Speaker 1 (00:00):
Thank you for being a Murphy, Sam and Jody podcast
subscriber and hanging out with us after the show. Jody
mentioned this morning that our which dog, Which foster dog
was this number twenty nine, twenty twenty ninth foster dog. Finally,
you know, got.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Down a crowded around there in twenty ninth time. We've
done it successfully.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Yeah, Jody fell in love with this a long time ago.
We started with boxers when we you know, had our
own and began fostering. And you know, you take the
dog from the shelter, you give it a home that's
kind of happy, and then you find a new home
that's its new permanent home foster. Yeah, and so most
of the time it goes smoothly. But there are some
things I've had to learn with this is that you know,
(00:40):
you have all personality types of dogs and you don't
know their backgrounds. Most of them actually are vetted no
pun intended by the shelter. And then so it's going
to be a dog that is adoptable, but they all
have personality quirks, right.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I wouldn't be able to take one that's not highly adoptable,
it's not healthy or and they have to pass their
temperance test.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Is that what it's called. They have to that's the word.
I couldn't think of it.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
You know, they have to not be food aggressive and
all that kind of stuff. But every single one that
we bring into our pack, you just never know what
you're gonna get. All we've loved them all though we
have loved them all, but she got adopted. She was
one of the hardest, right for you, she was hard.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Here's one of the hardest ones. Our backyard is set
up for this, you know where the gating and actually
it's set up for everything except for the smallest dogs,
which we found out the hard way. So when we foster. Now,
we can't foster the tiny ones because they will get
it right through. But it's really important when they hang
out with the pack, they learn and they really I mean,
it makes all the difference in the world. But Sadie
took much longer than the average dog to kind of
(01:39):
fall into the pack and begin to follow the lead
because I think she's very puppy like. I don't know
that she ever had any human attention. So, as Jodi
was explaining, any change was an excitable moment for her.
If you brought her inside, bouncing off the sofa, and
I mean all over the place, or if you're just
getting home or you get out the least to walk them.
I mean, just totally excited. But as time went on,
(02:01):
she finally started to calm, you know, quickly, which is great,
and that's the most rewarding part of it.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
But there's a reason for her like being like that
though she was a lonely heart. She was at the
shelter for a very long time before she got into
our home in foster care. She was there since early
January of this year. That's a long stretch being in
a crate most of the day, only getting human attention
when the overworked workers can help, you know, see, you
(02:28):
pay attention to it. So that was a reason for
that too.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yeah, and I love supporting Jody with this because I
know it's an important project for her. But there's one
part of it that just well, there are may be
two things that drive me a little bit crazy. The
destruction is one. If you wind up with one that
choose or whatever, that drives me a little bit crazy.
But the other one, and this is just what happens
when you have pats and you have a lot of
them is the cleanup after them. And for whatever reason,
(02:52):
a lot of these shelter dogs will not go use
the facilities in the yard itself. They will actually use
the patio. So the patio is what really gets gross
and disgusting. And all it takes is one to do
something there and the others start to follow along, which
just kind of drives me a little bit crazy. Yeah,
I'm pretty so when we were getting planning for the
get together, when my family came over and city had
(03:15):
actually been adopted by that point, I did the clean
up as usual, and I'm feeling good man, this is
the path looks great, but there's something still smells, and
something still smells. I'm like, okay, I'm going crazy trying
to find this. And you know me, mister mister safety
and mister clean and all that kind of stuff. I've
got my little spray bottle with the bleached water mixture
and all that kind of stuff that I clean with.
(03:35):
I can't find it. And then finally I had to
pull one of the crates behind it was just kind
of hidden. You know. It was one of those things
where I guess a rainy day and one of them,
you know, kind of peed behind the crate. Yah, so
I had to pay nobody will see it, right, but
I literally had to pull everything out at that point
that was outside, away from walls and everything, and just
(03:55):
hose the whole thing down.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Unfortunately, I don't think that them going on the concrete
going to change.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
And I know it's the only thing that I don't
like about it. But it's a fact of life, you know.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
It is. That's amazing because Gus is always a grass
do that's great? Now? Somebody talks about.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Except for the times when he does it in the house.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Did you train him outside? Somebody did. Then somebody took
him into the grass and when he went there rewarded
him like yes, yes, yes, and that's and he understands
that's where you go. But the rewarding part is that
twenty nine dogs, instead of meeting another fate because they
weren't getting adopted from the shelter, have homes now and
(04:33):
most of these people have adopted. I know, I've been
able to stay in touch with like I get updates
on my fosters. That's awesome, it is, I tell you.
I mentioned for another one already, I'm itching for another one.
We decided to wait till past Taylor's birthday though, because
she's you know, maybe have some friends over or something,
and you just never know.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
That hole keep in the backyard thing clean with friends
over right.
