(02:38):

me sick? Draymond Green has beendoing NBA on TNT. He's been on
the inside the NBA last few days. He's awful. I hate that guy.
What do you think about Draymond Ah, there was a moment where like

(03:46):
his basketball and his antics that you'reabout it the same the crotch kicking.
Yeah, but it's kind of likethe antics keep ticking up, the basketball
going down, going down. He'sbeing he's racy, owing his own game
right now, he's being ratio andthey're putting him on TV to talk about
what he thinks about people. Yeah, because that's a good idea, right,

(04:08):
you know he's gonna say something.Yeah, he's gonna say stupid stuff.
I hate that guy. Anyway,I was not here yesterday. I'm
under the impression Scott Vorhes was here. Yeah, I'm indebted to him because
on Tuesday night there was an emergencyand we'll get to politics, we'll get
to news, we'll talk about stuffand a bit. But I'm here today

(04:29):
and this is what I want totalk about to start the show. I
uh, I was watching Caitlyn Clark'sWNBA debut. We were just sitting to
hanging around and we noticed that Pyro, who had been battling a urinary tract
infection, he'd been acting strange fora little over a month. And you
know, he's a five year oldgreyhound. You don't expect there to be

(04:51):
a lot of health issues. Hewas a touchover weight. It looked like
luly. He hit a little bellyon him, which was strange. But
he's he's the lead likely to exerciseof my three. The other two do
sprints in the yard by themselves.He doesn't get his steps in all the
time. So I was like,yeah, he's a little hefty, let's
walk him around, let's get himgoing a little bit. He started acting

(05:14):
a little weird and we took himto the vet. They diagnosed him with
the urinary tract infection. They puthim on a maxicillin for the infection,
and they put him on pain medicationso he didn't feel pain. Within a
day, he had perked back up. He started seeming like his old self,
and we were like, ah,great, we're working We're working him
back into We solved the problem right, five year old greyhound, by the

(05:39):
way, otherwise completely healthy as faras we knew. On Sunday night,
we gave him the last pill ofthe amoxicillin and of the pain medication,
and by Tuesday afternoon, we startednoticing him act a little strange again,
like a little bit more despondent,kind of depressing, Like you know,

(06:00):
you can kind of tell like he'sa stoic dog, but you could tell
that something wasn't up was up.And as I sat there watching that WNBA
game in the evening, my wifeand I were like, man, his
belly is looking awfully large right now. There's got to be something going on
there. The more we felt itand thought about it, the more we
were like, this isn't good.We need to call the emergency event at
like nine nine pm, so wecalled the emergency veat got into the emergency

(06:25):
vet. The emergency vet. Thefirst thing that they're going to do is
if you don't care about hearing aboutmy dog and what happened to him and
everything, I'm sorry. We're justgonna do this for now, and it's
therapeutic for me, So for anybodywho's out there is just like, you
know, concerned that I don't wantto talk about this. That's why I

(06:47):
wasn't here yesterday. But we goto the emergency BET. The first thing
they do is they do an Xray. They want to see if they
can see anything on an X ray. If they see something uspect, then
they use an ultrasound to try tokind of really pinpoint and kind of see
there, see what's going on underneaththe skin. And within about ten minutes

(07:09):
they came back and said, Okay, the vet says he's definitely internally bleeding
and it looks like it's a rupturedspleen. His spleen is Obviously, we
can live without a spleen, anddogs, for the most part, can
live without a spleen if it's noncancerous. But the real question was what

(07:36):
made the spleen rupture. Well,the answer to that question was there seemed
to be a tumor on the spleenthat that was what actually exploded. Not
necessarily the spleen itself, but thistumor on the spleen. Doctor said,

(07:59):
you know, for glance, it'sanything that looks like this on a spleen,
seventy five percent of the time isgoing to end up cancerous. That's
twenty five percent that it may notbe. The Only way that we're going
to know is if we perform apretty hardcore surgery. You know, it
costs a lot of money, Itputs him through a lot, and then

(08:20):
we can get kind of a biopsyon what this is and try to remove
as much of it as we canthat we see if it's still there.
But like she said, seventy fivepercent of the time, it's going to
be cancerous. I asked if wecould have some time to talk about this.
I called my dad, my wifecalled her mom, and just to

(08:41):
get like opinions, we talked aboutit. Important context here is we lost
a greyhound that was old to oldage, but he also had cancer.
But we waited probably two to threemonths too long. He ended up losing
like twenty pounds. It was abig mistake on our part. We selfishly
wanted to keep him with us aslong as possible. He was probably ready

(09:03):
to go for a couple of monthsbefore we actually did, and we regret
that he was probably in a lotof pain and a lot of discomfort throughout
those couple of months before we haddecided to let him go. We were
always going to think of the dogfirst, no matter what we told ourselves
that after that happened a few yearsago, so we talked about it.
This gave her the emergency vet moretime to look at what's going on in

(09:26):
there? She did another ulder soundand looked closer and closer she comes back.
I asked her point blank what shethinks, and she said, well,
while you guys are talking, Ilooked at it more and it looks
like he's got more spots in hisintextinal track. Usually, if I'm seeing
those, there's no way it's notcancer. So I'm really going to put

(09:50):
this poor dog who's already in alot of pain. He's got an internal
bleeding right now. He would needemergency surgery immediately to even like help him
survive that part of it. Thenthey'll remove his spleen. Then they have
to dig in and try to removeother cancer cells, assuming it's cancer,
and then still very likely if wecan recover him, he may have only

(10:11):
a couple of months to live beforeit's back. So we had to make
the incredibly difficult decision, you know, like at ten thirty LA on Tuesday
night, that we were just goingto let him go. We got to
be with him, we got tocomfort him. I'm sure he was in
a ton of pain. When theytalked about the ruptured spleen, Like,

(10:33):
could you just imagine that happening?To you that happened to him. He
had to feel it. Now.We didn't. He didn't have like outward
reactions of pain, but we noticedhe was acting differently and if it wasn't
for my wife really was the onethat said, Hey, I really think
we should call the emergency vet.This doesn't look right. There's a chance.
The vet said there was a chancethat maybe he wouldn't have made it
through the night, so that shethought that the spleen had probably ruptured sometime

(10:56):
during Tuesday afternoon. It's heartbreaking,and I know a lot of people out
there listening have lost a pet.I'm speaking to the choir in that regard,
and I understand that, and that'spart of the reason why I wanted
to talk about it, because ofthe support that it gives you when you
deal with something like this. Youknow, I am in a greyhound specific

(11:20):
grief support group that I had joinedwhen we lost our previous two greyhounds.
It really helped. It really helpedhearing other people's experiences, other people's stories,
having you know their thoughts. Youknow, you can feel for people
because we all are there. Wedon't care about where we're from, you
know, care about what people's backgroundsare, who they vote for, what

(11:43):
their favorite teams are. You justknow that they're hurting inside and that you
care about them, and you knowdeep down that that is a pain that
you wouldn't wish on anybody. Atthe same time, it's part of being
a pet owner. It's just partof what this is. So unfortunately we
lost Pyro. He was only five. He wasn't going to turn six until

(12:05):
October. It's really cruel to dealwith that. At the same time,
I know there was nothing that mywife and I could have done differently to
help him. There was no signsof exactly what was going on with him
before that happened, and we knowthat he's not in pain anymore. As
far as Palmer and p J Goo, they are at home. They Tuesday

(12:30):
night, they definitely could tell thatwe were really sad, and I think
they could tell that something had happened. But for the most part, they've
been really good, pretty normal.They're keeping each other healthy and happy and
keeping they get along really well.And the four of us are just going
to you know, move on withPyro's memory, you know, and that's
all you can do at this point. So if you want to call in.

(12:50):
I'm going to open this up tobe a forum for you to share
your stories, your thoughts. Youcan call us a four h two five
five eight eleven ten. Four htwo five five eight eleven ten, and
you know, whatever you want tosay about this matter, subject and any
experiences you might have, if youwant to share them, We're here for
you. Two twenty is the timeNews Radio eleven ten kfab Tuesday Night,

(13:11):
Late Tuesday night. I lost mydog Pyro, passed away suddenly at the
age of five, and we're takingcalls, thoughts, stories, if you
want to share them about this.I know it's a painful thing to talk
about, but for me, it'stherapeutic and if you would find therapy and
doing that in a lot of ways, I totally welcome this to be the
forum for that. We'll get tomore hard hitting news later in the show.
Let's start with Pat. Pat's onour line at four h two five

(13:33):
five eight eleven ten. Pat,Welcome to the show. What's on your
Mind? Hi, Emery A.I'm sorry, first of all for your
loss. I know we went througha similar situation a couple of months ago,
and we had a nine year oldWest hiland Terrior that we just loved
him to death, but we wereactually going out of town, so we

(13:56):
had him kunneled. We get acall while we're down in Chech In my
similar situation, it was like he's, you know, got internal issues and
either you got to have the emergencysurgery, which again no guarantee, yeah,
or we got to put him down. And that was the hardest thing
is that you have to make thatdecision, like in a half an hour,

(14:20):
and then not to be there,you know, no, Pat,
I couldn't imagine that. I'll behonest with you, that that would have
gutted me, knowing that I didn'teven see anything. It's good. I
have an interesting sidebar because I didlose another young greyhound about four years ago.
Her name was Emma. She wasshe had just turned seven years old,

(14:41):
and she was it was COVID right, so this was we couldn't actually
go inside the vet, but shewas there to do a nail trim.
And then the older guy that Italked about in the first segment, he
was there to get more blood workdone because we were trying everything we could
to see if we could treat hissymptoms and and what ended up happening while
they were She had gotten her nailstrim. She was standing there in the

(15:03):
back with the vets while he wasgetting blood tested, and she collapsed and
died immediately. They didn't know whathappened. They tried to revive her.
We weren't in the room. HThey gave us a call and ran out
and let us come in, andshe was gone by the time we got
in there. And they did anautopsy and found a giant blood clot in
her lung that nobody had seen orknew that was there, and it just

(15:26):
basically stopped her heart. That Iwas in the parking lot, and that
crushed me that I wasn't there inthat moment. I know she didn't suffer
any pain or anything, but Icouldn't imagine having to make a decision like
that from that from the parking lotor or forever way like you. Yeah,
well, I share your pain,brother, I appreciate it. Pat,

(15:48):
Thank you so much for calling in. Man. Let's go to Tom
Tom's on A four, four,two, five, five, eight eleven
ten. Tom thinks for the calltoday. What are you thinking about?
Yeah? I first say sorry foryour loss. I had to put my
doction down in September after seventeen years. It was the hardest thing I could

(16:10):
have done. It was. It'sstill not it's still fresh in my mind.
I mean it's drive into the vatKnowing I had to put him down
was really heart wrenching. That dogwas with me every day for most seventeen
years. He'd come to work withme, he'd ride wherever. Yeah,
it was a tough deal and Ican't I can't imagine him to go through

(16:33):
that again. So I know whatyou're going through, and it's a tough
deal. It's tough to get thoselast hours out of your mind what you
have to go through. And beforemy doction, I had a greathound,
so I know what those are like. Yeah, I mean they're pretty cool
dogs. But you know, you'llget through that and you always have the

(16:53):
good memories about the dog. Yeah, and Tom, this is the other
thing too. We're really lucky tohave to at home that I really held
and still young. They're going tohelp us through this and I'm thankful for
that. At the same time,seventeen years, man, that is a
long time. Like you're a youknow, I had my guy for less
than four years. And you knowit's crutching me seventeen years. That's a

(17:17):
whole chunk of your life, youknow what I mean? Yeah, it
is. And you know it's tothe point where you know, I'd love
to get another one, but it'skind of tough to get over the first
one. No, And this isI think tom My wife and I are
a little different on this. Iam like, Okay, I have a
hole in my heart that I needto fill and I can give a good

(17:37):
life to another dog, and wewanted to do that, and that's eventually
how we got Pyro and Palmer rightat it within a month after we lost
the other two. But I cantotally understand my wife is like that too.
It's just like I just kind ofwant to morn and remember this one,
you know what I mean, fora while. It's tough, man.
I couldn't imagine seventeen years. Ireally appreciate you calling in and giving

(17:59):
me that story today. Yoga fine, good luck to you. Thank you
so much, Tom, I reallyappreciate it means a lot to me.

(18:19):
as I grieved yesterday with my wifeand my other two greyhounds, the
loss of our boy Pyro, whodied at the age of five due to
a cancerous tumor on his spleen,which was tough. It's tough news,
and it's tough to know that hewas in that much pain. But you

their thoughts via email. Really appreciatethat you can call in though, if

(19:25):
you want to talk on the air. Four oh two five five eight eleven
ten. Four oh two five fiveeight eleven ten. Teresa is on the
line. Teresa, thank you forjoining us here today. What are you
thinking about, Hi, Emory,I'm really really sorry for your loss.
I know there are so many peoplethat can empathize with that, and so
can I. So this past winter, I have I've always had beagles.

(19:51):
I'm partial to them. Yeah,we have a German shepherd as well,
but my beagle was nine years old. My beagles have always lived to be
almost fifteen. I didn't have anyworries there. I had just lost my
mother and then my brother two weeksafter that, and later on my mother
in law. And in the middleof all that, my husband had to

(20:11):
tell me what he had been tryingto avoid, which was that my beagle,
Libby had cancer and there wasn't anyhope for her, and so it
was an extremely I mean, youknow, some people might go so in
the middle of all that human laws, why would you be, you know,
that torn up about this? ButI really felt like really even my

(20:37):
dog, I mean, there wasso much other stuff going on, and
then I lost my who was justmy little sweetheart. Loved her so much
and she didn't last much longer thanthat, and she was gone. So
it was an extremely rough and thenour German shepherd has been just in a
funk ever since then. Yeah.No, First, first of all,

(21:02):
Teresa, I mean, that isa horrendous run there, and I'm so
sorry that you had to go throughall that to anybody who might be questioning
the loss of human life in comparingthat, because a lot of people were
doing that with the whole Christinum dogshooting thing. A lot of people are
just like, you know, likeit's a dog. You don't know what
they did to the dog or whatever. Why don't you care about humans more

(21:23):
than that. It's just like youdon't get it, man, Like you
don't understand the connection that you makewith this being that loves you. No
matter what, every single day,no matter what you've gone through in that
day, that that that living life, that being, that soul is there
for you. And I mean that'swhy I said, like why when we
lost our first two within a month, I was ready to adopt more because

(21:45):
I knew I could give a goodlife to them. And they complete me,
you know, like I had ahole in my heart, you know
what I mean. So oh yeah, I know. Yeah, So I
mean that's crazy. Can I ask, though, Teresa, and I hate
to remember, have you remember allof the details, But did you find
out how the cancer was diagnosed?No, she had been she had a

(22:08):
little bit of a growth connor abdomenokay, and they tested the growth tell
that, and we she was havingsome potty issues okay, And so we
had taken her in and they thoughtat first it was just like a UTI
or something like that, and sothey were running tests and then in the
meantime, my husband found out thatshe actually had cancer. They did,

(22:32):
they ran some labs and he couldhardly tell me. I mean, it
was so hard for him to tellme this because he knew I was already
dealing with so much and it wasit just broke him in half to tell
me. I mean, I almostfelt more horrible for him at the time
that he Oh, for sure,No, I can't imagine for me.

(22:52):
But I never want to be thebearer of bad news in any situation,
especially something like that, especially whenyou're telling somebody you can about so much,
such terrible news. Teresa, Ireally appreciate you calling and sharing that.
I'm glad that we can share ourstories to each other and help us
feel better about the you know,obviously we're still gonna hurt, and but
we're gonna remember, and there's positiveswe can take from the lives that we

(23:15):
gave them, right right, Iagree. Thank you so much, Teresa.
I have a great day, allright, Thank you you too.

stories. Fifty years ago, myfolks lived in Arizona, We went out
to Los Angeles for a wedding andwe took PA two p I t ou

(29:23):
French, our French poodle, andthey were left in the backyard while during
the wedding, their dog as wellas PA two, and someone had internally
left the dog or the gate opened, and we came back and PA two
was gone. She wasn't there.My folks walked and you look search for

(29:45):
for a week or better. Ihad to jump on an airplane the following
day to come back here to Omahato a chen Creighton registration, that kind
of thing. So any event,cut to the chase. My sister and
a husband, we're on vacation inHawaii. They came back into setting things
up and be getting organized. Theywent to you know, say that her

(30:08):
apartment and two o'clock in the morningtwo weeks a week after they got back,
she hears us scratching at the doorand it WHI was for two She
had travels seven miles across the lastLos Angeles without with just making that trip
one time in a automobile from theapartment. Anyway, that's a true story.

(30:37):
Following up real quick, we hadnuts, dash sounds, and our
last down dass sounds. Lincoln hada habit of just getting up on the
couch with my wife and just sittingnext to her. She was not a
did not lay on her lap andjust sitting next to her, so her
sitting and he with me would alwaysjust simply play on the floor and rest

(30:59):
as one had on my foot,and he sleeped there for an hour.
I couldn't move my legs, watchthe TV. So any event, So
that there came to the point hewas fifteen years old, and we knew
that. We took him the vetand they said, well, you can
take him home or leave him here. Well, we wanted to take him
home, so be there as themayor real quickly. About seven eight o'clock

(31:21):
at night, he Lincoln looked upby my wife and she picked him up,
and for the first time he laidon her lap. He's never ever
done that, and he wanted down. He got restless. He put him
down. He came over and didhis rich with me and put his head

(31:41):
on on my foot, you know, like a pillow. And I said,
my wife is breathing, is subsiding, and he died right there.
Wow, well, cap I cantell you that, I mean we it's
always I wouldn't want to be presentas much as I can can for our
dogs and when that happens, becauseit is comforting to them. But I

(32:04):
mean, what a what a greatthing to have is a memory in that
moment to know that you both wereable to share that with him. Noah,
it's a wonderful memory. But youknow, I was blessed experience the
same thing with family members with withLincoln. Sure that was special because he
looked at up me from the fromyou know, yeah, gazing at me,

(32:27):
and as I looked at him inthe eyes, I said, well,
that's when his breathing subsided. They'reamazing animals. And I don't know,
Sure, Kip, I gotta go, I'm out of time. I
really appreciate the story. Roger,Dave, everybody else calling in. We'll
get to you more next on newsradio eleven ten kfa B. But right
now, if you missed the firsthour of the show, I lost my
dog Pyro. He suffered a rupturedspleen. It happened very suddenly. He

(32:52):
wasn't right for a while. I'mstarting to figure out a lot of the
stuff that was wrong for you know, the six weeks leading up to this.
His urinary tract infection certainly was becausehe was in pain and didn't want
to go to the bathroom because hisspleen probably had tumors growing on them or
growing on it, and other tumorshappening, and that's created the UTI.

(33:13):
It answers a lot of those questions. But yeah, we had to say
goodbye. We didn't find out untilobviously it ruptured and it was noticeable that
there was some bleeding going on.And it's tough, you know. And
Uh, I had yesterday off tokind of mourn and grieve, and then
I wanted to come back today andjust kind of start the show. And
we've had so many great calls already. Well, we're going to keep that

(33:36):
rolling. If you want to call, you want to share your story about
a beloved pet that you've lost,or anything related to that that's on your
mind, you can call in atfour oh two, five five eight eleven
ten. Four oh two, five, five, eight eleven ten and Roger's
on the line. Roger, thankyou so much for being on our show
today. What's on your mind?Hey, thanks, Roger. I'll just

(33:57):
let you know I'm drinking water witha little bit of limit in it.
I love. Okay, So,first of all, I have recently discovered
lemon water, like like actual puttingthe lemon, like a little lemon slice
in the water. It's a Idon't go that far. Okay, it's
life changing, though, Roger.You just get a little a little slice
of real lemon, squeeze a littlebit and drop it into your glass of
ice water. There's no going backto that. Like it's there's no going

(34:22):
back from lemon water. It's it'sthe greatest. Well, I just buy
the bottles concentrated lemon and add thatto it. Good enough, good enough,
tastes good. You never know wherethat lemon has been. Fair enough?
What's on your mind to you?Buddy? But uh well, you
know he wow. We had aGolden Retriever and he was great dog man.

(34:45):
He is probably like kid's best friend. And they got when my son
was like five, and he didn'tlive a real long. My son was
nine when he died. And uhhe but he you know, play hide
and seek with him. He wouldhave snowed. We'd go out take the
sled. We have a rope onthe sled. He'd pulled the slid up

(35:07):
the hill and then we'd go downthe sled and he would be run along
with us. You know. Wedo this several times and he's just a
great dog, you know. Anduh so when he eventually did die,
h m hm, we took himto the you know, we took him

(35:29):
to the vet and they put himto sleep because he would wound up having
he had bad hips, so hedidn't really walk that well anymore. Maybe
he's all running up and down thesad well that that, Robert, it's
interesting you mentioned that. So mobilityfor a dog is like everything, and
that was one thing with our oldergreyhound that we lost a few years ago

(35:50):
that we were always told was atthe very least. I know that you
guys have to make a tough choice. But if he starts to lose mobility,
like your choice is made for younow. You should not like have
him be completely immobile or or havea really hard time even walking, because
there's like there's almost no dignity inthat. You kind of just have to
help them along at that point.And it's a tough thing for us to

(36:13):
do because selflessly, Roger, wewant them to be with us as long
as possible. But like you likeyou guys did. Obviously there's a lot
of pain for a dog doing that, you know what I mean? Yep,
yeah, we when we be puttingdown and eventually they asked us,
well, what do you want todo with the remains? And they said,
well, I guess, you know, cremate him and we'll come back
and get him. Though. Wewent back got him and and they handed

(36:37):
my son a box. He said, well, Dad, I guess now
we have a boxer. So Ilove you know, I love to make
that lighthearted. Uh what'd you dowith the box? If you might?
Don't mind me asking? We stillhave him. We still have him in
the house. We don't know reallywhat to do with it, so we
yeah, we still have the box. So here's uh, here's my strange

(37:00):
confession. I lost two greyhounds withina month of each other in twenty twenty.
It was April first and like Maysecond or something I think was the
two dates they passed. And westill have those two boxes too. Yeah,
yeah, you really just I thoughtabout, you know, playing them
in the grass so down where you'dlike to run and play, but you

(37:22):
know, I don't. I justfeel better easier now I know, and
that was my thing too, islike I don't really want to scatter them't.
I don't really feel like. Imean, maybe I'll change my mind,
but I just kind of want tohold on to him and I still
still have them. And we'll getPyro back probably, they said probably next
week, but I'm probably going tohang onto that too, I mean,

(37:44):
for a long time until we figureit out. But it's hard to think
about, you know, It's justlike it is, what do we do
with our beloved pet? You knowthere are pet cemeteries out there, but
it's not the same. It doesn'thave the same kind of feel that like
a human Semit Harry Wood exactly.Yeah, it's it's tough, but Roger,
I appreciate you sharing with us todayand thank you so much for calling

(38:07):
in. Yep, looks still better. Thanks man, appreciate it. A
lot of emails coming in. Emoryat kfab dot com and if you want
to share your story and call in, four oh two five five eight eleven
ten. Four oh two five fiveeight eleven ten is the phone number.
I'm also okay, so I'm onsocial media. You can find me my

(38:27):
phone my uh, the Facebook isEmory Songer eleven tin kfa B. You
can find Emory Songer on x orInstagram or wherever you are. And basically
what I did with this with myother two greyhounds, and I really think
that it made sense. Uh Andevery time it pops back up in my
memories, it does remind me ofthe pain that that that that involved that.

(38:52):
But at the same time, II get to remember the good times.
I get to remember all of ourgreat memories. And so it's thirty
days with the dog, you know. So I did thirty days of Emma,
thirty days of Jagger, and nowI'm going to start doing thirty days
of Pyro just to celebrate his lifeon my social media. So I'd love

(39:15):
you to follow me as we dothat. JB is on the line.
JB, thank you for calling intoday. What are you thinking about?
Hey, Amory pet they definitely arepart of your family. What we have
chosen to do. The last coupleof times, we had a cat.
I hate a cat, soil Igot with my wife and we had a

(39:35):
cat that didn't know it was acat, I guess, but the coolest
cat ever. I ended up gettingkilled by a We think it was a
coyote. Maybe we live in Lincolnby Homes Lake, but we actually planted
it underneath of a magnolia bush.And then we just recently lost a Sean
Freese and we're going to plant itunder a weeping willow tree in her yard.

(39:57):
But that way, every time youlook out the I know you see
the bush, it reminds you ofthem. That is such a good idea.
That is such a smart idea.I love that. JB. Well,
thank you for sharing that with me, because, like I said,
I I'm conflicted on what to doat all with this uh with with these
boxes. But I appreciate you sharingthat. That's an excellent idea. And
thank you so much for calling us. A great day. Yep, you

prior to their death. They wereactually their dog was actually buried with them.
Oh wow, that's what And that'swhat my wife and I plan on
doing with ours. We just we'rejust gonna save because whoever goes first.
Like my mother and father in law, what they do is my father in
law passed the way, he saton the desk at the bottom of the

(41:05):
stairs until my mother in law passed, and then they were putting both cremated,
putting a vault together along with theirdog. And that's what we've decided
to do with ours, is they'rejust going to get buried with us.
I just got to buy a bigenough vault to fit fit y'all in.
Well, And that's the thing,Marty, is you know, obviously it's
a it's quite a long time aninvestment. But at the same time,

(41:27):
you know, I don't hate thatidea either. They're a huge part of
your life, right like there justyeah, I mean, yeah, we've
got we've got two right now sittingand I've got four more at home right
now and now I'll go with ustoo, so all but these four are
last ones. Well, Marty,I really appreciate you giving me that.

and get on with your life.You know, it's a tough day when

(42:52):
something like that happens, and Ihope you and your family are doing well.
Doug. I really appreciate that itdoes help that I have the two
other greyhounds kind of helping us getthrough this. For sure. You know,
obviously we're gonna miss Pyro and allof his little quirks and everything about
him that you know, made himhim. We're definitely gonna miss him,

(43:13):
but we still got two loving,beautiful greyhounds that need our love now as
well because things are different for them. So we're definitely getting there, Doug.
A lot of tears on Tuesday night, some tears on Wednesday, and
we're gonna keep going stronger and rememberinghim every day along the way. But
I really appreciate the kind words.Man, thanks for calling us today.
Yeah, no, I really appreciateit. Anybody who's taking time just to

(43:35):
call me or email me to thankme, or to wish me and my
wife and our other dogs well afterthis loss. You have no idea how
much we really appreciate that. Itreally does go a long way to help
us. Glenn's on our phone lineat four oh two, five five,
eight eleven ten. Hello Glenn,welcome to the show. Hey, every
sorry for your lost your family.I understand what it's like to lose your

(43:57):
best friends. I had a greatbet and when I lost a boxer that's
been in the family for twelve years, almost fifteen years. Actually he was
born with a toe missing, andthe bet actually made it a suggestion that

(44:20):
they would make a cast of asPaul with the missing toe. And so
we took that cast and we putit in a shadow box with a bunch
of pictures of a bunch of stuffthat we've done together as a family,
with the dog involved, and thenwe scare the ashes on the bottom and
kind of make it look like afishing them and that that's how we celebrated.
Wow, that little bro. That'sa sweet idea too, Glenn.

(44:45):
Yeah, honestly, I that's anotherjust a huge question for me, is
you know, just like what todo with the ashes afterwards and try to
memorialize their life in the best waypossible. And it's just so hard to
encapsulate. But I really appreciate theidea. Glenn, that's such a good
idea. I appreciate you calling in. God bless you brother. Yeah you
too. Mike's on our phone lineat four O two five five eight eleven

(45:07):
ten. Hello Mike, Hey,Hello, sorry for your loss. Thanks
Mike. Uh. Yeah, we'vehad some animals. Uh. My wife
had a Chihuahua. That's all weever had was a small dogs and cats.
Anyway, we had an all black, long haired chuaa and we named

(45:29):
it Elvis because my wife is arabbit, Elvis saying. And one day
we came home. He was allright in the morning. We came home
at night and he was laying inthe kitchen floor just his eyes were open
and breathing, but he couldn't moveor anything. We took him to the
vet. The vet told me thathe had mad cow disease. Wow,

(45:51):
and I couldn't. I guess Ididn't know that animals, other animals could
get that. But yeah, anyway, we had to put him down.
And you know, then we've hadanother twillow had put down, and I
think three cats and another dog.Anyway, else small dogs and cats.
But along one end of our property, our yard, we have some bushes

(46:15):
planet and we took each one ofthem home, and the vet puts him
in a special bag if you takethem home. And so we decided that
in front of each bush, wewould dig a hole and we'd put a
bed in there and the lady animalin there, and then put a bunch

(46:37):
of toys around it and then buryit that way. So along our property.
I don't know if I got anymore bushes to plant, right,
but I've got a cat and adog now that are getting old. That
one cat we had was twenty threeman. Wow, yeah, that was
long anyway. So that's what wedid with them. Well that that's also

(47:00):
an awesome idea we did save.Like Pyro wasn't a big toy guy.
His favorite toys were squeaky tennis balls. But my girl that died a few
years ago, she loved all sortsof toys, like fluffy toys. And
we capped a couple of the onesthat we had just bought her, and
those are with her box right now, just kind of sitting in our basement

(47:22):
in a spot. That's a goodidea. I wanted to do something with
the toys because you know, we'regonna remember her so playfully. But It's
been four years now since she passed, and I still am not sure what
to do with her. But that'sa good idea, Mike bury him with
the life of the bush and withthe toys in the bed. I love
the idea. I really appreciate youcalling in, man, all right,

(47:43):
thank you very much. Yeah,I have a good day. Four h
two five five, eight eleven tenis the phone number. We really appreciate
you for being a part of thisdiscussion with us today. Is that Fay
Fay is on the line. Let'sgo to Faye Fay. Appreciate you for
calling in. What's on your mind? Well, I know thereed something curious
about my after my dog died abouttwenty years ago, and I've had and

(48:04):
we'll start my whole life. Lovedhim all, you know, but this
is my special dog, butch andI noticed that for a long time after
he died. When somebody would say, oh, do you have an animal?
You know how many pets you haveor whatever, I would find myself
saying, well, I have adog, but he's dead. I've got
a cat and a dog. Butmy dog died. For like a long
time after he died, probably tenyears maybe, and I just found that
curious that I wouldn't just you know, I don't say yeah, and my

(48:27):
other ten dogs died too, youknow, I thought that was strange.
Yeah, well, I will saythis. They I had dogs and some
cats growing up with my mom anddad and the ones that I mean,
it was interesting. We had aGerman shepherd that had he put down because
he'd been a kid when I wasa small kid. I have no memories

(48:50):
of him. I just know thestory. Been a neighbor kid that came
by and they eventually had to puthim down. Then we had tried to
adopt a really rambu aunctious Golden Retrieveror no, she was a lab.
It was golden lab and she wascrazy puppy. And after about a few
months of that, my parents rehomedher to like a farmer and she became
an awesome farm dog. Then Igot a we got a shelter dog that

(49:15):
lasted like a year or two becausehe had some congestive heart failure something genetic
with him. But again, I'mstill super young when all this is going
on. I have very little memoriesof a lot of these dogs. But
then we got two Jack Russell Terriers, and they lasted me until I was
well into my twenties, like theywere still healthy and doing things with my
parents at their home. So Idon't have a ton of experience with this

(49:37):
kind of feeling until I started toadopt greyhounds in my mid twenties. And
I could tell you this, youknow, it's everybody kind of has there
a different way of viewing their petand like the pets role in their life.
But for us, there are everything. We don't have kids. We
you know, they they're like ourbest friends. They kind of seem like
our kids in some way, becauseyou know, we're responsible for their lives.

(50:00):
But at the same time, it'sjust like when we lost our first
two, it just left a hugehole in my heart, Like I just
wanted to hug more dogs, youknow what I mean. Yeah, it's
just and this is why I wantto talk about it, because everybody kind
of has their own perspective on allthis. You know, what life is,
what loss is, how to recoverfrom loss? And I really appreciate

(50:21):
you sharing your story with us today. Oh you bet, I enjoyed your
show. Thank you so much.FAE really appreciate that more calls are coming
in We'll get to them as wecontinue our show today. Four oh two
five five eight eleven ten four htwo five five eight eleven ten. Really
appreciate y'all for being a part ofthis as I kind of use this show
as therapy for me and the lossof our beautiful dog, Pyro, who

(50:45):
passed away the other night due toa ruptured cancerous tumor on his spleen and
it's really sad. Really appreciate everybodyfor taking part in the show. We'll
keep it going next. You cancall us a four roh two five five
eight to eleven ten. You're listeningto news ready eleven ten kfab boy Pyro
who passed away on Tuesday night.I'm just posting now to my social media

(51:07):
my first of what will be thirtydays of Pyro, and this one that
I'm putting up today is the firstnight that I met him, So I
still have a lot of photos andvideos from, you know, throughout the
nearly four years that we had him, and I'm just going to kind of
share different things that I'll remember himfor over the next thirty days. Would
love you to come on the journeywith us. Just follow me on social

(51:30):
media and Marie Songer anywhere on Facebook, X, Instagram whatever. We're taking
phone calls as well at four Otwo five five, eight eleven ten and
Bill's on the line. Hello,Bill, thank you for calling, and
thanks for being on hold with us. What's on your mind? Yes,
this is the first time called her. I'm over here, a wah who
I'm paying soybeans? And my experienceon dogs, we're on the farm,

(51:53):
and farm people need a big dogbecause we don't unlock nothing. Yeah,
on the farm and in the town, I say, a smaller dog.
But how you get over this?When you lose a dog? The first
thing, you look for a newdog the same day the dog died,
because the dog bounds to you rightaway, and you're gonna be thinking about

(52:16):
the new dog, not the wholedog all the time. Yes, from
my experience in the past, andit really helps. No, and Bill,
you know what, I am exactlythat way. When we lost our
two greyhounds in twenty twenty, Ihad two previous ones. They died within
a month of each other. Thatwas tough, but my first thought was

(52:37):
I the next day I was readyto get another dog because I knew that
was going to help me heal.My wife kind of feels a little differently.
She wanted to, you know,grieve for a while, but about
a month later we ended up gettingPyro and Palmer, the female I still
have, and they've been such greatmembers of our family. But I'm with
you, Bill. The way toheal my heart is exactly what you said.

(52:58):
Help make the life of another offsome dog and bond with them and
feel that love. And I knowPyro and Emma and Jagger, who I
lost earlier. I know that theyare looking down on us, and they
want us to share our love withother animals that really need a home.
I'm one hundred percent with you onthat. One more thing is always have

(53:20):
only one dog. Do not havetwo dogs. I'll tell you a reason
why. Because the dog will bombto the other dog or to you,
and you always have to go tocom good night every night. The dog
remembers all this, so he waitsfor you in the morning, and that's
how they bond you and the dog. If you got two dogs, they're
gonna start bombing you do each other. Then they start running to the neighbors

(53:44):
and everything else. Yeah, Iknow, I'm with you. I'm with
you, Bill. I know yourlife on the farm, and I appreciate
you for what you do on thefarm. I know your life's little different
than us. We've had nothing butsuccess with multiple dogs and sharing our love
with them. But I totally getthat feeling as well, because they really
to become like your companion and yoursteed, almost like we would have had
if we were in the horse days. You know, I appreciate the call

(54:06):
bills. Thank you so much forbeing a part of our show today.
Good program. Thank you, Mike. Yeah, have a great day.

I figured you were out with ajob on a job that would have
been correct that is correct. Yeah, yeah, so again condolences. My

(54:50):
only experience with greyhounds is I didrescue about ten years ago a half black
lab half greyhound from Humane Society.And this was the coolest dog ever,
man. This was half She hadthe body or she had the hair and
the brain of a black lab withthe body of a greyhound. And I

(55:12):
used to take her out to MemorialPark and let her off her leash and
I would try to raise her andI could hear this dog laughing at me
yea, and it was just sofunny, like just a really cool,
smart dog. Everybody wanted to teachher at a hunt. She'd be a
great hunting dog. But one dayshe escaped from the backyard and I never
found her again. So again,ten years. I'm sure she's long gone

(55:37):
by now, but I just prayand I hope every day that somebody found
her, decided to keep her andtook really good care of her. She
was just a really cool dog,really cool breed. But yeah, my
heart goes out to you guys,So I just wanted to share that.

especially knowing the dog had been theretheir entire life. I couldn't imagine
what that was like. Yeah,my son who's eleven, he he did
everything with her. She'd sit andhang out with her or with him.
I played video games like run Around. Uh yeah, it was hard and

(58:00):
that I never thought a dog wouldimpact the dog's death would impact be as
hard as it did. Yeah,because from my wife and I started dating,

I will say this, I amnot much of a crier. I'll cry
in like movie, like like amovie. If that like something really touches
me or something like that, certainthings overwhelmed with emotion. The three hardest

wrong with him. But at thesame time, like I, I knew
what I was about to be toldwasn't good. And I started to shake
when this happened. And then whenI was told that and we had to
make that decision, like the whenthe tears started to come. I mean,
