Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'd like to get an update from Shannon. Yesterday was
a very tearful morning. A lot of listeners were sympathizing
with what's going on in you and Wes and the
kids with your dog Willow? And is Willow no longer
with us? Or where's Willow?
Speaker 2 (00:20):
You guys, this is the absolute craziest story. So if
you were listening to the show yesterday, and if not,
you can go back and listen to the podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
We have a friend. She her name is Willow.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
She's five years old, and she had a relapse from
a condition that a lot of friendies have called IVDD.
Wasn't able to walk, totally paralyzed. In fact, like her
bottom extremity is. She couldn't walk, she couldn't go to
the bathroom on her own. Wes had been like helping
her go to the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
It's just been so sad.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
So we had an appointment yesterday afternoon for vet Hospice
to come in and we were gonna let her pass
in the comfort of our home home with you know, everybody,
all of the kids and everybody around her. And an
hour and a half before the appointment, this dog came
back to life. What this dog started going to the
(01:16):
bathroom by herself. She started getting up and putting weight
on her back legs again, and so, and I was
not home at the time. Obviously I was here, but
my sixteen year old stepdaughter Samantha stayed home from school
to be with her because obviously she thought these are
my last hours with my dog. And she was sending
(01:36):
West videos all day going dad, look like, look what's happening.
And so Wes texted me and said, I can't do it.
That's all his text said. And I'm like, wait, what
are you talking about? And he sent me the videos
and he's like, I'm canceling the appointment.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
So she's still here colling.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
I'm like, you know, So Wes took her to the
vet yesterday afternoon and the vet was looking at the
videos and examined her and was like, okay, like I
think even the vet from what Wes told me, was like,
holy spit, like this is and he's like keep going, like,
(02:21):
let's see what happens. So she's on a bunch of
meds and she's being kept in her crate comfortably. But
we're just you know, Wes is holding out a lot
of hope that this is an answer to his prayers.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Means this to any listener where that is ever about
to put a dog down or a fan.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
So let me tell you something. We were going to
use an incredible company, by the way from how we've
corresponded so far, called Lap of Love. They were going
to be the vet hospice that came to the house
to do this. And Wes said when he called them
yesterday and said, I'm canceling the appointment, this is the situation.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
The lady was like, the these are.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
The phone calls we love to get, and they it
does happen where the dog takes a turn and you
you you're looking at this dog going I can't do
this now, like there's ever there's going to change for
the better, where they were.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Literally getting ready to put the injection and and then.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
I don't know, I did not ask that question, but that.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Would be wild.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Somebody was telling me a story about a dog that
they tried to put down and they couldn't.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
They couldn't.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
They gave the dog the medication that does it, and
the dog didn't die, would not die. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Now, obviously I say, we're very hopeful, like we you
know you this is such a delicate situation because you
love these animals so much, but you don't want to
be selfish and keep them alive when they should have
kept alive. So obviously, like we are very closely monitoring
the situation. But holy hell, it's I did not think
I was going to come in here today to tell
this story.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Derek. What's up?
Speaker 5 (03:51):
Hi, Derek, Derek, I had a Pomeranian.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
You're in a bad phone area. Start all over again.
Let's pretend I just picked you up again. Hi, Derek,
what's going on?
Speaker 6 (04:04):
All right?
Speaker 7 (04:05):
Hi?
Speaker 5 (04:05):
Yeah, I had a Pomeranian that laid on our kitchen
floor for three days and didn't moved and eat and drink,
didn't go to the bathroom, did nothing. And my wife
wanted me to put him down, and I refused, And
after three days he stood up, went outside, went to
the bathroom and lived another two years.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Absolutely, Oh my gosh, So it does happen, that'sble.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
Yeah, I refuse to put him down, and uh, I'm
glad because he lived two more years, completely happy. You
just this is sick for a couple of days, but
after that he was totally fine. So but you may
have another year or two with your dogs.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
What you wonder if it's a misdiagnosis by the vets,
where the vets are like yeah, this dogs, you know,
got something bad going on, and then you look at
it going it maybe did have like a virus or
something that was able to work through. That's you feel
horrible if you what if it was one day earlier,
you know what I mean, when uh Willa wasn't feeling
good to think.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Yeah, so I'll keep you updated. But it was funny,
not funny. But we came home yesterday and our friends,
you know them, doctor Matt and Justin had sent us
this big, beautiful buquet of flowers, and West called him
and was like, I'm gonna give you money for the flowers.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Because she's still here. It was so kind of.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Flowers saying like you know, pugs and kisses and tail
wags from Justin and Matt and their dog room. Wes
is like, she's she's still here, so I'll send you
the money for this flower arrangement?
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Is it bad though?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
That I feel like if this was me and this
was one of my dogs and it came back and
then all of a sudden, the that goes Yeah, but
for another ten thousand dollars, I'd be like, put.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
The damn dog down.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Well, we had that.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
We had to have that conversation because we've we're already
in like fourteen grand with this dog we had Lily.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Lily ended up having a surgery done, and I believe
the surgery killed Lily.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
I keep saying that.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yeah, it was the most expensive surgery we've ever had
to do for any human being or animal. We did
the surgery, took the dog to Flint, to some place
up in Flint that specializes it, and everything was great
for about a week or two, and the next thing,
you know, Lily ended up ying what's up?
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Robin high Hi, our dog.
Speaker 8 (06:09):
Chief, he had the same thing. He woke up paralyzed
from the waist back. He's a chocolate lab about seventy
five pounds. Just one morning he woke up paralyzed and
we made we took him say emergency that they wanted
to do a.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Four thousand dollars MRI.
Speaker 8 (06:22):
And he's ten over ten years old, so we're like,
that's not really practical, and so we made the appointment
with laps Love to you know, have him euthanized that Thursday,
and a friend of ours told us to see an
animal chiropractor. So we took him in a wagon to
the animal chiropractor the next day. It cost ninety dollars,
and the day that he was supposed to be euthanize,
(06:42):
he started walking again.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Wow, it's a miracle.
Speaker 8 (06:48):
He's going to be and he's going to be thirteen
next week.
Speaker 7 (06:52):
It's really awesome.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
That's unbelievable.
Speaker 8 (06:56):
Yeah, take him to an animal chiropractor because he had
the same thing that Shannon's ahead.
Speaker 6 (07:00):

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Wow, that's wild, just absolutely wild. What's up Page I.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
II.
Speaker 9 (07:06):
Yeah, I almost had the same situation. Luckily we never
had to put like called hospice or anything. But we
had a pug Chihaha mix who was older, she was
thirteen years old, and she was not using the bathroom,
super sick. And we had another beagle who we got
as a puppy and he had never been alone by himself.
(07:27):
So we thought it was a perfect opportunity to get
another puppy, and so we got another dog, and our
pug Chihuaha had a full turnaround, recovered, didn't have anything
like medications or anything to take, and we ended up
having three dogs and a newborn and it was so
much worse.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Oh my god, what happens if this is the call
and you end up, you know, making the call that
you're going to be putting putting the dog down, and
you're kind of honestly thinking, well, I'll get it myself
another dog, and now.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
You've got multiple dogs like he had. You know what
I mean, it's crazy a lot.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I actually, honestly, this is no you know, no offense
to anybody that loves their animals and stuff like this.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
I would have been like, okay, all right, you know
what I mean, almost seemed happy.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
No, I'd be like, wait, wait, well, I'd be like,
you know, it's kind of like all right, well, good
the dog. You know, it's gonna put you know dogs, uh,
you know, Okay, we're gonna you know, move on whatever
the deal is, you know, and then we're gonna put
the dog down, comfort everybody. And then you're like, crap,
the dog's still here, you know what I mean, Like
I would sit there.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
I know it is.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
It's it is hard, Like I yeah, it's hard.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
To all like all of a sudden, literally.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I thought I just I just did not think this
could happen. I mean, it's like the craziest dang thing.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Ever.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Yeah, just we were all prepared.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Like I called the kids out of school, you know,
I had already said, so I like went to pick
up the kids and Lucy comes down the hallway and
she's all said. I was like, well, guess what. I'm like,
I'm picking you up. We're going to Franklin Cidermill because
the dog's not going to.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
School early.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
I'm taking you and you're not going out of school.
You got to go back to school.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
What's up Alison?
Speaker 10 (09:15):
Hi, good morning guys.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
How are you going on?
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Not much?
Speaker 6 (09:22):
So.
Speaker 10 (09:22):
I had a dog one time and he actually got parvo.
We took him to the vet to get his car
vote back scene and caught parvo right away. After that,
We took him to the vet and they basically said
that there wasn't much that they could do for him
and just kind of let it fight its course or
put him down. We took him home. We did everything
that we possibly could for him, and we just thought
(09:44):
he was a goner. And I laid in front of
his cage, crying my eyes out like a baby, saying
my goodbyes to him, and he got up and he
walked towards me and gave me a kiss, and I
looked at my boyfriend at the time, I said, he's
not ready to go. And he lived another three years
at all.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Man, that's wild.
Speaker 7 (10:03):
Yeah, it was amazing.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Do you think do you think that the dog is going?
This bitch was.
Speaker 9 (10:08):
Gonna right right like, so.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
I was just tired.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I was holding Willow space in my in my hands
and I'm like, please, don't be mad.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Kill you hold on.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Kilaw's dog survived a fire and survived all the craziness
of possibly dying and is still around.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Is that right?
Speaker 6 (10:37):
Well, she recently passed in her sleep. For a whole age,
I got fourteen, so I had this dog since she
was like six months old. She was Western Highland Terrier
and I got her when I was a teenager.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
And I swear like she used to just run.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
She used to run away and be gone for like
a weekend, and I always knew she would come back.
But I think she was like the dog of many lives,
like a cat, like a cat or something. I remember
when I went to Japan for vacation and my mom
was dog sitting and the like. When I was finally
landed back home in Chicago, my mom's like, are you
in the country. I'm like, yeah, she goes Okay. When
I was babysitting, your dog got pack attacked, she got
(11:14):
tore completely open. She's in surgery right now. They think
she's gonna recover and she'll be you know. I'm like,
is she dead and they're like no, but we're not.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
Really sure how well she's gonna do.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
So I picked her up from surgery and then like
two weeks later, our house caught on fire, like complete fire,
and like she.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
Was found in the kitchen and she was a she
was white, She's.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
A Western Highland Terrier, completely black, just passed out in
the kitchen, you know.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
So it's like, are you sure it's not a cat lives.
Speaker 6 (11:45):
But she was like she was like barking, you know,
like they think she was just barking at the kitchen fire.
Nobody was home, but you know, the dog. So I
take her to the vet and they're like, what's this.
What's your dog's name. I'm like Dusty and They're like,
we just had a white dog named Dessy. I'm like, yeah,
that's her.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Man.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
I want to I want to, you know, to go
through all of that and then pass away into sleep though.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
It's unbelievable. That's what you want to.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
So that you don't have to make that decision, you know.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Hold on, Marco, this is sad. What happened? Marco?
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Hey, what's up?
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Mojo?
Speaker 7 (12:18):
That's about I think two years ago my dog had
to get surgery for some reason. I couldn't remember, but anyway,
my mom takes her to the takes him to the
doctor and they start prepping his leg. He had to
get surgery on his left leg. They make the incision
on his right leg. His whole right leg shaved off.
They ended up making the incision on the wrong leg,
(12:40):
so they had to they had to reprep them. He
comes home, both legs are shaved, both legs are cut open,
with a cone on his head. It was, uh, it
was pretty unreal. We ended up getting the surgery for free,
though my dad.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Was very an.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Your dad was just happy that they did the wrong
leg at first, so he got the surgery for free.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
How much money did he save.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
I think it was around nine grand or something. I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Yeah, it's no joke.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
You want to chop off the wrong leg, so I
get it. Now, you got that going to happen, right,
now that happens to humans. Though you hear the stories,
I don't think you get the surgery for free. You
just become a millionaire. You assume him, but
I'd like to get an update from Shannon. Yesterday was
a very tearful morning. A lot of listeners were sympathizing
with what's going on in you and Wes and the
kids with your dog Willow? And is Willow no longer

Speaker 4 (08:13):
I would have been like, okay, all right, you know
what I mean, almost seemed happy.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
No, I'd be like, wait, wait, well, I'd be like,
you know, it's kind of like all right, well, good
the dog. You know, it's gonna put you know dogs, uh,
you know, Okay, we're gonna you know, move on whatever
the deal is, you know, and then we're gonna put
the dog down, comfort everybody. And then you're like, crap,
the dog's still here, you know what I mean, Like
I would sit there.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
I know it is.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
It's it is hard, Like I yeah, it's hard.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
To all like all of a sudden, literally.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I thought I just I just did not think this
could happen. I mean, it's like the craziest dang thing.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Ever.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Yeah, just we were all prepared.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Like I called the kids out of school, you know,
I had already said, so I like went to pick
up the kids and Lucy comes down the hallway and
she's all said. I was like, well, guess what. I'm like,
I'm picking you up. We're going to Franklin Cidermill because
the dog's not going to.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
School early.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
I'm taking you and you're not going out of school.
You got to go back to school.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
What's up Alison?
Speaker 10 (09:15):
Hi, good morning guys.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
How are you going on?
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Not much?
Speaker 6 (09:22):
So.
Speaker 10 (09:22):
I had a dog one time and he actually got parvo.
We took him to the vet to get his car
vote back scene and caught parvo right away. After that,
We took him to the vet and they basically said
that there wasn't much that they could do for him
and just kind of let it fight its course or
put him down. We took him home. We did everything
that we possibly could for him, and we just thought
(09:44):
he was a goner. And I laid in front of
his cage, crying my eyes out like a baby, saying
my goodbyes to him, and he got up and he
walked towards me and gave me a kiss, and I
looked at my boyfriend at the time, I said, he's
not ready to go. And he lived another three years
at all.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Man, that's wild.
Speaker 7 (10:03):
Yeah, it was amazing.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Do you think do you think that the dog is going?
This bitch was.
Speaker 9 (10:08):
Gonna right right like, so.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
I was just tired.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I was holding Willow space in my in my hands
and I'm like, please, don't be mad.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Kill you hold on.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Kilaw's dog survived a fire and survived all the craziness
of possibly dying and is still around.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Is that right?
Speaker 6 (10:37):
Well, she recently passed in her sleep. For a whole age,
I got fourteen, so I had this dog since she
was like six months old. She was Western Highland Terrier
and I got her when I was a teenager.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
And I swear like she used to just run.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
She used to run away and be gone for like
a weekend, and I always knew she would come back.
But I think she was like the dog of many lives,
like a cat, like a cat or something. I remember
when I went to Japan for vacation and my mom
was dog sitting and the like. When I was finally
landed back home in Chicago, my mom's like, are you
in the country. I'm like, yeah, she goes Okay. When
I was babysitting, your dog got pack attacked, she got
(11:14):
tore completely open. She's in surgery right now. They think
she's gonna recover and she'll be you know. I'm like,
is she dead and they're like no, but we're not.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
Really sure how well she's gonna do.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
So I picked her up from surgery and then like
two weeks later, our house caught on fire, like complete fire,
and like she.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
Was found in the kitchen and she was a she
was white, She's.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
A Western Highland Terrier, completely black, just passed out in
the kitchen, you know.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
So it's like, are you sure it's not a cat lives.
Speaker 6 (11:45):
But she was like she was like barking, you know,
like they think she was just barking at the kitchen fire.
Nobody was home, but you know, the dog. So I
take her to the vet and they're like, what's this.
What's your dog's name. I'm like Dusty and They're like,
we just had a white dog named Dessy. I'm like, yeah,
that's her.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Man.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
I want to I want to, you know, to go
through all of that and then pass away into sleep though.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
It's unbelievable. That's what you want to.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
So that you don't have to make that decision, you know.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Hold on, Marco, this is sad. What happened? Marco?
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Hey, what's up?
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Mojo?
Speaker 7 (12:18):
That's about I think two years ago my dog had
to get surgery for some reason. I couldn't remember, but anyway,
my mom takes her to the takes him to the
doctor and they start prepping his leg. He had to
get surgery on his left leg. They make the incision
on his right leg. His whole right leg shaved off.
They ended up making the incision on the wrong leg,
(12:40):
so they had to they had to reprep them. He
comes home, both legs are shaved, both legs are cut open,
with a cone on his head. It was, uh, it
was pretty unreal. We ended up getting the surgery for free,
though my dad.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Was very an.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Your dad was just happy that they did the wrong
leg at first, so he got the surgery for free.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
How much money did he save.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
I think it was around nine grand or something. I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Yeah, it's no joke.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
You want to chop off the wrong leg, so I
get it. Now, you got that going to happen, right,
now that happens to humans. Though you hear the stories,
I don't think you get the surgery for free. You
just become a millionaire. You assume him, but
