Arrrrroooooooooooooo! On today’s episode, the GenX Stories gang is talking all about our furry friends. The ones we had growing up, the ones we maybe shouldn't have had and why we love TikTok dogs so much now. Between Chris’s pug's viral MRI, Lori’s wish for an illegal hedgehog and Eve’s Monty Python parakeet issues, you won’t believe the role pets have always had in our lives.
