Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right is Mojo? In the morning, I felt bad.
Shannon said this morning that she's worried that her dog
is kind of on its last. Before Charlie really he
said years old, you moved back to town. Remember you
moved back and that was like your yeah, you got
Charlie before you got a man.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Charlie has been my ride. It is. He's still alive.
Charlie is my ride or die. I mean he has been.
He has been with me through my single days, my
married days, my married again days, my divorce days, babies
pre babies. He's he has been through it all. But
he I mean at sixteen and a half years old.
And I think I talked about this a month or
two ago, like I know that the weeks are limited,
(00:44):
and that is happening very quickly, and I just pray,
I also said this before. I pray that he just
passes away peacefully in his sleep and one morning I
go to it and that like kills me if you
say not. But I would rather that happen than have
to make have to make the decision anyway. So we
were away west and I went up north this past
weekend and my dad and my stepmom, Chris always watch Charlie.
(01:05):
They love Charlie when we're out of town. And so
I went to pick him up yesterday. I went to
Allen Park to go pick him up because he stayed
in extra night at Papa and Namo's house and my
dad's like still here. Didn't didn't have to put him
in the freezer. And I thought, this is a great
topic that I don't know that I've told you guys about.
(01:26):
It started when we took a family trip to Mexico
for what was it spring break we went this year.
My dad and my stepmom watched the dog and they said, look,
you're going to be gone for a week. If he dies,
do you want us to call you right away? Or
do you want us to put him in the freezer
(01:46):
and not say anything so you can enjoy your vacation
and when you get home you can figure out what
to do with him. A deep freezer, yea, they know
they have like a deep freezer. They have a few
deep freezers. And they asked me that again this past week. Again,
if he dies this weekend, do you want us to
call you or do you want us to.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Put him What did you answer? For Mexico?
Speaker 2 (02:07):
For both I answered, freezer.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Freezer, wow, interrupted, What am I.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Going to do for you?
Speaker 3 (02:16):
And get him cremated and give you.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
That when you do this, if Charlie dies, does he
have to wrap him in a zip lock bag and
then put him in there?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
This is like half joking but pretty much very serious. Actually,
I was like, what do you do with the dog?
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Do you thaw him out when he's that she finally
gets back?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Has this ever happened to anybody? Has anybody ever lost
their pet on vacation?
Speaker 3 (02:46):
And what did you do? What happened?
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Did you come home from vacation or are you watching
somebody's I'm assuming when you guys went to Mexico that
if Charlie were to died, you probably aren't flying back.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Well that's why, my that's why they asked what they asked,
Do you want us to call you and tell you yeah,
or do you want to just not you know, not
know And he's prancing in the backyard.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
If he wasn't well in Europe, nor if you would
be like company.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
I drive the three and a half hours, you come.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Over, your dad say hey, Shanny, go grab get the
ribs on the deep freezer.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
You open it up the visual horrible.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
So Lily died when we were in Chicago, or didn't
die when we were scared. Lily was our dog before
Henry and Louis. Lily was the only dog that I
actually really liked, like I was the only dog that
I truly cared for the other, which I gotta be
careful saying that, because Lily Lily.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I think every every pet owner has a soul dog.
Lily was your soul dog.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Lily was. Lily was our family. Like Lily.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
You looked in Lily's eyes, and Lily was a human being.
Lily was Tim Allen inside of you know. Remember Tim
Allen was the dog in one of those movies. You
remember the movie where he became a dog? He was
the a became the dog. No, don't you remember the movie.
Wasn't it Tim Allen that was the dog?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
He was a dog Santa Claus.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Maybe it wasn't Tim Allen? Who was the actor? Who
is the actor that was the dog?
Speaker 4 (04:12):
I know you're right. It was called the Shaggy Dog.
Shaggy Allen was in the movie.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
You watched that movie?
Speaker 1 (04:17):
That was literally But so we were in Chicago and
we got a call from Marissa and She's like she
was watching Lily and she goes, it's not good, guys,
and we I'm not gonna I've never I have never
driven that fast on ninety four in my life. And
we got home and we had to put her down
that night. It was really bad.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
I really I don't want to have to make that decision.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
What's up, Sam, how you doing.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
So this actually happened to me. My heart dog, boxer
dog Ali. We went out to California for Christmas to
visit my sister in law and we had my friends
watching him at our house and he went out side
in the rain and kind of collapsed. And I knew
that that was weird when he was telling me, and
(05:06):
so I had to call my boss and she came
down and she took him to the vat for me
and ended that he had a tumor in his sleam
golf all size that had ruptured, and so I basically
had to say goodbye over face time. It was probably
one of the hardest things that I ever had to do. However,
(05:33):
I couldn't have picked a better person to be with him,
because she is just was so much like me, and
the love that she had for him was just so heavy,
like it was a blessing because if it would have
wrecked me, it.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Would have wrecked me for sure. Yeah, good luck to you.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
It was rough.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
It was rough.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
This is a no vacation zone time, no leaving the
town time until sure. Could you imagine though, that you
had to, like Judge, maybe bring Charlie with you?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
No, could you imagine Charlie dying on vacation.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
So he's so like dementia, so bad that.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
You can't bring him anymore then, Julia, Yes, you guys
actually did the freezer thing.
Speaker 7 (06:22):
What happened, So my boyfriend's grandpa he found their fifteen
year old dog passed away, and he didn't know what
to do, and so they ended up putting him in
the freezer in an olive garden bag.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Oh, oh my god, Oh my god.
Speaker 7 (06:47):
They put him in there until my boyfriend's sister could
get there from after work. Oh, they didn't know what
to do with him, so they just put him in
an olive garden bag and put him in the freezer.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
In the quick question outside of.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Which would you ever go to your boyfriend's grandpa's house
and have like a frozen pizza or or like chicken
chicken nuggets or any of that stuff like or right a,
you know, French fries.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
Absolutely not not from the outside.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
When they come get the dog out the freezer, do
they just like throw it away? Like do what do
you do once you get the frozen dog?
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Yeah? What did she do?
Speaker 7 (07:25):
So they wanted to preserve him, so he was okay
until she could go take him to get cremated.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Okay, I see, do you keep him on while you're
traveling to the vet or do you just you put
him in a yetti.
Speaker 8 (07:45):
I don't know what they did on the way to
the vet, but I assume he was still in.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
That oli garden day. I have a question for Shannon
on this one and Julie please stay on the phone
if you can. What is your dad keeping that freezer
that he would have put Charlie in?
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Like? What is what's in there? Do you have you
ever seen it? Meat? Just got meat in there?
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Like Costco meat?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Like he just buys a bunch of meat at Costco?
Would you be okay with having a barbecue at your
dad's house?
Speaker 3 (08:10):
After that?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Only topic I could laugh and.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Do like I.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
I hate to say this, but I feel like our
freezer is loaded with just stuff that we probably don't
even need. You know, it's been sitting there a while,
and I would be like, do I give up? Like
the bag of chicken that I got at Costco for Charlie?
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Like if I'm Dad? Like what if Dad's like, oh man,
it's gonna.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Take too much?
Speaker 3 (08:38):
No?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Nothing, nothing, No.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Charlie is like shoved.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Every grandpa's got a great freezer, right, don't they always
have a great traer?
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Yeah, that's that's horrible.
Speaker 8 (08:54):
A couple of years ago.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
I always I always say let's play a game, what's
in our freezer? And going Charlie, Abby, what happened?
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Hi?
Speaker 2 (09:13):
First time? Long time?
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Abby?
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Have you ever seen the movie The Shaggy Dog? It
was a great movie. What's going on?
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Actually?
Speaker 8 (09:21):
I have not, but I know Tim Allen's in it,
so love him.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (09:24):
So I was actually the pet sitter in this situation.
I was pet sitting a cat for a family that
went to Alabama for spring break, and about halfway into
their trip, I walked in and the cat was dead,
and I didn't know what to do, so I basically
called her. She started crying over the phone, and I
(09:45):
was like, well, what do you want me?
Speaker 1 (09:46):
To do.
Speaker 8 (09:46):
Do you want me to like bury it? And she's like, no,
just just leave it and I will call the vet
that lives in our neighborhood to come get it. So
I just I just left it.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
There and they came and picked up the cat.
Speaker 8 (10:00):
Supposedly the vet that lived in their neighborhood came and
got it supposedly or yeah, yeah, exactly how.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Did it die though, because the moment I was the
cat healthy when they lift.
Speaker 8 (10:16):
Well, she actually told me. She's like, oh, you know,
he's been hiding in weird places, which is really weird.
So if you can't find him, he'll be in this
in his closet and so apparently that's like a sign
of cats, like you know, not doing something that they
normally do. So I don't want to about fifteen years.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Old, like, I don't want to petsive for my friend's
animal that's potentially die because I don't want them thinking
that I killed the animal, you know, And yeah, I
know what happens in this case. If they bring the
they come back and they do an autopsy and find
out that it was mistreatment by Abby.
Speaker 8 (10:55):
WHOA yeah, like you said, if only that, then I
don't watch their new cat anymore.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Amber.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
What's up, Hello Mojo, Good morning.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Good morning. What's going on?
Speaker 6 (11:13):
So my grandma had a pep parakeet and it died
in the winter, and she put it in a ziplock,
put it in the freezer all winter, waiting until the
ground on thought in spring to bury it. So every
time we went for like a popsicle or something, we
(11:34):
got to say hi to Buddy.
All right is Mojo? In the morning, I felt bad.
Shannon said this morning that she's worried that her dog
is kind of on its last. Before Charlie really he
said years old, you moved back to town. Remember you
moved back and that was like your yeah, you got
