Episode 94 - Furry Farewells, Foodie Friendships, and the Follies of Family Life

When we lose a pet, it feels like a piece of our heart is torn away. This episode is a poignant tribute to my puppy Oreo, a beacon of resilience whose story has left paw prints on our souls. We explore the rollercoaster of emotions involved in pet caregiving and celebrate the unbreakable bond we share with our animal companions. The chapter devoted to Oreo's memory is more than just a recount of his challenges and triumphs – it's a testament to the love and dedication we pour into our pets' lives, even when faced with the heart-wrenching decisions about their health and well-being.

Life's little quirks can spark the most unexpected discussions. One minute you're chuckling over a bear-related mix-up from a previous episode, and the next, you're engaged in a profound conversation sparked by a motivational speaker's take on society's perception of time, love, and loss. We don't shy away from the personal here, delving into tales of lost pets, Valentine's Day snacking gone awry, and the tangled web of homeownership woes. These stories anchor the episode in relatable, everyday experiences that remind us to laugh, reflect, and maybe keep an extra bag of Peanut M&M's at arm's length.

But life isn't all somber reflections and ant infestations; there's also the lighter side of chaos, like the frenzy of last-minute gift-giving and stumbling upon unexpected lifesavers like Grubhub for flower deliveries. We take our foodie hearts on a journey through the highs and lows of local eateries and the eternal quest for an authentic Taco Tuesday experience. And as we wrap up with a special birthday shoutout and musings on the swift growth of kids, this episode becomes a bittersweet symphony, a celebration of life's adventures shared among friends. So, grab your breakfast burrito, and join us for an episode filled with humor, heartache, and the simple joys of living.

He was back over once had his back and hips broken. Yeah, and that's when me and Rick went to go get him.

Rick: 1:20

He was at Mangos house.

Mig: 1:23

He didn't have any money to take him to the vet or anything, so he was just gonna kill him.

Rick: 1:28

I'm gonna say 15 years ago, 20 years ago, I think so.

Lano: 1:31

He was like 14, 15 years.

Mig: 1:34

We were trying to do the math and I think he was at least 15, 16 years old.

Rick: 1:39

Yeah, no, because I was hanging out with you. I mean, like you know, every weekend and stuff, and when the man goes to the mall.

Lano: 1:44

That's when you were there inspecting his illegal restroom.

Rick: 1:47

Yeah, remember.

Mig: 1:50

But it was a lot. Yeah, I guess we were figuring because he got um, you guys added another 20 years, 15 years something. When, um yeah, was it you that had Suzy Blue, or Manuel or I did? You did yeah, so this dude got one of the well, the only one that survived, right? No, suzy Blue was at Luna, but yeah it was, they were in same thing.

Rick: 2:12

Lano: 2:27

It wasn't Kora. Kora didn't have puppies, she had like a stillborn right yeah. Choco, and yeah, she had two stillborn Choco and well, maybe it was Suzy Blue. It was Suzy Blue. I think it was Suzy Blue.

But I think Luna was the only one that survived.

Lano: 2:43

Yeah.

Mig: 2:44

Well, no.

Lano: 2:45

Luna and and Kobe Danny's dog, but I think Danny's dog, he gave it away.

Mig: 2:51

Oh, that's right.

Lano: 2:52

He gave it away.

Rick: 2:53

Well, you don't know what happened after that. No, after he gave it away, no, but I remember Beto's friend, what's his name? He took one and she passed, or he passed also the dog.

Lano: 3:04

No, johnny, yeah, johnny, no, he took.

Rick: 3:09

Yeah, took one because I remember we saw him all at the vet he took another one.

Lano: 3:13

It wasn't a Doverman.

Rick: 3:14

Yeah, he took a Doverman Because we're all like in line getting shots together, like in Helen.

Lano: 3:20

Park. Yeah, yeah, because I guess something was wrong with those, those dogs.

Mig: 3:29

Well anyways, tough little guy, tough little Oreo.

Lano: 3:32

Yeah, oreo was time. He just wasn't eating right and he had lost his eyesight, his hearing, so was he just like sleeping a lot or wasn't getting up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Mig: 3:45

He couldn't I mean at least before he could move around, he would be like bumping into things and he could figure his way around like that. But now he wasn't even able to get up and keep his balance anymore, man.

Lano: 3:57

Yeah, laura was doing a lot of work getting and then he had like an enlarged heart. It was like when you hold him you can hear his heart was like pumping, like boom, boom, boom, boom. So he was on heart, heart medication for a long time too, and Laura was doing a lot, you know, to feed him.

Rick: 4:13

No, she becomes like a caregiver, doing everything.

Lano: 4:15

Yeah, I mean my parents had a dog.

Rick: 4:17

It ended up had diabetes and my parents are giving them like insulin shots, like twice a day.

Mig: 4:27

Yeah, so rest in peace.

Lano: 4:28

But awesome little dog, he would no way he can get corrupted like a little dog does. Yeah, but then Laura, laura's gotten a lot better with dogs, with, like when she first had peppers, the pomegranate.

Mig: 4:40

Oh yeah.

Lano: 4:41

Like baby num and and having them real doing everything wrong real spoiled, yeah, and then like he was real vicious against everybody except him and her and her mom. But Laura's gotten really good with handling dogs. She does, she does really good.

Rick: 5:00

Now, when you brought her to LA or brought the dog Oreo, I remember you made a wheelchair for your memory.

Mig: 5:08

Yeah, we try to come up with some kind of contraption.

Lano: 5:10

It was making it out of these, these metal that I used to work. Yeah, she was just too heavy, you couldn't walk around. It was like you couldn't drag him. I was friction. I was telling, I was telling Vanessa that man I go, we spent so much because we cast, we casted his legs.

Mig: 5:27

Yeah, both of legs and we kept.

Lano: 5:28

How many times did we take him to get cast? It was all man, it was a lot right. What was it like?

Lano: 5:34

every two weeks or something like that, like we cast it or yeah, because he was just dragging his back, two legs Right and just dragging them, and then they wanted us to do the surgery to put like pins in his legs. Yeah, we're like, no, I was going with too much money. But then we're going every damn so often to get recast and we had to be taking them out to go to the restroom holding them up, you know, so you can go pee, go poop and all this stuff and we're like man, I go, let's just. After all, this money is spending and casting.

Rick: 6:06

We, we, we paid more than we went and we went along with the surgery. Oh, you did after, yeah, yeah.

Lano: 6:12

Right, let's do the surgery. Dude, I shit you, not man. After that surgery he healed fast, dude. The next day that dude was able to stand up on his own.

Mig: 6:21

Oh it's funny, because after that he always had like this funny little sideways run.

Lano: 6:25

Yeah.

Mig: 6:26

Like, but like the back of his back is crooked.

Lano: 6:29

The pins were supporting his, his broken bones.

Mig: 6:31

Yeah.

Lano: 6:32

And dude, he was able like to kind of walk, that we helped him up but he was able to stand on his own. I was like dude man that's. That's when, like one of the times where we just started like you know what, now we just go straight to the damn. You know surgery or whatever. You know, if a broken bone is something you know. But that we because all that money we would have saved with the damn casting.

Rick: 6:54

That we'll tell you made like, like you're close the design because when you see dog wheelchairs, like I mean, I see all the stuff now very similar.

Mig: 7:05

I'm like dude, we work, we're close.

Lano: 7:08

Yeah, that's exactly what we have figured, but that's the same kind of thing that I got for Lucy. We just didn't have the lightweight materials, something, but like I bought something for Lucy and but it was just hard for Lucy because you just it bumps, you know bumps into everything. Now I ended up buying like a strap, like a kind of like a sling with the handles where I can wrap around Lucy and that way I can, yeah, pull her up.

Mig: 7:38

I remember that. I remember that I would help her walk up the steps like that because her hips were gone, man.

Rick: 7:44

Oh, we kind of had a like a Chloe had like a hiking like backpack, like not a backpack but something like that, so we can help her up the hill, like when we're hiking.

Lano: 7:53

I would use that for Rocky too, because Rocky had, he had bad, bad hips and his leg, like his legs in the back. They were real fragile man. They would like pop so easy.

Rick: 8:05

Oh sure, I don't remember. Sorry, but Rocky passed away. Yeah, I don't remember that one.

Lano: 8:10

I remember Rocky the bulldog.

Mig: 8:12

The white one, popeye.

Rick: 8:15

The one that went in? Yeah, he had one.

Lano: 8:17

Yeah, yeah, man, he's the one, the first one that went from my house Before Lucy, yeah.

Rick: 8:24

Now, when you did the wheelchair, was Oreo young yeah he was a puppy.

Lano: 8:30

He was an even a year. He was an even a year. I don't know.

Rick: 8:33

I thought he was like already, like full-length dog.

Lano: 8:35

He was supposed to be an indoor dog, indoor puppy for them, and he had gotten out, or they let him out and and my sister-in-law ran him over and. Sandra, yeah well, I wasn't her fault.

Mig: 8:49

I mean, he's supposed to be inside the kitchen been watching the dog and I let him out, so you know.

Lano: 8:57

And he gets to go out over was right by the wheels and menu I just got him. It was like I don't know, yeah, what damn Months, four or five months, yeah, all he was. Yeah, man, but yeah that, that dude man. I love that little dog man. Yeah, he was the best.

Mig: 9:17

It was cool.

Rick: 9:18

So lot of has no dogs right now. So is only Zoe, only like. Zoe and Mac Mac Mac that damn dog max in the back with you and Zoe's in the front?

Lano: 9:29

I would know right now. When I stopped by I he was in the front. Yeah, in the bed, I'll tell you what what's?

Mig: 9:34

what's really odd is that the whole time that Oreo was there, zoe didn't want nothing to do with Mac. Yeah and she would always like snapping him an everything when he go running inside the house. He just brings high energy. But um, the thing, the thing, what I think is that she was doing that because she was trying to protect Oreo.

Lano: 9:55

Yeah, oh, she knew.

Mig: 9:56

Oreo was delicate, oh, oh, because now I thought it'd be like a relationship. No, no, no. Now you know, the very the very next morning after we took order to get put down, the very next morning, and Since I got him back, zoe has wanted nothing to do with beating the backyard or or being in my room, uh-huh, and the very next morning she was at the door, or when it come in, like crying, wanting to go in. Yeah, you know. So I let her in and her and Mac started like just playing around.

Lano: 10:33

Yeah, zoe, it seems like Zoe, I was like no companionship, yeah, so now she's like really attached to them. That's the reason why she ended up in my mom's house, because, you know, I had Rocky, lucy and Zoe and need attention and and Lucy, she, she, um. She took care of a lot of puppies.

Lano: 10:52

She brought up a lot of puppies like puppies that we had in the family, and Zoe was was one of them, and and one thing with Zoe that that Lucy always did was was Lucy were kind of baby or like Lucy would lay in front. I mean, as always, we lay in front of Lucy and Lucy would be licking her ears.

Lano: 11:07

And and you know she'd be falling asleep while Lucy's right there, you know, baby in her. So once, once I had to put down Lucy. I mean Rocky was gone already and then I put down Lucy and then she was the only one left there. So she was depressed and that's why I had taken her to my mom's. And then, when my mom's, you know, she got with Oreo, that that whole temperament, it was like just perfect, fit, yeah, perfect, perfect. They weren't wild or nothing. And you know she was with Oreo so many damn years. And now Oreo's gone and you know she she's Gravitating to doesn't ask is Lucy taking or Zoe taking the heart?

Rick: 11:46

I guess she's the same old Mack, oh.

Lano: 11:48

Yeah.

Mig: 11:49

I mean, I mean she's still. She still seems like she's kind of Like depressed, sad and shit you know uh-huh, Because she'll still like going like stay from the beds and all that stuff you know, and Probably still look for him. But yeah, that's what they say. There's a. That's a good thing about dogs. You know, I said they do feel it and they're in the moment, but for them things pass quick.

Rick: 12:15

Yeah, and they just move on.

Lano: 12:17

You know one thing, one thing I had heard from that they were I heard it on the Andy for sell for cellists Podcasts. You're talking about dogs, real quick one time. Yeah and they said you know the whole. You know, one year equals seven years of the dog.

Mig: 12:33

Mm-hmm.

Lano: 12:34

And they said like one day, like he was said, it kind of hit me. He said one day is equivalent to a dog's week. He's like so imagine that when you just he goes, when you're an asshole to your dog and you just walk away from him like that's that one day, that's like you know you just gave your dog a shitty week of his life, oh no like it's kind of like damn man, that kind of hit me, hit me hard, dude.

Rick: 13:02

I was like oh, this is the guy you talk about this and the guy I mean the second time you brought him up his pocket.

Lano: 13:06

Yeah.

Rick: 13:07

I do, andy, for settlers.

Lano: 13:09

Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's, he's good man. You should get to see, check out his podcast. He has different, different like because he's he's a, he's a speaker. He's like a kind of a motivational speaker. He talks a lot and then he'll have his cruise the internet stories. Um, he'll. Oh is it under? I listen to a month on Spotify, um, and then he'll have like the three, like what played, a little bit that you can hear.

Mig: 13:46

I think most people lack at least one of those. It's not all three of those in reality.

Rick: 13:50

I mean we live in a victim culture. What is it like? Is he like a seal or something, or what is there? You don't know?

Lano: 13:57

No, the entrepreneur entrepreneur, but he's hardcore dude, mark mark, put me on to this part, I'll put me on to him. He's badass dude. He, they, they, he does his shoulder in St Louis. Right there, that's it, right there.

Rick: 14:13

Well, really, with any room.

Lano: 14:15

Yeah, it's his podcast. I mean when he gets round up like because he's just sick of, you know, of all the shit that's going on right now. It's a good podcast to go.

Mig: 14:25

Is he one? Because I seen a clip on instagram when there were some dude and he was like, like saying that he's not left or he's not right, but he's like, he's common sense, he's, he's, he's, he's that or yeah he's, he's in the middle, he's in the middle, but you know a lot of a lot of Slight right, just because of all the shit that's going on, yeah, but he's, he's, he's, he's, he's badass.

Lano: 14:56

And he was talking that one day about that dog when once he I heard him say I'm like damn.

Rick: 15:01

So one day is a week for the dog.

Lano: 15:04

Yeah, like it's almost like equivalent to like a week yeah.

Rick: 15:08

No, that's kind of like a good tip.

Lano: 15:10

Yeah, that makes. That will make you think like hey, man.

Lano: 15:13

You give your dog, some damn love dude. You know, don't just like I gotta do that like a lot of time. I'm like hey, they're doing something and then I kick them back into the Damn kennel. So if I have in the kennel all day, like damn, they're locked up for a week in their world. Oh, I was. I was hoping I. When Oreo past, I was hoping that they would leave them down the front. Well, well, I think Mack was in the front. Laura, laura got them back and we, we buried them in the front yard.

Rick: 15:45

I thought they say all our pets are in the yard back here.

Lano: 15:48

Yeah, I went down, I dug like about I don't know. Think almost five feet we call a woman now I I found the damn waistline, though I found the waistline, was it.

What's that? Like clay pipe, no.

Lano: 16:10

Yeah, yeah, it was kind of clay, yeah, it was they read it ours in those terracotta like yeah, that's what it was. It was Terracotta like Oakley.

Yeah something, something about the sewer septic system insurance right under the house. They you. As a homeowner. You're responsible for it and then they could you know any damage done to it, you're responsible to fix it, and the damage to it can cost over tens of thousands of dollars.

Laura probably wouldn't even care More than like that. I would think that that Laura would be like the thought that counts. Yeah, regardless of where they come from.

Rick: 24:22

Yeah, no the she shouldn't even have to toy.

Lano: 24:24

She shouldn't even have to tell you, dude, the street baby, why does she have to tell you in the morning you better bring me flowers. You should have brought her flowers, well, because she didn't like.

Rick: 24:32

She told me she didn't like him before, so anyway. So then I'll think is nowadays like if like the street vendors, like they take Ven Ven, though but I don't trust that like that's like bank to bank and why not? But with the street. I don't know that apple paper was with secure I'm secure apple paper, venmo's different Venmo's, like from your bank to your bank. So I was like I don't want to do this. I was like, oh, I gotta fucking go to AT&T and pull out cash All of a sudden.

Mig: 24:55

It was a trust technology. Yeah, so then.

Rick: 24:57

So then I started thinking like who could deliver flowers. So I remember like um, I don't know if you guys know, but amazon prime, they're connected with grubhub. Like you, like you're, if you have amazon prime, you have like a membership to grubhub. Oh, so there's like a savings on fees or whatever. So there I look at grubhub flowers. There is, there is uh, yeah, boom, Some some guy just dropped them off like an hour later straight from downtown, downtown flower market from guy driving. I told Laura.

Lano: 25:25

I was like hey, so you, so you gave your info to the guys in the callonis.

Rick: 25:31

It was grubhub. I gave it to grubhub, so grubhub.

Lano: 25:34

Uh, I told Laura that must have been, that must have been. Me mad money for those guys.

Rick: 25:38

I was like you busy doing that. And then she's like, no, I'm fine, why I like go outside and go get your flowers. And she was all happy, isn't that?

Lano: 25:47

That's a good, that's a nice surprise. Good job, yeah, so she was surprised.

Rick: 25:50

But like this grubhub I mean those delivery guys are delivering flowers that day, like you know, they deliver everything, so no, no, you just gave her secret away, dude. No, I told her. I told her she's like because, um, I had to receive the grubhub and like, and she's like how'd you do?

Lano: 26:03

she didn't get the flowers and say what? No, no chicken strips.

Rick: 26:09

Rick: 35:17

But like our stove, so see an air fryer to. When we bought it it has like a air fryer move. I mean we tried it once in the but like the whole house mouth like oil. Even though we're gonna do, I mean I want to try it again. Because, they're fine, they're all like that same, like kind of like a coffee pot thing. Are you thinking into? Yeah, are there more modern now?

Lano: 35:38

Rick: 36:50

I don't know if it's seasonal, but my wife has been making a mean corned beef sandwich lately, dude, and she's a buying the corned beef at Costco. It's um. I forgot what the brand is, but you know it's one of the little vacuum packed things, uh-huh. She gets it, she puts it in the crock pot like all day long, yeah, and then by the you know late afternoon she buys the right way slow the right bread and she is like, tastes like better than Santa Anita.

Rick: 37:16

I mean like better than Santa Anita and cannery or whatever, but that's a mean corner like buy it there's. There's two, one season and ones without. I think she buys a nonseason one but with with.

Okay, well, I was gonna tell you if you're gonna go blender, I Would go with the Vitamix.
