ABOUT THIS EPISODE
I learned 'nope rope' is in fact, very offensive to a snake. Even a calm little milksnake can leave a mark. We’re joined by Joyce from Animal Care Alliance, who brings Jewel an apricot milksnake and a perfect lesson in wildlife safety. We break down the simple stripe-pattern guidance people remember from childhood, why education reptiles help kids replace fear with respect, and what responsible exotic pet care actually requires.
Then the conversation opens up into the bigger mission behind the moment: Animal Care Alliance is a nonprofit veterinary clinic that also provides wildlife rehabilitation and care for native birds, raptors, and mammals. We talk about what that looks like day to day, why fundraising never stops, and how small actions like saving aluminum cans can turn into real medical dollars for animals that need help.
We also preview Whiskers, Whiskey and Wine at Forest Hills Country Club April 17th at 7pm, including live and virtual bidding, sponsors, and some of the most unusual auction items around: animal-created paintings from a turkey vulture, an owl, and Jewel herself, plus celebrity donations and travel experiences. Finally, we get into community animal welfare problems that do not show up on a cute adoption post, like unvaccinated pets, distemper risks, spay and neuter work, and a new outreach grant aimed at meeting families where they are. Subscribe, share this with an animal lover, and leave a review with one question you want us to ask Joyce next time.

TRANSCRIPT 🔗
00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:05.280
I figured uh this would be it just b it's biting me right now.
00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:06.639
Oh it is biting you.
00:00:06.959 --> 00:00:09.199
Life inscripted with Kevin Chef.
00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:16.559
Hi.
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:18.719
Hi Jewel.
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:22.480
So Joyce, welcome back.
00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:23.280
Thank you.
00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:26.320
Joyce is from the Animal Care Alliance.
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:32.799
So uh obviously she brought this creature named Jewel.
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:34.240
Tell me about Jewel.
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:38.560
Jewel is an apricot Pueblin milksnake.
00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:38.960
Okay.
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:40.399
She's a king snake.
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:42.000
Um yeah, she's just cool.
00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:46.000
She needed a good home, and we do lots of education programs for kids.
00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:49.439
As a matter of fact, we're going to Cope Environmental Center for camp this Friday.
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:53.840
And um, we didn't have very many reptiles, and kids really love snakes.
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:59.200
A lot of times their parents are back in the back cowering, but uh kids really love snakes.
00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:04.640
So um anyway, we decided that we'd make Jewel part of our education program, and she's working out great.
00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:13.519
So fun fact for people tuned in or watching, um, Jewel is the first snake I've ever held.
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:16.560
And that was like last uh about a month ago.
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:17.359
Home show, yeah.
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:18.560
At the home business.
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:23.680
And I've I seen her on your um, where are you going?
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:38.400
I seen her on Facebook, and uh you posted pictures of her, and I was like, and I seen kids holding her, and I'm like, I doubt I doubt it's killed anybody yet.
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:45.519
So um I thought like that this would be the great time for me to hold a snake.
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:47.760
You're natural, you're doing great.
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:52.799
And so far things are alright.
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:56.079
So far, so far things are alright.
00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:57.280
She's really cool.
00:01:57.519 --> 00:01:58.079
She's cool.
00:01:58.400 --> 00:01:59.359
Feeling pretty active.
00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:05.599
Um so we were looking it up earlier, and there's a snake that looks similar to this one.
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:06.799
A coral snake?
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:12.240
Yeah, is that the red on yellow will hurt a fellow.
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:13.039
Kill a fellow.
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:15.120
There are lots of different rhymes.
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:15.439
Oh.
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:19.520
Red next to black, friend of Jack, or Don't Turn Back.
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:21.439
There's a Jack over there on the studio.
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:22.000
There you go.
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:23.840
This is your friend Jack.
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:38.400
So the order of her stripes is what makes her an another reason to make her a great education animal because you can show these colors in order are safe and non-venomous.
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:44.080
Whereas if you have obviously uh red next to yellow, then you need to be concerned.
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:45.759
So it's good for kids to know that.
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:49.520
I I'm a kid because I would want to know the difference.
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:50.960
Absolutely.
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:59.680
Um, part of this, part of coming in today, um Animal Care Alliance, tell us a little bit about the Animal Care Alliance and what you do.
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:06.080
We are a nonprofit veterinary clinic located behind our Erland College on Abington Pike.
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:14.639
Um, and one thing that makes us different than just taking care of the normal dogs, cats, and occasional rabbit is that we are permitted by uh U.S.
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:25.199
Fish and Wildlife to take care of native birds, raptors, songbirds, and um Indiana Department of Natural Resources to um rehabilitate mammals.
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:30.719
So on any given day, you can come in and see we got a baby squirrel this morning.
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:34.719
Um, we'll get foxes, even bobcats, raccoons.
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:42.240
Um, we have a lot of um education raptors, red-tailed hawks, we have a turkey vulture and your favorite Ozzy, the red-tailed hawks.
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:43.039
Ozzy's cool.
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:44.400
Yeah, she is very cool.
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:50.240
So animals that are not able to be released back into the wild, we can add to an education permit.
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:56.639
And then, like I said, take them and introduce kids to them and teach kids about their species, and it's a cool program.
00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:59.039
So that is what makes us different.
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:05.680
So being a nonprofit, we're always um tasked with the challenges of fundraising.
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:06.000
Right.
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:12.319
So, what are some um some methods of fundraising and how people can get involved in that?
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:15.759
Um, something so simple as saving your aluminum cans.
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:18.720
We have two great big dog crates out in the back of our property.
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:30.879
And um, one day this week, they uh Integrity Metals collects our cans, and we are very, very grateful to them because it's a nasty, dirty job, especially in the summertime when bees are out, you know, and that kind of thing.
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:35.199
It's it's it's a dirty job, but they come and collect our cans and then bring us cash back.
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:37.759
And we made about$600 one day this week.
00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:42.879
So you you may think that it's just a little thing, but um those cans really add up.
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:47.199
Um, yeah, we we love, of course, donations of of cash.
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:52.000
Uh we have an upcoming fundraiser on April 26, or I'm sorry, April 17th.
00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:53.839
And this is the second year for it.
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:55.759
Um, it's called Whiskers, Whiskey and Wine.
00:04:55.839 --> 00:05:02.639
It's at Forest Hills Country Club on Friday night, and um we expect to make some some nice money from that too.
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:03.120
Nice.
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:05.199
Which will all go back to helping the animals.
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:08.000
Um, so last year was your first year.
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:08.879
How did that go?
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:09.920
It went great.
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:11.920
We really didn't expect it to be such a success.
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:19.199
We thought, well, a few people will come and they'll, you know, enjoy it, and maybe they'll tell other people, and then next year it'll be a little bit bigger, and so on, and so forth.
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:22.079
But it was it was a great success last year.
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:25.519
Lots and lots of attendees, and everybody seemed to have a really good time.
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:28.240
And we've got lots of people signing up already this year.
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:30.480
So um, we were pleasantly surprised.
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:31.759
It's it's good.
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:33.759
She was like twitching.
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:34.560
That was kind of weird.
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:35.759
I think she was just rearranging.
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:37.040
Getting ready to eat you.
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:37.680
I don't know.
00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:39.680
Come on, don't play.
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:41.279
You're too busy.
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:42.319
Is it no?
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:43.759
I'm just kidding.
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:45.839
Okay.
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.839
Um, so uh what are what are some unique ways?
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:51.839
What are some unique things that you're doing?
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:55.199
Because um someone's done a painting already, right?
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:56.160
Absolutely.
00:05:56.319 --> 00:06:04.639
We did this last year and made we made$3,100 on a painting that was done by our turkey vulture and um a bard owl.
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:06.800
So this year we're featuring Jewel.
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:08.879
She's done a painting and it was wonderful.
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:15.920
We put her in a box with um some art paper with little dots of paint on it.
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:18.639
And she, it was like she had been programmed to do this.
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:25.920
She covered every single dot in like maybe um, I don't know, 40 seconds, something like that, and then just exited the box.
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:28.000
So then we have this finished painting.
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:38.160
And um, we also have a crested caracara, which is not native to this uh part of the country, it's native to Mexico, um, southern United States.
00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:43.120
It's a gorgeous bird, and she did a painting as well, so we will auction those off.
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:48.319
Um Susan, Suzanne Allen designs matted and framed them last year.
00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:51.839
They're absolutely gorgeous, and she's doing the same thing again for us this year.
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:54.000
Very, very talented, nice lady.
00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:55.759
Um, and then we Dr.
00:06:55.839 --> 00:07:03.600
Costick, our veterinarian, also had um note cards done with a picture of each animal, each artist on the back.
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:07.040
Yeah, and they're being sold at the Village Forager and Paint the Town.
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:08.639
So it's just kind of blossomed.
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:12.240
We didn't expect it to go so great, but it's it's been really fun.
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:17.759
So this year, because our artists are um more tropical, we have a tropical theme going on.
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:23.040
So, and you can see um the link on our Facebook page, Animal Care Alliance's Facebook page.
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:29.120
And you can order tickets or find out what auction items we have for sale, see who the sponsors are.
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:31.360
We're very grateful to our sponsors.
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:32.720
That's exciting.
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:38.079
Um, a friend of mine dropped a comment on the Facebook uh a no probe.
00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:44.639
And that's what I've always seen snakes as, but I figured uh this would be it.
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:47.040
It just but it's biting me right now.
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:48.959
Oh, it is biting you, quit.
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:49.600
I'm sorry.
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:51.120
Here, you want me to take her?
00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:53.199
Why would she bite me?
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:53.839
I don't know.
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:55.040
Have you been holding a mouse?
00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:57.120
God No, I haven't.
00:07:57.279 --> 00:07:58.240
I don't see any blood.
00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:06.160
She's upset because I put her in that pillowcase to bring her here, which that's okay the best way to transport them.
00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:07.600
It didn't hurt.
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:15.040
So is she mad because?
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:21.600
She's not a buyer.
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:24.800
She didn't like being called a no-broke.
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:28.000
She didn't like being called a no-broke.
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:30.240
She heard me call her a no-broke.
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:31.839
Maybe that's it.
00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:33.679
She's offended.
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:40.320
Anyway, like I said, I did bring her in a pill case, which she did not like.
00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:46.639
She was kind of like play biting because it was like a little and then it just kept going.
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:49.039
This is awesome though.
00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:50.799
This is why we're live streaming.
00:08:58.720 --> 00:08:59.919
In her own time.
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:03.200
But look, but said, my bad.
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:06.320
Oh, she's coming.
00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:06.960
She's going.
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:20.320
Yeah, I tried transporting them in like cat cages and stuff, and they go right through the grate on the front, so I've lost them in my vehicle before, so switch to um pillowcases.
00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:24.000
That was crazy.
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:25.519
I'm sorry.
00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:26.799
No blood though, right?
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:28.240
Oh, little blood.
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:35.039
And it was it felt like a scratch, and I'm like, she's biting me.
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:36.240
She's got a little mouth.
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:36.879
Oh yeah, yeah.
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:37.919
Fingers are big enough.
00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:38.960
She probably couldn't have done a lot.
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:39.919
It wasn't.
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:44.559
Um it didn't hurt, but I'm like, what the hell?
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:46.240
I just got bit by a snake.
00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:47.200
I I know.
00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:48.240
It was your first snake.
00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:50.960
Now, what was the red, yellow, red, black what?
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:53.600
She's non-venomous.
00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:54.320
Well.
00:09:57.360 --> 00:09:58.080
Put your head between your knees.
00:09:58.480 --> 00:09:59.039
Right.
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:04.720
Yeah.
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:06.639
She was not feeling that.
00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:07.759
That was crazy.
00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:12.639
Um this is why, and she's a female, right?
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:13.440
We think so.
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:14.399
Trust issues.
00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:17.039
That's what that's where that's that's where this derives from.
00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:18.879
I have trust issues with females.
00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:23.360
Uh what's she doing?
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:29.279
Do you think it was like the the sack?
00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:30.799
The pillowcase?
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:32.960
Sh she wasn't happy.
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:33.279
Yeah.
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:36.159
I don't think she's can't see any other reason because she's not a biter.
00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:39.440
We've had her for about a year and she's never gone after anyone.
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:40.960
At least she done like she did you.
00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:45.039
But that's crazy because I can hold Ozzy.
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:46.240
So yeah.
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:49.440
That's that's the next guest instead.
00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:50.080
Okay.
00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:52.080
I'm sorry.
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:53.360
Oh, it's all good.
00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:57.039
Um, so when is this fundraiser again?
00:10:57.360 --> 00:10:59.039
Friday, April 17th.
00:10:59.279 --> 00:10:59.600
Okay.
00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:01.519
Starts at six o'clock, I think.
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:02.639
Six or seven to ten.
00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:03.679
At four seals.
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:04.240
Yeah.
00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:08.399
How can people um donate?
00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:19.440
Um they can we have uh a PayPal link, a Venmo on our uh website, animalcarealliance.com.
00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:20.000
Okay.
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:27.679
And again, if um they want to look into what animal or what Whiskers, Whiskey, and Wine is gonna bring, uh our Facebook page.
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:29.440
All kinds of information on there.
00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:30.720
There she goes.
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:34.559
You're doing all right, sweetheart.
00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:37.600
I you looked out the window.
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:41.360
Oh, she's going on your shirt?
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:43.279
She does, yeah.
00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:48.559
Oh no, she's in, she's alright.
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:49.600
I still like her.
00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:50.159
That's all right.
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:51.200
Thank you.
00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:52.960
She didn't mean to.
00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:55.279
It's a little itty little bitty.
00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:57.120
Like a scratch.
00:11:57.600 --> 00:11:59.519
She's really growing a lot, too.
00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:02.080
I think these guys just get between like two and three feet.
00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:05.200
So they're really a popular snake for people to have as pets.
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:06.799
But as with any exotic.
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:08.159
Oh, I can see why, yeah.
00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:09.679
Okay, I can see why.
00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:17.279
People need to do their homework so that they take care of them appropriate and appropriately and feed them the right thing and keep them warm enough.
00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:26.480
And you know, you hear stories about you know you can get heat rocks and things like that for reptiles to be on, but then you hear stories about them being burned because the rock was too hot.
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:32.399
And oh yeah, so they're it's not like it's not as easy as getting a kitten, really.
00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:33.120
Right.
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:33.759
Obviously.
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:38.799
But cats buy it all the time and stuff, so it's true.
00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:41.279
She's looking at your arm.
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:42.480
Our cats don't.
00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:44.879
Yeah, you're animal caroline's cats don't buy it.
00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:45.840
Yeah, yeah.
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:47.200
Do you have a few cats out there?
00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:47.840
We have a few.
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:48.320
A couple.
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:48.799
Yep.
00:12:48.960 --> 00:13:04.159
As a matter of fact, that's one thing that we're we're hoping that we can do at Whiskers Whiskey and Wine is have uh a kitten feeding station because this is kitten season, so we have lots and lots of kittens, and our staff are working round the clock to bottle feed those babies that don't have moms anymore.
00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:05.840
And uh, yeah, it was fun.
00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:06.480
Yeah.
00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:09.120
But a lot of work.
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:11.360
I'm just so fascinated with her.
00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:15.120
But I'm not gonna hold her again for a while a little bit.
00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:16.799
A little draw.
00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:19.600
I don't, but it wasn't like an aggressive, like she was trying to eat.
00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:21.039
She was just gnawing on you, wasn't she?
00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:22.639
Yeah, it was like a play bite.
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:23.120
Yeah.
00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:24.000
We'll go with that.
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:24.720
Yes, too.
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:25.840
We'll go with the play bite.
00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:27.279
Uh Amy Miller's on here.
00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:28.639
Hey, Amy Miller.
00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:30.799
She missed the action.
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:31.360
Yeah.
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:32.480
Kevin got bit.
00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:33.840
I got bit by the snake.
00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:34.799
Snake bite.
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:36.480
This will go viral.
00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:45.279
Well, we have um Amy and Jai are submitting um a painting by Brev.
00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:53.919
Um, Brev's owner was a fallen officer, Sierra at Burton, and Brev was her um canine officer.
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:56.480
And that dog lives with Amy and Jai now.
00:13:56.559 --> 00:14:00.879
So we sent them home with paint and um canvas and stuff like that.
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:02.240
So it was hilarious.
00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:04.799
I think you'll have some of those videos in your slideshow, right?
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:05.600
Yep.
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:11.679
We're very grateful to Kevin because he's creating the slideshow for Whiskey Whiskers, Whiskey and Wine, which he did last year as well.
00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:13.039
And it was just fabulous.
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:17.759
But um, some of those videos with Brev painting were hilarious.
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:21.919
Amy was trying so hard to get Brev to walk across the painting, you know.
00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:26.320
We so we'd have footprints and paint, and he he just wasn't having it.
00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:31.600
So she was trying to lure him with a uh spoonful of peanut butter, and it it was pretty cute.
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:32.879
So that's cool.
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:35.919
He was uh they had him up here um last weekend.
00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:38.399
He was up here and we did a bunch of videos.
00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:41.360
Um and I learned that he likes Twinkies.
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:42.240
Oh, does he?
00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:44.000
He's a Twinkie guy.
00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:44.879
Yeah.
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:48.720
But um, yeah, Rev is cool.
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:53.039
Rev is Rev is cool, and uh the Sierra thing was pretty unfortunate.
00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:57.519
And so they have the foundation they actually put together last year.
00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:05.360
So um they'll be doing the the 140 challenge and the canine trials, you know, they'll do that every year.
00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:11.919
I just heard about the canine trials from a friend of mine not very long ago, and that sounds like a wonderful thing to go see.
00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:14.879
Yeah, so you can go see it.
00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:20.559
Um, I'll have to put the date on the screen when I publish this because I forget the day off the top.
00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:22.720
If she's still watching, she can comment.
00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:26.399
Um but it also counts for their training.
00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:30.240
Uh the police officers, so they get credits for the training, the canine officers.
00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:35.919
Um, go see it, but don't bring any personal pets with you because they're out and about with their dogs.
00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:45.759
So um they did they did uh and they'll have more videos come out on the Sierra Burton Foundation Facebook, um, and they talk about some of those topics.
00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:47.759
Um like don't bring your dogs in.
00:15:47.919 --> 00:15:48.240
Sure.
00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:51.039
But they do encourage the public to come see it.
00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:53.679
Uh May 16th, she just commented.
00:15:53.840 --> 00:16:07.840
Um, so May 16th at the fairgrounds, and uh um there'll be food trucks, vendors, um, and then they're doing the 140 challenge first, and uh that's where the officers they do the 5K and the fitness challenge.
00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:12.720
There's like four exercises, uh 140 reps each, I do believe.
00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:17.120
Um and then they do the canine trials after.
00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:20.399
So that's where the dogs do their dogs.
00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:20.799
Yeah.
00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:26.080
And and the dogs were um all of the we had all three dogs in one room over here.
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:26.720
Oh, yeah.
00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:34.720
Well, Brev was first, and then um three active dogs that are still where's this thing going?
00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:35.360
I don't know.
00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:38.159
She went in between your buttons.
00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:39.120
She did.
00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:40.720
She'll figure it out.
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:42.720
She's probably gonna try to buy my knee.
00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:44.159
Who was back there with Brev?
00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:45.279
Who which dogs?
00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:53.600
Um, so there was a a dog from Gas City, and then there was a which was really cool because the foundation actually helped them.
00:16:53.679 --> 00:17:01.360
So the Sierra Burton Foundation actually helped the um monetary help them put together their program.
00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:05.359
So many good things have come from such a tragedy, you know.
00:17:05.440 --> 00:17:07.119
It's yeah, yeah.
00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:11.039
Um, and it's a it's a good way for the legacy to continue.
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:16.079
And uh and then there was um an officer from the city and an officer from the county.
00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:18.400
So they had their three dogs.
00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:20.400
Um Brev got to do a bite.
00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:21.200
Um yeah.
00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:23.759
First one since being on the line.
00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:24.240
Wow.
00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:25.759
So we did a bite upstairs.
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:26.559
You okay?
00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:28.240
Yeah, amazing.
00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:29.519
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:30.400
Yeah.
00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:34.480
He wrote that thing, like the the sleeve.
00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:38.640
Now, hey, no, you smell my blood.
00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:39.599
No.
00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:41.279
Back to the scene of the crime.
00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:44.000
No, no, you've already bit me once.
00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:47.279
We can't.
00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:49.519
Maybe next time.
00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:52.000
I see you.
00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:54.000
Well, I'll hold you again.
00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:55.200
But not today.
00:17:57.440 --> 00:17:57.599
Yeah.
00:17:57.839 --> 00:17:59.200
It's got a teeny little mouth too.
00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:00.400
Look how tiny her head is.
00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:01.359
Yeah.
00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:06.400
Which is another factor of like why I was like, oh, this first snake I'll ever hold.
00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:08.640
You can barely see its head.
00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:11.839
It blends right in.
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:15.759
Until it was on its tongue.
00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:20.319
Um, so what other item who what other animals are doing paintings?
00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:21.359
Are you any more?
00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:25.920
Um We have a lot of celebrity donations.
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:29.599
These are not animal paintings, but have you ever heard of a William William Wegman?
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:36.640
He's the guy that did all the Weimariner books, you know, where he'd position them in cute and put clothes on them and stuff like that.
00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:40.720
Yeah, we have um his autograph, and we have, let's see, who else?
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:42.240
Um, Jack Nicholas.
00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:42.799
Okay.
00:18:43.039 --> 00:18:44.079
Yeah, with autograph.
00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:44.880
And what Dr.
00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:48.799
Costic, Stacey Costick asked them to do was draw a doodle.
00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:55.279
So he drew uh like a golf course, and which is I thought totally appropriate and really, really cute.
00:18:55.680 --> 00:19:00.079
Um, we have a Dolly Parton autograph, and we have a Carol Burnett autograph.
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:03.759
And my favorite is Henry Winkler, the Fonz, you remember back that far?
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:04.480
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:06.640
Yeah, he's he went all out.
00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:16.160
He sent a picture of himself holding a rainbow trout, and I can't remember what the connection was, but a little card in there saying, you know, good luck with your event, and it was just really, really nice.
00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:21.440
I mean, it's kind of a uh a down-to-earth type of person, you know, it just it was fun.
00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:24.319
And then we have some um other auction items.
00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:26.160
Let's see, there's a trip.
00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:29.279
Um hang on.
00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:32.400
Uh golf trip to Pinehurst in North Carolina.
00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:33.599
Stay back.
00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:43.039
Um a Broadway trip for two, including dinner from with a cast member from your chosen show.
00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:43.680
Okay.
00:19:46.160 --> 00:19:48.640
Um doesn't faze you at all.
00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:49.920
No, it's okay.
00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:53.039
Nice tie, bro.
00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:56.000
It does go with my outfit, doesn't it?
00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:57.599
It goes with my shirt.
00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:05.759
I'm weak.
00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:09.519
Uh Amy said it's better that I got bit by the snake than Brev.
00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:10.640
That's true.
00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:11.440
That's true.
00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:13.200
That that is true.
00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:19.359
Um yeah, Brev, Brev's not like a major people dog.
00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:20.880
That's what they said.
00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:22.559
He's very lovable, but not a major dog.
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:23.519
He doesn't like crowds.
00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:24.480
Yeah, yeah.
00:20:24.799 --> 00:20:26.079
Just a couple people.
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:36.640
Um, one of them, one of the officers that took Brev right after the incident, um, he came up here, and Brev was already up here, right?
00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:46.640
And Brev was sitting over here with the the three people he does like, and the officer came in and brev was just like, and it I swear the dog did a double take.
00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:52.079
He looked, he was like, Oh, and then he was like, Yeah, that was crazy.
00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:52.799
Yeah, yeah.
00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:55.200
So he's got his people.
00:20:55.359 --> 00:20:57.119
Yeah, he sniffed my hand.
00:20:57.599 --> 00:21:00.000
Like we passed the they passed the test.
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:02.880
Yeah, Ashley's like, don't even look at him, don't make eye contact.
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:04.000
My God.
00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:07.119
Way to not give me anxiety.
00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:07.759
Who told you?
00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:09.519
Don't look at the dog, Ashley.
00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:11.119
Um Green.
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:13.599
Um, she's on their on their um foundation board.
00:21:13.839 --> 00:21:14.480
The foundation board.
00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:18.160
They're really good friends, but but I like animals.
00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:22.079
Uh let me put the dog, but so I didn't, I I looked at him.
00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:28.640
He looked at me a couple times, but in the hallway, he like he snipped my hand like he gave me a bump.
00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:30.160
And I was like, oh, we're getting somewhere.
00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:30.960
Yeah.
00:21:31.839 --> 00:21:35.599
That's funny though, because they do uh eye contact does mean a lot to dogs.
00:21:35.680 --> 00:21:40.559
I mean, it's it's a threat, you know, very often to a dog to make eye contact.
00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:55.519
But we do a lot of trap trapping cats, like feral cats, and we bring them in, we catch them in traps, we bring them in, we spay or neuter them, put them back out, we ear tip their left ear so that for identification purposes, you know you've got a spade or neutered cat on your block, if you can see that.
00:21:55.759 --> 00:21:59.759
So um, when we do that, a lot of times we'll go, don't make eye contact.
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:03.599
You know, you're watching the cat out of the corner of your eye, coming into the trap.
00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:07.680
Don't make eye contact because I swear those cats know they do.
00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:09.440
They know uh they know what's up.
00:22:09.839 --> 00:22:10.640
They're watching us.
00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:11.680
Don't go in.
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:14.559
These animals uh they smarter than we are.
00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:16.079
I think at least they're smarter than me.
00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:16.880
Yeah, me too.
00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:19.119
Um where'd that thing go?
00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:21.279
It's it's down here.
00:22:24.079 --> 00:22:24.960
It's chilling now.
00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:25.119
Yeah.
00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:26.319
It's just gonna go to sleep.
00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:27.440
I hope so.
00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:34.799
I hope so.
00:22:35.119 --> 00:22:42.000
Now, you probably have speaking of animal bites and stuff, you've probably experienced quite a few in your times.
00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:42.559
I have.
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:44.559
Well, it's like the craziest.
00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:46.079
Dog bites.
00:22:46.319 --> 00:22:46.640
Really?
00:22:46.960 --> 00:22:52.079
Yeah, my biggest scars are from dog bites, and yeah, they weren't always intended for me.
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:58.960
Like I tried to save a little dog one time and I have yeah, scars from that, but um, I just got in the wrong place at the wrong time.
00:22:59.279 --> 00:23:01.680
Trying to rescue them and trying to work on them.
00:23:01.839 --> 00:23:02.160
Yeah.
00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:04.000
Surgeries and everything.
00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:10.000
We're you know, our staff is really good and we very rarely have a bite.
00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:15.039
It's more like cat scratches than anything else, but our staff know what they're doing.
00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:16.000
Yeah, cat.
00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:20.160
I feel like cats are worse, way worse than dogs when it comes to some stuff.
00:23:20.319 --> 00:23:20.640
Yeah.
00:23:20.799 --> 00:23:24.880
Um my cat though, act it's like he acts like a dog.
00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:26.240
The sphinx.
00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:27.759
I have a hairless cat.
00:23:28.079 --> 00:23:31.519
Um their personalities, they just totally chill.
00:23:31.680 --> 00:23:32.319
They're totally.
00:23:32.559 --> 00:23:34.319
Are they I've never heard him hiss or nothing.
00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:35.759
Is that a sphinx trait?
00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:40.799
I I don't know if Amy's still watching, but it's the brother to their first one.
00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:41.599
Oh, really?
00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:42.240
Chicken.
00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:44.000
See, I didn't realize they had a Sphinx.
00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:45.839
They got two or three.
00:23:46.079 --> 00:23:46.319
Really?
00:23:46.559 --> 00:23:49.200
But it's the it's the brother of theirs.
00:23:49.359 --> 00:23:51.920
And theirs, I guess, is a complete asshole.
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:54.160
And mine's totally opposite.
00:23:54.240 --> 00:23:58.160
And I know exactly where this came from because no one ever they know they're like, how's yours?
00:23:58.480 --> 00:23:59.119
Chill.
00:23:59.839 --> 00:24:04.559
When I brought both of them back from Fort Wayne together, I dropped theirs off at their house.
00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:14.400
And when I did, there was they already had like a bunch of animals, and uh like they like start letting it sniff the other animals in.
00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:19.200
The other animals are and it just starts hissing because it goes in like complete like fight or flies.
00:24:19.599 --> 00:24:20.480
It's go time.
00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:23.119
Mine hasn't made.
00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:24.480
Because it's only cat.
00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:28.880
Only cat doesn't have to pay rent, doesn't have to do anything.
00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:34.240
All right, so he is an asshole, but we love him.
00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:36.559
Um worked his way into their hearts, that's okay.
00:24:36.799 --> 00:24:38.240
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:42.559
Um, so it's funny because they're complete opposites, but they're brothers.
00:24:43.519 --> 00:24:44.559
Do they get cold?
00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:46.880
Do you have to worry about keeping it warmer for them?
00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:52.880
They do get cold, but in my mind, my theory, I don't I don't put all the sweaters on.
00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:57.119
Like I did actually put a Tiger King costume on mine once.
00:24:57.759 --> 00:25:00.960
But it wasn't like thick and overbearing and stuff.
00:25:01.200 --> 00:25:04.880
But um I let them figure it out.
00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:06.000
I let him figure it out.
00:25:06.079 --> 00:25:08.079
So there's blankets and stuff in the house.
00:25:08.240 --> 00:25:09.519
He'll get if he's cold.
00:25:09.599 --> 00:25:15.599
So I let him do his regulation stuff, but I won't take him out in the winter time or when it's really hot.
00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:17.119
I won't take him outside.
00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:20.319
Um we we go on car rides sometime.
00:25:20.400 --> 00:25:21.599
But you like to ride in the car?
00:25:21.759 --> 00:25:24.640
I took him to the milkhouse one time and he's on the dashboard.
00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:26.400
Did they love it?
00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:28.240
Yeah, yeah, it was crazy.
00:25:28.400 --> 00:25:30.319
Um ice cream.
00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:37.759
No, I should get him Pupco, but um But yeah, so what else?
00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:40.799
So you have you have some notes here.
00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:45.359
So with this event, do you want to talk about these sponsors?
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:46.319
Yeah, that'd be great.
00:25:46.480 --> 00:25:50.079
Um Blue Buffalo for the second year in a row is our title sponsor.
00:25:50.240 --> 00:25:54.319
Um, we also have we yeah, we have um Primex Plastics.
00:25:54.400 --> 00:25:58.319
We called it that sponsorship level, uh Tail Trail Blazer.
00:25:58.400 --> 00:26:04.480
And then we have several paw partners, Brady Ware, Wayne Bank, Bed Bath and Biscuits, and Jason and Heather Troutwine.
00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:08.160
So a lot of nice people are supporting what we're doing that night.
00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:12.720
Um we have um pastor d'oeuvres, some signature drinks.
00:26:12.799 --> 00:26:17.200
Everybody gets a free drink uh ticket and um live music.
00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:23.039
Um yeah, it was just I mean, thinking back last year, um, it was just really fun.
00:26:23.119 --> 00:26:23.839
It was chill.
00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:29.200
All kinds of people from all kinds all walks of life were there and having fun.
00:26:29.359 --> 00:26:34.799
We took Zoya last year, the great big Silicotta tortoise that you've had here before.
00:26:35.279 --> 00:26:37.440
She went last year and she was a big hit.
00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:41.119
I mean, people were getting down on the floor, getting selfies with Zoya.
00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:42.240
It was it was pretty neat.
00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:47.920
Zoya's like 90 pounds now, it's not as easy to take her places as it once was.
00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:54.319
She needs uh, because we had her in here, we had her on uh I think it was the old table, but we had her on top of this table here.
00:26:54.960 --> 00:27:07.759
And uh, and then that was the same day that um the old lieutenant governor, yes, Susan Kraut, yeah, that she had a podcast with me right after yours.
00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:10.720
Right before she she didn't know what to think.
00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:12.240
Yeah, she didn't know what to think.
00:27:12.559 --> 00:27:19.519
And I I think purposefully I didn't tell her that people would be rolling up with some animals.
00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:26.880
And uh and then uh yeah, she was like, Richmond's wild, but she really loved it.
00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:30.240
Um and then we walked Zoya like a dog down the sidewalk.
00:27:31.200 --> 00:27:31.839
Yeah, yeah.
00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:35.359
Um there she's not fast, but she's mighty.
00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:38.559
She is, and she's like on it, you know.
00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:40.000
There's she's like a tank.
00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:43.359
There's no getting she just and she's like that at home, sadly.
00:27:43.519 --> 00:27:48.240
You know, I'll have a bowl of dog food in the middle of the floor and she'll just walk right through it and crush it.
00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:57.039
And yeah, she's she's really got cabin fever right now because she knows when the days start to get longer and it's warming up a little bit and she's just making laps.
00:27:57.119 --> 00:27:58.400
She just wants to go outside.
00:27:58.480 --> 00:28:02.480
So hopefully before too long, she'll get to go out in the fenced area.
00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:07.680
And and we still have a heat lamp fixed up for her in the corner so that she has a warm place to get at night.
00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:10.799
But I'd love to let her out right now, but it's supposed to rain the next few days.
00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:15.920
So you do that because it's not warm enough for her.
00:28:16.079 --> 00:28:18.400
What's her natural environment like?
00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:22.079
She's a desert animal, so she would have come from the African desert.
00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:29.599
So I mean, I'm sure it gets it dips down, you know, probably even into the 30s at times, but it's not consistent.
00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:31.680
So um yeah, she likes it.
00:28:31.759 --> 00:28:42.240
But it as soon as it gets to maybe a low of about 50 at night, then we put her out and she's out until October, whenever the temperatures start start to grow drop again.
00:28:42.799 --> 00:28:43.759
She likes it out there.
00:28:43.839 --> 00:28:45.039
I've came out there and seen her.
00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:45.519
Yeah.
00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:50.400
Um what animals were in there with her when I came out there?
00:28:50.640 --> 00:28:52.640
Because they kept pooping on her back.
00:28:53.920 --> 00:28:55.039
Like birds or something.
00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:56.240
Chickens.
00:28:57.119 --> 00:29:00.400
Yeah, I think she was in when the chickens were.
00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:01.920
I felt so bad for her.
00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:02.400
Uh-uh.
00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:04.079
She doesn't know.
00:29:04.319 --> 00:29:04.960
She doesn't.
00:29:05.279 --> 00:29:06.000
She doesn't know.
00:29:06.160 --> 00:29:09.759
And there's almost always a cat riding on her back when she's in the house.
00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:11.519
Always.
00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:12.880
It's really funny to watch.
00:29:13.200 --> 00:29:14.000
You could care less.
00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:15.680
I bet it never gets boring out there.
00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:16.559
It doesn't.
00:29:16.720 --> 00:29:17.039
No.
00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:17.839
It's fun.
00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:20.079
It's not for everybody, but it's fun.
00:29:20.400 --> 00:29:21.440
Um, yeah.
00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:32.720
And so we talked on the phone yesterday, and you were talking about like it'd be really cool if you found um another horse or a donkey or yeah.
00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:36.079
My um we had to put my mare to sleep last week.
00:29:36.160 --> 00:29:39.759
She got really sick unexpectedly, and she has a friend named Hickory.
00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:42.880
He's a gelding, and he is just beside himself.
00:29:43.200 --> 00:29:50.559
So um we're looking for like an old mule or an old donkey um to be his friend.
00:29:50.880 --> 00:29:51.759
That'd be really cool.
00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:52.240
Yeah.
00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:55.920
And he's he's really sweet and easy to get along with.
00:29:56.400 --> 00:29:57.440
The opposite of her.
00:29:57.519 --> 00:29:58.160
I met her.
00:29:58.319 --> 00:30:00.240
Yeah, she's she was a pistol.
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:04.640
Yeah, she was uh you had to keep your eye on her or she would sneak up on you.
00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:07.200
I yeah, and she was a thoroughbred.
00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:09.359
She had been at a track one at one point in time.
00:30:09.519 --> 00:30:11.519
She had a tattoo even on her lip.
00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:15.440
And I stay away from women with tattoos on their lips.
00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:16.640
There you go.
00:30:16.880 --> 00:30:19.839
I never thought of it that way, but that could have been a sign.
00:30:20.079 --> 00:30:26.960
So um, because I remember so who was the doctor we had up here early?
00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:27.839
Um, Dr.
00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:28.559
Matt, Christina.
00:30:28.960 --> 00:30:33.599
Yeah, so I remember she was trying to warm up to her by just giving her mints or something one time.
00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:36.000
She would go over and spend some time with her.
00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:36.880
She did.
00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:39.519
Um, Savannah could be bought.
00:30:39.920 --> 00:30:40.400
Yeah.
00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:45.519
All of it, you know, any mammal can be bought with food, I feel like.
00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:52.480
Um, so I'm gonna have to figure that snake out because we can't just give her treats to be like, okay, don't bite me.
00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:53.519
Here's a treat.
00:30:53.839 --> 00:30:55.680
No, I don't know what you'd offer her.
00:30:56.000 --> 00:30:56.799
Not my hand.
00:30:57.279 --> 00:30:58.160
No, sorry.
00:30:58.319 --> 00:31:01.119
When she's hungry, yeah, she just wants to eat her regular food.
00:31:01.200 --> 00:31:04.319
There's no like, you know, here have some ice cream.
00:31:04.720 --> 00:31:06.240
Yeah, it's alright.
00:31:06.400 --> 00:31:06.720
Yeah.
00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:07.839
Um and then Dr.
00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:10.319
Costic, Stacy Costick has been here a few times.
00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:13.039
She remembered wolf hounds that that one day.
00:31:13.279 --> 00:31:14.400
Oh my god, that was like a horse.
00:31:16.880 --> 00:31:18.480
That dog was huge.
00:31:20.079 --> 00:31:22.799
Yeah, I don't dogs are fun.
00:31:23.279 --> 00:31:24.000
I like some dogs.
00:31:24.559 --> 00:31:25.279
You need some dogs.
00:31:25.599 --> 00:31:30.799
No, because um I travel a little bit and sometimes it's spontaneous.
00:31:31.200 --> 00:31:31.440
Right.
00:31:31.759 --> 00:31:33.759
And so I'm good on that.
00:31:34.079 --> 00:31:37.599
Although I enjoy seeing all the the dog posts and all the dogs.
00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:42.799
Uh unfortunately, there's like a lot of dogs for adoption everywhere, not just here.
00:31:43.759 --> 00:31:48.079
Um our community needs help.
00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:51.759
And so I want to share something that I think is just really, really neat.
00:31:51.920 --> 00:31:54.240
Um gosh, I'm not even gonna have the name right.
00:31:54.400 --> 00:31:59.839
Um Pets for Life, I think it is, and it used to be Humane Society of the United States.
00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:00.880
Does that ring a bell with you?
00:32:01.200 --> 00:32:04.880
It was a huge national organization that was very, very popular.
00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:09.680
Um, so they've changed some things and finagled around.
00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:21.680
But they we just got again, Stacey Costick is to be commended for this, um, a very nice large grant from them to be used to improve things for animals and within our community.
00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:26.319
And I think this is a a perfect town for that because we have we have some issues.
00:32:26.559 --> 00:32:38.720
And um they will be going, or the staff that are are involved will be going to Pittsburgh, I believe, to meet with these people and they will advise us on how to best use it within the community.
00:32:38.880 --> 00:32:43.440
And I'm sure some of it will be spay and neuter, some of it will be vaccinations.
00:32:43.839 --> 00:32:49.279
This is crazy, but people don't realize how to vaccinate their animals sometimes.
00:32:49.519 --> 00:32:53.599
I got called uh to South 16th Street, I don't know, two weeks ago.
00:32:53.680 --> 00:32:57.440
Um, this family had a raccoon in their front yard in the middle of the day.
00:32:57.599 --> 00:33:02.559
That's not always a red flag, but um, that they were worried about, and it was a distemper raccoon.
00:33:02.640 --> 00:33:04.720
I I wasn't surprised at all.
00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:11.680
So I caught this raccoon and the people were standing on the front porch and they were very nice, but they were keeping their distance.
00:33:11.759 --> 00:33:14.000
And they said, Do we have to worry about our dogs?
00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:16.559
And I said, Um, probably not.
00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:17.680
How old is your dog?
00:33:17.839 --> 00:33:21.119
And she said, 16, uh, but we got it from somebody else.
00:33:21.200 --> 00:33:23.200
And I said, Well, when was it last vaccinated?
00:33:23.279 --> 00:33:25.359
And she said, We've never had it vaccinated.
00:33:25.599 --> 00:33:36.319
I said, Well, you know, if for one thing, it's state law that you have to provide rabies vaccinations for the animal, but also to keep it healthy, you need your distemper parvo vaccinations, so on and so forth.
00:33:36.480 --> 00:33:39.759
They had no clue that they needed to vaccinate their dog.
00:33:39.920 --> 00:34:00.319
So part of what this grant is going to do, it's going to um, we've assigned a couple of people that will actually go out into neighborhoods and knock on doors and find out what the situation is for that neighborhood or or that particular family, and um, you know, just offer some advice and yeah, some resources for the animal.
00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:01.359
Absolutely.
00:34:01.519 --> 00:34:01.759
Yeah.
00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:02.559
That'll be cool.
00:34:02.640 --> 00:34:04.559
So when when do you think that'll start?
00:34:04.799 --> 00:34:12.480
Um, it's it's gonna still be a couple of months and we don't really know all of what's gonna be involved, but I just think it's gonna really change, change some lives.
00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:20.079
Yeah, that'll that'll be super cool because I uh you're right though.
00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:24.960
I think people will just get the animal and not realize like it needs to have vaccination.
00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:25.599
So yeah.
00:34:26.159 --> 00:34:29.440
I mean, if there's a law for it, that probably needs to happen.
00:34:29.760 --> 00:34:40.559
Well, getting one from a shelter usually usually they walk out with an animal and they have some understanding of what medically the animal needs, and if they're already spayed or neutered, which is a huge, huge plus.
00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:43.599
But you're right, some people just don't understand.
00:34:44.559 --> 00:34:54.239
So in let's talk about um how because we still, you know, Facebook, we see a lot of stuff on there, a lot of strays, a lot of everything.
00:34:54.400 --> 00:34:55.599
You're not a shelter.
00:34:56.800 --> 00:34:57.119
No.
00:34:57.840 --> 00:34:59.360
Everyone's sticking to that.
00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:03.840
A lot of people think you're a shelter, you know, and it's you you can't just take strays.
00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:27.199
No, it's it's a bit of a conflict sometimes, but we do have um a lot of cats available for adoptions, adoption, but m most of those animals come like because they're alone on the street and need medical care and they're not gonna go to another shelter probably and receive what they need, or it's gonna be cost prohibitive because it's expensive to do.
00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:38.480
We're kind of set up well because we have a veterinarian, you know, on staff all the time, and um our staff are very intelligent about that kind of thing because we've learned, you know, over time what to do.
00:35:38.559 --> 00:35:44.480
You know, you know, if you get a uh a sickly kitten, we're gonna give it fluids, we're gonna take its temperature, you know.
00:35:44.719 --> 00:35:55.360
So most of the animals that we try uh to take, not as a shelter um and and find homes for, are animals that have been like found in the country, no owner.
00:35:55.519 --> 00:35:55.920
Yeah.
00:35:57.199 --> 00:35:57.920
Very cool.
00:35:58.159 --> 00:35:59.599
And there are plenty of those.
00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:02.400
How would they find one?
00:36:03.440 --> 00:36:05.199
Um I don't think there's any rule.
00:36:05.280 --> 00:36:09.039
It's just like or how would they how would they come out and adopt from you?
00:36:09.679 --> 00:36:16.800
How would they find a oh we we we have an application online and we have all of our animals posted on PetFinder?
00:36:17.039 --> 00:36:27.440
Um so you can go to petfinder.com and type in a zip code, 47374, and you can find the organizations and see pictures of the animals that are available for adoption.
00:36:27.519 --> 00:36:29.360
So that's probably the easiest way.
00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:38.639
But if you look at Animal Care Alliance's Facebook page, we also have lots of postings of the animals that we have and even um their medical situations.
00:36:38.719 --> 00:36:44.559
You know, this kitten came in and it's in horrible condition, and then you know, the staff will, you know, take care of it.
00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:47.760
And and over a period of time, this is what you got.
00:36:47.840 --> 00:36:53.440
You know, you got uh a healthy, it's been fixed, vaccinated, um kitten that's ready to go home.
00:36:53.760 --> 00:36:54.559
That's cool.
00:36:55.280 --> 00:37:03.760
I've been out there um a couple times and I've walked through the cat do you call it a cat catery or anything, or you just call it cat rooms?
00:37:03.840 --> 00:37:04.960
Yeah, yeah, cat rooms, yeah.
00:37:05.199 --> 00:37:06.000
Cat rooms.
00:37:06.239 --> 00:37:15.039
Um I have seen somewhere they did like restaurants where like there's like a cat, cats like hang out.
00:37:15.199 --> 00:37:17.039
Not not like in the kitchen, obviously.
00:37:17.199 --> 00:37:27.199
Um those are Chinese restaurants, but um but that's why the snake bit you because I I washed my hands a little bit ago, so I shouldn't smell like anything.
00:37:27.440 --> 00:37:32.719
Um but it was like I think they call that like a catery or something.
00:37:32.960 --> 00:37:33.199
Yeah.
00:37:33.440 --> 00:37:34.800
Or it's like a coffee shop.
00:37:35.039 --> 00:37:35.360
There's cat.
00:37:36.079 --> 00:37:36.639
Cat cafe.
00:37:36.800 --> 00:37:37.280
Cat cafe.
00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:38.320
Cat cafe, yeah.
00:37:38.559 --> 00:37:40.639
I feel like there's one in Indy or something.
00:37:40.960 --> 00:37:41.599
There is.
00:37:41.760 --> 00:37:52.559
There's one um in Cincinnati, there's one in Georgetown, Kentucky, because we have had some affiliations with the one in Cincinnati, I think, and a few of our cats have gotten to go down there.
00:37:52.960 --> 00:37:55.119
Um there's one.
00:37:57.039 --> 00:37:58.880
There's one in the Dayton area, too.
00:37:59.199 --> 00:38:01.679
Oh I'm trying to think of what the name of it is.
00:38:02.320 --> 00:38:04.400
It's a cool name, and it escapes me.
00:38:04.559 --> 00:38:06.719
But yeah, those are very popular now.
00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:09.119
I feel like you could have one.
00:38:09.519 --> 00:38:09.920
I know.
00:38:10.719 --> 00:38:14.880
Just get your espresso and sit in there and put a coffee pot out front.
00:38:19.599 --> 00:38:21.840
Kevin, why are you sitting in the lobby with coffee?
00:38:21.920 --> 00:38:28.159
Yeah, just cat cafe and turtle, anything you want it to be, and snake, and a mad snake.
00:38:28.400 --> 00:38:29.599
Variety's a spice of life.
00:38:29.760 --> 00:38:30.480
Yeah, it is.
00:38:30.639 --> 00:38:32.559
It is, and you just gotta have fun with it.
00:38:32.719 --> 00:38:33.039
Yeah.
00:38:33.280 --> 00:38:37.760
Um, no, I'm really excited to see how your event goes.
00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:41.280
Um and the paintings.
00:38:41.519 --> 00:38:43.760
What the paintings, do you remember what they went for last year?
00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:44.480
I do.
00:38:44.559 --> 00:38:47.760
Um, because Nigel the turkey vulture is like my kid.
00:38:47.840 --> 00:38:48.880
I just love this bird.
00:38:48.960 --> 00:38:50.400
I've had him since he was so little.
00:38:50.559 --> 00:38:55.840
His went for$1,600, and then the Opal, the Bard Owls, went for$1,500.
00:38:56.159 --> 00:38:57.440
So a total of$3,100.
00:38:57.760 --> 00:38:58.320
It was great.
00:38:58.400 --> 00:39:01.039
I was surprised, but pleasantly surprised.
00:39:01.199 --> 00:39:01.519
It was there.
00:39:02.079 --> 00:39:02.480
Yeah.
00:39:02.719 --> 00:39:06.159
And I think Brev's painting will be that'll be cool.
00:39:06.480 --> 00:39:06.880
Really neat.
00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:07.360
Yeah.
00:39:08.079 --> 00:39:08.480
Yeah.
00:39:09.519 --> 00:39:12.719
The snake's painting, it's just gonna be all red from blood.
00:39:13.760 --> 00:39:15.360
It's tried to use it.
00:39:15.440 --> 00:39:17.199
It's like this is Kevin's blood over here.
00:39:17.360 --> 00:39:18.960
This is Kevin's blood over here.
00:39:19.199 --> 00:39:20.639
Put a little blood over here.
00:39:21.599 --> 00:39:25.119
Um, no, I watched a video of her making that painting.
00:39:25.199 --> 00:39:26.559
That was really cool.
00:39:26.960 --> 00:39:31.760
Uh did how did you just wash it wash the snake off when it was done?
00:39:32.239 --> 00:39:32.639
Yeah.
00:39:32.880 --> 00:39:35.440
We were advised um to use tempera paint.
00:39:35.519 --> 00:39:35.679
Uh-huh.
00:39:35.840 --> 00:39:36.800
That was the safest stuff.
00:39:37.039 --> 00:39:38.719
That's now she that's why she has a temper.
00:39:38.960 --> 00:39:39.440
Temper paint.
00:39:39.679 --> 00:39:40.800
Maybe maybe so.
00:39:41.599 --> 00:39:42.400
She's asleep, I bet.
00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:43.599
Now she's twitching.
00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:44.880
I don't know why she's twitching.
00:39:45.039 --> 00:39:48.719
She but you're about to get bit because she was twitching right before she bit me.
00:39:49.360 --> 00:39:50.960
She's about to give you a side.
00:39:51.679 --> 00:39:52.000
Oh.
00:39:53.119 --> 00:39:53.760
Maybe.
00:39:54.719 --> 00:39:57.440
We need to pry her mouth open and look at those little fangs.
00:39:57.840 --> 00:39:58.159
I know.
00:39:58.480 --> 00:39:59.119
See what she's got.
00:39:59.199 --> 00:39:59.599
I don't know.
00:40:01.519 --> 00:40:01.840
Yeah.
00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:02.719
It's not bad.
00:40:02.880 --> 00:40:04.960
It was it's yeah, it's not bad.
00:40:05.280 --> 00:40:06.559
But she did draw blood.
00:40:07.440 --> 00:40:08.800
She did draw blood.
00:40:12.960 --> 00:40:16.320
But it just barely I think it was just like a blur skin.
00:40:16.400 --> 00:40:17.599
I don't think she has like fangs.
00:40:17.679 --> 00:40:20.000
I think she has like just itty bitty little teeth.
00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:23.599
It's amazing how wide she can get her mouth open.
00:40:24.159 --> 00:40:25.039
Well, you're telling me.
00:40:25.360 --> 00:40:26.079
Did she bite you?
00:40:26.400 --> 00:40:26.480
No.
00:40:26.800 --> 00:40:27.519
You just made a face.
00:40:28.159 --> 00:40:29.119
I know, she's twitching.
00:40:29.280 --> 00:40:32.559
Um, like large frozen mice can feed live.
00:40:32.639 --> 00:40:33.760
We I couldn't do that.
00:40:34.000 --> 00:40:40.320
But they're they're pretty big, and she can open her mouth, and it's kind of amazing to watch them eat.
00:40:41.280 --> 00:40:42.320
Yeah, it is.
00:40:42.559 --> 00:40:45.840
I got a first hand experience watching her eat.
00:40:46.159 --> 00:40:46.800
Yeah.
00:40:49.039 --> 00:40:52.480
Well, is there um anything else you want to talk about?
00:40:53.760 --> 00:40:54.320
A lot going on.
00:40:54.960 --> 00:40:56.559
Yeah, we do have a lot going on.
00:40:57.280 --> 00:40:58.639
So uh it's good stuff.
00:40:58.880 --> 00:41:00.800
That what was the dating for this?
00:41:01.039 --> 00:41:02.320
Um April 17th.
00:41:02.400 --> 00:41:05.840
It's a Friday night at Forest Hills Country Club.
00:41:06.159 --> 00:41:10.559
And um, there's a link on our Facebook page, Animal Care Alliance Facebook page.
00:41:11.039 --> 00:41:13.360
That'll be Orderbs, Live Auction.
00:41:14.079 --> 00:41:16.800
Live auction, and you can get a virtual ticket too.
00:41:16.960 --> 00:41:21.119
So a lot of those things are um you can bid on even if you're not there.
00:41:21.440 --> 00:41:21.599
Okay.
00:41:23.039 --> 00:41:23.280
Yeah.
00:41:23.599 --> 00:41:27.599
So online auction, hybrid with in-person type stuff.
00:41:28.320 --> 00:41:29.840
That'll be really cool.
00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:32.239
That opens the doors up a little more.
00:41:32.480 --> 00:41:33.440
Yeah, absolutely.
00:41:33.760 --> 00:41:36.960
I mean everybody doesn't want to go out on a Friday night, but they want to participate and stuff like that.
00:41:37.039 --> 00:41:37.199
Yeah.
00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:39.519
Well, and they might not even live around here.
00:41:39.760 --> 00:41:40.079
Right.
00:41:40.320 --> 00:41:40.719
You know?
00:41:40.880 --> 00:41:45.039
So but they want to help out or they want a nice painting.
00:41:45.280 --> 00:41:45.679
Yeah.
00:41:46.079 --> 00:41:48.159
Animal paintings are cool.
00:41:48.559 --> 00:41:51.039
Um I'll have to come out there.
00:41:51.679 --> 00:41:54.559
Have to come out to the farm see Ozzy.
00:41:54.880 --> 00:41:56.400
Yeah, you're welcome anytime.
00:41:57.039 --> 00:41:57.920
We've got a lot of people.
00:41:58.159 --> 00:42:02.800
I would expect her to bite me eventually versus she's really not a biter.
00:42:03.119 --> 00:42:13.360
And she I think she's so chill because we've had her so many years that she just, I mean, what would be natural for her is when you've got her on your glove, for her to just squeeze.
00:42:13.679 --> 00:42:14.960
And she doesn't even do that.
00:42:15.199 --> 00:42:15.440
No.
00:42:15.840 --> 00:42:16.159
No.
00:42:16.800 --> 00:42:17.840
That's crazy.
00:42:18.400 --> 00:42:19.280
Craziness.
00:42:19.760 --> 00:42:20.000
Yeah.
00:42:20.239 --> 00:42:21.119
I like my animals.
00:42:21.440 --> 00:42:24.000
We have a bald eagle right now named Quincy.
00:42:24.239 --> 00:42:25.199
He's pretty cool.
00:42:25.519 --> 00:42:29.840
I can't take people out to show them because he's a releaseable bird.
00:42:29.920 --> 00:42:31.280
So he's a what?
00:42:31.679 --> 00:42:32.239
Releasable.
00:42:32.400 --> 00:42:37.039
Oh he's gonna go back out and be a wild bird, so we don't want to like get him used to beat.
00:42:38.960 --> 00:42:40.400
So how'd you get him?
00:42:40.800 --> 00:42:45.119
We got him because he was um on the ground in Henry County and couldn't fly.
00:42:45.199 --> 00:42:47.840
We think he probably had a fight with another eagle.
00:42:48.400 --> 00:42:54.079
And so we just have kind of nursed him back to health, and pretty soon I think we're gonna be able to take him out and let him go.
00:42:54.800 --> 00:42:55.679
That'll be cool.
00:42:55.840 --> 00:43:04.880
So people talk about um how cool bald eagles are and stuff, but I just put a butt in there.
00:43:05.519 --> 00:43:09.519
I like the red tail hawk better.
00:43:09.840 --> 00:43:12.719
Because, and I just say that because when I know when Dr.
00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:19.119
Matt was up here um with Ozzie the first time, she was talking about that's the voiceover for the eagle.
00:43:19.360 --> 00:43:20.079
Exactly.
00:43:20.400 --> 00:43:21.760
So such a good sound.
00:43:23.920 --> 00:43:26.400
It doesn't sound all big and bad.
00:43:27.599 --> 00:43:28.400
It's kind of a hunger.
00:43:28.960 --> 00:43:29.519
Yeah, yeah.
00:43:29.599 --> 00:43:30.639
It's a wee sound.
00:43:30.880 --> 00:43:35.119
Yeah, it's nothing, then it's nothing that says America Bald Eagle.
00:43:35.360 --> 00:43:35.840
I know.
00:43:36.159 --> 00:43:39.119
So I feel so bad for the Red Tail Hawks because they take a backseat.
00:43:39.280 --> 00:43:40.000
No, it's not fair, is it?
00:43:40.159 --> 00:43:46.800
They don't get credits on the when when they read credits on the movies, it should say bald eagle voiceover by Red Tail Hawk, Ozzy.
00:43:47.039 --> 00:43:47.840
It's only fair.
00:43:47.920 --> 00:43:48.400
Yep.
00:43:48.719 --> 00:43:50.320
Have you seen Ozzy call?
00:43:50.480 --> 00:43:52.559
Have you seen her scream?
00:43:52.880 --> 00:43:54.159
It's it's amazing.
00:43:54.480 --> 00:43:56.800
The one next, what do you still have that one?
00:43:57.199 --> 00:43:58.159
No, right next to it.
00:43:58.960 --> 00:43:59.599
That's up.
00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:00.800
She bet you?
00:44:00.960 --> 00:44:01.599
Yes.
00:44:02.960 --> 00:44:04.159
That's a falconry bird.
00:44:04.320 --> 00:44:05.119
You better get her out.
00:44:05.280 --> 00:44:06.079
Yeah, I got her.
00:44:06.159 --> 00:44:07.440
Um got her head.
00:44:08.159 --> 00:44:09.039
A falconer.
00:44:12.400 --> 00:44:15.760
Nobody's gonna want to come to Whiskers, Whiskey, and Wine and put on her face.
00:44:16.079 --> 00:44:16.400
You're right.
00:44:16.480 --> 00:44:18.719
The snake won't be there, but the painting will.
00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:22.079
Um, what was I saying?
00:44:23.039 --> 00:44:26.159
Um, the bird.
00:44:26.480 --> 00:44:27.440
Chicken nugget.
00:44:27.599 --> 00:44:28.239
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:44:28.480 --> 00:44:30.320
Chicken Nugget is the other red-tailed hawk.
00:44:30.480 --> 00:44:34.559
And she came to us three years ago on on the ground, Franklin County.
00:44:34.800 --> 00:44:36.960
Um, her parents were never around.
00:44:37.039 --> 00:44:40.239
We couldn't ever find out where she came from, but there'd been a lot of wind.
00:44:40.480 --> 00:44:43.760
So we think she, you know, blew away from a nest at some point in time.
00:44:44.079 --> 00:44:53.039
But one of a falconer that works very well with us, she's an Earlum student, and she's wonderful to have because when we have trouble with birds, she always has an answer.
00:44:53.119 --> 00:44:54.960
You know, she she's knowledgeable.
00:44:55.199 --> 00:45:01.280
And uh, so she added that bird to her falconry permit, and she hunts with the bird and yeah, chicken nugget.
00:45:01.679 --> 00:45:02.079
Very cool.
00:45:02.320 --> 00:45:07.519
Ozzie's not always happy that chicken nugget is down there because it's loud, like it's non-stop.
00:45:07.760 --> 00:45:09.760
Yeah, Ozzy can't get no rest.
00:45:10.000 --> 00:45:10.639
Poor Ozzy.
00:45:10.880 --> 00:45:11.679
I'm gonna bring her to my house.
00:45:11.920 --> 00:45:13.519
Ozzy's got a pretty cushy life.
00:45:13.679 --> 00:45:17.840
Yeah, every single day, 365 days a year or so.
00:45:18.639 --> 00:45:19.280
All right.
00:45:19.920 --> 00:45:24.559
Well, I think we'll wrap this up until we figure out what the snake's trying to do.
00:45:28.320 --> 00:45:29.519
Well, thanks for joining me.
00:45:29.920 --> 00:45:30.800
Thanks for having us.
00:45:31.039 --> 00:45:33.280
Absolutely fun, as always.
00:45:34.400 --> 00:45:36.719
