00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:33.520
Hello there, welcome back to the Team Wigged Podcast.
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:40.560
I'm your host, David Morgan, and this is part two of the shit show trilogy that was the last couple of months.
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:45.520
The last episode I talked about my son Joshua and his dislocated knee.
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:52.240
And um yes, we will bring part two of that one later on when we have more information.
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:54.079
Still not a great deal.
00:00:54.399 --> 00:01:03.280
But today we are going to talk about something else that happened in the past couple of months, and was a complete part of another shit show.
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:15.599
So Josh's knee happened on eight um April the 29th, and then um on uh May the twelfth, it was a Tuesday morning.
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:19.760
I remember I woke up about two o'clock in the morning, I don't know why.
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:34.640
And I've missed a bunch of calls and I missed them from Josh's mum Karen and her daughter Jordan, so my stepdaughter sort of I still get along with her, so I'm not about to say she's an awful person.
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:38.159
And I'm like, what the hell are people calling me for?
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:45.760
So I've listened to Jordan's voicemail and uh cane's in a bad way, and it doesn't look like we're gonna make it.
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:49.920
And that kind of really sucked, and I didn't get back to sleep.
00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:51.280
He passed away.
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:54.719
Well he passed away, he got put down, yeah.
00:01:54.959 --> 00:02:02.319
His body temperature went sky high, his heart rate went sky high, and it was just the best thing to do for him.
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:12.479
Um his seizures were getting worse, he'd have a seizure, then not wake up, and then have another seizure without waking up, and yeah, it just was not fair to him.
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:21.680
So I was up all night, and normally Josh and I would get up about 5 30, quarter six the next day, so I could take him back to his mum's place.
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:26.400
I was wondering how the hell do I broach this subject?
00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:27.840
So I decided, you know what?
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:41.919
I'm gonna wake Josh up at five o'clock, we're gonna sit there, we're gonna talk about this, we're gonna cry it out that way he doesn't go back to his mum's place where Kane was, and then get the bad news then.
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:55.199
So yeah, I woke him up, we had to cry, we had lots of hugs, we talked about the good times, and then I took Josh to his mum's place and I went to work because I figured you know what?
00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:01.199
It's just the best thing to distract myself because otherwise, yeah, just wouldn't have been good.
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:07.280
So, talking about Josh and talking about the kid with the dislocated knee.
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:08.719
Hello, sir.
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:09.439
Hello.
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:10.719
How you doing?
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:11.919
Good, how are you?
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:17.919
Now, I told you I was gonna do this podcast about our dog, and you said you did want to be a part of this.
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:18.560
Yeah.
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:20.560
So tell me.
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:22.639
What do you think about Kane?
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:24.560
He was amazing.
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:26.560
He really was.
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:37.439
I still remember when first of all, your mum and Jordan said, you know what, we should get a puppy, and I said, No, we should get a rescue dog.
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:40.719
So both of them had the day off.
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:45.840
I got sent a photo of Jordan holding a puppy, and at that point I knew I'd lost the fight.
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:53.680
I had no choice, and less than a week later we went and picked up the dog known as Kane, the glorious bastard.
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:59.120
Now, that was in 2012, you came along in 2013.
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:02.080
So you two grew up together.
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:02.560
Yeah.
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:11.520
I still have a photo of you as a baby in a bassinet, and Cain has dropped a tennis ball on the bassinet expecting you to throw the ball for him.
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:14.879
Even back then he wanted you to play with him.
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:19.600
That I still love that photo.
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:21.439
It's just so cute.
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:26.959
Him thinking that I can throw it when I was how old do you think I was?
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:29.680
Maybe nine, ten months old?
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:33.360
Yeah, how how did he think that I could throw that?
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:35.759
It was my little baby arms.
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:37.199
I don't know.
00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:47.199
I still remember bringing you back from the hospital bringing you home from the hospital, holding you in my arms, crouching down, and him coming along and sniffing at you like he wasn't sure what you were.
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:50.079
I didn't and he'd never seen a baby in his life.
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:54.240
And then you let out this cute little baby noise and he jumped back.
00:04:55.040 --> 00:05:00.160
Like, yeah, this thing makes noise and trust me, as it gets older, it's gonna make a lot more noise.
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:01.439
Sorry, Kane.
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:07.920
Oh, you wouldn't know about that since you had uh three younger sisters.
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:12.560
Yeah, but I'm used to that, but I'm not used to introducing a dog to a baby.
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:13.600
Yeah.
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:14.879
How did that go?
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:19.040
Yeah, well, Cain didn't eat you, so that was a mission success.
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:20.560
That was a win win.
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:21.279
Sorry?
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:22.160
That was a win.
00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:23.600
Yeah,

it was a win.
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:25.439
Since I didn't get eaten?
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:26.560
Mm-hmm.
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:27.519
Yeah.
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:29.920
So how old was Cain?
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:31.600
He was about fourteen.
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:33.759
Yeah, fourteen, that's what I thought.
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:36.720
Yeah, 2012 to 2026.
00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:41.519
So, what were your some of f some of your favourite memories with that dog?
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:45.519
Um the one that you told about with me and the bass net.
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:48.240
That wasn't a memory of yours, you wouldn't have remembered it.
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:50.879
No, but I just love that photo.
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:58.240
But I also remember this one time where you went off to work and I was lying in your bed.
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:02.000
Mine knew it was at Lilydale.
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:04.480
Why were you in my bed?
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:09.839
Because I was just chilling and Kane that decided to hop up.
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:16.319
He he was li he like I was lying on the side of the bed.
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:29.279
He was lying like right next to me, and he just decided to like roll onto me, and he almost like he was almost falling off the bed.
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:37.920
So I was trying to number one, make sure he didn't fall off the bed, and number two, I wanted him to be safe.
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:42.399
Yeah, look, he didn't believe in personal space.
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:46.240
He was a twenty-seven kilo lap dog.
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:56.319
He thought he was a chihuahua and could curl up onto your lap or roll onto you on the bed, or yeah he didn't really believe in a lot of personal space, did he?
00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:04.639
No, but he was crushing me and I got off the bed so he had more space to not fall off the bed.
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:10.720
And I was trying to make I was trying to push him back onto the bed so he didn't fall off.
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:21.360
See, I remember when you were a little one, like a couple of maybe two years old, and I used to take the both of you for walks around Lilidale Lake.
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:27.839
And I remember if anyone got close to the stroller, Cain would put himself between you and the other person.
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:30.160
And I always thought that was very cool.
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:31.360
He protected you.
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:35.360
Not that there was any danger, but yeah, he was very protective of you.
00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:37.680
He was just making sure that I was safe.
00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:38.399
Yeah.
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:43.040
Just like I was making sure that he was safe and not falling off the bed.
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:47.360
See, I remember the I actually he bit me twice.
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:56.639
One time he stole my lunch, and I chased him around the backyard, and he wouldn't give it back and he ate it, and big deal.
00:07:56.879 --> 00:08:05.680
So later on that afternoon, I made uh got his dinner, not his dog food, and I decided not to give it to him, and I ran around the backyard with it.
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:07.920
And he nipped me playfully.
00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:10.079
So I thought, you little bastard.
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:25.360
The other time he bit me, which was a nip, was uh I remember we were walking a little at our lake, you weren't there, and um it was a case of this other dog was off lead come rushing at him, and I'm like, I wouldn't do that.
00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:27.519
My dog is not gonna like this.
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:32.480
And this dog went for Cain, Cain went for this dog, and I grabbed Cain by the back of the harness.
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:36.960
Cain's head spun around, didn't know what was going on, and nipped me.
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:43.120
And as soon as you realised what he'd done, the eyes opened up real wide, the ears went back like, oh crap, sorry dad.
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:46.480
And it's like I understand why you did that, dog.
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:49.120
I don't blame you, so you're not in trouble.
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:51.279
And I learned a valuable lesson then.
00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:54.559
When you're separating dogs, don't grab them by the back.
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:59.440
Because if they don't know what's going on, they might think they're being attacked, then they will bite you.
00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:16.720
Maybe try and lock your legs around and I don't know, because this dog just the other dog just kept running around us and trying to get to Kane, so But a good thing was when he was starting to get a bit older, he uh he came into contact with like little puppies.
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:21.600
And uh the best thing was he didn't give a damn about them.
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:36.159
I know, he had to get retrained 'cause the dog trainer place that which the your mum took him to Yes, that didn't work out so well, so I retrained him and he hated the world, bike riders, other dogs and everything, so I had to retrain him.
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:39.279
Then he just got to the point where he just did not give a shit.
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:55.840
Yeah, like this There is one time where me and Dad were going to a pet stock to just get some treats for Cain and there was this little I don't know what type of dog, but it was like a puppy.
00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:01.759
He was try he was uh trying to get into Kane's face and wouldn't know what Kane did.
00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:03.679
Basically nothing.
00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:07.919
He just didn't give a shit, like eh, whatever little one.
00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:12.000
I've lived longer than you've been alive, so just piss off.
00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:14.159
I'll take in toads bigger than you.
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:25.120
I just gotta say, I love this one photo of Kane where he's like upside down and he's all and he was like smiling so goofy.
00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:27.440
Like that was so cute.
00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:32.159
I found some good photos to put on Facebook as a tribute to him and Instagram.
00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:34.000
Yeah, that one's on there.
00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:34.320
Yeah.
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:39.120
The one where he's climbing up the back of a chair looking over the desk that I was doing some work at.
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:42.320
Like, oh Dad, come on, hurry up and let's play.
00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:44.000
Okay, cool.
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:47.039
Yes, I miss that dog.
00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:48.559
Yeah, so do I.
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:51.360
Anything else you'd like to talk about before we end this?
00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:52.879
He was amazing.
00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:56.240
I would not have wished for any other dog.
00:10:57.039 --> 00:11:00.639
Look, I must say, I'd never had a c uh border collie.
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:04.159
Never in my life have I had a border collie.
00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:08.000
Your mum had border collis, and that's why they had them.
00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:09.519
I like border collis.
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:13.519
Smart dogs, bit too smart sometimes, little bastards.
00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:15.039
But yeah.
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:20.159
Honestly, the problem with them is that they're always energetic.
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:24.879
Well, that and the long fur and the how much fur was always around my house?
00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:26.639
I have no idea.
00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:36.320
And literally the day before that he had the seizures, he was running around chasing balls.
00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:37.440
I know.
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:38.399
Yeah, well.
00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:42.480
He had a good life and hey, he gave us 14 of the best years.
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:43.279
Yeah.
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:44.799
Alright, what do you reckon?
00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:45.840
Should we end it there?
00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:46.480
Yeah.
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:47.840
I thought so.
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:53.279
But uh now, leading on to my next podcast, the end of the trilogy.
00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:57.679
Ma uh Friday the 22nd of May, we got his ashes.
00:11:57.840 --> 00:11:59.519
So I have his ashes here.
00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:00.960
My boy is home.
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:02.720
I've got his lead.
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:10.879
Got a paw print, so I'm gonna make some sort of little display now that I think we're ready to display him.
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:17.919
So yeah, I may post a photo of that at one point, but yeah, we'll see how that goes.
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:23.039
And on that day also was the start of a two-day wrestling show.
00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:25.600
And that leads to my next podcast.
00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:30.240
So on that note, I will see you all very soon.
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:31.279
Goodbye.
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:32.639
See you later.
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:42.559
Well valiant friends, till we meet again, green.
