Speaker 1 (00:00):
Thanks for hanging out with us after the show brand
new episode that we do every single day, and we
appreciate you being a podcast subscriber.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Jody, you had mentioned that growing up when it came
because we've been talking about the things your dogs are,
the weird things your dogs eat. Yeah, and you said
that growing up, you guys had a scrap bucket and
you called it the scrap bucket.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
And it was everything you scrap.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Everything you ate from dinner or whatever meal got put
in the scrap bucket and that's what you fed your dogs.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
And what was grosser about it? If it can possibly be.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
That grosser than just the name of the concept.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Yes, when you would rake some scraps in, rate some
leftovers into it, if it wasn't much, you'd put it
in the fridge and leave it in the fridge, close it,
but leave it in the fridge so that the dog
would get a bigger portion, wait till the next time
to fill it up. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Well, I was going to ask you about I mean,
you had to keep it from going bad. I mean
most of the scraps, It's not like you were sorting
things that weren't perishable out of the scraps, right, you
couldn't leave it at room temp.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
No, we didn't leave it out. Yeah, we weren't that country.
But I will say that, honestly, I didn't know any
other way. That's the way that it was done as
I grew up. So I didn't know that other people
fed their dogs dog food.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Well, you know what I mean, a commercial love dog
food probably is something that was sort of like a
mid twentieth century thing.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Yeah, I should have had.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
I'm sure that my grandmother back because she always told
the depression era stories, I'm sure that they weren't buying
dog food, you know, right, probably what you did to
be resourceful. So it's kind of gross.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Well not for the dogs. They were pretty happy.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
What's really scary about that? If you think about that.
Were they giving everybody warnings back then that you can't
feed dogs grapes and the things that we know now.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I don't know that. I mean think so a good
vet maybe if you had a good relationship with the veterinarian.
But I do remember one story that you guys will
appreciate much. That the leftovers were beans a pot of beans,
and my dad gave the dog the left ever beans
that was a rough night to be on the porch
with him.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Well, at least it was on the porch. Yes.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Well, and I don't find this completely odd because we
did not have a scrap bucket, but we my dad
it kind of did the same thing every night. If
there was stuff on the plate that we didn't finish,
he saved it. Now he mixed it in. We had
dry dog food, ok, so he mixed it in with
whatever dog Whatever scraps you had got mixed in with
(02:23):
a little dog food.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
And my dad was almost he was almost gourmet with
what he was feeding the dogs because if there was
a little gravy left over, well, you know, you kind
of mix that one in with it. Because my brother
and I never could eat chicken, right, you know, fried chicken.
We'd always leave too much until the bone.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
According to my parents, Well wait, most kids do that.
You don't know how to get it all right.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
So when you finished dinner, my dad would would go
through the chicken bones, you know, pull everything off that
was good, and that got mixed in with a little
gravy that was left over for wow, and they had
some peas and that all kind of got mixed together
with the dry dog food and move and you got
a gourmet meal dogs.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
No kidding, the monky dogs. Yeah, that was sweet.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
They didn't like have a problem with the plain food
after that.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Now, well there was a little plain food mixed in,
so I guess in the days where they had to
go more plane than scraps, it's like, oh, well we're
kind of used to these rocks.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
We can eat these. See, our poodle would not do
that all the you know that you're saying that. I
do think I remember my dad actually putting plates down
and letting her lick the food off the plates.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
I guess really people would consider that to be gross too.
But you know the problem with that is if there
were any leftovers that she was given, she was stoppingting
her regular food for a couple of days. So we
had to stop doing that.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Yeah, right, It's probably more correct to feed them a
diet of you know, but I read, I read all
kinds of things that you can, and you know, I've
wanted to do this. It's been one of those best
intention things for me is to make treats for the dogs,
like homemade treats like peanut butter and pumpkin bars and
make it for them. Those kind of things are good
for them.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yeah, I would love to know what part of your
day you're gonna squeeze that too. I'm saying that's making
stuff for the dogs, treats for the dogs. The problem
with that is the dogs don't appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Right and in priority wise, I think, make treats for
me before you get to the dogs.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
There's nothing butt treats for you everywhere Murphy.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Oh, I know that. I'm not worried about me.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
But you know, it's just my idealistic, my idealism about it.
But I will say that, you know, there are a
lot of people who say I switch my dog to
this or that or something more healthy, not just healthy,
more protein based, and they're more satisfied grain, and it's
not giving them what they need.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
And humans are the same way, right, I mean, protein
is what you need to be sustained and from muscle
and all that. Yeah. The trick to me what the
dogs and I do love treating them because we love them.
We tend to. Even those of us that know you're
not supposed to like totally humanize your animals, you still do. Yeah,
but they do not have a discerning palette which is
evident from what happens in the backyard. Sometimes not all,
(04:56):
So I'm never going to be the one to go
over the top to make something extra.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Yeah you know, he really likes chicken, He likes anything.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yeah you know what else he likes?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Okay, Stop, not all dogs do that. Some of them
do if they like if they never got over the
habit of doing eating what they're not supposed to the
backyard from when they were puppies. But most of them
do get over that. I've looked into it.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
You're saying it's a snack that reminds him of childhood.
Stop it didn't your mom make cat cat treats? Y'all?
Had you also had a cat as a kid. We did.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
We had dogs and they ate scraps and that. I
don't ever remember buying dog food. But we had cats too,
and my mom spoiled that cat so rotten. His name
was Pete Ancor, and she loved to spoil him. I
think instead of having a third child, my dad got
her this cat because she would rock him, sing to him.
She loved him, and he was rotten, and she would
(05:54):
take deli ham out of the drawer and the refrigerator
and start cutting it into pieces for him, and he
could hear that sound no matter where he was, and
he would come running and she would give him cut
up Ham. Wow, luckiest cat in you know, the whole state.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Yeah. Now see, there is a difference there between cats
and dogs because their palette is discerning. And he probably
would protest for months if he didn't get Ham right.
He gotten away from.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Him that he was worse for it because he got
He really grew an attitude. But he lived a long
time and she loved him. He was like the third child.
