted out.
She's like, Oh, and she looksaround and she's like, Oh, is
that him?
And then my hit, I'm like, getyour whore mouth and your hands
away from my puppy.
This is my dog now.
Wait till the card clear, yeah,this is my dog now.
(27:34):
But uh, and it's funny how quickyou go there with my doggy.
Uh, and he just like Milo wasmisunderstood.
He was and and terriers oftenare.
And I'll I'll use Finley as anexample, the opposite of a dick,
and the opposite of Grumpy, buthe is a certain kind of
personality.
He's very quirky, and you haveto you have to get him.
(27:57):
Um but they always these dogsalways tend to be the most uh
interesting and special ones.
And and I know the implicationthere is that they're not all
special, and they're not,because we mentioned Harley.
SPEAKER_01 (28:11):
That's Harley is special.
SPEAKER_00 (28:13):
Yeah, yeah.
Um, but uh I I I want to say I'mreally glad that you were able
to do be here for this episodebecause I very much when we
talked about Patsy, I very muchwanted to hear from you, and so
I'm glad we could do it whileyou're here.
SPEAKER_02 (28:29):
I appreciate you letting me do this, Ryan.
It brings back so much.
Yeah, and it reminds me of howhow amazing you are to do what
you do, and I want to just saytoo, I've said this to you many
times.
I loved my dogs, I love themvery much, like people.
But you have a connection withdogs and an ability with dogs
that no one else in our familyhas.
Maybe Robbie.
Robbie might one day.
SPEAKER_01 (28:49):
Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (28:50):
But you innately know what to do with dogs, you
innately know Milo.
You said he was a lot to handle,and I remember a call I got one
time where he'd gotten bitten byhim.
SPEAKER_00 (28:58):
Oh, yep.
You remember that?
Thank God, yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (29:01):
And he had gotten trapped under a bed and got
under bed when he was reallybitten.
Really bitten, yeah.
This was not a playbite.
Yeah.
And uh I said to the first thingI said, even loving dogs as I
do, uh you might have to get ridof him.
You can't put up with that.
And and instantly Ryan said hewas still upset, he was still
bleeding, all the things.
Well, mom, he there's somereason for this.
(29:22):
He didn't just do this becausehe's a bad dog.
And you've known those kindswhen you see a dog, when you
meet a dog, you know them andyou can work with them, and I
just think that's such a gift,and it's been such an amazing
thing to be able to watch youwork with these dogs.
SPEAKER_00 (29:36):
Well, thank you.
I really that means a lot.
Uh and I we joked earlier, Milo,Milo had seen some shit, and
unfortunately, the not funnypart of that was is he had not
been treated well.
No, he hadn't.
And I don't we don't know hishistory, but it was evident.
And the thing that he it wasn'tentirely me, I don't give full
credit.
The thing that that little shitdid is after he bit me, I you
(30:01):
know, I I kind of jumped back.
He came out with ears down, taildown, and he came over to me and
apologized.
And he just felt so bad aboutit.
And, you know, that's one ofthose things that uh throughout
his life there were there wereevents where he never bit
anybody again, but he you know,he snapped at him in certain
(30:24):
situations.
A couple I'm thinking ofspecifically, where he got put
in timeout around the family,remember?
And we let him out and he wouldgo apologize.
SPEAKER_02 (30:34):
He sure would.
SPEAKER_00 (30:34):
Like he he knew he'd done something wrong, he just
couldn't control it.
Um kind of like it's not likeMark, because Mark doesn't
apologize.
Well, yeah, I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_03 (30:44):
That doesn't that doesn't count.
I'm getting ahead.
Getting them in that way.
You can't preload those badones.
Yes, I can't, I just did.
SPEAKER_00 (30:53):
Um uh but again, thank appreciate you saying
that.
And again, thanks for do thanksfor talking about her.
Thank you.
It's it's nice.
Yeah, she's a special girl.
Um and uh you know, when despitethe fact that Christina's really
mad at you and stuff orwhatever, Mark, she did have a
good suggestion a few episodesback about more background on

He said he said, Yeah, let's dothat.
And then I immediately realized,well, I'd have to do the whole
fucking thing and set up thepoll and keep track of it.
Exactly.
And and then ultimately it wouldjust be never, like you said.
SPEAKER_03 (35:56):
Yes.

Nothing, nothing, perfect puppy.
Typical glamour, she's nottelling the truth.
SPEAKER_01 (03:30):
Yes, yes.
SPEAKER_00 (03:32):
So I'll I'll tell the truth then.
Um I think it was today, right,mom, that you were like, I think
I'm starting to see how you canget on your nerves.
A little bit, yeah, a littlebit, and and he is great, he is
really very, very well, and he'sonly he's not even six months
yet, and so he's just reallywell behaved.
But oh god, just nonstop.
SPEAKER_02 (03:52):
He's full of it.
SPEAKER_00 (03:54):
Full of everything.
I mean, he's all the timeeverywhere.
It just uh if he's not draggingone of the dogs across the deck
by their collar, he's trying totake your shoe off.
SPEAKER_02 (04:04):
Wreck your tictoe tac-toe game, yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (04:07):
Like find new ways to get your attention.
Yes.
Uh he was out there helping youum in the dog.
Oh gosh.
SPEAKER_02 (04:14):
Keeping me uh it'd be like having an air
conditioner, sort of, exceptreally slobbery right in front
of my face.
Yes, exactly.
Oh my gosh.
SPEAKER_00 (04:24):
Um, and yeah, so he's he's been uh he's been a
lot of fun, but he is a he's atotal handful, and I don't know
where he gets energy from.
He just goes.
Um and it reminds me of the lastpuppy I got to know pretty well.
Maybe you know where I'm goingwith this, Mom.
I think so.
(04:45):
Uh-huh.
Uh she has been mentioned beforeon the podcast.
Um, Patsy, my parents' dogPatsy.
Uh a very special lady is what Iwould call her if I had to
really boil it down.
SPEAKER_02 (04:58):
That's so nice and true.
SPEAKER_00 (05:00):
Yeah, you could say a lot of things about her.
Um she was uh well we we talkedabout she she really is kind of
the lineage if you go all theway back.
Getting to know her was whatprompted me to get my first dog
and my second dog, and thenultimately turned into not just
the ranch, uh, and all the catsand the stupid puppy.
(05:23):
But I mean everything.
Um the three of us sitting hereright now, you know, on the
ranch, talking about this, uhcomplaining about a puppy that
we never thought would be a partof our lives.
Uh and Patsy, you guys got herwhen she was quite wee.
Was it six weeks?
SPEAKER_02 (05:41):
I think she was eight about eight weeks when we
got her.
SPEAKER_00 (05:44):
In like what, two pounds, probably?
SPEAKER_02 (05:46):
Probably about two pounds, a little tiny thing.
SPEAKER_00 (05:48):
Yeah, and uh terrier.
SPEAKER_02 (05:50):
Terrier, yes.
Let me try that again.
Terrier, yes.
SPEAKER_00 (05:57):
Terrier, yes, terrier damn uh ripped her
apart.
Um and I would liken her becauseuh to like if you were gonna
pick a brilliant kind of lookedlike a Karen Terrier with a
couple of years.
SPEAKER_02 (06:08):
Yes, she did look very much like a Karen Terrier.
SPEAKER_00 (06:11):
Did she have the attitude?
SPEAKER_02 (06:12):
Of a Karen or a terrier?
SPEAKER_03 (06:13):
Of a Karen.
SPEAKER_02 (06:14):
Uh yeah, actually.
What do you have to say aboutthat, Mark?
SPEAKER_03 (06:21):
Uh yeah.
Uh elaborate.
Yes.
No, I I know too many Karen's,and that's actually their name.
SPEAKER_02 (06:27):
Oh my, what's he missing?
Awkward.
He's this is very awkward.
SPEAKER_00 (06:32):
Um That's it.
SPEAKER_03 (06:37):
Turn off my mic.
SPEAKER_00 (06:38):
I've been trying to do that, like literally.
Uh I don't know if you know thisis an audition for a new host
right now, Mark.
SPEAKER_03 (06:45):
So yeah, yeah, we're trying to replace Ryan.
SPEAKER_00 (06:48):
All right.
Well, I'd like to see you runthe board over here.
You don't even know what theboard is, dude.
SPEAKER_03 (06:54):
I don't even know what it looks like.
All I see is your name up on theback of both these monitors.
Dell, Dell.
Yeah, that's a stupid joke.
So I kind of like it becauseit's what I see.
Here, let me take a picture.
No, nobody wants to see.
SPEAKER_00 (07:05):
Oh, so you could post it on the socials?
Yeah.
That I don't have the passwordsfor.
You you do.
Except for one.
And we talked about that.
I'm not taking the bait.
I just did.
Well, um, no, so so Patsy.
How uh before we get to thestory, how old do you reckon she
was when I met her?
SPEAKER_02 (07:26):
Oh goodness.
Uh nine weeks?
unknown (07:28):
Okay.
SPEAKER_02 (07:29):
Or nine or ten weeks.
It was very soon after we gother.
SPEAKER_00 (07:32):
Yeah.
Um, and would it be fair to say,just in general, that as a puppy
she was a terror.
Okay.
Yes.
I was gonna be absolutelyterror.
Or diplomatic about that'sright.
She was a handful.
Oh my goodness.
And well, at the time I was inTucson going to school, and you
(07:53):
guys live about three hours,three, four hours away, right?
Yeah.
And you had to come down therefor an appointment, I believe.
Right?
Yes.
And she was too young to leave,right?
She was too young to leave, yes,could not be left on her own.
So you got to drive, which uh Inever asked about the drive.
Do you remember how the drivewas?
SPEAKER_02 (08:11):
I don't remember the drive down there.
I do very much remember thedrive back.
Yes.
SPEAKER_00 (08:17):
So well, and you asked, like, you know, can I
drop her at your place?
Watch her for like an hour, hourand a half.
I'm like, pfft, two-pound puppy,you got it.
SPEAKER_02 (08:25):
Yeah, he was actually looking forward to it.
I was, yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (08:28):
Would you like to describe my state of mind and
then what everything else whenyou got back?
SPEAKER_02 (08:33):
Uh, the way I describe it is he was sitting on
the stairs in a fetal position,shaking a little bit, a few
tears.
And I said, What's what's goingon here?
I thought he'd be so happy whenI got back.
And he said, All she did all daylong was run around and shit all
over the house, take her home.
SPEAKER_01 (08:52):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (08:52):
He was terrified.
I didn't think he'd ever speakto a dog, even look at a dog.
SPEAKER_00 (08:56):
Yeah.
And I understood.
Oh well, I was just gonna ask,do you think I was being not at
all?
SPEAKER_02 (09:01):
Yeah, so if I'd have told him all that, he would have
said no about watching her.
So you know, it's something youhave to experience, right?
SPEAKER_00 (09:08):
So, yeah, that's that's another thing.
Glamas always lie, I guess, likeMark said, right?
Don't trust that one.
SPEAKER_02 (09:14):
Yep.
SPEAKER_00 (09:14):
Oh goodness, and uh well, you want to talk a little
bit more about because I meanthat was an hour and a half for
me.
That was like this first severalmany months for you.
How how was she such a pistol?
And like because I remember youwere real distraught.
SPEAKER_02 (09:31):
I was very distraught.
In fact, I at some point inmaybe within the first month or
six weeks, I decided that I hadto have help as far as training.
I'd never had to train a dogbefore.
You know, our dogs had alwayscome just come in the door and
they seemed okay.
SPEAKER_01 (09:44):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (09:45):
This one, not so much.
So I actually started lookingfor trainers, and she got so
bad, Patsy did, that when I tookher to the trainer, I was
telling her all these things,and the trainer said, Well, the
only way I'm going to be able todo this is to keep her here for
a couple weeks.
And if you could have felt theelation that I felt.
My brand new puppy, you want tokeep her for two weeks?
(10:07):
Can you keep can you keep herfor four?
SPEAKER_00 (10:09):
So yeah.
So she had inpatient treatment.
SPEAKER_02 (10:12):
Oh, yeah.
Well, the the weird part aboutit was then she we get all these
things done, get getting readyto leave her there.
And she asks about herimmunizations.
Well, she was so young that shehadn't had all her
immunizations, so she couldn'tkeep her.
SPEAKER_00 (10:25):
Oh my gosh, and you must have been.
SPEAKER_02 (10:27):
I was, I think I cried all the way home, not
sure.
But when I did take her back,which was probably a month or so
later, I walked in the door, andthe first thing she said, she
gets a big smile on her face,and she said, I'm so happy to
see you.
I was sure you're gonna get ridof that dog.
Oh because I was so upset whenshe saw me.
SPEAKER_00 (10:45):
Yeah, so I mean, this is a seasoned professional.
SPEAKER_02 (10:48):
Absolutely.
SPEAKER_00 (10:48):
And I mean and the thing, the thing is, this is why
it's good to have both of ustalking about it.
Is I don't think people reallybelieve you.
Like how bad, how bad she was asa puppy.
SPEAKER_02 (10:59):
She was really hard, very difficult.
SPEAKER_00 (11:02):
Yeah.
Um is there a little bit of aPTSD component to dealing with
Hartley now?
Or not even on that level.
SPEAKER_02 (11:12):
Well, it's like I've told you, it's even a little bit
more than PTSD because she wasat the most at that time five
pounds during the that process.
Hartley is what, is he 55 now?
I'm serious, right?
SPEAKER_00 (11:26):
Uh the last time I waited him, he was 52.
52 pounds.
Was about a week ago, and theweek before that he was 42.
SPEAKER_02 (11:33):
So yeah.
She was probably a little easierto handle because I could put
her in a crate easily.
I could we had a little pen inthe house.
So it it initially this didn'tbring back PTSD, but this
morning we might have crossedthat that uh line.
Yeah, he was a little over thetop this morning while you were
not out there with us.
SPEAKER_00 (11:51):
Yeah, had to have a little chat.
SPEAKER_02 (11:52):
A little chat.
SPEAKER_00 (11:53):
Yeah, I hear you.
So uh I mean the punchline toPatsy being such a bad puppy is
she we turned into the mostamazing dog.
And I I mean, bless your heart,uh sticking with it and getting
her there.
Um and how how old do you thinkshe was when you turned the cor
(12:14):
when she turned the corner?
SPEAKER_02 (12:15):
It really wasn't that bad.
When I think back, it wasprobably at the six-month mark,
she got a lot better.
And she probably was betterbefore that, even.
Um, but I remember the trainertelling me around two, between
two, two and a half, and I Iwant to put a gun in my mouth.
I mean, I just couldn't evenimagine, or in hers, I don't
know which one of us, but yeah,it was not it didn't take very
(12:36):
long.
And her a lot of her issues weresecurity issues, I believe,
because she was a pet store pet.
Oh yeah, and that was somethingI would never do that again, but
I think that was a lot of herprobably, yes, yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (12:49):
Um, and so of course, the next time I saw her,
uh I would imagine the next timeI saw her, you know, she was she
was a good dog and she was a fundog.
And as I got to know her, ofcourse, like I said, that led me
to like dogs enough to want toget one.
And I ended up with Milo, whowas born a 70-year-old grumpy
man.
SPEAKER_02 (13:09):
Oh, so awesome though.
The best 70-year-old man.
SPEAKER_00 (13:13):
He was a special guy.
Um and Patsy lived seven 16years or 17 years.
SPEAKER_02 (13:22):
17 years.
Not enough.
That not long enough.
That's how long.
SPEAKER_00 (13:25):
It's never enough.
SPEAKER_02 (13:26):
No.
SPEAKER_00 (13:26):
And uh so one of the things that we we have done uh
here on the ranch is we've umexcuse me.
We have uh started to name orhad started from the beginning
really, to name certainlandmarks, if you will, uh
around the ranch about ourfamily dogs, the dogs we have
(13:50):
had history with.
And I believe Patsy had thehonor of the the first n part of
the ranch named after her, uh,which was Patsy's pasture.
SPEAKER_01 (14:01):
Yes.
SPEAKER_00 (14:01):
Oh, that's where that came from.
Yeah, you didn't know that,Mark.
SPEAKER_02 (14:04):
Isn't that a beautiful gesture, Mark?
SPEAKER_00 (14:06):
It is, yeah, especially from Ryan.
And I'll give you props forpaying attention.
Um since you're just nowlearning that.
I have a no-baked cookie.
SPEAKER_02 (14:17):
Prairie dog.
SPEAKER_00 (14:19):
You are a no-baked cookie, you know what?
Uh yeah, and um it was uh yeah,and well, uh uh you've heard the
story.
I don't know if Mark, you'veheard the story about um when we
christened uh Patsy's pasture.
(14:40):
Yeah, and I don't remember whatthe reason was, Mom, that you
couldn't come, but there wassome something, some reason,
because you were supposed to bethere, uh come out with Mike.
Right.
And so it was me and Rob andMike, and uh, you know, we
decided, of course, that it wasPatsy's pasture, but uh what I'm
talking about is we set a postand we had a little wooden
wooden sign made.
(15:01):
Uh Ryan makes the signs actuallyhandmade signs.
SPEAKER_02 (15:04):
They're really nice too.
SPEAKER_00 (15:05):
Had them made by myself, yeah.
And so we set the post and putit in there, and uh it was it
was a very sweet, uh, very sweetthing.
Um and ever I'll say this, hopeI don't embarrass you, Mom.
Every time we drive by or walkby Patsy's pasture, you get a
little get a little misty.
SPEAKER_02 (15:25):
Oh, I do, and I often do as well.
SPEAKER_00 (15:27):
Um and I oft I think so much about how if not for
her, uh none of us would behere.
Right.
All these dogs who wouldn't havehomes, setting aside Hartley
could have lived without that.
And all these cats and all thethings.
Um and uh unfortunately, youknow, a few months back we lost
(15:48):
our sweet girl Dolly.
A couple months before that welost little Charlie, and that
sucks, but what I think warmsour hearts is that those two
were laid to rest at Patsy'spasture.
Yes.
And we know that she's lookingout for and uh Milo, well, Milo.
(16:12):
Let's talk about Milo and thatwas something else, yes.
So how old do you well I got himin 2010?
So how old would she have been?
SPEAKER_02 (16:24):
She would have been eleven?
unknown (16:29):
No.
SPEAKER_02 (16:29):
No, she wouldn't have been that when did I get
her?
I got her in I can't you I can'tdo math.
You're the math minor.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (16:37):
No math minor.
Don't tell people that becauseyou can't do math.
SPEAKER_02 (16:40):
I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_00 (16:41):
Um, so uh uh I was gonna say it was like th 03 or
04 when I had that traumaticincident where you left her with
me for 20 minutes.
SPEAKER_02 (16:49):
Okay, okay, that sounds about right.
SPEAKER_00 (16:52):
Yeah, so it was six years, six or seven.
Um so I got Milo and got himfrom the pound.
Um and he was he was of aspecial guy, but man, he was a
grump.
He was just grumpy and lazy.
If he had got a rocking chairand a pipe be on the deck, and
(17:14):
that's all he did, he would havebeen happy.
And he was not he was nevermean, like dangerous mean, but
he you know, he put the growlsto any other dog that came
around him.
He'd seen some things, that boy.
He'd seen some shit, yeah.
Uh and he just, you know, he Iwould say at best, except for
(17:34):
Oakley, because it did becomeclose, at best, Milo tolerated
any other dog, right?
At best.
Uh and when I hadn't had himthat long, less than a year, I
think, I flew from Texas toArizona and took Milo with me.
Um, which side note, it was uhnot a connection fly connecting
flight, but when the planelanded West Texas and got more
(17:55):
gas, I guess.
And so we had to stop.
And I had him in a little cratethingy under the seat.
And I I I got up to go to the uhto the restroom, and he starts.
He's throwing a fit, and thensomebody one of the past, like,
oh, it's okay, little guy.
He's like, and I'm like, it'sfine, he's fine.
(18:17):
Leave him alone, please, for thelove of God.
But anyway, um uh I I think itwas both of you guys.
My parents picked me up at theairport in Phoenix, and uh I got
him out of the crate and wentout, took him up to your to
y'all's house, and he got out ofthe car, and Patsy was coming
out of the house, and I want tosay it took about 2.6 seconds
(18:41):
before they were BFFs.
SPEAKER_02 (18:43):
Absolutely.
Minute one and always were, andalways were.
SPEAKER_00 (18:48):
They had a for him being such a grumpy gus and her
being such a such a sweetheart,for some reason they really had
a connection.
They really did, yes.
Uh it was really it was reallycute.
Um Mark, uh, do you have anyquestions about anything?
SPEAKER_03 (19:08):
Are you still driving?
Yeah, when I get quiet likethat, it's it's the stories like
this that just make you lovebeing here and a part of the
ranch.
Especially feeling's not mutual.
Yeah, I know especially withHartley.
Uh and and just knowing that,you know, Patsy's got a spot
here, and then the the ones thathave passed away, but yeah,
(19:29):
knowing that the animals thatare rescued here get to spend
the rest of their lives here onthis ranch, and it just it's you
know, for me being the smart assthat I am, it just I get quiet
because it just it's almostsaddening to know that you know
they get to spend the rest oftheir life here and enjoy it.
SPEAKER_00 (19:47):
Yeah, uh saddening's not the right word.
SPEAKER_03 (19:50):
I d I didn't have a big word like you do.
SPEAKER_00 (19:52):
Saddening does have a lot of letters in it.
Um especially for me.
It it it it it's the like ithits you in the feels, right?
Yeah, yeah, it's uh and it'sit's the that's I mean,
hopefully people kind of getthough we're total dumbasses,
that there's a lot of heart thatgoes into this uh every single
day.
(20:13):
Yes.
And uh I guess sometimes we haveto I guess if we're talking
about anything serious, Mark'sgot nothing to add.
That's what we're learning here.
No, like I said, I know we I'menjoying the story.
Stop yelling at me.
SPEAKER_03 (20:26):
I'm just Oh my god, if I was yelling at you, you'd
know it.
SPEAKER_02 (20:30):
Well, Mark, one of the things too is Ryan and I
have talked about this that youand Christina ending up here is
not an accident.
SPEAKER_03 (20:38):
I I don't think it is.
SPEAKER_02 (20:39):
No, this place has so much heart, it's magical,
it's wonderful.
It's like no place I've everbeen, and this is where you guys
belong.
You're gonna be a part of it,which I think is really cool.
SPEAKER_03 (20:49):
And to be a part of it is is so wonderful for us,
you know.
Not knowing where we were gonnaend up when you know she
retired, and then for Ryan tooffer for us to come down and be
a part of the ranch is just it'sjust wonderful for us.
We you know are grateful everyday for it.
So, wait, you guys are staying?
SPEAKER_02 (21:07):
Oh, you invited them to live here, not me.
Okay, I didn't know all this.
SPEAKER_03 (21:12):
Oh, you've had your opportunity.
SPEAKER_02 (21:13):
Oh I know about that.
SPEAKER_00 (21:17):
You know what, sir.
Well, speaking of that, um well,I did want to mention, I mean,
honestly, if we sat here andtalked about Patsy without
limitation, we'd just go on allday.
Yes.
I mean, there's not enough youcould say about her.
And one of the things thatalways has stuck with me about
her, sp what you have told meabout her, is and I've never
(21:38):
heard anybody say this about adog, she had a sense of humor.
SPEAKER_02 (21:41):
Yes, she did, very much so.
She loved to make people laugh.
She loved to play and try to,you know, outsmart you.
She was really and now you I'msure now you see it in a lot of
your dogs, right?
Or all of them.
SPEAKER_00 (21:53):
Uh well, I don't I yeah, I see I see a lot of those
different things.
Um Was there one time where shewas doing the whole family was
there?
She was doing tricks.
SPEAKER_02 (22:07):
Yes, it was when you were there.
SPEAKER_00 (22:08):
Yes.
SPEAKER_02 (22:08):
Yeah, Ryan was there on a on a trip and we were all
the whole family was there.
And of course the dogs werealways the center of the
tension.
And she was doing tricks andwhatnot.
So she did some trick andeverybody in the room clapped
except for Ryan.
And she stopped what she wasdoing and turned around and
looked at him.
Like, are you kidding me?
(22:30):
And he had to clap for her.
That was her in a nutshell.
Right?
SPEAKER_00 (22:35):
Yes, she well, yes.
Uh among many other lovelythings, she was a ham.
Yeah, she was a ham bone.
Total ham.
Um, and she uh sh you she whenyou she got a brother at some
point, Kevin.
Kevin, yeah.
Y'all's dog Kevin, who's he's alittle cute little piker.
SPEAKER_01 (22:55):
Yes.
SPEAKER_00 (22:55):
He's adorable.
Um, and uh, you know and thennow unfortunately we lost Patsy
some years back, and uh now youguys have another dog named
Lexi.
SPEAKER_02 (23:06):
Right.
SPEAKER_00 (23:06):
Which you were meant to have.
Yes, absolutely.
SPEAKER_02 (23:09):
Um whose name was Patsy if you recall.
Yes, yes.
SPEAKER_00 (23:13):
Which was just weird.
Very strange.
Because it was one of thosethings where you were like, you
know, may maybe it's time we'llget another, you know, get
another dog.
SPEAKER_01 (23:20):
Right.
SPEAKER_00 (23:21):
And it's just like I I'm sure you had seen other dogs
come up, and I was like, Oh,Patsy, oh wait a minute.
And I think I don't know if thisis true, but I do I think you
had like sort of an instant drawto her, despite the name when
you saw a picture of her.
SPEAKER_02 (23:34):
Actually, I had an instant draw to her from her
picture, and when I saw thename, it kind of made me pull
back.
Like, wow.
SPEAKER_00 (23:40):
Yes.
SPEAKER_02 (23:40):
Never known another dog named Patsy.
SPEAKER_00 (23:42):
And yeah, and uh Kevin's always been such a great
dog.
Yes, and Lexi's an amazing dogtoo.
Right.
But one thing I I rememberalways remember about her is
that's not what she was uhbilled to you as.
You were told she was gonna bequite a difficult dog, Lexi.
SPEAKER_02 (23:59):
Yes, I was.
She was a rescue and she hadbeen rescued or gotten somehow
by an an elderly woman who myrescuer had told, I will not
give you a terrier.
Because terriers are, if youknow terriers, I mean they're a
little bit much, right?
What'd you say?
SPEAKER_00 (24:16):
I've I've I've met good words.
I've met a couple you're gonnastart that shit now.
SPEAKER_02 (24:22):
I'm sorry, well, I'm just saying that's how they make
you, right?
They make you crazy.
SPEAKER_00 (24:25):
Oh, they make yeah, totally crazy.
SPEAKER_02 (24:26):
Can make you crazy.
And um when she got past orLexi, she said Lexi wouldn't
make eye contact.
Lexi had IBS, horrible irritablebowel syndrome.
No bad.
She was just a mess.
SPEAKER_01 (24:40):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (24:41):
And uh she told me that when she got her, she had
this feeling that some of thosethings are probably not really
what she was underneath, andthat's what ended up being.
SPEAKER_00 (24:48):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (24:49):
She's just really another great dog.
SPEAKER_00 (24:52):
Yeah, yeah.
They all are, and that's thepoint.
It it is, and the other pointthat I always think about too is
you know the lineage or whateverthey call it, is that you know,
if not, you know, but for Patsy,you wouldn't have probably have
Kevin.
No, you know, Lexi, and again,all of this.
Um and uh but terriers.
(25:14):
I mean, terriers are great andawful because they're just I
mean, they're incredibly smart.
Um and they just excuse me.
Yeah, are you okay over there,buddy?
SPEAKER_03 (25:27):
Yeah, my straw got stuck.
SPEAKER_02 (25:29):
Jesus doing that while we're on the street.
SPEAKER_00 (25:31):
You know that we're doing a show, right?
Wait, dare I ask where did itget stuck?
SPEAKER_02 (25:37):
Good question.
SPEAKER_00 (25:38):
Oh god.
One thing I'll say about um Ithink this applies to a lot of
terriers, at least that I'veknown, I think you've known, uh
is because I used to say thisabout Milo all the time.
I think it's true you and Patsyand stuff.
Uh Milo nobody else could havehad Milo.
SPEAKER_01 (25:57):
No.
SPEAKER_00 (25:58):
And Milo couldn't have had anybody else.
Right.
Like they're they're often thekinds of dogs that you you have
to get them personally, andthere's only certain people that
can get them.
Right.
SPEAKER_02 (26:09):
And uh That's where you were going with the thing
about Lexi, and I totally wentthe other direction.
What what what do you mean?
Well, the the rescuer had toldme that they'd had many people
inquire about her because of herpicture.
SPEAKER_00 (26:21):
Yeah, yeah, and that was right.
I was setting setting you up fora compliment and then you
changed the subject.
SPEAKER_02 (26:25):
Oh, I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_00 (26:26):
No, but it is true.
Um she w that uh the the therescuer was very selective about
very yeah.
Um and r and good.
You know, very re thank godbecause you well know, uh with
if anybody else had gotten Mile,there'd be a very good chance he
would have been put down.
SPEAKER_02 (26:46):
Or taken back.
Or taken back.
Right.
SPEAKER_00 (26:48):
Because he wasn't dangerous, but he could be a
real dick.
Yes.
And he growled a lot andeverything else.
And uh, you know, so it's justand in fact when we when we
adopted Milo, um we we were atthe counter, like checking out
or whatever you call it, andthis lady came in with a
printout from their website ofhim and said, I'd like to see
(27:11):
this dog.
And just you know, not to bejudgy, but that bitch would not
be able to handle Milo.
Right.
And they're like, Oh, I'm sorry,it's just you know, he's just
been adopted out.
She's like, Oh, and she looksaround and she's like, Oh, is
that him?
And then my hit, I'm like, getyour whore mouth and your hands
away from my puppy.
This is my dog now.
Wait till the card clear, yeah,this is my dog now.
(27:34):
But uh, and it's funny how quickyou go there with my doggy.
Uh, and he just like Milo wasmisunderstood.
He was and and terriers oftenare.
And I'll I'll use Finley as anexample, the opposite of a dick,
and the opposite of Grumpy, buthe is a certain kind of
personality.
He's very quirky, and you haveto you have to get him.
(27:57):
Um but they always these dogsalways tend to be the most uh
interesting and special ones.
And and I know the implicationthere is that they're not all
special, and they're not,because we mentioned Harley.
SPEAKER_01 (28:11):
That's Harley is special.
SPEAKER_00 (28:13):
Yeah, yeah.
Um, but uh I I I want to say I'mreally glad that you were able
to do be here for this episodebecause I very much when we
talked about Patsy, I very muchwanted to hear from you, and so
I'm glad we could do it whileyou're here.
SPEAKER_02 (28:29):
I appreciate you letting me do this, Ryan.
It brings back so much.
Yeah, and it reminds me of howhow amazing you are to do what
you do, and I want to just saytoo, I've said this to you many
times.
I loved my dogs, I love themvery much, like people.
But you have a connection withdogs and an ability with dogs
that no one else in our familyhas.
Maybe Robbie.
Robbie might one day.
SPEAKER_01 (28:49):
Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (28:50):
But you innately know what to do with dogs, you
innately know Milo.
You said he was a lot to handle,and I remember a call I got one
time where he'd gotten bitten byhim.
SPEAKER_00 (28:58):
Oh, yep.
You remember that?
Thank God, yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (29:01):
And he had gotten trapped under a bed and got
under bed when he was reallybitten.
Really bitten, yeah.
This was not a playbite.
Yeah.
And uh I said to the first thingI said, even loving dogs as I
do, uh you might have to get ridof him.
You can't put up with that.
And and instantly Ryan said hewas still upset, he was still
bleeding, all the things.
Well, mom, he there's somereason for this.
(29:22):
He didn't just do this becausehe's a bad dog.
And you've known those kindswhen you see a dog, when you
meet a dog, you know them andyou can work with them, and I
just think that's such a gift,and it's been such an amazing
thing to be able to watch youwork with these dogs.
SPEAKER_00 (29:36):
Well, thank you.
I really that means a lot.
Uh and I we joked earlier, Milo,Milo had seen some shit, and
unfortunately, the not funnypart of that was is he had not
been treated well.
No, he hadn't.
And I don't we don't know hishistory, but it was evident.
And the thing that he it wasn'tentirely me, I don't give full
credit.
The thing that that little shitdid is after he bit me, I you
(30:01):
know, I I kind of jumped back.
He came out with ears down, taildown, and he came over to me and
apologized.
And he just felt so bad aboutit.
And, you know, that's one ofthose things that uh throughout
his life there were there wereevents where he never bit
anybody again, but he you know,he snapped at him in certain
(30:24):
situations.
A couple I'm thinking ofspecifically, where he got put
in timeout around the family,remember?
And we let him out and he wouldgo apologize.
SPEAKER_02 (30:34):
He sure would.
SPEAKER_00 (30:34):
Like he he knew he'd done something wrong, he just
couldn't control it.
Um kind of like it's not likeMark, because Mark doesn't
apologize.
Well, yeah, I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_03 (30:44):
That doesn't that doesn't count.
I'm getting ahead.
Getting them in that way.
You can't preload those badones.
Yes, I can't, I just did.
SPEAKER_00 (30:53):
Um uh but again, thank appreciate you saying
that.
And again, thanks for do thanksfor talking about her.
Thank you.
It's it's nice.
Yeah, she's a special girl.
Um and uh you know, when despitethe fact that Christina's really
mad at you and stuff orwhatever, Mark, she did have a
good suggestion a few episodesback about more background on
(31:15):
the ranch and that kind ofstuff.
SPEAKER_01 (31:17):
Right.
SPEAKER_00 (31:19):

Yeah, and like, you know, I'll tell you the other
thing.
I don't know if you know Markenough well enough to realize
what just happened.
He said he said, Yeah, let's dothat.
And then I immediately realized,well, I'd have to do the whole
fucking thing and set up thepoll and keep track of it.
Exactly.
And and then ultimately it wouldjust be never, like you said.
SPEAKER_03 (35:56):
Yes.
Now you know why I'm such a goodsupervisor.
You?
Yeah, because I'd have to doanything.
Give it to somebody else.
