In every wag, a world of love,
Tallulah brought the brightest cheer,
A gentle soul, like stars above,
Her presence made all shadows clear. Her eyes, a window to the heart,
So full of life, so pure and true,
With every step, she played her part,
In making every moment new. But time, it flows, a river wide,
And though we wish to hold it fast,
The day arrived, the ebbing tide,
Where love must linger in the past. Tallulah’s bark, her joyful run,
Now echoes in the halls of dreams,
Yet in our hearts, she is not done,
Her spirit flows in endless streams. We miss her paws, her gentle grace,
The way she’d greet us with such glee,
But in her place, a warm embrace,
Of memories that set us free. For love like hers, it never fades,
It lives within each tear, each smile,
Tallulah’s light, though heaven’s shades,
Will guide us on, through every mile.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Soon now way too bad, Jason, Why the son? Just
when shot? When you shot you? Ba? Hello everyone, and
(00:32):
welcome to another solo episode from Ranger Ryan on The
Ranger Ryan Show. I'm not sure on the ETA the
return of Judge Jay, but we don't need to worry
about that. You know. It is Pumpkin Spice season. We
are living our best lives, just talking about everything, all
(00:53):
the goings on in my personal journal, which I share
with you twice a week. And if you'd like to
share something with me person personal or not, preferably not,
you can send us an email at Ranger ryanshow at
outlook dot com and we will not respond, but we
(01:16):
will read it on the air and respond that way.
And I hope to get more than one and do
a show around it. But it's hard when you only
have a handful of listeners. To get all of them
to commit, you know, to an actual email, you had
to type up Ranger Ryan Show at outlook dot com.
(01:41):
Then you had to put some in the subject line,
which I would put something to the effect of listener
mail Now, listener is a hard word. Mail bag? Do that?
Do mail bag? Just one word? Easy? And then you
had to come up with an actual question or a
story or a joke. This is a PG podcast. To
(02:06):
keep that in mind, do try to keep my show
acceptable for younger viewers. Not that anybody will want to
listen to what I have to say that is under
the age of thirty, but you know, nonetheless, the option
is there. I actually had a much more popular show
(02:27):
when it was explicit. So I don't know if that
speaks to the culture or if that just speaks to
I don't know. I have no idea. I just know
that I did much better when I had much worse language.
All Right, so today we're going to talk about I
(02:50):
honestly have no idea. I have no idea what to
talk about because I don't know. I need Judge Jay
to you know, kind of put things together because I'm
I'm you know, I got a lot going on. I
got a lot going on. I know. I didn't bring
(03:12):
it up at the start of the show, but we
recently lost our dog, our dog of sixteen years, who
has been clickety clacketting on the hardwood throughout the past
(03:34):
ten years of doing the podcast. And it's not been
it's not been a good fort eight hours. So things are,
you know, maybe I'll just talk about dogs because it
is a personal journal podcast, and if anything, I think
(04:00):
that pets are are a nice addition to life. I
will say that Josie are our current dog. Are our
little dog here, our two year old was purchased in preparation,
(04:25):
uh for our older dog, Tallula, who passed AH, so
the transition wouldn't be as hard on the kids wouldn't
be as hard on anyone you know, is just going
to be replacements. I mean, you know, it sounds horrible,
(04:48):
especially since you know we've had Tahlula for so long.
It's just with my kids, it's been a constant in
their lives, and she I wasn't I'm not going to
say she was nice to everyone. She was nice to
(05:12):
the four of us, but she didn't necessarily get along
with other dogs or other kids or other adults really.
But you know, I it's been it's been a rough
(05:37):
a couple of days. So when you look at the
relationship with you know, a lots of lots of different
animals and humans. We've had cats, we've had bunnies, we've
had lizards, We've had we have fish beta fish in
the kids rooms. We used to have a really nice aquarium.
(06:00):
But it's all just like kind of an ownership relationship.
I would argue that obviously cats do have personalities of
their own, but I really think that they don't. They
put up with us, but they don't love us unconditionally
as much as most dogs do. And I, you know,
(06:22):
I I think that you know, the kids are like, oh,
I should got another dog. It's like, Okay, we just
buried our dog, so let's we have a dog. Let's
focus on her because the transition has been rough for
(06:45):
most of us. I think my daughter's been pretty strong
about it. My son, he had a first reaction, but
it was fine. I think my wife and I took
it the hardest and continue to. You know, you still
have those. There's moments, you know, we try to We
(07:10):
don't want to erase her, right getting rid of her
cage or her bed or things like that. You don't
want to necessarily erase her. There's several photos in the
room I'm in right now of the dog and my kids.
(07:31):
But it's, yeah, there's a little bit of a haunting
element to it, especially being so new, just happening. There's
plenty of times where I think to fill her bowl
or I think to acknowledge her because she did spend
(07:53):
a lot of the last few weeks of her life
in her cage, and you know, you just get that
feeling like, oh, Okay, I don't have to check on her,
I don't have to carry her outside because she's not
in the moon to walk. I don't have to clean
(08:16):
up the messes or worry about her special dietary needs
at the moment because she's no longer with us, And
it's I don't know, it's I guess in a way,
I'm I'm glad that she has moved on. I mean,
(08:39):
it really was a rough week. She actually just came
out of surgery three weeks ago. And the reason we
went ahead with the surgery is because they were like, oh, yeah,
she's got you know, two years probably left dinner. But
her recovery from that surgery was not easy. And I
(09:06):
understand she's old, and I understand she's stubborn, and you know,
she wanted to do what she wanted to do, so
we just let her do what she wanted to do.
So she will be sorely missed. Don't plan on forgetting
(09:31):
anything about her. I mean, she you know, we had
her when she was a puppy, she was actually at
the old house with us, and you know, had her.
A lot of a lot of things in our lives
happened will she was in her family with us. But
(09:54):
it's important to you know, we showed our respects. We
will continue to honor her and expect the puppy to
be as good, if not hopefully better behaved. You know,
it's funny when you get a new dog when you
(10:17):
have an old dog in the house. At least with us,
we had this impression that, you know, Tulula would teach
Josie how to how to be a dog, right because
who else, who else is going to teach a dog
besides another dog, Like when to bark, you know, like
(10:39):
when the doorbell rings, that's a sign to lose it,
to lose your mind. If you have to go to
the restroom, you go to the door and you scratch
or bark or something to get their attention if you're
out of water, which happened many times when I was
working in the office, more often than I do now.
(11:03):
You know, she would do this weird thing of scratching
at the bathroom, which is not where we get the
dog's water. But she would often that was like a sign.
And it's like, first of all, she was too small
to drink out of a toilet, So I don't know,
I don't I never really understood the the reason for
scratching the bathroom door, but that's what she did. And
(11:30):
it's funny. You get used to things and you you
just think about things, miss things. And I hope she
she did as much as she could in the past
two years, teaching Josie how to how to be a
good dog in this house and what what to do
(11:54):
and what not to do. And I'm not going to
say she was the kindest mentor, but I do think
Telula did show her some of the ropes. And I
think my family is going to be okay. I think
we It was good to have Josie with us. It
(12:16):
was actually kind of touching. So we buried Tullul in
the bank. We planted a hosta over the burial site.
We placed a stone that we created with her name
(12:42):
and different rocks, and you know, we did a little service,
I guess. And Josie brought over one of her it's
like a dental chew. She placed it on the dirt
(13:04):
and sat on the dirt pile, and I guess that
was her way of saying goodbye, So it's very very touching.
All right, Well, I think that was the most personal
of the Personal Journal podcasts, which is I can actually
(13:25):
see Josie looking at me outside right now. I think
she wants to come in, all right. So music wise,
I think I'll go instrumental today to be appropriate for
the situation. I'm not sure. I know, I know who
(13:47):
knew it was going to be such a such a
deep show that we do here. All right, Let's see
what I spin on and hopefully it's something. Hopefully it's
not metal one of what are some of the metal?
What else is bad on here? Dance will be bad?
(14:12):
All right? Even okay, let me spin it, Okay, I
guess that works, and landing on folk folk music, so
(14:35):
a folk instrumental will be coming your way after I
say my goodby is here hopefully. I know he said
two or three weeks, but I haven't. He wanted me
to come over and help, which will give you some
sort of some sort of teaser as to what he's
(14:57):
been up to the past two weeks least, So we
will see if we'll see if he's back. I don't
know find out, but as always, thank you for sticking around.
I'm sure this episode was a little off brand, but
when life happens, it's good to talk about it, you know,
(15:20):
all right, So thank you as always for listening. Until
next time, I am Ranger Ryan, and you've been listening
to the Ranger Ryan show you well, I I thing
(17:58):
