Okay, then we'll go back upstairs, you know, whatever. And then on Sunday, he goes down by himself. I've stayed in the hotel room the whole time until we eat. We're gonna have breakfast or something. And then I go up and I like do podcasting, blogging, whatever. Just relax and he goes

down. He plays cards all day. Now he won't sit at one table. He'll get up, move around. He'll go. There's two casinos that are kind of connected to he'll go back. He'll go back. That's a cat. Yeah, he'll go back and forth. We've been putting her outside too. Anyway, we'll go he'll go back and forth. And then they have a Starbucks there. So he'll get up till about two o'clock. He'll go over there and have given myself a cup of coffee and sit in the news watch people. But yeah, he

has a good time. That's good. That's good.

Gracie

Let's see if we can listen to the cat.

Carol Marks

She probably sees a bird.

Gracie

That's so funny. Since our topic is about I know we have Jelly Bean here.

Carol Marks

Did you get all caught up? caught up with everything. Thank you for getting coffee. She got coffee on the way over here for us too. I love the little Starbucks. Order app. Oh my gosh, I'm addicted to it now.

Gracie

I love any kind of fast food restaurant.

Carol Marks

Oh, no, it has spoiled me. Yeah.

Gracie

I think it's I feel like it's easier on the workers to because maybe they're not having to do face to face

Unknown

try to stress out Yeah. Bo like, on all the time. Yeah.

Gracie

So what else has gone on my week?

Unknown

Do you feel at work

Gracie

I did. Or Wednesday, just not watching where I was going and I rolled my ankle and then my knee caught my fall and it hurt the first day. Thursday. It was a little sore. But then by Friday, it was okay. It's just scabbed over when I was wearing jeans. I

Unknown

really I know you really fell hard. Yeah.

Gracie

But the thing spectacular.

Unknown

Yeah. Right in front of everybody to where they saw. So

Gracie

you know how when I don't know how it is on your shift. But when everybody leaves. It's everybody in mass x. Yes.

Unknown

mass exodus. Well, I

Gracie

since I was on the phone, I wanted to wait till everybody got out of the way. So I was kind of one of the last ones to leave out the building. Oh, this was at lunchtime. Yeah.

Carol Marks

Oh, so nobody was inside watching you.

Gracie

So there were a couple people that were inside.

Unknown

I say I thought it was just a regular. You went outside did whatever. No.

Gracie

One person did see me from the inside? No, he asked if I was okay. But I cried like a stupid baby.

Unknown

I told you

Gracie

why you cry. And you are right.

Carol Marks

And she's under stressed, built up stress.

Gracie

But I was angry too. Because during lunch I just got into this routine of walking around the building and walking at least a mile and a half to two miles every day. Yeah. And I had brought my tennis shoes

Carol Marks

and I was on the way to go change my shoes.

Gracie

So I was really mad about that, because that would delay me doing my workout. But I am going to start I'm on the fence about going back to a gym because you do have to wear masks. Yeah, you are around people. And if I can limit that exposure, I do it at all costs, but I just can't do it at my apartment gym. It's so small and they close that weird time, you know? So I figured I could just take the best of my free time right now and just do it at work.

Unknown

Yeah, that's, I mean, that's a good little area to walk around.

Gracie

And we have quite a lot of people that knew.

Carol Marks

Anyway, what

Gracie

are you listening to? We're both listening to

Podcasts We Are Listening To

podcasts.

Carol Marks

Oh my gosh, yes. So I'm on a. I'm on a kick with right now. I'm listening to business wars. I've listened to Estee Lauder versus L'Oreal I've listened to Macy's versus gimble. I've listened to who's the other one? I said, McDonald's versus that's what I'm listening to now. Okay. But I was Listen, there was another one I can't remember but Starbucks and don't start. That's it Starbucks and Dunkin I love listening to these stories, how they got started, the history of it all is just

fascinating to me. I love it

Gracie

right now. I'm listening to how SpaceX versus Blue Origin and how they got started.

Carol Marks

I never heard of Blue Origin. I didn't either.

Gracie

And I knew of SpaceX

Carol Marks

and I didn't know that Elon Musk had started PayPal, me either. He was

Gracie

a co founder of PayPal, he got fired from PayPal, but he still kept shares. And he was able to get money when they sold PayPal to eBay. So he was a millionaire at this point, he wanted to put people on Mars. And then I didn't know what Blue Origin was. And I was like, well, maybe it's an underground thing.

Carol Marks

No, it's Jeff Bezos of Amazon. He owns Blue Origin. Okay, I had no idea all these billionaire

Unknown

billionaire people in the space. Well, here's why

Carol Marks

word. I heard this on a radio. It was probably one of my podcasts, I listened to pat unleashed or Glenn Beck. They talked about how these billionaires are the only ones that are putting satellites up in space wars right now.

Gracie

Yeah, NASA. Now this was back in what 2000, early 2000s. When all this happened, I didn't know that Elon Musk went back that far to the 2000 while he was just 2010. Right. But it's interesting to listen to how these people started. And I'm at the part where Elon Musk is flopping right now,

Carol Marks

Jeff Bezos is succeeding. Right. Okay. But it's interesting. Yeah, I love him. And there's they have so much more on there. And it's by the media called wondery.

Gracie

Which they have another series called Dr. Death.

Unknown

Oh my gosh, y'all. Oh,

Gracie

I find it interesting. But it also angers me when I listen to these doctors taking advantage of their power. Yeah,

Carol Marks

yeah. I was more horrified and terrified of listening to what went on just I guess I'm naive. Still at 54 years old. I want to believe the best that I've ever buddy. I think you know, everybody's doing what they're supposed to be doing. Yeah. So when I hear something like this, it's blows my mind

Gracie

very, very hard to grasp

Carol Marks

is Dr. Dutch was the first one I listened to the neurosurgeon. And then the other one is the cancer guy, Dr. fata. And then I had a Google and look up to him look like me, too. Oh, wow.

Gracie

And it's funny because you can't tell that they're evil. I know. Anyway, Dr. Ducks,

Unknown

I want to look a certain way. But Dr.

Gracie

fata looks like a regular Hmm. You know, God actually looks like a physician that is trying to help you. Right? He has that caring looking face. And then I was listening. I got to the part where that everybody was saying something At his trial and how he just didn't say a word. He didn't express anything. He didn't even look at the people's families. I'm like, this guy's cold hearted. Yes. Very much though. He

Carol Marks

was money hungry. He was. He's only 50. Yeah. All right. Anyway, pets, pets pet on with the regular topic we were supposed to talk about.

Gracie

So we wanted to talk about our childhood pets. And

Our Childhood Pets

the pets we have now right? And then we're gonna do some quizzes. Yes. So what dogs and pets Did you have when you grew up?

Carol Marks

The very first pet I ever remember having an I don't know if we're allowed to call him this anymore. I'll just call it black and tan dog. We call them something else when I was growing up. And I don't know. For some reason. I think it's derogatory now, but I don't. I don't know what type of dog was it? I don't know. Oh, it was a black and tan dog. No, I don't. He may have made like a Rottweiler perhaps. But we call him macoun. Dog. hunting dog.

Yeah, yeah. But I don't know if they appropriate now.

Unknown

I don't think so. They call them something else.

Carol Marks

He's not a pointer. He was a big dog. But he had like tan Paul's. But his everything else was black. His name was Pete. He was a good dog. q p does very first dog. I remember I remember. I was little like five, probably maybe maybe a little, maybe a little older. But we had a family member over my mother's brother's wife and her child came over, was visiting. And Michelle was the little girl's name and she was younger than me. She was crawling and she

crawled over to pizza bowl. And she was I guess gonna play with it. And my mom kind of skipped down to like, get her away from it. And Pete kind of got mad at my mom. Because I guess he thought he was using a dog to I guess she gives Pete thought my mom was going to go down and hurt the baby. And all he did was grab her pant leg. But anyway, yeah, it's Then we had red, which was an Irish setter. Oh my god that was wild. He got he untamed. He got loose all the time. And he just ran and ran

and ran. And did he always come back? Yeah, we you know, I have to get on my bike and try to go hunting down and not that I could ever catch him but now with this in Florida, Ohio,

My mom, my stepmom and my dad had their little dogs. They had rosebud. They had Sweet Pea, and they had Buttercup. What kind of dogs were that? They were all mutts. They were they were small dogs.

Carol Marks

so curious, like, no. So yeah, they it was through an adoption agency. We only had him for like the weekend. Yes, to see if it was a bit. So it was

Gracie

Unknown

we didn't want to hurt him, right.

Carol Marks

JACK was already what he didn't like carry a whole lot. He wouldn't have anything to carry for that birthday or to stay with me and he wouldn't walk on a leash. No. He just wanted to lay on my lap. That's all he wanted to do. Yeah, but then a couple days later we got the groomer over here

Unknown

and shaved him and gave him a haircut trim his nails didn't shave him.

And they had the cat had kittens, and I'm like, well, we'll get one of them. And so we went over there and got the cat brought home.

But I you know, once I got home and backup, jack had killed his first chipmunk on the back of the back porch like a week few weeks before. He You know, he saw a chipmunk on the back porch. Gary let him out. And jack caught the chipmunk and I was not here at the time. Was this his only chicken he'd ever kill? Yes. The first one. I think that was his first one.

Okay. I don't know if he got another one after that or not. But he would chase a bunch of melanin. Yeah. But anyway, so I brought the cat home the kitten and you realize and I realized, oh my gosh, this cat is smaller than I thought. This kitten was smaller than I thought it was compared to jack and I thought oh, Jack's gonna think it's a chipmunk and kill it. But he did not know that Jill was so cute that she was so tiny. She got underneath a TV stand. Hi,

Carol Marks

The Story of George

Carol Marks

He was a good dog. He

Unknown

was it.

Carol Marks

Let me tell you a story about that, too. I'm sure I've told you this before. We got him. I think I was pregnant with you. We got him as a puppy. We lived in an apartment at the time. And I don't know why we got a dog living in an apartment. We should have never done it. But we did. The dog was very active.

Gracie

boxers usually are very act like a puppy puppy. Yes,

Carol Marks

he was. He was jumping all over the furniture. You know, I mean, he was active, very active. I won't say wild but he was active. And I thought oh no. When I have Gracie. We're gonna have to get rid of George because he's wild. He's, he's not gonna calm down. I mean, I'm, I'm afraid because he would jump up on the bed. And so I remember when I brought you home to the hospital. I laid you down on the we walked in, right? Did you let him sniff we walked in and I thought, okay, if this dog

jumps over the bed, he's gone. I can't have it. I can't do it and brand new mom with a brand new baby. I'm not having anything that's gonna harm my child. So I laid you down on the bed. And he came over he was older at the time. I mean, he had grown out of a puppy thing. And he came over to the bed and all he did was he laid his head on the bed next to you. He didn't jump on the bed at all which he is personality changed instantly when I brought you through that door, isn't that funny? he

calmed down like, instantly. He knew he must have. And then when when we moved to the house, you know when you got to crawl in and everything, you, you, you you played with that dog hard you would go over wall, you'd flop down on him. You'd like flop down, sit on him. Yeah. And he would just, he would, he wouldn't do anything. I remember that. And you would crawl over to him. And he would be laying there with his paws out. And when you got closer to him, he would tuck his paws in. Oh, so

he wouldn't scratch you. Oh, so you know,

Gracie

I was trying to find a picture just a minute ago of me. I was must have been maybe three, two or three. It looks like in the picture. And it's me standing eye level with George and I'm hugging his neck but we're the same high Yeah, that was it that total you know media three so just shows you how big toy Yes, Yep. Yep.

Gracie

We have Otis he's the older one. He's He's turning five this year. Dylan and I got him when we moved into our first apartment and what kind of dogs are they? That so they're both Australian Shepherd blue heeler mixes. Okay. Otis shows more of a blue heeler because of his patterns in his fur, but he also has the build of a Australian shepherd. He's got the tail. He's got fluffy hair. Definitely a perfect mix. We It was funny because Dylan and I want a dog

so so so dang bad. And we'd gone to go into the cats and dogs down here by the PetSmart. And we wanted this German Shepherd. It was a girl. She was six months old. She was very tame, very calm. Probably. She was probably scared because of the commotion. And they were like, Okay, well, do you live in a house? And we were like, no. So we left. I was super bummed out. Dylan was like, look on Craigslist. Just look and I'm like, I don't want to look on

Unknown

Craigslist serial

Gracie

killer website. Yeah, you had raised me to think that. So I was looking and looking and looking and I came across this ad for blue heeler puppies, Australian Shepherd blue heeler puppies out in the middle of nowhere. Well, we went and drove down there contacted the man. It was a man and a wife. Very, very nice people. out in the middle of nowhere. big huge house.

Their house was so huge. Big farm, big land well, and this guy, he met us out out front and the porch and the wife was sitting on her porch rocking her little chair. And he brought out the two puppies. He said I got to lift their brothers. He was trying to get us a dog. Right. And we were like, We can only commit to one right now. And Dylan's like Alright, we'll pick one out grace. And he was like, well, I picked Otis out because he had the most brown on his face. And we went home and I was

obsessed with this dog. I don't by my side. I always held you still are obsessed. Oh, you always held him like a little baby. Yeah, he was so cuddly. Such a cuddly dog. He still is. And then we had gotten to our other apartment. This was about February of 2019. And we've had odors for a long time. He was already like three years old at this time. And I was like I want another dog. We have a little bit bigger apartment than we did.

Carol Marks

He needs to take with both the dog park. Oh, oh yeah, we're

Gracie

very active with Otis. And I was like, I just want another dog so bad. And we did the same thing. Did you go back to the same people? No, no, we went on Craigslist. Oh, gosh. Okay. And contacted this man who lived I think he was just outside of he wasn't that far away as the first one. But we went and pulled up to this house again in the middle of nowhere. big huge house. He apparently is the department manager of the fire department here in

Huntsville. So I trusted him I was like all right, you you know Huntsville, so Okay. big huge house. I mean Mansion House. And he took us out to the barn where he had horses. pigs. Wow. He had the he had the parents on site the

voters with you know,

Gracie

we didn't but we told him we had we already had this dog. He showed us the mom and dad of onyx, and very, very pretty dogs. Mum was a pure Australian shepherd and one was a pure blue healer.

Carol Marks

Oh,

Gracie

we went out to the pin where he was keeping all the puppies and there was maybe like six of them. And I really, really, really, really wanted the white one. Dylan's like no ODIs has white hair. He's already getting white hair all over the place. Let's get just a black dog show hairs.

Unknown

So Dylan picked up on it.

Gracie

Okay, even though I wanted the other one, but he picked out on it. And you know, the bond that jack can carry? That's the same bond that Dylan and Lance have. That's great in

Carol Marks

that crazy how humans and pets can bond certain ones can bond. Yeah.

Gracie

So onyx is very much a puppy. He just turned two in December. But he is just the precious precious poo. He doesn't have a tail. He doesn't know he squeals but out of curiosity supposed to have tails. Um,

Unknown

so did the did the breeder.

Gracie

I didn't ask because we honestly didn't even notice it. I thought maybe he would grow into his tail. His tail would grow. I'm assuming the way I feel onyx is not that doesn't feel like it was

Unknown

perfectly.

Gracie

I feel like he was born that way. Okay. But yeah, onyx was so fluffy to he was a fluff ball. So I was like, Oh, great. He's gonna have long hair longer than ODIs is. No, His hair is very thin and fine. And he doesn't have a thick coat like Otis Otis has very much of an undercoat. onyx is very thin.
