1
00:00:01,402 --> 00:00:03,369
[tia] coming up
on pit bulls & parolees.
2
00:00:03,471 --> 00:00:05,738
An animal shelter
in east texas called us.
3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:07,172
They have two dogs
4
00:00:07,274 --> 00:00:09,108
that they picked up
along the side
5
00:00:09,210 --> 00:00:10,743
of some desolate road.
6
00:00:10,845 --> 00:00:11,744
They scanned one of the dogs.
7
00:00:11,846 --> 00:00:13,746
The chip came back to us.
8
00:00:15,116 --> 00:00:17,182
A lot of unanswered
questions.
9
00:00:17,284 --> 00:00:18,450
Hi, girls.
10
00:00:18,552 --> 00:00:21,120
And we may not ever
get the answers.
11
00:00:24,225 --> 00:00:26,191
[woman] look at
how cute they are?
12
00:00:26,293 --> 00:00:27,960
It was love
at first sight.
13
00:00:28,062 --> 00:00:29,661
Hello.
14
00:00:29,764 --> 00:00:31,563
They're both
just simply adorable.
15
00:00:31,665 --> 00:00:33,165
Look at you.
16
00:00:33,267 --> 00:00:34,433
[mariah t.] that min pin
wasn't this small
17
00:00:34,535 --> 00:00:35,901
-when you got him, was he?
-No.
18
00:00:36,003 --> 00:00:38,103
[woman] we wanted
to make sure that remington
19
00:00:38,205 --> 00:00:39,738
have a brother to play.
20
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,173
[mariah t.] is this too much
for you right now?
21
00:00:41,275 --> 00:00:42,374
Ooh.
22
00:00:42,476 --> 00:00:43,942
You're getting--uh-oh.
23
00:00:44,045 --> 00:00:45,611
He's really overwhelmed
right now.
24
00:00:45,713 --> 00:00:47,212
-[woman] yeah.
-[mariah t.] I've never seen
him like this.
25
00:00:47,314 --> 00:00:48,814
This is something that I have
to call my mom about
26
00:00:48,916 --> 00:00:50,549
'cause I have no idea
what to do.
27
00:00:54,488 --> 00:00:57,623
We just keep barely getting
missed with hurricanes.
28
00:00:57,725 --> 00:01:01,527
And at some point,
it's not gonna miss you.
29
00:01:02,830 --> 00:01:04,630
[tia] there are
always concerns.
30
00:01:07,334 --> 00:01:09,435
We never say we got this.
31
00:01:09,537 --> 00:01:11,370
We hope we got this.
32
00:01:11,472 --> 00:01:12,838
[dogs barking]
33
00:01:12,940 --> 00:01:15,641
[slow rock music playing]
34
00:01:15,743 --> 00:01:17,509
[tia]
my name is tia maria torres.
35
00:01:17,611 --> 00:01:19,812
For more than 20 years,
I've run a sanctuary
36
00:01:19,914 --> 00:01:21,680
dedicated
for second chances.
37
00:01:24,518 --> 00:01:26,351
It's for over
300 pit bulls,
38
00:01:26,454 --> 00:01:29,021
the world's most
misunderstood breed of dog.
39
00:01:30,224 --> 00:01:32,691
And for parolees,
the guys I hire
40
00:01:32,793 --> 00:01:34,626
because no one else will.
41
00:01:34,728 --> 00:01:36,462
My family and I
have devoted our lives
42
00:01:36,564 --> 00:01:38,530
to saving these dogs
we love so much.
43
00:01:38,632 --> 00:01:40,132
From louisiana swamps,
44
00:01:40,234 --> 00:01:41,633
to the streets
of new orleans,
45
00:01:41,735 --> 00:01:43,836
the city
of second chances,
46
00:01:43,938 --> 00:01:46,839
our mission is to rescue,
but my hope is one day,
47
00:01:46,941 --> 00:01:48,674
we won't have to.
48
00:01:52,012 --> 00:01:55,013
[instrumental music playing]
49
00:02:05,359 --> 00:02:08,393
[tia] so we've had
the warehouse nine years now.
50
00:02:11,732 --> 00:02:13,799
When I found this place,
51
00:02:13,901 --> 00:02:15,367
it was a little rough
around the edges.
52
00:02:15,469 --> 00:02:18,270
I mean, it was still
like completely destroyed
53
00:02:18,372 --> 00:02:19,705
from hurricane katrina.
54
00:02:19,807 --> 00:02:21,340
And it was one of those
things where, you know,
55
00:02:21,442 --> 00:02:24,510
the landlord said,
"hey, you fix it up,
56
00:02:24,612 --> 00:02:26,245
you can have it."
57
00:02:27,481 --> 00:02:29,948
painting it and putting
everything back together,
58
00:02:30,050 --> 00:02:32,818
the place
looked spectacular.
59
00:02:33,954 --> 00:02:35,387
Wow.
60
00:02:35,489 --> 00:02:37,089
Now, it looks,
looks really cute.
61
00:02:37,191 --> 00:02:39,391
[tia] it was beautiful,
you know, for a warehouse.
62
00:02:39,493 --> 00:02:41,927
But since being here
for such a long time,
63
00:02:42,029 --> 00:02:43,929
we've had to make some
adjustments.
64
00:02:44,031 --> 00:02:45,297
The biggest issue
when it comes
65
00:02:45,399 --> 00:02:46,565
to this warehouse
is the flooding.
66
00:02:46,667 --> 00:02:49,668
[dramatic music playing]
67
00:02:53,073 --> 00:02:55,374
this kennel
is full of water.
68
00:02:55,476 --> 00:02:56,942
[tia]
during the summer months,
69
00:02:57,044 --> 00:02:58,177
when it starts to rain
70
00:02:58,279 --> 00:02:59,912
is when it becomes
exhausting.
71
00:03:00,014 --> 00:03:02,347
The flooding, the flooding,
the flooding.
72
00:03:02,449 --> 00:03:03,982
[mariah t. Speaking]
73
00:03:05,152 --> 00:03:07,386
oh, my god.
It's pretty bad.
74
00:03:07,488 --> 00:03:09,321
[tia] the leaking,
the leaking, the leaking.
75
00:03:09,423 --> 00:03:11,456
And what a lot of people
don't realize,
76
00:03:11,559 --> 00:03:13,592
it's, again,
not our building.
77
00:03:13,694 --> 00:03:15,260
We rent it.
78
00:03:15,362 --> 00:03:17,896
So if there are
to be repairs,
79
00:03:17,998 --> 00:03:19,798
we have to make them.
80
00:03:19,867 --> 00:03:22,434
[thunder rumbling]
81
00:03:24,905 --> 00:03:26,171
-[man speaking]
-[tia] yeah.
82
00:03:26,273 --> 00:03:27,439
It just...
It's everywhere.
83
00:03:27,541 --> 00:03:29,107
It just, it just...
Everything just fills up
84
00:03:29,210 --> 00:03:30,475
and it just turns
into a raging river.
85
00:03:30,578 --> 00:03:32,678
This is pretty decent.
Yeah.
86
00:03:32,780 --> 00:03:34,079
This is like a little
island under here.
87
00:03:34,181 --> 00:03:36,081
-Yeah.
-The ground behind
88
00:03:36,183 --> 00:03:38,016
-the building is higher up...
-[tia] yes.
89
00:03:38,118 --> 00:03:39,318
[emily] ...Than the ground
in the building.
90
00:03:39,420 --> 00:03:40,752
-So it comes this way.
-So it will come in
91
00:03:40,854 --> 00:03:42,821
and we have pumps
pushing it back out.
92
00:03:42,923 --> 00:03:44,423
So to combat the flooding
93
00:03:44,525 --> 00:03:46,258
around our building,
94
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,595
we've tried everything.
We've hired engineers.
95
00:03:49,697 --> 00:03:51,863
We've dug trenches
around the building.
96
00:03:51,966 --> 00:03:54,099
You name it,
we've done it.
97
00:03:54,201 --> 00:03:56,134
Well, no,
here's my new philosophy.
98
00:03:56,237 --> 00:03:58,103
We are no longer
going to fight the water.
99
00:03:58,205 --> 00:04:00,038
-We're going to work with it.
-[emily] we're gonna
embrace it, yeah.
100
00:04:00,140 --> 00:04:01,373
We're just gonna work
with it.
101
00:04:01,475 --> 00:04:02,541
We're not gonna fight
the water anymore.
102
00:04:02,643 --> 00:04:05,377
Living where I live,
which is out of the swamp.
103
00:04:05,479 --> 00:04:06,912
I live over water.
104
00:04:07,014 --> 00:04:09,848
And I've just learned
to adapt.
105
00:04:09,917 --> 00:04:11,049
You just got to work
with the water.
106
00:04:11,151 --> 00:04:12,217
You don't work against it
107
00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:13,719
'cause you're never gonna win.
108
00:04:13,821 --> 00:04:15,687
And that's what gave me
the idea
109
00:04:15,789 --> 00:04:18,557
to do what I wanna do
at the warehouse.
110
00:04:18,659 --> 00:04:20,993
What I wanna do
with these kennels
111
00:04:21,095 --> 00:04:23,128
is tear them out
112
00:04:23,230 --> 00:04:24,830
and have you build platforms,
113
00:04:24,932 --> 00:04:26,331
same thing with a walkway.
114
00:04:26,433 --> 00:04:27,933
We'll just have
like a railing.
115
00:04:28,035 --> 00:04:29,868
-So nobody will fall off
and then...
-Yeah, because I will.
116
00:04:29,970 --> 00:04:32,337
Then like steps maybe
on each end or something.
117
00:04:32,439 --> 00:04:33,772
I'm building
the kennels up
118
00:04:33,874 --> 00:04:36,475
as if they were in the swamp,
over the water.
119
00:04:36,577 --> 00:04:38,043
The kennels will be put
120
00:04:38,145 --> 00:04:39,578
on the actual
wooden platforms,
121
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:40,846
tin roof over top.
122
00:04:40,948 --> 00:04:42,547
And this way,
when it floods,
123
00:04:42,650 --> 00:04:44,283
you don't have
to take dogs out.
124
00:04:44,385 --> 00:04:46,585
Would you be able... Like,
if we just did one section,
125
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,654
would you be able to work
with it with these still here?
126
00:04:48,756 --> 00:04:51,423
-[carl] yeah.
-Okay. So if we just tore
down one section...
127
00:04:51,525 --> 00:04:53,792
We'll tear down half
of these...
128
00:04:53,894 --> 00:04:56,061
-Oh, okay.
-...Build a section...
129
00:04:56,163 --> 00:04:57,596
-And then... Okay.
-...Put dogs in.
130
00:04:57,698 --> 00:04:59,431
-So much easier.
-I could tear down that half,
131
00:04:59,533 --> 00:05:02,134
-tie it in put them back in.
-Okay. Okay.
132
00:05:02,236 --> 00:05:04,369
So when the area floods
after a rain, it's...
133
00:05:04,471 --> 00:05:06,138
We grab the dogs,
crate them,
134
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:07,539
everybody gets
moved upstairs,
135
00:05:07,641 --> 00:05:09,841
or if it hasn't flooded
into the warehouse,
136
00:05:09,943 --> 00:05:12,210
sometimes they can stay
in the front room.
137
00:05:12,313 --> 00:05:14,846
We kind of put fans on them
to make sure they stay cool.
138
00:05:14,948 --> 00:05:16,782
And then we just
wait it out.
139
00:05:16,884 --> 00:05:18,717
It's so much work.
140
00:05:18,819 --> 00:05:21,119
Like so much work.
141
00:05:21,221 --> 00:05:22,921
It'll be
a whole new world, man.
142
00:05:23,023 --> 00:05:24,022
I'm telling you,
you're gonna be...
143
00:05:24,124 --> 00:05:25,324
You guys are gonna be
in heaven
144
00:05:25,426 --> 00:05:26,858
when all of these
kennels are... We're all...
145
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,894
They're all being lifted up
off the ground.
146
00:05:28,996 --> 00:05:31,563
Okay. The three of you come up
with the materials list,
147
00:05:31,665 --> 00:05:33,065
so your brother
can get an ordered.
148
00:05:33,167 --> 00:05:34,933
-Yeah.
-[tia] as soon as I know
when it's gonna be here,
149
00:05:35,035 --> 00:05:36,868
then we'll have a timeframe
so we can get the dogs
150
00:05:36,970 --> 00:05:38,070
moving and tear this down.
151
00:05:38,172 --> 00:05:39,805
You know, with covid hitting,
you know,
152
00:05:39,873 --> 00:05:41,773
we shut down the warehouse.
We don't... We don't allow
153
00:05:41,875 --> 00:05:43,008
the public
in there right now.
154
00:05:43,110 --> 00:05:45,243
No tours,
travel restrictions.
155
00:05:45,346 --> 00:05:46,712
I thought, "you know what?
156
00:05:46,814 --> 00:05:48,146
Now is the time to do it."
157
00:05:48,215 --> 00:05:50,048
no more...
No more evacuating dogs
158
00:05:50,150 --> 00:05:51,249
every time it rains.
159
00:05:52,486 --> 00:05:54,653
So along with dealing
with the...
160
00:05:54,755 --> 00:05:57,656
A covid pandemic,
it's almost hurricane season.
161
00:05:57,758 --> 00:05:59,825
We've been hit
by several big storms
162
00:05:59,927 --> 00:06:01,727
and hurricanes
throughout the years.
163
00:06:01,829 --> 00:06:03,829
And with each one,
they knock us down
164
00:06:03,931 --> 00:06:05,697
and push us to our limits.
165
00:06:05,799 --> 00:06:09,101
So in getting
this warehouse into shape,
166
00:06:09,203 --> 00:06:12,003
it was a thing where time
was of the essence.
167
00:06:12,106 --> 00:06:14,339
All right, troops,
see you tomorrow.
168
00:06:18,712 --> 00:06:21,713
[upbeat music playing]
169
00:06:26,286 --> 00:06:28,353
[mariah t.] today I'm meeting
potential adopters,
170
00:06:28,455 --> 00:06:30,689
a family from texas
that are coming to look
171
00:06:30,791 --> 00:06:33,225
at two puppies that we have.
172
00:06:33,327 --> 00:06:34,593
-Hi. How are you doing?
-Hi.
173
00:06:34,695 --> 00:06:36,461
I'm nikkie.
I'm from texas.
174
00:06:36,563 --> 00:06:39,164
And my family and I came
to villalobos to adopt a dog.
175
00:06:39,266 --> 00:06:41,666
I am here today
with my husband, fitz,
176
00:06:41,769 --> 00:06:43,735
and daughters,
teaghan and delaney.
177
00:06:43,837 --> 00:06:45,137
Oh, did you draw me
something?
178
00:06:45,239 --> 00:06:46,738
I'm terrible of drawing.
It's probably better
179
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:48,340
than what I can draw.
180
00:06:48,442 --> 00:06:50,442
Is that your name?
181
00:06:50,544 --> 00:06:51,610
Your name is so pretty.
182
00:06:51,712 --> 00:06:54,012
You guys are way better
at drawing than I am.
183
00:06:54,114 --> 00:06:57,249
[teaghan] my name is teaghan
and I am from texas.
184
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,953
[chuckles]
185
00:07:02,055 --> 00:07:03,221
[woman speaking]
186
00:07:03,323 --> 00:07:05,390
delaney.
187
00:07:05,492 --> 00:07:07,759
[woman speaking]
188
00:07:07,861 --> 00:07:10,862
-to find a puppy?
-Puppy.
189
00:07:10,964 --> 00:07:12,597
[mariah t.] thank you, guys,
for my pictures.
190
00:07:12,699 --> 00:07:14,466
These are gonna go
on my fridge, I promise you.
191
00:07:14,568 --> 00:07:17,436
These adopters actually
just adopted a puppy
192
00:07:17,538 --> 00:07:20,639
from another rescue
and they want a playmate
193
00:07:20,741 --> 00:07:22,774
for the one
that they just adopted.
194
00:07:22,876 --> 00:07:24,776
Okay. So what kind of puppy?
How old?
195
00:07:24,878 --> 00:07:26,311
-[nikkie] he's a pittie.
-[mariah t.] okay.
196
00:07:26,447 --> 00:07:28,180
He's three months today.
197
00:07:29,616 --> 00:07:31,550
[mariah t.] they actually
filled out applications
198
00:07:31,652 --> 00:07:35,020
for a different rescue
and us,
199
00:07:35,122 --> 00:07:37,155
and had just adopted
their little puppy
200
00:07:37,257 --> 00:07:40,826
when we approved them
to come meet our puppies.
201
00:07:40,928 --> 00:07:42,994
And this family thought
202
00:07:43,096 --> 00:07:44,629
why not just go with both
203
00:07:44,731 --> 00:07:46,798
and get a friend for the one
they already have,
204
00:07:46,867 --> 00:07:49,468
so they're rescuing
two different dogs.
205
00:07:49,570 --> 00:07:51,803
We adopted our last two
from a rescue...
206
00:07:51,905 --> 00:07:53,305
Were your last dogs
pit bulls?
207
00:07:53,407 --> 00:07:54,973
-Yeah.
Yeah, american.
-[mariah t.] okay.
208
00:07:55,042 --> 00:07:57,275
-You had two of them that...
-They were brothers.
209
00:07:57,377 --> 00:07:59,778
Tank and rebel were 16 weeks
when we adopted them.
210
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:02,013
They were bundles of love,
211
00:08:02,115 --> 00:08:04,583
and they were definitely
co-dependent.
212
00:08:04,685 --> 00:08:06,485
Wherever one went,
the other one went.
213
00:08:06,587 --> 00:08:08,220
To the point where
they would even sleep
214
00:08:08,322 --> 00:08:09,521
on top of each other.
215
00:08:09,623 --> 00:08:10,956
They were completely adorable.
216
00:08:11,058 --> 00:08:12,257
[nikkie] yeah.
And they were...
217
00:08:12,359 --> 00:08:14,259
They were best friends,
and...
218
00:08:14,361 --> 00:08:15,927
Doesn't always happen
with siblings.
219
00:08:16,029 --> 00:08:17,395
People don't get that.
People assume that
220
00:08:17,498 --> 00:08:18,797
because their siblings,
they're gonna get along.
221
00:08:18,899 --> 00:08:20,131
-That doesn't mean they will.
-[fitz] yeah.
222
00:08:20,234 --> 00:08:21,867
-[mariah t.] so you guys
got lucky.
-We did.
223
00:08:21,969 --> 00:08:25,136
We had tank and rebel
for eleven and a half years.
224
00:08:25,239 --> 00:08:28,206
Rebel passed away
this year in may,
225
00:08:28,308 --> 00:08:31,376
and tank passed away
in September.
226
00:08:31,478 --> 00:08:33,812
They were totally fun
and really playful.
227
00:08:33,914 --> 00:08:35,413
I absolutely do love
both those dogs.
228
00:08:35,516 --> 00:08:38,316
And I think it's just
an absolute positive
229
00:08:38,418 --> 00:08:40,352
page-turner for us,
230
00:08:43,957 --> 00:08:45,690
closing one chapter.
231
00:08:47,327 --> 00:08:49,194
It'll be great to refill
their space.
232
00:08:50,430 --> 00:08:51,763
[mariah t.] so the puppy
that you all have now,
233
00:08:51,865 --> 00:08:54,132
remington, which I love,
234
00:08:54,234 --> 00:08:55,834
have you guys ever had him
around other dogs?
235
00:08:55,936 --> 00:08:57,536
Yeah, I know he's still
really young.
236
00:08:57,638 --> 00:08:59,938
Actually, the foster family
that we got him from,
237
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,475
his sister was there and then
they had two larger dogs.
238
00:09:03,577 --> 00:09:05,477
-So he's been around
other dogs.
-He has, yes.
239
00:09:05,579 --> 00:09:07,245
Tank and rebel
we adopted at the same time.
240
00:09:07,347 --> 00:09:10,148
They were from the same
litter, same rescue facility.
241
00:09:10,250 --> 00:09:12,617
And we wanted to make sure
that remington
242
00:09:12,719 --> 00:09:14,286
had a brother to play with,
243
00:09:14,388 --> 00:09:16,021
so they would
grow up together
244
00:09:16,123 --> 00:09:18,023
and just have puppy
playtime.
245
00:09:18,125 --> 00:09:19,724
[mariah t.] the puppies
you guys are meeting today
246
00:09:19,826 --> 00:09:21,493
are 13 weeks.
They're teeny...
247
00:09:21,595 --> 00:09:23,228
-[fitz] right.
-[mariah t.] ...Which is new
for me.
248
00:09:23,330 --> 00:09:24,796
I'm not used to doing
meet-and-greets
249
00:09:24,898 --> 00:09:26,598
with dogs this small
or puppies.
250
00:09:26,700 --> 00:09:28,333
-Yeah. Yeah.
-[mariah t.] and their
new puppy, remington,
251
00:09:28,435 --> 00:09:30,035
he hasn't had all
of his shots yet.
252
00:09:30,137 --> 00:09:31,970
We didn't want him
in the play yard
253
00:09:32,072 --> 00:09:34,105
with our puppies as well
that haven't had
254
00:09:34,207 --> 00:09:35,340
their full shots.
255
00:09:35,442 --> 00:09:37,576
Somebody dropped
the mama dog off
256
00:09:37,678 --> 00:09:39,077
with three puppies.
257
00:09:39,179 --> 00:09:41,279
Their sister actually
has a home already.
258
00:09:41,381 --> 00:09:44,015
And then we have the two boys
that you all will meet today.
259
00:09:44,117 --> 00:09:45,750
They're very, very sweet.
260
00:09:45,819 --> 00:09:47,852
Bro and poppy.
261
00:09:47,955 --> 00:09:49,988
One is very cuddly.
They're both goofy.
262
00:09:50,090 --> 00:09:52,057
They're really well-behaved
for puppies.
263
00:09:52,159 --> 00:09:53,959
-You all are lucky.
-Oh, wow.
264
00:09:54,061 --> 00:09:56,494
This family doesn't have
too many specifications
265
00:09:56,597 --> 00:09:58,863
on dogs that they want.
They just wanted
266
00:09:58,966 --> 00:10:01,466
another puppy and they wanted
it to be a pit bull.
267
00:10:01,568 --> 00:10:03,134
Do you guys wanna meet
268
00:10:03,236 --> 00:10:05,070
possibly your new
little brother?
269
00:10:05,172 --> 00:10:07,305
Okay. I'm gonna go get them
and let you guys meet them.
270
00:10:07,407 --> 00:10:09,441
-Okay.
-They're very small.
271
00:10:09,543 --> 00:10:10,575
You ready?
272
00:10:10,677 --> 00:10:12,611
We are looking for,
in a dog,
273
00:10:12,713 --> 00:10:14,279
just someone who is gonna be
274
00:10:14,381 --> 00:10:17,816
an all-around great animal
to grow with our family.
275
00:10:17,918 --> 00:10:19,217
With having younger kids,
276
00:10:19,319 --> 00:10:21,886
we want them to be able
to have the security
277
00:10:21,989 --> 00:10:24,656
of having a dog,
and having a playmate,
278
00:10:24,758 --> 00:10:27,826
and somebody to also be
responsible to take care of.
279
00:10:27,928 --> 00:10:30,261
[mariah t.] hey, stinkers.
You ready? [laughs]
280
00:10:32,733 --> 00:10:34,132
bro and poppy
were brought to us
281
00:10:34,234 --> 00:10:36,868
after a hurricane.
Their owners surrendered
282
00:10:36,970 --> 00:10:39,237
the two of them, their mom,
and another little girl
283
00:10:39,339 --> 00:10:41,306
that actually ended up getting
a home already as well.
284
00:10:41,408 --> 00:10:44,142
Even though
these two are siblings
285
00:10:44,244 --> 00:10:45,777
and they look a lot alike,
286
00:10:45,879 --> 00:10:48,179
obviously their personalities
aren't fully developed,
287
00:10:48,281 --> 00:10:49,848
but we're already starting
to see the difference
288
00:10:49,950 --> 00:10:52,684
between them.
Poppy's a lot more outgoing.
289
00:10:52,786 --> 00:10:54,653
And I know bro,
he's a little bit more
290
00:10:54,755 --> 00:10:55,854
of a cuddle bug.
291
00:10:55,956 --> 00:10:57,522
Are you sure
we can't have two?
292
00:10:58,859 --> 00:11:00,225
I know you're gonna twitch
my arm about this.
293
00:11:00,327 --> 00:11:01,226
[nikkie laughs]
294
00:11:01,328 --> 00:11:03,228
okay. Hang on.
295
00:11:04,998 --> 00:11:06,264
Oh, my goodness.
296
00:11:06,366 --> 00:11:08,199
Look at how cute they are.
297
00:11:08,301 --> 00:11:09,934
[fitz] I saw mariah walk in
with these two dogs.
298
00:11:10,037 --> 00:11:11,769
I mean, there is...
What's not to love?
299
00:11:11,838 --> 00:11:12,837
You know, both of them...
I mean,
300
00:11:12,939 --> 00:11:14,372
they almost look identical.
301
00:11:14,474 --> 00:11:17,008
This one's poppy
and then this one's bro.
302
00:11:17,110 --> 00:11:19,077
[teaghan] hello, poppy.
[chuckling]
303
00:11:19,179 --> 00:11:21,413
-[nikkie] hello.
-[teaghan] no way.
304
00:11:21,515 --> 00:11:22,847
-What do you think?
-[fitz] oh, goodness.
305
00:11:22,949 --> 00:11:24,215
-Look at you.
-[nikkie] oh, my goodness.
306
00:11:24,317 --> 00:11:26,084
-[teaghan] come here.
-[fitz] you're already
off to the races.
307
00:11:26,186 --> 00:11:27,686
[mariah t.] poppy.
[makes sound]
308
00:11:27,788 --> 00:11:28,787
good.
309
00:11:29,956 --> 00:11:32,290
-Already in the laps.
-[fitz] yeah.
310
00:11:32,392 --> 00:11:34,492
[teaghan] I like bro
because he's cute
311
00:11:34,594 --> 00:11:36,394
and he's also cuddly.
312
00:11:36,496 --> 00:11:38,163
And I also like poppy.
313
00:11:38,265 --> 00:11:41,132
He is kind of also goofy.
Same with bro.
314
00:11:41,234 --> 00:11:43,168
And I actually really,
really like that.
315
00:11:43,270 --> 00:11:45,036
-You got the cuddler.
-[fitz] hi, buddy.
316
00:11:46,373 --> 00:11:48,406
Is he doing
patty-cake already?
317
00:11:50,043 --> 00:11:51,476
[mariah t.]
what do you think?
318
00:11:51,578 --> 00:11:53,478
Remington wasn't as small
when you got him was he?
319
00:11:53,580 --> 00:11:56,081
-[fitz] no.
-It was love at first sight.
320
00:11:56,183 --> 00:11:58,583
They're both
just simply adorable.
321
00:11:58,685 --> 00:12:00,251
Can I see you?
322
00:12:01,288 --> 00:12:03,254
If I could take both puppies,
323
00:12:03,356 --> 00:12:05,090
I definitely would,
but I think fitz
324
00:12:05,192 --> 00:12:07,525
would not allow me
to have three puppies
325
00:12:07,627 --> 00:12:09,661
all under the age
of one in the house.
326
00:12:09,763 --> 00:12:11,296
[mariah t.] what do you guys
think so far?
327
00:12:11,398 --> 00:12:12,297
[nikkie] which one
do you like?
328
00:12:12,399 --> 00:12:14,232
[mariah t.] can you tell
the difference?
329
00:12:14,334 --> 00:12:15,900
Kind of hard to picking
between these two
330
00:12:16,002 --> 00:12:17,368
'cause they're both
really sweet
331
00:12:17,471 --> 00:12:18,903
and their personalities
are similar right now
332
00:12:19,005 --> 00:12:20,972
but their personalities
will change, obviously.
333
00:12:21,074 --> 00:12:22,307
And you're not gonna
see that.
334
00:12:22,409 --> 00:12:24,809
And so you guys just flip
a coin pretty much and...
335
00:12:24,911 --> 00:12:26,077
-[fitz] yeah.
-...Kind of whoever
336
00:12:26,179 --> 00:12:27,045
you connect with.
337
00:12:27,147 --> 00:12:28,413
Come here.
338
00:12:29,783 --> 00:12:31,683
-Oh, look.
-[mariah t.] yeah,
by the time we bring
339
00:12:31,785 --> 00:12:34,152
whichever one to you all,
we'll be able...
340
00:12:34,254 --> 00:12:35,820
Then we can do the insurance
with the puppies
341
00:12:35,922 --> 00:12:38,123
and they can have a ball
in the backyard.
342
00:12:39,392 --> 00:12:40,925
That's why I wanna know
what the dad looks like
343
00:12:41,027 --> 00:12:43,661
because the mom is just like
a short little pit bull.
344
00:12:43,764 --> 00:12:45,063
They're...
They definitely have some
345
00:12:45,165 --> 00:12:46,865
goofy helms, something.
346
00:12:46,967 --> 00:12:48,700
I mean, those ears are giant.
347
00:12:48,802 --> 00:12:51,736
They both just flop.
Like go run around and play
348
00:12:51,838 --> 00:12:53,304
but they're so down
to cuddle.
349
00:12:53,406 --> 00:12:56,241
-[nikkie] they're so cute.
-What do you guys think?
350
00:12:56,343 --> 00:12:58,510
Do you guys... Can you guys
tell them apart yet?
351
00:12:58,612 --> 00:13:00,812
-[teaghan] no.
-[mariah t.] no?
352
00:13:00,914 --> 00:13:04,249
[nikkie] bro is just
absolutely stinking adorable.
353
00:13:04,351 --> 00:13:06,885
Down to his little stripe
on his nose
354
00:13:06,987 --> 00:13:09,921
and just his cute little
cuddly puppy-ness.
355
00:13:10,023 --> 00:13:11,156
He's just perfect.
356
00:13:13,693 --> 00:13:15,493
No, no.
I think bro.
357
00:13:15,595 --> 00:13:17,929
[mariah t.] yeah?
Is that him?
358
00:13:18,031 --> 00:13:19,364
I think so.
359
00:13:19,466 --> 00:13:20,665
-[mariah t.]
what do you think?
-I think so.
360
00:13:20,767 --> 00:13:22,534
-[mariah t.] yeah.
-[teaghan] we chose bro.
361
00:13:22,636 --> 00:13:24,602
-Yes.
-We're gonna show him
362
00:13:24,704 --> 00:13:26,037
the dining room.
363
00:13:26,139 --> 00:13:29,207
He'll go see the backyard.
364
00:13:29,309 --> 00:13:31,009
[delaney] dad's office.
365
00:13:31,111 --> 00:13:33,611
No. Not dad's office.
366
00:13:33,713 --> 00:13:35,213
[mariah t.] okay.
I'll put them up.
367
00:13:35,315 --> 00:13:36,514
Well, do you wanna say bye
to your new
368
00:13:36,616 --> 00:13:38,850
little brother then?
369
00:13:38,952 --> 00:13:40,084
Bye, bro.
370
00:13:40,187 --> 00:13:41,586
But you can't take him
home yet.
371
00:13:41,688 --> 00:13:43,588
-[nikkie] yeah, you can't...
-[laughter]
372
00:13:43,690 --> 00:13:44,856
-yeah.
-[mariah t.] but soon.
373
00:13:44,958 --> 00:13:45,990
-Once he gets his...
-Hold your roll.
374
00:13:46,092 --> 00:13:47,158
[mariah t.] once he get
his next shot
375
00:13:47,260 --> 00:13:48,860
then you can cuddle them
all you want.
376
00:13:48,962 --> 00:13:50,695
[fitz] I'm thrilled
with the choice
377
00:13:50,797 --> 00:13:52,363
to bring bro
into our life.
378
00:13:52,465 --> 00:13:54,065
It really is flipping
a new chapter.
379
00:13:54,167 --> 00:13:55,600
You know, we can be
a solid home
380
00:13:55,702 --> 00:13:57,368
with full stability,
381
00:13:57,470 --> 00:13:59,737
and ultimately both dogs,
remington and bro,
382
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,773
we entered their life
at the right time
383
00:14:01,875 --> 00:14:03,074
and they entered ours
at the right time.
384
00:14:03,176 --> 00:14:04,776
[mariah t.] all right.
I'll see you guys in a month.
385
00:14:04,878 --> 00:14:06,144
[nikkie] all right.
Sounds great.
386
00:14:06,246 --> 00:14:07,278
[mariah t.] all right.
Bye, guys.
387
00:14:07,380 --> 00:14:08,446
Have a safe trip.
Great to meet you.
388
00:14:08,548 --> 00:14:09,848
So at this point,
what does need to happen
389
00:14:09,950 --> 00:14:12,283
is bro being socialized
with other dogs
390
00:14:12,385 --> 00:14:14,185
so that he is comfortable
with them
391
00:14:14,287 --> 00:14:16,688
and not overwhelmed
by meeting new dogs.
392
00:14:16,790 --> 00:14:18,156
[nikkie]
aren't they adorable?
393
00:14:18,258 --> 00:14:19,891
[fitz] they are.
394
00:14:22,762 --> 00:14:25,763
[country music playing]
395
00:14:37,043 --> 00:14:40,712
[tia] so I just got involved
in the craziest story.
396
00:14:40,814 --> 00:14:42,280
An animal shelter
in east texas...
397
00:14:42,382 --> 00:14:44,048
-Uh-huh?
-...Called us.
398
00:14:44,150 --> 00:14:45,817
They have a dog in there
399
00:14:47,621 --> 00:14:49,520
that they picked up
400
00:14:49,623 --> 00:14:52,724
along the side
of some desolate road.
401
00:14:52,826 --> 00:14:54,359
It was dumped along
the side of the road
402
00:14:54,461 --> 00:14:56,494
in texas
in a fallen down crate.
403
00:14:56,596 --> 00:14:58,196
Actually, it was two of them.
Two dogs.
404
00:14:58,298 --> 00:15:00,031
-[tania] that's really sad.
-[tia] like so sad-looking.
405
00:15:00,133 --> 00:15:02,333
And it was just...
They were just dumped.
406
00:15:02,435 --> 00:15:05,637
So they brought
the dogs back to the shelter
407
00:15:05,739 --> 00:15:06,905
and they scanned
one of the dogs.
408
00:15:07,007 --> 00:15:08,573
[tania] uh-huh.
409
00:15:08,675 --> 00:15:11,542
And the chip came back to us.
410
00:15:15,615 --> 00:15:17,515
[mariah t.] hi.
How you doing?
411
00:15:17,617 --> 00:15:20,685
The location that
our main warehouse is at,
412
00:15:20,787 --> 00:15:22,887
the flooding has just gotten
so out of control
413
00:15:22,989 --> 00:15:24,856
that it's not
even manageable anymore.
414
00:15:24,958 --> 00:15:27,959
[mariah t. Speaking]
415
00:15:33,366 --> 00:15:34,365
[suspenseful music playing]
416
00:15:34,467 --> 00:15:36,834
[tia] they brought
the dogs back to the shelter
417
00:15:36,937 --> 00:15:38,002
and they scanned
one of the dogs.
418
00:15:38,104 --> 00:15:39,203
Uh-huh?
419
00:15:39,306 --> 00:15:42,206
And the chip
came back to us.
420
00:15:43,410 --> 00:15:45,777
[tania] it's terrible
to hear that
421
00:15:45,879 --> 00:15:47,879
one of our dogs
that we adopted out
422
00:15:48,014 --> 00:15:50,315
was found just abandoned
on side of the street,
423
00:15:50,417 --> 00:15:53,651
you know, no man's land
like texas.
424
00:15:53,753 --> 00:15:54,953
It was actually
really shocking to hear.
425
00:15:55,055 --> 00:15:57,422
At least, in how these
are like immediately
426
00:15:57,524 --> 00:15:59,057
going into the system,
trying to find out
427
00:15:59,159 --> 00:16:00,692
-which dog it could be.
-Yeah.
428
00:16:00,794 --> 00:16:03,194
And it wasn't showing up
in our database.
429
00:16:03,296 --> 00:16:05,663
I'm like, "it has to be."
and there was no like
430
00:16:05,765 --> 00:16:07,532
reference to the dog's name,
nothing.
431
00:16:07,634 --> 00:16:08,700
We had no idea.
432
00:16:08,802 --> 00:16:11,269
I said send me
the microchip number.
433
00:16:11,371 --> 00:16:13,338
And they sent it to me,
and right away, I went,
434
00:16:14,874 --> 00:16:16,441
"that's an avid chip."
435
00:16:16,543 --> 00:16:17,875
I can tell
by the number format.
436
00:16:17,978 --> 00:16:20,578
-Yeah.
-And like, "the last time
we had avid chips
437
00:16:20,647 --> 00:16:21,913
was when we lived
in california."
438
00:16:22,015 --> 00:16:23,247
what?
439
00:16:23,350 --> 00:16:25,583
So then like the mystery
started like unraveling,
440
00:16:25,685 --> 00:16:27,952
-"okay, hold on a second."
-who could it be?
441
00:16:28,054 --> 00:16:30,321
-So I had them call avid...
-Yeah.
442
00:16:30,423 --> 00:16:32,256
[tia] ...To follow like
the paper trail.
443
00:16:32,359 --> 00:16:34,225
They found it further down
on the record
444
00:16:34,327 --> 00:16:37,028
of this chip that it was...
445
00:16:37,130 --> 00:16:39,998
Adopted out to a woman
named kelly
446
00:16:40,100 --> 00:16:41,232
that we were the secondary
447
00:16:41,334 --> 00:16:42,500
which is why
they were calling us.
448
00:16:42,602 --> 00:16:44,402
-Oh.
-[tia]
she wasn't in our system
449
00:16:44,504 --> 00:16:47,338
because all my records
at the time
450
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,208
in california,
everything was on paper.
451
00:16:50,310 --> 00:16:53,177
And we were only in louisiana
for a matter of months
452
00:16:53,279 --> 00:16:55,146
before hurricane isaac hit,
453
00:16:55,248 --> 00:16:56,881
flooded our warehouse,
454
00:16:56,983 --> 00:16:58,483
and lost all of our records.
455
00:16:58,585 --> 00:17:00,718
And he goes, "I've been
trying to call you
456
00:17:00,820 --> 00:17:02,487
-at a 661 number."
-whoa.
457
00:17:02,589 --> 00:17:03,788
[tia] I'm like, "okay."
then for sure,
458
00:17:03,890 --> 00:17:05,623
I'm like, "okay, this is
definitely a california dog."
459
00:17:05,725 --> 00:17:07,759
-yeah.
-[tia] it was our dog,
460
00:17:07,861 --> 00:17:10,328
but it was time to figure out
which dog was it.
461
00:17:10,430 --> 00:17:13,031
We knew the dog at least have
to be 10 years old.
462
00:17:13,133 --> 00:17:16,200
We tracked it down
and realized that this dog
463
00:17:16,302 --> 00:17:17,702
was the original dog
that we had.
464
00:17:17,804 --> 00:17:18,903
It's a little puppy
named nina.
465
00:17:19,005 --> 00:17:20,705
-[tania gasps]
-that's how little?
466
00:17:20,807 --> 00:17:22,540
Yeah.
467
00:17:22,642 --> 00:17:24,709
-[tania] holy crap.
-[tia] it's nina.
468
00:17:24,811 --> 00:17:26,377
-[tania] wow.
-[tia] mmm-hmm.
469
00:17:27,414 --> 00:17:29,580
-I know. Like...
-[tania] yeah, that's...
470
00:17:29,682 --> 00:17:30,715
Kind of hit
your heart, right?
471
00:17:30,817 --> 00:17:32,083
It's really freaking sad.
472
00:17:33,987 --> 00:17:35,720
[tia] yeah, I would have to
say this is one of the most
473
00:17:35,822 --> 00:17:38,890
like crazy stories
we've ever had.
474
00:17:38,992 --> 00:17:39,991
Yeah.
475
00:17:40,093 --> 00:17:41,292
Chips, man. They... Oh.
476
00:17:41,394 --> 00:17:43,027
-I know. I know.
-[tia] life savers.
477
00:17:43,129 --> 00:17:45,797
So, anyways,
it's a small little shelter.
478
00:17:45,899 --> 00:17:48,132
The people are just like
so thankful.
479
00:17:48,234 --> 00:17:49,934
I told them there was no way
we could leave
480
00:17:50,036 --> 00:17:51,602
the other dog behind
because even though
481
00:17:51,704 --> 00:17:53,337
-that's not one of our dogs.
-Yeah.
482
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,106
So if you wanted
to go, you know...
483
00:17:55,208 --> 00:17:56,674
-[tania] yeah.
-...Pick them up and I can...
484
00:17:56,776 --> 00:17:58,776
-Yeah. That's fine with me.
-[tia] okay.
485
00:17:58,878 --> 00:18:00,178
[tania] my mom always says,
you know,
486
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,281
once a villalobos dog
always a villalobos dog.
487
00:18:03,383 --> 00:18:05,450
And I definitely stand
by that.
488
00:18:05,552 --> 00:18:09,387
I mean, we will go
to any lengths to,
489
00:18:09,489 --> 00:18:11,722
you know,
save one of our dogs
490
00:18:11,825 --> 00:18:13,124
as many times as we have to.
491
00:18:16,262 --> 00:18:19,263
[country music playing]
492
00:18:22,969 --> 00:18:24,235
[mariah] babe,
you wanna help me start
493
00:18:24,337 --> 00:18:25,536
putting away
some of these baby stuff?
494
00:18:25,638 --> 00:18:26,871
[kanani] yeah,
but I don't know if all
495
00:18:26,973 --> 00:18:29,107
that baby stuff is gonna fit
in there though.
496
00:18:29,209 --> 00:18:31,042
Probably should have
gotten a bigger room.
497
00:18:31,144 --> 00:18:33,444
[mariah] yeah, 'cause we can
just make her room bigger?
498
00:18:33,546 --> 00:18:36,047
Mind if I knock down
a couple of walls, yeah?
499
00:18:36,149 --> 00:18:38,549
Let's just go through
some of these stuff.
500
00:18:38,651 --> 00:18:40,785
So we have about
five weeks left
501
00:18:40,887 --> 00:18:43,421
of the pregnancy,
so we are getting really close
502
00:18:43,523 --> 00:18:44,922
to the end and really close
503
00:18:45,024 --> 00:18:47,091
to meeting
our new little girl.
504
00:18:48,194 --> 00:18:51,229
The baby shower
was really great.
505
00:18:51,331 --> 00:18:53,064
Actually,
it was pretty perfect.
506
00:18:53,166 --> 00:18:56,667
-[woman] ooh, pretty.
-[laughter]
507
00:18:56,769 --> 00:18:59,137
[mariah] my sister-in-law
lizzy, and tania,
508
00:18:59,239 --> 00:19:00,905
and mariah
kind of set it up.
509
00:19:01,007 --> 00:19:02,240
It was super cute.
510
00:19:02,342 --> 00:19:03,774
They did the theme
of the nursery
511
00:19:03,877 --> 00:19:05,643
which was llamas
and cactuses
512
00:19:05,745 --> 00:19:07,445
which I'm obsessed with.
513
00:19:07,547 --> 00:19:08,946
It just made me feel
really special
514
00:19:09,048 --> 00:19:10,615
and really supported.
515
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,019
That's to put
the stinky diapers in.
516
00:19:15,121 --> 00:19:17,255
-You know what you're doing?
-[kanani] nope.
517
00:19:17,357 --> 00:19:18,990
[mariah] I think those things
set on top
518
00:19:19,092 --> 00:19:20,458
and they come out.
519
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,360
How big do you think
her diapers are gonna be?
520
00:19:22,462 --> 00:19:23,861
[kanani] I don't know.
I can always assume.
521
00:19:23,963 --> 00:19:25,696
Remember, you used
to change luke all the time.
522
00:19:25,798 --> 00:19:27,765
-We were... It's pretty good.
-Yeah, but I didn't
have a fancy...
523
00:19:27,867 --> 00:19:29,534
A fancy diaper holder.
524
00:19:29,636 --> 00:19:31,536
Oh, look, you can do
the diaper warmer, babe.
525
00:19:31,638 --> 00:19:33,771
See, I didn't have one
of these either for luke.
526
00:19:33,873 --> 00:19:35,106
[laughs] I have
all these fancy stuff.
527
00:19:35,208 --> 00:19:37,108
What's it for?
It does what?
528
00:19:37,210 --> 00:19:40,278
[mariah] you put the wipes
in it and it warms the wipes.
529
00:19:40,380 --> 00:19:43,181
When I had luke,
I definitely didn't
530
00:19:43,283 --> 00:19:45,149
get all the high-tech stuff.
531
00:19:45,251 --> 00:19:46,817
I was also a single mom
for luke,
532
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,953
so it was like,
"what do I actually need?"
533
00:19:49,055 --> 00:19:51,489
you wanna take out
her little monitor
534
00:19:51,591 --> 00:19:53,591
-and set the monitor up?
-[kanani] ooh.
535
00:19:53,726 --> 00:19:55,293
[mariah] that bottom part,
you can like wrap it
536
00:19:55,395 --> 00:19:57,628
around stuff.
It bend... It's bendy.
537
00:19:57,730 --> 00:19:58,996
-[kanani] is this...
-Like I can...
538
00:19:59,098 --> 00:20:00,498
We can wrap it
around her crib.
539
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,867
So this pregnancy,
you know, I think a lot
540
00:20:02,969 --> 00:20:04,769
of our family and friends
have really spoiled us
541
00:20:04,871 --> 00:20:06,437
and supported us a lot.
542
00:20:06,539 --> 00:20:08,506
Like, this is for her
little bottles.
543
00:20:08,608 --> 00:20:10,575
-[chuckles]
-[mariah] like,
clean the bottles.
544
00:20:10,677 --> 00:20:12,476
Look how cute
this little cactus is.
545
00:20:12,579 --> 00:20:13,911
It's really
different having
546
00:20:14,013 --> 00:20:15,513
all these different things.
It's kind of...
547
00:20:15,615 --> 00:20:16,914
It's kind of exciting,
you know,
548
00:20:17,016 --> 00:20:19,016
to use all these things
that a lot of people use
549
00:20:19,118 --> 00:20:20,451
all the time
I just never had.
550
00:20:20,553 --> 00:20:22,520
Oh, my god.
Remember these?
551
00:20:22,622 --> 00:20:26,357
Mariah got us these.
[chuckles]
552
00:20:26,492 --> 00:20:28,226
I can't wait
for her to wear these.
553
00:20:28,328 --> 00:20:30,494
Look how cute this is.
554
00:20:30,630 --> 00:20:32,663
So cute.
555
00:20:32,765 --> 00:20:34,365
So weird having
all the girl stuff
556
00:20:34,467 --> 00:20:35,433
'cause I'm just so used
557
00:20:35,535 --> 00:20:37,235
to always having
boy stuff around.
558
00:20:37,337 --> 00:20:39,237
Like, I like didn't think
I would be into all
559
00:20:39,339 --> 00:20:42,006
the girly clothes,
but like I kind of am.
560
00:20:42,108 --> 00:20:44,108
I'm definitely
not the girly girl.
561
00:20:44,210 --> 00:20:46,711
I'm more of a tomboy
country girl.
562
00:20:46,813 --> 00:20:50,248
But having all the pink
and all the girly stuff,
563
00:20:50,350 --> 00:20:52,116
it's actually been
really fun for me,
564
00:20:52,218 --> 00:20:53,618
and it's kind of brought out
565
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,386
a different side of me,
I guess.
566
00:20:55,488 --> 00:20:57,021
We have a doctor's
appointment tomorrow.
567
00:20:57,123 --> 00:20:58,889
And now it's gonna be
every week.
568
00:20:58,992 --> 00:21:00,491
-[mariah speaking]
-yeah.
569
00:21:00,593 --> 00:21:02,093
[mariah speaking]
570
00:21:02,195 --> 00:21:03,894
and I'm still working
fulltime but it's like
571
00:21:03,997 --> 00:21:07,365
getting harder every day.
Like, my feet get more sore.
572
00:21:07,467 --> 00:21:08,566
It's helped a lot though,
573
00:21:08,668 --> 00:21:10,034
having you
help with the dogs.
574
00:21:10,136 --> 00:21:12,970
Like, do the dogs
more than me.
575
00:21:13,072 --> 00:21:13,904
You know what I mean?
576
00:21:14,007 --> 00:21:15,306
I couldn't ask
for a better husband.
577
00:21:15,408 --> 00:21:17,341
He's super supportive.
578
00:21:17,443 --> 00:21:20,444
You know, without even me
having to ask, he does a lot,
579
00:21:20,546 --> 00:21:23,447
which helps because I'm not
much of a asking person.
580
00:21:23,549 --> 00:21:25,216
I'll just do it and struggle.
581
00:21:25,318 --> 00:21:26,784
It's been nice having him.
582
00:21:26,886 --> 00:21:28,586
I'll probably finish
putting some of this stuff up
583
00:21:28,688 --> 00:21:30,087
-if you wanna...
-[kanani] okay.
584
00:21:30,189 --> 00:21:31,322
...You wanna let
the dogs out.
585
00:21:31,424 --> 00:21:32,923
Sure. Absolutely.
586
00:21:33,026 --> 00:21:34,792
I'm just not supposed
to be lifting anything,
587
00:21:34,894 --> 00:21:36,927
even though I like still
catch myself at work,
588
00:21:37,030 --> 00:21:38,396
you know,
just wanting to do it
589
00:21:38,498 --> 00:21:40,865
'cause you forget
that you can't do it.
590
00:21:40,967 --> 00:21:43,134
And then I like hurt myself
or I get sore.
591
00:21:43,236 --> 00:21:45,002
-[kanani] yeah.
-[mariah] I'm anxious
592
00:21:45,104 --> 00:21:48,105
to meet her and actually
get to see her face,
593
00:21:48,207 --> 00:21:51,208
and just be able to hold her,
and I'm really anxious
594
00:21:51,311 --> 00:21:54,679
to kind of just be done
with this pregnancy.
595
00:21:54,781 --> 00:21:56,147
It could be the anticipation.
596
00:21:56,249 --> 00:21:58,649
It could be the soreness
that gets worse.
597
00:21:58,751 --> 00:22:00,518
But I'm definitely ready.
I'm ready to meet her
598
00:22:00,620 --> 00:22:03,454
and ready to have her
here in my arms.
599
00:22:03,556 --> 00:22:04,588
[kanani] all right.
600
00:22:09,762 --> 00:22:12,763
[upbeat music playing]
601
00:22:16,869 --> 00:22:19,704
[mariah t.] the location
that our main warehouse is at,
602
00:22:19,806 --> 00:22:21,105
I feel like it barely
sprinkles
603
00:22:21,207 --> 00:22:24,175
and we're pulling dogs
out of different areas.
604
00:22:24,277 --> 00:22:26,210
The flooding just gotten
so under control
605
00:22:26,312 --> 00:22:28,245
that it's not
even manageable anymore.
606
00:22:28,348 --> 00:22:30,715
This whole warehouse
just needs a face lift.
607
00:22:30,817 --> 00:22:33,250
It's been years,
and it's gotten beat up
608
00:22:33,353 --> 00:22:35,553
from pigeons and storms.
609
00:22:37,924 --> 00:22:39,323
Along with redoing
these kennels,
610
00:22:39,425 --> 00:22:43,027
we really need to address
and show some tlc
611
00:22:43,129 --> 00:22:45,229
to this roof
'cause it leaks pretty bad.
612
00:22:45,331 --> 00:22:47,031
-Hi. How are you doing?
-[paul] all right.
613
00:22:47,133 --> 00:22:48,132
-How are you?
-[mariah t.] I'm mariah.
614
00:22:48,234 --> 00:22:49,467
-Nice to meet you.
-I'm paul.
615
00:22:49,569 --> 00:22:52,403
My brothers handle everything
at this rescue
616
00:22:52,505 --> 00:22:54,238
but they have done
so much work on this
617
00:22:54,340 --> 00:22:57,208
and I think it's time
to bring in someone
618
00:22:57,310 --> 00:23:00,745
that specializes
in doing roofs.
619
00:23:00,847 --> 00:23:02,146
Did I close that?
620
00:23:02,248 --> 00:23:05,249
I know doing roof stuff
is really expensive
621
00:23:05,351 --> 00:23:06,784
but it has to be done.
622
00:23:06,886 --> 00:23:08,686
Every time it rains,
I have to move
623
00:23:08,788 --> 00:23:10,054
all of the dogs
from right here,
624
00:23:10,156 --> 00:23:12,156
and it puts so much strain
on the dogs
625
00:23:12,258 --> 00:23:14,725
and my employees, so...
626
00:23:14,827 --> 00:23:16,026
[dogs barking]
627
00:23:16,129 --> 00:23:19,130
[mariah t. Speaking]
628
00:23:21,834 --> 00:23:24,902
[mariah t.] there is a huge
section that is so rusted,
629
00:23:25,004 --> 00:23:26,871
I can literally see outside.
630
00:23:26,973 --> 00:23:28,038
When we've tried
to climb up there,
631
00:23:28,141 --> 00:23:29,306
it just
starts disintegrating,
632
00:23:29,409 --> 00:23:31,142
so it's also really unsafe
633
00:23:31,244 --> 00:23:33,177
and something
has to be done about it.
634
00:23:33,279 --> 00:23:35,846
There's parts like roof
that I can just like patch.
635
00:23:35,948 --> 00:23:36,814
-Right.
-Over here,
636
00:23:36,916 --> 00:23:37,848
-that's not possible.
-Right.
637
00:23:37,950 --> 00:23:39,383
It's so rusted.
638
00:23:39,485 --> 00:23:41,419
Um, do you need to get
up there and look at it?
639
00:23:41,521 --> 00:23:42,420
-How do you go about this?
-Yeah.
640
00:23:42,522 --> 00:23:43,854
I like to get up there
and take a look...
641
00:23:43,956 --> 00:23:44,855
-A better look at it but...
-Okay.
642
00:23:44,957 --> 00:23:46,157
Let me move
some of the stuff.
643
00:23:46,259 --> 00:23:47,525
...I've seen the bulk of what
your problem is right there,
644
00:23:47,627 --> 00:23:48,759
-so, I mean...
-And then if you need...
645
00:23:48,861 --> 00:23:50,161
[paul] yeah, I'm just
gonna get my ladder
646
00:23:50,263 --> 00:23:51,929
-and walk up here right quick.
-Okay.
647
00:23:52,031 --> 00:23:53,597
If we're gonna be putting
new kennels in the warehouse,
648
00:23:53,699 --> 00:23:55,399
it's silly
to not get the roof fixed.
649
00:23:55,468 --> 00:23:57,768
If it's gonna be leaking,
you don't want to add
650
00:23:57,870 --> 00:24:00,671
even more wear and tear
to these new kennels.
651
00:24:00,773 --> 00:24:02,339
All right.
652
00:24:02,442 --> 00:24:03,641
I got pretty much
what I need.
653
00:24:03,743 --> 00:24:05,810
Okay.
So if you want to, I guess,
654
00:24:05,912 --> 00:24:07,711
just figure out your estimate
655
00:24:07,814 --> 00:24:09,613
-and send it to me, um...
-Let's see.
656
00:24:09,715 --> 00:24:11,649
You say from the kennel
with all that rust?
657
00:24:11,751 --> 00:24:13,250
Let's go at least 10 feet
on each side of that,
658
00:24:13,352 --> 00:24:15,219
-20-foot width...
-Yeah. Okay.
659
00:24:15,321 --> 00:24:16,620
...From the bottom up.
660
00:24:16,722 --> 00:24:18,222
If I got used sheets
at my shop,
661
00:24:18,324 --> 00:24:19,423
-I'll put them in there...
-Okay. Perfect.
662
00:24:19,525 --> 00:24:20,724
...And I can give you
a real good deal.
663
00:24:20,827 --> 00:24:21,892
I won't be mad.
664
00:24:21,994 --> 00:24:23,360
I mean, all of these expenses
add up
665
00:24:23,463 --> 00:24:25,729
very, very, very quickly
from materials
666
00:24:25,832 --> 00:24:28,699
to paying experts to come in
and, you know, workers.
667
00:24:28,801 --> 00:24:30,634
[paul] yeah, I'm glad
you were able to get this done
668
00:24:30,736 --> 00:24:32,069
a little sooner
'cause at a loss for words.
669
00:24:32,171 --> 00:24:33,537
[mariah t.] yeah. That's...
I'm trying to like
670
00:24:33,639 --> 00:24:35,105
before hurricane season
gets bad.
671
00:24:35,208 --> 00:24:37,908
But my mom won't start
a project like this
672
00:24:38,010 --> 00:24:39,543
if she doesn't
already have some plan
673
00:24:39,645 --> 00:24:41,245
in the back of her head.
We may not know it
674
00:24:41,347 --> 00:24:42,746
but she wouldn't start it
675
00:24:42,849 --> 00:24:44,582
if she didn't have a way
to raise the money
676
00:24:44,684 --> 00:24:45,983
to get all these done.
677
00:24:51,123 --> 00:24:54,124
[upbeat music playing]
678
00:25:00,566 --> 00:25:02,633
[tia] look at this freaking
cages these trucks have, man.
679
00:25:02,735 --> 00:25:04,168
-[tania] I know.
-[tia] like, what the hell
680
00:25:04,270 --> 00:25:06,403
do they rescue out here?
681
00:25:06,506 --> 00:25:09,139
These two dogs
were actually found dumped
682
00:25:09,208 --> 00:25:12,977
along the side of a very
rural road in texas.
683
00:25:13,079 --> 00:25:14,812
This is a very nice
animal shelter.
684
00:25:14,914 --> 00:25:17,748
We were informed
that one of the dog's
685
00:25:17,850 --> 00:25:20,618
microchipped back to us.
686
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,787
That's when it became a whole
different kind of rescue.
687
00:25:25,157 --> 00:25:26,924
-[tania] hello.
-[charity] hi.
688
00:25:27,026 --> 00:25:29,260
-[man] welcome. Hello.
-[charity] welcome.
689
00:25:29,362 --> 00:25:31,295
-How are you all?
-[tia] good.
690
00:25:31,397 --> 00:25:33,797
So who's the one
that found the dogs?
691
00:25:33,900 --> 00:25:35,432
-Oh, you did?
-[charity] dino.
692
00:25:35,535 --> 00:25:38,536
-This is... This is dino.
-[dino speaking]
693
00:25:49,916 --> 00:25:51,115
-[tania] wow.
-Like, what road?
694
00:25:51,217 --> 00:25:52,516
Like, in the middle
of nowhere kind of thing?
695
00:25:52,618 --> 00:25:53,417
-It's off of the...
-Yes.
696
00:25:53,519 --> 00:25:55,486
[dino speaking]
697
00:25:55,588 --> 00:25:58,188
-[tia] mmm-hmm.
-[dino speaking]
698
00:25:58,291 --> 00:25:59,290
wow.
699
00:26:00,626 --> 00:26:01,825
[dino] the condition
they were in
700
00:26:01,928 --> 00:26:03,260
were very emaciated.
701
00:26:03,362 --> 00:26:04,528
Very, very skinny.
702
00:26:04,630 --> 00:26:05,896
They were a little
standoffish at first,
703
00:26:05,998 --> 00:26:08,065
but they came around,
became very friendly.
704
00:26:08,167 --> 00:26:10,367
But, uh, yeah,
I could tell that they...
705
00:26:10,469 --> 00:26:11,869
They've been through
a rough time.
706
00:26:11,971 --> 00:26:13,437
[tia] I mean, of course,
the million-dollar question
707
00:26:13,539 --> 00:26:15,272
is like, "why didn't you just
bring them to the shelter?"
708
00:26:15,374 --> 00:26:18,008
-[charity] I know. I know.
-Yeah. Why?
709
00:26:18,110 --> 00:26:19,710
[charity] maybe they were
worried about bringing them
710
00:26:19,812 --> 00:26:21,445
to the shelter
'cause they were so skinny.
711
00:26:21,547 --> 00:26:22,846
-Yeah. Maybe.
-[charity] a lot of people,
712
00:26:22,915 --> 00:26:24,281
if they're that malnourished,
they're worried
713
00:26:24,383 --> 00:26:26,116
-they're gonna get in trouble.
-[tia] yeah.
714
00:26:26,218 --> 00:26:28,218
It's hard getting that visual
out of your head, you know?
715
00:26:28,321 --> 00:26:30,888
Like, seeing the pictures
of them, just...
716
00:26:30,957 --> 00:26:32,890
I mean, you think...
717
00:26:32,992 --> 00:26:34,391
[tia sighs]
I don't wanna get emotional.
718
00:26:34,493 --> 00:26:35,693
What were they thinking
when the person
719
00:26:35,795 --> 00:26:38,395
dropped them off
and drove off?
720
00:26:38,497 --> 00:26:39,563
Just left them there.
721
00:26:39,665 --> 00:26:40,864
Like,
what were they thinking?
722
00:26:40,967 --> 00:26:43,100
Like, how long
were they out there?
723
00:26:43,202 --> 00:26:46,036
How many cars passed by
and didn't even stop?
724
00:26:46,138 --> 00:26:49,340
But, you know, they're safe.
725
00:26:49,442 --> 00:26:51,041
That's...
It's all that matters.
726
00:26:51,143 --> 00:26:52,610
You know, even though
the other dog is not ours,
727
00:26:52,712 --> 00:26:53,978
we're not
gonna leave her behind.
728
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:55,279
-I mean, you know...
-[charity] yes.
729
00:26:55,381 --> 00:26:56,914
-We appreciate that.
-[dino] they love each other.
730
00:26:57,016 --> 00:26:58,282
-[tia] do they?
-[dino] they love each other.
731
00:26:58,384 --> 00:26:59,617
[charity] they do love
each other, yes.
732
00:26:59,752 --> 00:27:00,851
-So... Yes.
-[dino] yeah.
733
00:27:02,355 --> 00:27:05,689
-Right.
-[dino speaking]
734
00:27:05,791 --> 00:27:08,792
-aw.
-[dino speaking]
735
00:27:10,896 --> 00:27:13,263
aw. Wow. Are they together
in the kennels?
736
00:27:13,366 --> 00:27:14,531
No. They're separate
but we walk them
737
00:27:14,634 --> 00:27:15,666
-several times a day.
-[tia] okay. Yeah.
738
00:27:15,768 --> 00:27:18,002
So they walk them together
and...
739
00:27:18,104 --> 00:27:19,236
[tania] um, okay.
Well, I guess,
740
00:27:19,338 --> 00:27:20,704
we'll go take a look at them.
741
00:27:20,806 --> 00:27:22,640
-Okay.
-Yes, ma'am. Let's do it.
742
00:27:22,742 --> 00:27:24,642
[tania] the kendall county
animal shelter
743
00:27:24,744 --> 00:27:26,810
turned out
to be an amazing place.
744
00:27:26,912 --> 00:27:28,545
A ton of empty kennels.
745
00:27:28,648 --> 00:27:31,715
The dogs were not in any
danger of being euthanized.
746
00:27:31,817 --> 00:27:33,817
But I would never
wanna burden
747
00:27:33,919 --> 00:27:37,121
a public animal shelter
with two pit bulls
748
00:27:37,223 --> 00:27:39,189
when one of them
belongs to us, you know?
749
00:27:39,291 --> 00:27:40,658
Like, "we'll take them.
They're ours.
750
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:41,892
It's our responsibility."
751
00:27:41,994 --> 00:27:43,193
hi, girls.
752
00:27:43,295 --> 00:27:45,429
-[tania] oh, hi.
-[tia] hi.
753
00:27:50,302 --> 00:27:51,535
[mariah t.]
you ready, ginger?
754
00:27:51,637 --> 00:27:52,803
[tia] I'll make sure
these gates are closed.
755
00:27:52,938 --> 00:27:54,571
[mariah t.]
tater's going anywhere fast.
756
00:27:54,674 --> 00:27:56,106
[tia] with not knowing
where these puppies
757
00:27:56,208 --> 00:27:58,075
or any dog that we get in
comes from sometimes,
758
00:27:58,177 --> 00:28:00,477
watching them
and their body language
759
00:28:00,579 --> 00:28:03,180
and the way they react
to other dogs is important.
760
00:28:03,282 --> 00:28:04,615
All right.
I'm gonna let him down.
761
00:28:04,717 --> 00:28:07,317
Is this puppy gonna be scared
of another dog?
762
00:28:07,420 --> 00:28:08,552
Ready?
763
00:28:11,590 --> 00:28:12,956
-[tia] hi, puppies.
-[charity] here's the girls.
764
00:28:13,059 --> 00:28:14,291
[tia] hi, girls.
765
00:28:14,393 --> 00:28:15,726
Oh, hi.
I'll get my mask down.
766
00:28:15,828 --> 00:28:17,094
Hi.
767
00:28:17,196 --> 00:28:18,996
Now, you don't remember
your name is nina?
768
00:28:19,098 --> 00:28:20,431
You're going too.
769
00:28:20,533 --> 00:28:21,532
You're going too.
770
00:28:21,634 --> 00:28:23,500
[tia] yes, mama,
you're going too.
771
00:28:23,602 --> 00:28:25,502
You're going too.
772
00:28:25,604 --> 00:28:27,538
-You're gonna go too.
-Yeah, they are sweet.
773
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:28,572
[charity] yeah,
they're sweet, huh?
774
00:28:28,674 --> 00:28:30,340
[tia] yeah. Nini.
775
00:28:30,443 --> 00:28:32,109
Nini.
776
00:28:32,211 --> 00:28:34,578
Oh, nini.
777
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,280
When I saw
the two dogs, they were...
778
00:28:36,382 --> 00:28:38,415
They were pretty underweight
but then I expected it.
779
00:28:38,517 --> 00:28:40,451
You know, I... I've seen
the pictures already.
780
00:28:40,553 --> 00:28:42,086
[charity] we went ahead
and heartworm-tested them.
781
00:28:42,188 --> 00:28:43,587
They're heartworm negative.
782
00:28:43,689 --> 00:28:46,824
Um, the kennel techs
gave them baths yesterday
783
00:28:46,926 --> 00:28:49,126
and trimmed their nails.
784
00:28:49,228 --> 00:28:50,694
[tia] they cleaned them up
and they gave them
785
00:28:50,796 --> 00:28:52,296
like a little spa day.
786
00:28:52,398 --> 00:28:53,797
I mean,
they looked good otherwise
787
00:28:53,899 --> 00:28:55,232
except for their weight.
788
00:28:55,334 --> 00:28:57,701
[charity] we all give them
their shots and de-wormer.
789
00:28:57,803 --> 00:28:59,403
[man speaking]
790
00:28:59,505 --> 00:29:00,504
[charity]
'cause they have worms.
791
00:29:00,606 --> 00:29:02,072
-[man speaking]
-[tania] okay.
792
00:29:02,174 --> 00:29:04,608
-[tia] reunited.
-[man] yes. It's awesome.
793
00:29:04,710 --> 00:29:06,376
-[tia] we're reunited.
-[charity] yeah, she's a...
794
00:29:06,479 --> 00:29:08,679
-She's a talker.
-[tia] yeah. Reunited.
795
00:29:08,781 --> 00:29:10,514
[charity] she likes
to let you know.
796
00:29:10,616 --> 00:29:11,648
[tia] yeah.
797
00:29:11,751 --> 00:29:13,884
[tania] it's definitely
really crazy to find
798
00:29:13,986 --> 00:29:16,854
one of our dogs
like over a decade later
799
00:29:16,956 --> 00:29:18,322
and in a whole another state.
800
00:29:18,424 --> 00:29:20,557
I mean, we adopt the dog
out in california
801
00:29:20,659 --> 00:29:23,594
and she somehow
made her way to texas.
802
00:29:23,696 --> 00:29:25,996
[tia] come on, baby.
Come on.
803
00:29:26,098 --> 00:29:27,865
[dino] come on, baby. Come on.
804
00:29:27,967 --> 00:29:30,501
-She knows.
-[tia] yeah.
805
00:29:30,603 --> 00:29:33,704
-[charity] there we're go.
-[tia] hi, nini. Hi, nini.
806
00:29:33,806 --> 00:29:35,038
-Hi, nini.
-[chuckling]
807
00:29:35,141 --> 00:29:36,540
-[tia] oh, my goodness.
-[charity] are you okay?
808
00:29:36,675 --> 00:29:38,208
I know you wanna go,
you wanna go.
809
00:29:38,310 --> 00:29:39,943
[dog barks]
810
00:29:40,045 --> 00:29:41,411
[tia] the second dog,
the white dog
811
00:29:41,514 --> 00:29:44,114
with the tan patches
was not a villalobos dog
812
00:29:44,216 --> 00:29:47,885
but there was no way we were
gonna leave her behind.
813
00:29:47,987 --> 00:29:50,988
[man speaking]
814
00:29:51,991 --> 00:29:53,157
[tia] spicy?
815
00:29:53,259 --> 00:29:55,292
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Come on.
816
00:29:55,394 --> 00:29:56,293
[man] there you go.
817
00:29:56,395 --> 00:29:57,427
[tia] let me hold her
down here.
818
00:29:57,530 --> 00:29:59,263
[charity] I'll lead the way,
so that we could...
819
00:29:59,365 --> 00:30:01,665
-[tia] yeah. Okay.
-[charity] bye, guys.
820
00:30:01,767 --> 00:30:02,966
[tia] come on.
821
00:30:03,068 --> 00:30:04,601
[charity] the fact these dogs
were abandoned
822
00:30:04,703 --> 00:30:06,537
on the side of the road
and are now going
823
00:30:06,639 --> 00:30:10,474
to a awesome home,
the best ever,
824
00:30:10,576 --> 00:30:13,610
back home where they belong
is just amazing.
825
00:30:13,712 --> 00:30:15,379
We like to get the message
out there
826
00:30:15,481 --> 00:30:19,283
that microchipping works
and if you microchip,
827
00:30:19,385 --> 00:30:21,185
a lot of times,
people will try
828
00:30:21,287 --> 00:30:23,887
their hardest
to get the dogs home
829
00:30:23,989 --> 00:30:25,355
and in this case it worked.
830
00:30:25,457 --> 00:30:27,624
So, we're very, very excited
that they're going home.
831
00:30:27,726 --> 00:30:29,526
[tia] come on, nini,
come on.
832
00:30:29,628 --> 00:30:31,528
-[dino] load up baby.
-[tia grunts] she goes...
833
00:30:31,630 --> 00:30:33,330
Do I have to do
one of these again?
834
00:30:33,432 --> 00:30:35,232
This one's not gonna end up
on the side of the road,
835
00:30:35,334 --> 00:30:37,167
I promise, come here.
836
00:30:37,269 --> 00:30:39,436
[charity speaking]
come on.
837
00:30:39,538 --> 00:30:42,239
-[tia] oh, no.
-[charity] let's see.
838
00:30:42,341 --> 00:30:43,574
It's okay.
839
00:30:43,676 --> 00:30:45,142
There you go.
840
00:30:45,244 --> 00:30:46,710
[tia] it's a little tight,
I know it's a little tight.
841
00:30:46,812 --> 00:30:48,378
[charity] all right.
842
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:49,947
Bye, girls.
843
00:30:50,049 --> 00:30:51,181
You guys are okay.
844
00:30:51,283 --> 00:30:52,583
-Thank you.
-[tia] thank you. Bye.
845
00:30:52,685 --> 00:30:54,184
[tania] thank you so much.
846
00:30:54,286 --> 00:30:55,385
Nice meeting you all.
847
00:30:55,487 --> 00:30:57,354
[tia] nice meeting you.
848
00:30:57,456 --> 00:30:59,089
Our motto is once
a villalobos dog
849
00:30:59,191 --> 00:31:00,390
always a villalobos dog.
850
00:31:00,492 --> 00:31:03,627
And I mean,
she's still one of us.
851
00:31:03,729 --> 00:31:07,931
So, now we get them vetted,
get them taken care of,
852
00:31:08,033 --> 00:31:11,301
and try to find them a home.
853
00:31:11,403 --> 00:31:13,337
Yeah.
You a little worrywart?
854
00:31:13,439 --> 00:31:15,038
She's just "man,
so much just happened."
855
00:31:22,047 --> 00:31:25,048
[upbeat music playing]
856
00:31:29,922 --> 00:31:32,923
[dog barks]
857
00:31:35,694 --> 00:31:37,094
[mariah] grab, um,
poppy with the spot.
858
00:31:37,196 --> 00:31:39,963
[kanani] just a moment.
859
00:31:40,065 --> 00:31:41,765
Come here, my man.
860
00:31:41,867 --> 00:31:43,066
[mariah]
I've been really lucky
861
00:31:43,168 --> 00:31:45,502
and been able
to still work full-time
862
00:31:45,604 --> 00:31:47,304
and do a lot
of my daily things
863
00:31:47,406 --> 00:31:49,006
that I normally do.
864
00:31:49,108 --> 00:31:52,242
So, these spots are ringworm,
so we got to keep him bathed,
865
00:31:52,344 --> 00:31:53,443
um, we're gonna do baths
866
00:31:53,545 --> 00:31:54,778
-twice a week.
-Okay.
867
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,215
But because this is like
painful,
868
00:31:58,317 --> 00:31:59,750
I'm gonna show you
how to do it
869
00:31:59,852 --> 00:32:01,685
-so that you can help do them.
-Okay.
870
00:32:01,787 --> 00:32:02,986
You have a little cup, here,
I'll hold him.
871
00:32:03,088 --> 00:32:04,254
No, no escaping.
872
00:32:04,356 --> 00:32:06,256
I'll hold you. Oh.
873
00:32:06,358 --> 00:32:09,760
My legs hurt so bad.
874
00:32:09,862 --> 00:32:11,061
Oh.
875
00:32:11,163 --> 00:32:12,863
But now that I'm getting
towards the end
876
00:32:12,965 --> 00:32:16,533
in the last few weeks,
it actually feels good.
877
00:32:16,635 --> 00:32:18,568
Like everything
is burning on my body.
878
00:32:18,671 --> 00:32:19,970
I wanna get in there
with you right now.
879
00:32:20,072 --> 00:32:21,772
But my belly is bigger.
880
00:32:21,874 --> 00:32:24,574
So it's harder to pick dogs up
and bend over
881
00:32:24,643 --> 00:32:26,109
and just do simple things
882
00:32:26,211 --> 00:32:28,712
that you would never
pay attention to.
883
00:32:30,215 --> 00:32:32,916
Oh, it's like you have
no idea.
884
00:32:33,018 --> 00:32:34,151
[laughs]
885
00:32:34,253 --> 00:32:36,553
the energy it takes
just to bend over.
886
00:32:36,655 --> 00:32:39,523
So we're gonna just scrub
this stuff in.
887
00:32:40,826 --> 00:32:41,925
Oh.
888
00:32:45,097 --> 00:32:46,730
Oh, my.
889
00:32:46,832 --> 00:32:50,100
I'm like "eh." here you can
just do the scooping.
890
00:32:52,638 --> 00:32:55,572
You did so good,
you cute little boy.
891
00:32:55,674 --> 00:32:57,240
Here. Let's wring
your little paws out.
892
00:33:00,012 --> 00:33:03,080
We'll have to do this
twice a week, just like that.
893
00:33:03,182 --> 00:33:06,550
And then the spray,
you just do his little spots
894
00:33:06,652 --> 00:33:08,685
that he has, the bath,
you'll do everywhere.
895
00:33:08,787 --> 00:33:10,020
Okay.
896
00:33:10,122 --> 00:33:12,489
And I'm just gonna take
a minute to get up,
897
00:33:12,591 --> 00:33:14,491
-so you just...
-[kanani] you got that?
898
00:33:14,593 --> 00:33:15,826
You just do your thing.
899
00:33:15,928 --> 00:33:17,627
I just got to push through
and finish it up.
900
00:33:17,730 --> 00:33:18,729
And who knows?
901
00:33:18,831 --> 00:33:20,530
Maybe I'll just put myself
into labor quicker.
902
00:33:24,036 --> 00:33:25,168
Yay.
903
00:33:25,270 --> 00:33:26,403
Twenty more days.
904
00:33:28,474 --> 00:33:29,940
God, I hope I go early.
905
00:33:33,412 --> 00:33:36,413
[upbeat music playing]
906
00:33:52,197 --> 00:33:53,930
[tia] so, they're only taking
this little blue one?
907
00:33:54,033 --> 00:33:56,033
-[mariah t.] yeah.
-Come on, poopy.
908
00:33:56,135 --> 00:33:57,734
[mariah t.] I recently did
a meet-and-greet
909
00:33:57,836 --> 00:34:01,838
out at our country location
with a family from texas.
910
00:34:01,940 --> 00:34:03,106
Come here.
911
00:34:03,208 --> 00:34:04,307
What do you guys
think so far?
912
00:34:04,410 --> 00:34:05,308
[nikkie] which one
do you like?
913
00:34:05,411 --> 00:34:07,611
[mariah t.] can you tell
the difference?
914
00:34:07,713 --> 00:34:10,947
Since this family does have
another puppy that's bigger.
915
00:34:11,050 --> 00:34:12,349
Ready, ginger?
916
00:34:12,451 --> 00:34:13,550
Okay, hang on. Hang on.
Hang on.
917
00:34:13,652 --> 00:34:16,953
[bleep] come on, stinker.
918
00:34:17,056 --> 00:34:20,223
I figured the perfect thing
to do would be to try him
919
00:34:20,325 --> 00:34:22,259
with tater
and see how he reacts.
920
00:34:22,361 --> 00:34:23,660
[tia] I'll make sure
these gates are closed.
921
00:34:23,762 --> 00:34:24,861
[mariah t.] come on, buddy.
922
00:34:24,963 --> 00:34:26,296
[tia] you wanna check
that gate over there?
923
00:34:26,398 --> 00:34:27,998
Or guy can you check it?
924
00:34:28,100 --> 00:34:30,667
Not the tater's
going anywhere fast but...
925
00:34:30,769 --> 00:34:32,202
[tia] with not knowing
where these puppies
926
00:34:32,304 --> 00:34:34,671
or any dog that we get in
comes from sometimes.
927
00:34:34,773 --> 00:34:36,139
We wanna make sure
that they've been
928
00:34:36,241 --> 00:34:39,342
socialized well or if not,
we need to socialize them.
929
00:34:39,445 --> 00:34:41,845
Watching them
and their body language
930
00:34:41,947 --> 00:34:44,681
and the way they react around
other dogs is important.
931
00:34:44,783 --> 00:34:46,983
You know, is this puppy going
to be scared of another dog?
932
00:34:47,086 --> 00:34:48,385
Is the dog maybe too big?
933
00:34:48,487 --> 00:34:50,487
Maybe it needs a smaller dog
to be around.
934
00:34:50,589 --> 00:34:51,822
All right,
I'mma let him down.
935
00:34:51,924 --> 00:34:52,722
[mariah t.] okay.
936
00:34:52,825 --> 00:34:53,757
[tia] just keep him
a moment, so.
937
00:34:53,859 --> 00:34:57,694
We tried to simulate
as close as possible
938
00:34:57,796 --> 00:35:02,232
to the situation that any dog
is gonna be going into.
939
00:35:02,334 --> 00:35:03,166
Go get to uncle...
940
00:35:03,268 --> 00:35:04,101
[mariah t.]
I'm gonna get some water.
941
00:35:04,203 --> 00:35:05,035
Who's the... Oh.
942
00:35:05,137 --> 00:35:06,903
Oh, wow.
943
00:35:07,005 --> 00:35:08,605
[tia] he didn't think
he was scared.
944
00:35:08,707 --> 00:35:10,006
[mariah t.] he just went
face first
945
00:35:10,109 --> 00:35:12,075
and then crash landing.
946
00:35:12,177 --> 00:35:13,510
[tia] I mean, could you
at least act
947
00:35:13,612 --> 00:35:14,744
like a little bit...
948
00:35:14,847 --> 00:35:16,346
[mariah t.] I thought he was
gonna be nervous with him.
949
00:35:16,448 --> 00:35:18,048
As soon as we got bro
out there, he ran into tater
950
00:35:18,150 --> 00:35:19,883
and just wanted to run around
and play.
951
00:35:19,985 --> 00:35:22,219
He wasn't intimidated
whatsoever.
952
00:35:22,321 --> 00:35:23,220
He was excited.
953
00:35:23,322 --> 00:35:25,755
So everything
went absolutely beautiful.
954
00:35:26,725 --> 00:35:28,191
I really thought
he was gonna be nervous.
955
00:35:28,293 --> 00:35:29,493
I did too
that's why I put him down...
956
00:35:29,595 --> 00:35:30,627
That's why I put him down
far away.
957
00:35:30,729 --> 00:35:32,262
[mariah t.] that was cute.
958
00:35:32,364 --> 00:35:33,630
He's a wild one.
959
00:35:33,732 --> 00:35:36,366
Okay, well, I tried
to make this easy on you.
960
00:35:36,468 --> 00:35:37,601
[mariah t.] hi.
961
00:35:39,805 --> 00:35:41,071
This is cute.
962
00:35:41,173 --> 00:35:42,839
Bro was being a typical
happy puppy trying
963
00:35:42,941 --> 00:35:44,841
to play with tater coming
and saying hi to me
964
00:35:44,943 --> 00:35:46,843
and going
and saying hi to my mom.
965
00:35:46,945 --> 00:35:49,279
Come on.
966
00:35:49,414 --> 00:35:51,081
-He's crazy.
-[tia] he just like hops.
967
00:35:51,183 --> 00:35:53,717
[mariah t.] come on.
968
00:35:53,819 --> 00:35:55,819
You are a happy guy.
969
00:35:55,921 --> 00:35:58,455
Hi. Mwah.
970
00:35:58,557 --> 00:36:00,957
He's really happy-go-lucky,
sweet pit bull,
971
00:36:01,059 --> 00:36:04,661
and I hope that he continues
to stay that way.
972
00:36:04,763 --> 00:36:06,163
That... Here's my concern.
973
00:36:08,300 --> 00:36:10,567
You know me, as puppies,
they're gonna be great.
974
00:36:10,669 --> 00:36:12,302
They need to start
setting boundaries
975
00:36:12,404 --> 00:36:14,538
and have a good structured
976
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:15,672
-lifestyle for them.
-[mariah t.] okay.
977
00:36:15,774 --> 00:36:16,806
[tia] no eating
of the same food bowl.
978
00:36:16,909 --> 00:36:18,108
-[mariah t.] okay.
-You know,
979
00:36:18,210 --> 00:36:19,342
no fighting over toys,
980
00:36:19,444 --> 00:36:20,477
none of this,
let them work it out.
981
00:36:20,579 --> 00:36:21,778
[mariah t.] I'll make sure
I talk to them.
982
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:23,480
[tia] one of the number one
calls we get to take dogs
983
00:36:23,582 --> 00:36:25,048
-and that's...
-They grew up together.
984
00:36:25,150 --> 00:36:26,516
I don't understand why
they're not getting along.
985
00:36:26,618 --> 00:36:27,951
They grew up together
and everything was great.
986
00:36:28,053 --> 00:36:29,352
What happened
when they got older?
987
00:36:29,454 --> 00:36:30,954
One of the first things
we look for in a home
988
00:36:31,056 --> 00:36:34,224
that wants a puppy
is how long are you away
989
00:36:34,326 --> 00:36:35,659
from the home
during the day?
990
00:36:35,761 --> 00:36:37,360
We wanna make sure
that there's gonna be
991
00:36:37,462 --> 00:36:40,463
enough time paid to a puppy.
992
00:36:40,566 --> 00:36:42,465
If there's another dog
in the home
993
00:36:42,601 --> 00:36:45,635
or a puppy in the home,
teaching them their own space,
994
00:36:45,737 --> 00:36:46,903
you know,
we'd like to crate train
995
00:36:47,005 --> 00:36:48,471
all of our dogs,
either they get fed
996
00:36:48,574 --> 00:36:50,840
in their crates or they get
fed in separate rooms.
997
00:36:50,943 --> 00:36:55,512
You have to set boundaries,
um, as if you were raising
998
00:36:55,614 --> 00:36:56,947
two small children together.
999
00:36:57,049 --> 00:36:58,381
I'll make sure
because I haven't
1000
00:36:58,483 --> 00:36:59,950
talked to him since then
that they have separate crates
1001
00:37:00,052 --> 00:37:01,218
for them and stuff already
1002
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,086
because people are probably
not gonna think about it.
1003
00:37:05,891 --> 00:37:09,059
[tia] all children grow up
to get along but...
1004
00:37:09,161 --> 00:37:11,494
You're gonna be a good boy.
1005
00:37:11,597 --> 00:37:12,729
Yes.
1006
00:37:12,831 --> 00:37:14,030
Yes, you are.
1007
00:37:14,132 --> 00:37:15,265
Now that they have
two puppies,
1008
00:37:15,367 --> 00:37:16,666
they do need
to have two crates
1009
00:37:16,768 --> 00:37:18,602
and they need to be separated,
making sure
1010
00:37:18,704 --> 00:37:20,270
that we're setting bro
for success
1011
00:37:20,372 --> 00:37:23,506
and their other puppy
remington as well.
1012
00:37:23,609 --> 00:37:25,842
-[tia] can you take him?
-Oh, here you go.
1013
00:37:25,944 --> 00:37:27,911
[sighs]
1014
00:37:28,013 --> 00:37:29,479
[mariah t.] now that we've
done a little bit
1015
00:37:29,581 --> 00:37:31,381
of socializing with bro,
all that we have left to do
1016
00:37:31,483 --> 00:37:34,284
is drive him to his
potential new home in texas.
1017
00:37:34,386 --> 00:37:38,154
We'll be to my car tomorrow
at this rate.
1018
00:37:38,257 --> 00:37:40,090
Moving slow.
1019
00:37:42,661 --> 00:37:45,662
[upbeat music playing]
1020
00:37:47,933 --> 00:37:50,900
[dogs barking]
1021
00:37:56,908 --> 00:37:58,208
[kanani] hello puppy.
1022
00:38:03,115 --> 00:38:05,015
[tia] you know, with the
hurricane season coming in,
1023
00:38:05,117 --> 00:38:07,617
you know, and we're heading
right into it, it's like,
1024
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:11,354
okay, you know, we really got
to get going on this project,
1025
00:38:11,456 --> 00:38:14,190
if not for nothing
just to make it less stressful
1026
00:38:14,293 --> 00:38:17,360
and easier for the dogs
and our employees.
1027
00:38:17,462 --> 00:38:20,230
[toney] I cut the roof
on the first two kennel
1028
00:38:20,332 --> 00:38:22,265
and kind of like lift
the roof up.
1029
00:38:22,334 --> 00:38:23,667
But we just got to try
to get it out
1030
00:38:23,769 --> 00:38:25,735
and go that way but I'mma wait
till all the fellas come.
1031
00:38:25,837 --> 00:38:27,404
[tia] the first step
before we build
1032
00:38:27,506 --> 00:38:29,973
these above ground kennels
is to tear down
1033
00:38:30,075 --> 00:38:32,909
the existing kennels
that are at ground level.
1034
00:38:40,052 --> 00:38:41,985
[toney] mama gave us
specific duties.
1035
00:38:42,087 --> 00:38:45,989
Mine was like a demolition
to kind of get things rolling.
1036
00:38:46,091 --> 00:38:48,558
This becomes first priority
because it's what's best
1037
00:38:48,660 --> 00:38:51,261
for the dogs and best for us
here right at villalobos.
1038
00:38:51,363 --> 00:38:53,496
We're coming out
to you spence.
1039
00:38:53,598 --> 00:38:54,698
Uh, like lean it forward
with those...
1040
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,966
I think we could lean it
forward.
1041
00:38:57,069 --> 00:38:59,336
I think if we lean it forward
like this...
1042
00:38:59,438 --> 00:39:00,603
[man] you know,
I think that's...
1043
00:39:00,706 --> 00:39:03,106
[tia] you know, I find myself
backed up against a wall
1044
00:39:03,208 --> 00:39:06,109
because there's a lot
of repairs to make.
1045
00:39:06,211 --> 00:39:07,610
There's a lot
of reconstruction
1046
00:39:07,713 --> 00:39:09,379
that needs to be done,
which means
1047
00:39:09,481 --> 00:39:12,449
I have to pour money into this
building that I don't own.
1048
00:39:12,551 --> 00:39:14,017
Well, what choice do I have?
1049
00:39:14,086 --> 00:39:16,820
It's home for our dogs.
It's home for us.
1050
00:39:16,922 --> 00:39:19,356
You know, I don't know
what else to do at this point.
1051
00:39:19,458 --> 00:39:22,826
I don't have the money
to go out and buy a place.
1052
00:39:22,928 --> 00:39:26,696
We just got to work
with what we have.
1053
00:39:26,798 --> 00:39:28,665
Get that whole area
cleaned out,
1054
00:39:28,767 --> 00:39:30,700
shovel all
the pea gravel out,
1055
00:39:30,802 --> 00:39:32,068
so that we can start
1056
00:39:32,170 --> 00:39:34,771
to take measurements
and, you know,
1057
00:39:34,873 --> 00:39:38,742
build the platforms
to put the kennels on.
1058
00:39:38,810 --> 00:39:41,845
We have various plans
going into motion right now.
1059
00:39:41,947 --> 00:39:45,014
We just have to buckle down.
1060
00:39:45,117 --> 00:39:48,017
Just keep our heads
to the ground
1061
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:49,819
and just power through it.
1062
00:39:53,759 --> 00:39:55,658
You look fatter now.
Oh my goodness.
1063
00:39:55,761 --> 00:39:57,827
So it's been a couple
of weeks since tania and I
1064
00:39:57,929 --> 00:40:00,764
picked up cozy and nina
from texas.
1065
00:40:00,866 --> 00:40:02,732
It's okay.
I know you're nervous.
1066
00:40:02,801 --> 00:40:04,000
Let's go this way.
1067
00:40:04,102 --> 00:40:06,069
Lot of unanswered questions
1068
00:40:06,171 --> 00:40:09,272
and we may not ever
get the answers.
1069
00:40:09,374 --> 00:40:10,874
Oh. Ah, ah, ah.
1070
00:40:13,879 --> 00:40:15,512
[dramatic music playing]
1071
00:40:21,453 --> 00:40:23,153
[mariah] so I was gonna
have you help me
1072
00:40:23,255 --> 00:40:25,288
ever since I hit
the third trimester,
1073
00:40:25,390 --> 00:40:28,491
I got like that carpal tunnel
on my wrist now.
1074
00:40:28,593 --> 00:40:29,926
And so I have hard, like,
1075
00:40:30,028 --> 00:40:31,361
hard times
doing certain things.
1076
00:40:31,463 --> 00:40:34,130
I wanna see if you would
help me set-up the baby swing.
1077
00:40:34,232 --> 00:40:35,665
-[lois] okay.
-In the baby's room,
1078
00:40:35,767 --> 00:40:37,266
-if you don't mind?
-Absolutely.
1079
00:40:37,335 --> 00:40:38,902
[mariah] I got something
to show you first.
1080
00:40:39,004 --> 00:40:41,738
Aunt carla from missouri
sent me something.
1081
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:45,809
My aunt contacted me and said
that she had found something
1082
00:40:45,911 --> 00:40:47,811
when she was cleaning out
my grandpa's house.
1083
00:40:47,913 --> 00:40:49,612
She wanted to send me
something for the baby
1084
00:40:49,714 --> 00:40:51,381
but it had to be a surprise.
1085
00:40:51,483 --> 00:40:53,550
So it was something I really
wanted to show my mom
1086
00:40:53,652 --> 00:40:55,618
and I knew it would mean
a lot for her too.
1087
00:40:55,720 --> 00:40:57,253
Look at all
the little hangers.
1088
00:40:57,355 --> 00:40:59,155
[mariah] I know, right?
1089
00:40:59,257 --> 00:41:01,624
-So these...
-Oh.
1090
00:41:01,726 --> 00:41:03,593
-...Grandma effy made these...
-Yes.
1091
00:41:03,695 --> 00:41:05,929
...I guess, before me
and zach were even born?
1092
00:41:06,031 --> 00:41:07,597
-Yeah.
-They were the very first
1093
00:41:07,699 --> 00:41:10,133
-baby shoes she ever knitted.
-Yep.
1094
00:41:10,235 --> 00:41:11,901
[mariah] and like they
haven't even...
1095
00:41:12,003 --> 00:41:13,203
[lois] they're not
even worn.
1096
00:41:13,305 --> 00:41:14,871
I know she used to put these
on your feet.
1097
00:41:14,973 --> 00:41:16,039
That's awesome.
1098
00:41:16,141 --> 00:41:17,240
[mariah] so, I thought
that was...
1099
00:41:17,342 --> 00:41:18,675
-That was really cool.
-That's cool.
1100
00:41:18,777 --> 00:41:21,010
-That they found... Yeah.
-[lois] yeah.
1101
00:41:21,112 --> 00:41:24,080
[mariah] my grandmother
who passed away in 2001
1102
00:41:24,182 --> 00:41:27,350
actually made them before me
and my brother were born.
1103
00:41:27,452 --> 00:41:29,118
Me and my grandmother
were very close.
1104
00:41:29,221 --> 00:41:31,321
So it was just really special
for me.
1105
00:41:31,423 --> 00:41:32,755
But isn't that pretty cool?
1106
00:41:32,858 --> 00:41:34,224
-Yeah.
-Yeah. It's like...
1107
00:41:34,326 --> 00:41:35,458
Because we don't have a lot
1108
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:37,627
of family heirlooms stuff
in our family.
1109
00:41:37,729 --> 00:41:39,229
-No.
-So it's kind of crazy.
1110
00:41:39,331 --> 00:41:42,165
To see those little shoes
in mariah's hands
1111
00:41:42,267 --> 00:41:43,566
really means a lot.
1112
00:41:43,668 --> 00:41:45,335
You know, having the people
that have passed
1113
00:41:45,437 --> 00:41:47,136
having something from them.
1114
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,606
It almost...
1115
00:41:49,708 --> 00:41:51,908
Gets me upset.
1116
00:41:52,010 --> 00:41:53,910
Makes me happy though.
1117
00:41:54,012 --> 00:41:55,612
Okay, I'm gonna grab...
1118
00:41:55,714 --> 00:41:57,747
I got the swing back here.
1119
00:41:57,849 --> 00:41:59,516
-Oh, yeah, a little swing.
-[mariah] yeah,
1120
00:41:59,618 --> 00:42:01,317
this is the one you got me,
didn't... Isn't it?
1121
00:42:01,419 --> 00:42:02,485
I don't remember
what everyone...
1122
00:42:02,587 --> 00:42:03,553
So good, we get to see
1123
00:42:03,655 --> 00:42:05,121
if we really know
what we're doing.
1124
00:42:05,223 --> 00:42:07,290
Well, this is all you.
1125
00:42:07,392 --> 00:42:09,859
-I'm just kidding.
-[laughs]
1126
00:42:09,961 --> 00:42:11,561
[mariah] it was nice
to be able to show my mom
1127
00:42:11,663 --> 00:42:13,263
the baby's room and do like
1128
00:42:13,365 --> 00:42:15,231
a couple last minute
things with her
1129
00:42:15,333 --> 00:42:16,733
to get ready for the baby.
1130
00:42:16,835 --> 00:42:18,601
-Oh, lord.
-Yeah. There's a lot of parts.
1131
00:42:18,703 --> 00:42:21,905
This is usually where I have
kanani come in and do it.
1132
00:42:22,007 --> 00:42:24,274
[woman] where is he
when you need him?
1133
00:42:24,376 --> 00:42:25,441
He's working.
1134
00:42:25,544 --> 00:42:27,377
He's trying to get
all his work done
1135
00:42:27,479 --> 00:42:29,412
before this baby comes.
1136
00:42:29,514 --> 00:42:31,781
We better get the screw
out of it.
1137
00:42:31,850 --> 00:42:34,183
Why don't they make
these things easy for, like,
1138
00:42:34,286 --> 00:42:35,518
parents just open the box
1139
00:42:35,620 --> 00:42:36,753
-and it pops right up.
-Like snap.
1140
00:42:36,855 --> 00:42:38,721
-Yeah.
-Or snap, you know.
1141
00:42:38,823 --> 00:42:40,757
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1142
00:42:40,859 --> 00:42:42,358
So this goes up.
1143
00:42:45,030 --> 00:42:46,195
Oh.
1144
00:42:46,298 --> 00:42:47,964
That's... It snaps.
1145
00:42:48,066 --> 00:42:49,465
Hey.
1146
00:42:49,568 --> 00:42:52,802
To be around her as she goes
through the process,
1147
00:42:52,904 --> 00:42:54,671
I was able to do that
with luke
1148
00:42:54,773 --> 00:42:56,773
and now I'm very fortunate
1149
00:42:56,875 --> 00:42:59,375
to get that opportunity.
1150
00:42:59,477 --> 00:43:00,510
Wait. Hold on.
1151
00:43:00,612 --> 00:43:02,045
[woman] it's gonna go
like this.
1152
00:43:02,147 --> 00:43:03,146
Hold on because...
1153
00:43:03,248 --> 00:43:04,881
-It's gonna go like this.
-Oh, well, yeah.
1154
00:43:04,983 --> 00:43:06,749
Because the...
Because the swing part.
1155
00:43:06,851 --> 00:43:08,351
-Yeah.
-You keep reading
1156
00:43:08,453 --> 00:43:10,853
and I'll keep
putting together, okay?
1157
00:43:10,956 --> 00:43:13,389
[mariah] I'm very thankful
to have my mom around.
1158
00:43:13,491 --> 00:43:15,625
It's really nice knowing
that she's here for me
1159
00:43:15,727 --> 00:43:18,828
and I really couldn't imagine
doing it without her.
1160
00:43:18,930 --> 00:43:21,698
Oh, look at the little
baby swing.
1161
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:23,299
Oh, it just looks like
backwards.
1162
00:43:23,401 --> 00:43:25,702
Did we do that backwards?
1163
00:43:25,804 --> 00:43:27,770
Shouldn't because
that's should be the front.
1164
00:43:27,872 --> 00:43:29,606
Yeah.
And I think this is the...
1165
00:43:29,708 --> 00:43:30,840
-Oh, yup, we sure did.
-That's the...
1166
00:43:30,942 --> 00:43:32,609
We did it backwards.
1167
00:43:32,711 --> 00:43:33,710
See?
1168
00:43:35,113 --> 00:43:36,412
We sure did.
1169
00:43:37,782 --> 00:43:39,582
Like, wait, that's her feet.
1170
00:43:39,684 --> 00:43:41,284
She's just gonna be
upside down.
1171
00:43:41,386 --> 00:43:43,820
I don't think
that would be comfortable.
1172
00:43:43,922 --> 00:43:45,188
-There we go.
-That looks...
1173
00:43:45,290 --> 00:43:46,823
Yeah, that looks a lot better.
1174
00:43:46,925 --> 00:43:48,391
[woman] you know,
you always say
1175
00:43:48,493 --> 00:43:49,659
you love your kids so much,
1176
00:43:49,761 --> 00:43:51,761
and you'll never love
anything as much.
1177
00:43:51,863 --> 00:43:53,096
But then there comes
the grandbabies
1178
00:43:53,198 --> 00:43:55,398
and it's, like,
"okay, kids, done with you.
1179
00:43:55,500 --> 00:43:57,066
It's grandbaby time."
1180
00:43:58,670 --> 00:44:00,003
that's a cute little swing.
1181
00:44:00,105 --> 00:44:01,304
-That's cute.
-That's the only thing
1182
00:44:01,406 --> 00:44:03,373
I didn't have
because I have a bouncer.
1183
00:44:03,475 --> 00:44:04,741
So the swing was perfect.
1184
00:44:04,843 --> 00:44:06,042
I'm ready to meet her
1185
00:44:06,144 --> 00:44:08,344
and see how luke
interacts with her
1186
00:44:08,446 --> 00:44:11,114
and let kanani
get to meet her.
1187
00:44:11,216 --> 00:44:13,182
Thanks for helping me
put that together.
1188
00:44:13,284 --> 00:44:14,984
It's like the last
little thing.
1189
00:44:15,086 --> 00:44:16,919
And now she's done.
1190
00:44:17,022 --> 00:44:18,988
Now it's time
to just have her.
1191
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:25,261
[upbeat music playing]
1192
00:44:26,598 --> 00:44:27,997
[mariah t.] there's already
a crate in there,
1193
00:44:28,099 --> 00:44:30,466
it's massive but whatever.
1194
00:44:30,568 --> 00:44:32,001
He'll have some room to...
1195
00:44:32,103 --> 00:44:34,604
Let me push it backwards
so he wouldn't fall out.
1196
00:44:34,706 --> 00:44:37,440
Today I am loading up bro,
one of our puppies,
1197
00:44:37,542 --> 00:44:40,910
and driving him to his
potential home in texas.
1198
00:44:41,012 --> 00:44:44,147
Hi, happy boy.
1199
00:44:44,249 --> 00:44:46,983
Puppy adoptions are typically
really, really easy.
1200
00:44:47,085 --> 00:44:49,952
It's easier to travel.
It's just me and one puppy.
1201
00:44:51,923 --> 00:44:52,689
Okey-dokey.
1202
00:44:52,791 --> 00:44:53,856
Hold on, buddy.
1203
00:44:53,958 --> 00:44:55,191
He's like, "oh my god,
air conditioning,
1204
00:44:55,293 --> 00:44:56,993
-I don't know about that."
-[mariah t.] here we go.
1205
00:44:57,095 --> 00:44:58,695
-Aww.
-[mariah t.] so everything,
1206
00:44:58,797 --> 00:45:00,997
I feel like,
will go very smoothly.
1207
00:45:01,099 --> 00:45:02,565
[tia] all right, honey,
it's okay.
1208
00:45:04,035 --> 00:45:06,035
-Bye.
-Bye. To texas.
1209
00:45:06,137 --> 00:45:07,470
To texas you go.
1210
00:45:07,572 --> 00:45:08,971
[mariah t.] you're wearing
your texas shirt.
1211
00:45:09,074 --> 00:45:12,175
And I'm dressed
for the occasion.
1212
00:45:12,277 --> 00:45:14,744
[mariah t.] I mean, hopefully,
bro will get to stay
1213
00:45:14,846 --> 00:45:17,246
with his new family
and he will bring
1214
00:45:17,348 --> 00:45:20,450
even more happiness
into this family's life.
1215
00:45:20,552 --> 00:45:24,353
One down, 800,000 more to go.
1216
00:45:24,456 --> 00:45:25,455
[mariah t.] ready?
1217
00:45:29,227 --> 00:45:31,861
[dramatic music playing]
1218
00:45:40,105 --> 00:45:42,071
[reporter] hurricane zeta
as it's now being called
1219
00:45:42,173 --> 00:45:44,440
quickly transition
from tropical storm status
1220
00:45:44,509 --> 00:45:46,809
to a projected
category one hurricane.
1221
00:45:46,911 --> 00:45:49,612
[dramatic music playing]
1222
00:45:57,655 --> 00:45:58,821
[tia] with living
in new orleans,
1223
00:45:58,923 --> 00:46:00,356
you battle mother nature
every year,
1224
00:46:00,458 --> 00:46:03,159
it's just something
that you do.
1225
00:46:03,261 --> 00:46:04,694
I'm just thinking
how am I gonna do this
1226
00:46:04,796 --> 00:46:07,797
because I think these
are three feet wide,
1227
00:46:07,899 --> 00:46:10,600
the crates are four by two
so they're gonna stick out.
1228
00:46:10,702 --> 00:46:12,235
[tania] you're worried
about out here?
1229
00:46:12,337 --> 00:46:14,003
[tia] no. This is for city.
1230
00:46:14,105 --> 00:46:15,471
[tania] oh.
1231
00:46:15,573 --> 00:46:17,073
[tia] I don't think we'll...
We don't...
1232
00:46:17,208 --> 00:46:18,241
I don't think
we'll flood out here
1233
00:46:18,343 --> 00:46:20,109
because it's gotten
to the point where...
1234
00:46:20,211 --> 00:46:23,880
In the city,
just a slight rain...
1235
00:46:23,982 --> 00:46:26,149
-[tania] yeah, I know.
-[tia] ...Floods everything.
1236
00:46:26,251 --> 00:46:28,751
So that's my concern.
1237
00:46:28,853 --> 00:46:30,553
Every storm prep,
1238
00:46:30,655 --> 00:46:32,121
you just have
to kind of mold it
1239
00:46:32,223 --> 00:46:33,790
to what's going on
at the time.
1240
00:46:33,892 --> 00:46:37,393
And it does become
like a mad dash
1241
00:46:37,495 --> 00:46:38,628
to get everything ready.
1242
00:46:38,730 --> 00:46:40,096
[tania] we'll probably
lose power.
1243
00:46:40,198 --> 00:46:41,531
-[tia] maybe.
-[tania] but I don't think
1244
00:46:41,633 --> 00:46:42,732
the wind is gonna be that bad.
1245
00:46:42,834 --> 00:46:44,467
I mean, I don't think
it'll be that bad, we'll see.
1246
00:46:44,569 --> 00:46:45,802
It's not the wind
I'm worried about,
1247
00:46:45,904 --> 00:46:47,236
-it's the water.
-[tania] water.
1248
00:46:47,338 --> 00:46:48,971
The warehouse, it's tough.
1249
00:46:49,073 --> 00:46:50,306
It's a good, tough building.
1250
00:46:50,408 --> 00:46:51,374
But you know what?
1251
00:46:51,476 --> 00:46:52,975
Never say never.
1252
00:46:53,077 --> 00:46:54,377
You know,
so we are concerned.
1253
00:46:54,479 --> 00:46:56,612
You know, the roof
could get ripped off.
1254
00:46:56,714 --> 00:46:58,147
The flooding can be so bad
1255
00:46:58,249 --> 00:47:01,484
that it just wipes out
what we have left outside.
1256
00:47:01,586 --> 00:47:02,785
There are always concerns.
1257
00:47:02,887 --> 00:47:05,454
We never say we got this.
1258
00:47:05,557 --> 00:47:07,757
We hope we got this,
is what we say.
1259
00:47:07,859 --> 00:47:10,860
[thunder rumbling]
1260
00:47:14,032 --> 00:47:15,464
-[nikkie] aww.
-[mariah t.] is this too much
1261
00:47:15,567 --> 00:47:17,266
for you right now? Ooh.
1262
00:47:17,368 --> 00:47:18,835
You're getting... Uh-oh.
1263
00:47:18,937 --> 00:47:20,136
He kind of growled at him
at one point.
1264
00:47:20,238 --> 00:47:21,137
He's really overwhelmed
1265
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:22,205
-right now.
-[nikkie] yeah.
1266
00:47:22,307 --> 00:47:23,639
[mariah t.] I've never
seen him like this.
1267
00:47:23,741 --> 00:47:25,208
This is something that I have
to call my mom about
1268
00:47:25,310 --> 00:47:26,642
because I have no idea
what to do.
1269
00:47:30,782 --> 00:47:32,148
[upbeat music playing]
1270
00:47:37,188 --> 00:47:38,254
you ready?
1271
00:47:40,558 --> 00:47:43,726
Today, we are in texas
doing bro's adoption.
1272
00:47:43,828 --> 00:47:44,994
We're here.
1273
00:47:46,197 --> 00:47:49,365
It is gonna be different
doing this with two puppies.
1274
00:47:49,467 --> 00:47:51,467
I'm sure they're both
gonna be very excited
1275
00:47:51,569 --> 00:47:54,003
and all over the place.
1276
00:47:54,072 --> 00:47:55,571
-[nikkie] hi, guys. Yeah.
-[mariah t.] hi there.
1277
00:47:55,673 --> 00:47:57,807
-[mariah t.] how are you?
-[nikkie] come on in.
1278
00:47:57,909 --> 00:48:00,209
It's just exciting
that today is the day
1279
00:48:00,311 --> 00:48:01,744
that he gets to come be part
1280
00:48:01,846 --> 00:48:02,912
-of our life.
-[fitz] how are you?
1281
00:48:03,014 --> 00:48:04,413
[mariah t.] oh,
you're standing back here.
1282
00:48:04,515 --> 00:48:05,915
[fritz] yeah,
I snuck up on you.
1283
00:48:06,017 --> 00:48:07,350
[nikkie] we're just
all excited to have him.
1284
00:48:07,452 --> 00:48:09,151
-All right.
-Geez, he's so big.
1285
00:48:09,254 --> 00:48:11,354
[nikkie] I know,
he's like doubled in size.
1286
00:48:11,456 --> 00:48:12,755
[mariah t.] hi.
1287
00:48:12,857 --> 00:48:14,190
Oh, my gosh.
1288
00:48:14,292 --> 00:48:16,259
You are so big.
1289
00:48:16,361 --> 00:48:18,094
[nikkie] I think it's gonna be
a good thing for remington
1290
00:48:18,196 --> 00:48:19,595
to have a puppy with him.
1291
00:48:19,697 --> 00:48:21,931
You know, it's crazy
how big he's gotten.
1292
00:48:22,033 --> 00:48:24,700
When we adopted him,
he had his sister with him.
1293
00:48:24,802 --> 00:48:26,769
This is gonna give him
a great playmate
1294
00:48:26,871 --> 00:48:28,671
to get some of that
puppy energy off
1295
00:48:28,773 --> 00:48:30,706
and also to just be able
to grow up together
1296
00:48:30,842 --> 00:48:33,342
and have a good best friend.
1297
00:48:33,444 --> 00:48:36,679
[mariah t.] oh, my gosh,
he is gonna freak out.
1298
00:48:36,781 --> 00:48:38,180
[laughs]
1299
00:48:38,283 --> 00:48:39,849
oh, these gates already
have locks on them.
1300
00:48:39,951 --> 00:48:41,183
Obviously,
once they get bigger,
1301
00:48:41,286 --> 00:48:43,185
just be careful with them
digging back here.
1302
00:48:43,288 --> 00:48:44,987
You guys never leave him
alone back here, right?
1303
00:48:45,089 --> 00:48:46,222
-[nikkie] no.
-Okay.
1304
00:48:46,324 --> 00:48:47,723
That's the biggest thing
with me.
1305
00:48:47,825 --> 00:48:49,158
I don't know,
once they start getting bigger
1306
00:48:49,260 --> 00:48:51,193
like I said just pay attention
to any digging,
1307
00:48:51,296 --> 00:48:55,097
um, especially like
down at the bottom.
1308
00:48:55,199 --> 00:48:56,532
He's still small and
if he does,
1309
00:48:56,634 --> 00:48:58,100
-he can slip out really easy.
-Okay.
1310
00:48:58,202 --> 00:48:59,769
[mariah t.] once he's a little
bit bigger in his size,
1311
00:48:59,871 --> 00:49:01,103
it'd be a little
bit harder but...
1312
00:49:01,205 --> 00:49:03,072
-Right.
-[mariah t.] ...Um,
1313
00:49:03,174 --> 00:49:04,774
and you guys don't have anyone
that comes back here,
1314
00:49:04,876 --> 00:49:06,075
like no gardeners,
nothing like that?
1315
00:49:06,177 --> 00:49:07,276
[nikkie] no.
1316
00:49:07,378 --> 00:49:09,045
No. We do all
of our own lawn care.
1317
00:49:09,147 --> 00:49:10,813
[mariah t.] um, that one
has a lock on it too, right?
1318
00:49:10,915 --> 00:49:12,081
-[nikkie] it does.
-[mariah t.] easy.
1319
00:49:12,183 --> 00:49:13,482
You guys made this
very easy for me.
1320
00:49:13,584 --> 00:49:14,884
-[fritz] yeah.
-And I'm jumping up especially
1321
00:49:14,986 --> 00:49:16,285
with those kinds
and I've seen it happen
1322
00:49:16,387 --> 00:49:17,920
before with dogs and that's
why we're so adamant
1323
00:49:18,022 --> 00:49:19,689
about having those locks
on 'em.
1324
00:49:19,791 --> 00:49:21,324
The fence is perfect,
they already have locks
1325
00:49:21,426 --> 00:49:23,259
on both of their gates,
everything's sealed up
1326
00:49:23,361 --> 00:49:25,161
and there's plenty of space
for them to run around.
1327
00:49:25,263 --> 00:49:27,229
You guys are gonna have
your hands full now.
1328
00:49:27,332 --> 00:49:29,632
-[nikkie] yes.
-Two girls and two puppies.
1329
00:49:30,902 --> 00:49:33,235
We're looking forward
to see bro.
1330
00:49:33,338 --> 00:49:35,504
[mariah t.] do you know what
you guys wanna name him?
1331
00:49:35,606 --> 00:49:37,139
-What do you wanna name him?
-[teaghan] steel.
1332
00:49:37,241 --> 00:49:38,908
What is it?
1333
00:49:39,010 --> 00:49:40,343
-[mariah t.] I love that.
-[nikkie] steel.
1334
00:49:40,478 --> 00:49:41,844
So we'll have
remington steel.
1335
00:49:41,946 --> 00:49:43,713
That's amazing. [laughs]
1336
00:49:43,815 --> 00:49:45,781
[delaney] I'm excited
to have two dogs
1337
00:49:45,883 --> 00:49:48,417
because remington
could lay here
1338
00:49:48,519 --> 00:49:50,252
and steel could lay here.
1339
00:49:50,355 --> 00:49:52,421
Obviously, you guys
have had two dogs before
1340
00:49:52,523 --> 00:49:54,790
but this is something my mom
and I are really adamant
1341
00:49:54,892 --> 00:49:56,726
and I'm glad you guys
have two crates.
1342
00:49:56,861 --> 00:49:58,794
Right now, obviously,
1343
00:49:58,896 --> 00:50:00,229
they're puppies
and they're young.
1344
00:50:00,331 --> 00:50:01,797
-[nikkie] mmm-hmm.
-As they start getting older,
1345
00:50:01,899 --> 00:50:03,432
it doesn't matter if they are
raised together or not,
1346
00:50:03,534 --> 00:50:04,500
issues will arise.
1347
00:50:04,602 --> 00:50:05,634
So making sure that their food
1348
00:50:05,737 --> 00:50:06,836
is always separate.
1349
00:50:06,938 --> 00:50:07,970
They always have
to eat separate.
1350
00:50:08,072 --> 00:50:09,138
-Mmm-hmm.
-No bones.
1351
00:50:09,207 --> 00:50:10,539
Once they get older
they have that strength
1352
00:50:10,641 --> 00:50:11,607
and they're gonna be bigger
1353
00:50:11,709 --> 00:50:12,608
to where they can hurt
each other
1354
00:50:12,710 --> 00:50:13,676
so you need to be
really vigilant
1355
00:50:13,778 --> 00:50:14,810
with that stuff.
1356
00:50:14,912 --> 00:50:17,046
They are still pit bulls
and they're bigger dogs.
1357
00:50:17,148 --> 00:50:18,447
-[nikkie] okay.
-So, why don't I go
1358
00:50:18,549 --> 00:50:19,849
get your new little brother?
1359
00:50:19,951 --> 00:50:22,018
-Wow. Are you excited?
-[nikkie] are you ready?
1360
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:24,020
[mariah t.] I mean, at this
point all we can really do
1361
00:50:24,122 --> 00:50:26,255
is just let the puppies meet
and see how it goes.
1362
00:50:26,357 --> 00:50:27,390
Hi.
1363
00:50:27,492 --> 00:50:29,025
Oh.
1364
00:50:29,127 --> 00:50:29,992
[nikkie]
we're definitely excited
1365
00:50:30,094 --> 00:50:31,360
to have two dogs again.
1366
00:50:31,462 --> 00:50:33,462
The girls have grown up
with having two dogs.
1367
00:50:33,564 --> 00:50:36,732
I think they missed having
both of their old companions.
1368
00:50:36,834 --> 00:50:38,701
-[mariah t.] come on, buddy.
-[nikkie] good job. High five.
1369
00:50:38,803 --> 00:50:41,470
It's just gonna be a blessing
to have them,
1370
00:50:41,572 --> 00:50:43,639
-to have two dogs again.
-[mariah t.] what is it?
1371
00:50:43,741 --> 00:50:44,974
[fitz] oh, she's coming
around this way.
1372
00:50:45,076 --> 00:50:46,575
-[mariah t.] good job.
-[nikkie] oh my goodness,
1373
00:50:46,677 --> 00:50:47,877
look at him.
1374
00:50:47,979 --> 00:50:49,078
[mariah t.] he hasn't grown
that much.
1375
00:50:49,180 --> 00:50:50,413
[fitz] he's so excited.
1376
00:50:50,515 --> 00:50:51,981
-[nikkie] who's that?
-[mariah t.] yeah.
1377
00:50:52,083 --> 00:50:52,982
[nikkie] aww. Say hi.
1378
00:50:53,084 --> 00:50:54,483
[mariah t.] oh, there we go.
1379
00:50:54,585 --> 00:50:57,753
[nikkie] seeing bro
was unbelievable.
1380
00:50:57,855 --> 00:51:00,556
He is just adorable.
1381
00:51:00,658 --> 00:51:02,525
Just absolutely adorable.
1382
00:51:02,627 --> 00:51:04,126
-[mariah t.] hi.
-[[fritz] hey, buddy.
1383
00:51:04,228 --> 00:51:05,327
Will you say hi?
1384
00:51:05,430 --> 00:51:06,362
[mariah t.] it's okay.
1385
00:51:06,464 --> 00:51:08,030
I expected bro to grow
1386
00:51:08,132 --> 00:51:10,332
a lot faster
than he is right now
1387
00:51:10,435 --> 00:51:11,600
and he hasn't really grown
that much.
1388
00:51:11,702 --> 00:51:12,935
Remington on the other hand,
1389
00:51:13,037 --> 00:51:15,104
he's gotten a lot bigger.
1390
00:51:15,206 --> 00:51:16,572
Well, once my... It's great.
1391
00:51:16,674 --> 00:51:18,007
It's gonna be overwhelming
for a minute,
1392
00:51:18,109 --> 00:51:19,708
I can't believe
how much bigger he is.
1393
00:51:19,811 --> 00:51:21,410
Remington was just being
really overbearing
1394
00:51:21,512 --> 00:51:22,778
which is... He's excited,
1395
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:24,313
but bro's a lot smaller.
1396
00:51:24,415 --> 00:51:27,016
So it's not two puppies
1397
00:51:27,118 --> 00:51:29,251
with the same size
that feel comfortable.
1398
00:51:29,353 --> 00:51:30,719
Okay, buddy.
1399
00:51:30,822 --> 00:51:32,088
All right. Let's go.
1400
00:51:32,190 --> 00:51:33,856
I think remi was so excited
1401
00:51:33,958 --> 00:51:35,157
to meet another puppy
1402
00:51:35,259 --> 00:51:37,960
that it was just overwhelming
for bro.
1403
00:51:38,062 --> 00:51:39,762
So I wanna take 'em on a walk
1404
00:51:39,864 --> 00:51:42,398
and see if that would help
a little bit.
1405
00:51:42,500 --> 00:51:43,766
[nikkie] come on.
1406
00:51:43,868 --> 00:51:45,901
[mariah t.] okay.
Come on.
1407
00:51:46,003 --> 00:51:47,369
-[nikkie] aww.
-[mariah t.] is this too much
1408
00:51:47,472 --> 00:51:48,370
for you right now? Ooh.
1409
00:51:48,473 --> 00:51:49,305
Ah.
1410
00:51:49,407 --> 00:51:51,707
You're getting... Uh-oh.
1411
00:51:51,809 --> 00:51:54,076
Hey, is this too much?
1412
00:51:54,178 --> 00:51:56,045
I mean, I've had it happen
where puppies get scared
1413
00:51:56,147 --> 00:51:58,080
and they get nervous but
he kind of growled at him
1414
00:51:58,182 --> 00:51:59,482
at one point.
1415
00:51:59,584 --> 00:52:01,484
Is this too much for you?
He's really overwhelmed
1416
00:52:01,586 --> 00:52:02,785
-right now.
-[nikkie] yeah.
1417
00:52:02,887 --> 00:52:04,186
[mariah t.] I've never
seen him like this.
1418
00:52:04,288 --> 00:52:05,721
I think just
the size difference
1419
00:52:05,823 --> 00:52:08,491
and remington being
so overwhelmed and excited.
1420
00:52:08,593 --> 00:52:10,426
All right here. Do me a favor,
go in the backyard.
1421
00:52:10,528 --> 00:52:11,427
And then I'll meet you guys
1422
00:52:11,529 --> 00:52:12,862
-back there in a second.
-[nikkie] okay.
1423
00:52:12,964 --> 00:52:14,563
[mariah t.] this is something
that I have to call
1424
00:52:14,665 --> 00:52:16,132
my mom about because I have
no idea what to do.
1425
00:52:16,234 --> 00:52:19,034
[phone ringing]
1426
00:52:19,137 --> 00:52:20,235
[tia speaking]
1427
00:52:20,304 --> 00:52:22,471
um, I'm at the adoption
right now.
1428
00:52:22,573 --> 00:52:23,772
[tia] mmm-hmm.
1429
00:52:23,875 --> 00:52:25,574
It's not going like I thought
it was going to.
1430
00:52:25,676 --> 00:52:27,510
[tia gasps]
1431
00:52:27,612 --> 00:52:28,677
[tia speaking]
1432
00:52:28,779 --> 00:52:29,945
well, bro just growled, like,
1433
00:52:30,047 --> 00:52:31,347
he's growled at him
because he was really...
1434
00:52:31,449 --> 00:52:32,882
Remington's really,
really excited
1435
00:52:32,984 --> 00:52:34,850
and like overbearing
to the point
1436
00:52:34,952 --> 00:52:37,319
where bro's
like not having it.
1437
00:52:38,990 --> 00:52:40,222
I don't know what to do
1438
00:52:40,324 --> 00:52:41,524
because I know
that after a while, like,
1439
00:52:41,626 --> 00:52:43,726
you know how much bro
loves other dogs
1440
00:52:43,828 --> 00:52:44,994
but the size difference
right now
1441
00:52:45,096 --> 00:52:46,262
and bro's really overwhelmed,
1442
00:52:46,364 --> 00:52:47,763
I don't know what to do.
1443
00:52:49,767 --> 00:52:52,735
[tia speaking]
1444
00:52:52,837 --> 00:52:55,037
-me either.
-[tia] um...
1445
00:52:55,139 --> 00:52:56,272
[mariah t.] like, I don't know
if once
1446
00:52:56,374 --> 00:52:57,439
the excitement wears off
1447
00:52:57,542 --> 00:53:00,109
that remington
will be fine but...
1448
00:53:00,211 --> 00:53:02,278
-[tia speaking]
-I don't know.
1449
00:53:02,380 --> 00:53:04,547
[tia speaking]
1450
00:53:04,649 --> 00:53:05,814
[mariah t.]
they're experienced
1451
00:53:05,917 --> 00:53:06,882
like they know
what they're doing,
1452
00:53:06,984 --> 00:53:08,217
you know what I mean
but I just don't...
1453
00:53:08,319 --> 00:53:09,852
I don't know.
1454
00:53:09,954 --> 00:53:11,187
Their crates are right next
to each other
1455
00:53:11,289 --> 00:53:14,523
and I don't know if like...
Seeing if...
1456
00:53:14,625 --> 00:53:16,425
Because I'm gonna be right up
the street until tomorrow.
1457
00:53:16,527 --> 00:53:17,860
So why don't I do that
and I'll come back...
1458
00:53:17,962 --> 00:53:19,461
I told them I can come back
in the morning too
1459
00:53:19,564 --> 00:53:21,197
and work with him
a little bit more of the...
1460
00:53:21,299 --> 00:53:22,431
You know what I mean?
1461
00:53:22,533 --> 00:53:23,966
[tia speaking]
1462
00:53:30,408 --> 00:53:31,840
well, their crates
are next to each other,
1463
00:53:31,943 --> 00:53:33,976
so why don't I see
if the excitement wears off
1464
00:53:34,045 --> 00:53:35,110
by tomorrow morning.
1465
00:53:35,213 --> 00:53:36,779
-[tia speaking]
-[mariah t.] okay. Thank you.
1466
00:53:36,881 --> 00:53:38,247
I... Yeah, I just didn't know
what to do
1467
00:53:38,349 --> 00:53:40,282
and I didn't wanna just
completely pull out of this
1468
00:53:40,384 --> 00:53:42,151
because I think
there's still a chance.
1469
00:53:42,253 --> 00:53:44,553
I'm not gonna put
any dog in a position,
1470
00:53:44,655 --> 00:53:47,223
especially a puppy
that he's gonna be scared
1471
00:53:47,325 --> 00:53:49,225
but I also think
that this is something
1472
00:53:49,327 --> 00:53:50,859
that can be worked through
or I wouldn't consider
1473
00:53:50,962 --> 00:53:51,860
leaving him here.
1474
00:53:51,963 --> 00:53:53,162
So here's what I'm thinking.
1475
00:53:53,264 --> 00:53:54,363
If you guys don't mind
1476
00:53:54,465 --> 00:53:55,831
-working for a minute.
-[fitz] yeah.
1477
00:53:55,933 --> 00:53:57,566
[mariah t.]
so what we should do,
1478
00:53:57,668 --> 00:53:58,801
don't obviously
let them loose
1479
00:53:58,903 --> 00:54:00,002
back here together,
1480
00:54:00,104 --> 00:54:01,604
um, we're gonna try it
for the night.
1481
00:54:01,706 --> 00:54:04,173
I think them being in crates
next to each other,
1482
00:54:04,275 --> 00:54:05,774
-it'll start getting it out.
-[nikkie] mmm-hmm.
1483
00:54:05,876 --> 00:54:07,309
[mariah t.] um,
just be open-minded
1484
00:54:07,411 --> 00:54:09,245
that if it's not working
I can...
1485
00:54:09,347 --> 00:54:10,679
Because I don't want him
to be scared like...
1486
00:54:10,815 --> 00:54:11,981
[nikkie] yeah.
1487
00:54:12,083 --> 00:54:13,315
[mariah t.] I will come back
next weekend.
1488
00:54:13,417 --> 00:54:14,817
-[nikkie] okay.
-[mariah t.] um, so I can...
1489
00:54:14,952 --> 00:54:16,719
I can take him back
if I have to tomorrow.
1490
00:54:16,821 --> 00:54:18,354
And we'll get someone
that will be perfect for him,
1491
00:54:18,456 --> 00:54:20,422
-but we can try.
-[fitz] okay.
1492
00:54:20,524 --> 00:54:22,625
I think they both need
their moment to breathe,
1493
00:54:22,727 --> 00:54:26,195
to kind of digest
what's happening,
1494
00:54:26,297 --> 00:54:27,329
uh, because it's a...
It's a...
1495
00:54:27,431 --> 00:54:28,764
It's a lot of stimuli
1496
00:54:28,866 --> 00:54:30,399
that got thrown out
at one moment.
1497
00:54:30,501 --> 00:54:32,701
So we're gonna let it breath
for 24 hours
1498
00:54:32,803 --> 00:54:34,169
and see if they mellow.
1499
00:54:34,272 --> 00:54:36,705
And if they do
and it's all gonna work out.
1500
00:54:36,807 --> 00:54:38,574
[mariah t.] come on, okay.
1501
00:54:38,676 --> 00:54:39,575
[fitz] we want bro.
1502
00:54:39,677 --> 00:54:41,210
We've gone this far
in this journey
1503
00:54:41,312 --> 00:54:42,811
that we want that to happen,
1504
00:54:42,913 --> 00:54:45,014
but everybody has to be safe
during the course of it.
1505
00:54:45,116 --> 00:54:46,815
[nikkie] oh, you are so cute.
1506
00:54:46,917 --> 00:54:48,884
[mariah t.]
he is a cuddle bug.
1507
00:54:48,986 --> 00:54:50,719
This dog literally just puts
his arms around you
1508
00:54:50,821 --> 00:54:52,855
-and he's just like...
-[nikkie] aww.
1509
00:54:52,957 --> 00:54:54,290
Come here.
1510
00:54:54,392 --> 00:54:55,557
Hello.
1511
00:54:55,660 --> 00:54:57,459
It was reassuring
with how affable
1512
00:54:57,561 --> 00:54:59,061
bro was when we met him.
1513
00:54:59,163 --> 00:55:00,496
And once remington
was out of the picture
1514
00:55:00,598 --> 00:55:02,164
and it was just us and him,
1515
00:55:02,266 --> 00:55:03,732
he went to us, he came up,
1516
00:55:03,834 --> 00:55:06,068
and gave myself puppy kisses.
1517
00:55:06,170 --> 00:55:07,369
He gave the girls kisses.
1518
00:55:07,471 --> 00:55:08,704
And he's definitely,
1519
00:55:08,806 --> 00:55:10,205
I think maybe smitten
with them.
1520
00:55:10,308 --> 00:55:11,940
I know that they're smitten
with him,
1521
00:55:12,043 --> 00:55:13,876
so I think it's gonna be
a good fit
1522
00:55:13,978 --> 00:55:15,978
once time tells.
1523
00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:17,946
Just really, really be open
to the possibility
1524
00:55:18,049 --> 00:55:19,815
that we might have
to bring him back
1525
00:55:19,917 --> 00:55:21,283
and no matter what we can...
1526
00:55:21,385 --> 00:55:23,752
My mom already said, you guys
are already approved adopters,
1527
00:55:23,854 --> 00:55:26,822
um, and we can get someone
that's more his size.
1528
00:55:26,924 --> 00:55:28,223
[nikkie] I was happy
that mariah's
1529
00:55:28,326 --> 00:55:31,560
giving us the chance
that we had the opportunity
1530
00:55:31,662 --> 00:55:34,263
to get remington
and bro together
1531
00:55:34,365 --> 00:55:36,231
and let them have their time
1532
00:55:36,334 --> 00:55:37,433
and to see
if this is gonna work.
1533
00:55:37,535 --> 00:55:39,068
[fitz] well, we wanna do
what's the right thing
1534
00:55:39,170 --> 00:55:40,436
-for the dog.
-Absolutely,
1535
00:55:40,538 --> 00:55:42,037
and it's for both of them,
so remington has someone
1536
00:55:42,139 --> 00:55:44,606
that he can really play with,
uh, hopefully it will be him.
1537
00:55:44,709 --> 00:55:45,974
This is a new situation
for me,
1538
00:55:46,077 --> 00:55:47,976
I've never done this
where I'm leaving a dog
1539
00:55:48,079 --> 00:55:49,878
and might be picking him up
tomorrow morning.
1540
00:55:49,980 --> 00:55:51,847
But they're puppies
and I'm willing to try.
1541
00:55:51,949 --> 00:55:53,749
Um, and you guys
are experienced
1542
00:55:53,851 --> 00:55:54,817
and that's what's making me
1543
00:55:54,919 --> 00:55:56,418
-feel a lot better.
-[nikkie] okay.
1544
00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:58,287
[mariah t.] any dog would be
very, very lucky
1545
00:55:58,389 --> 00:55:59,388
to be part of this family.
1546
00:55:59,490 --> 00:56:01,223
So hopefully it is bro,
1547
00:56:01,325 --> 00:56:03,392
but right now
I'm gonna give it one night
1548
00:56:03,494 --> 00:56:05,294
to let things
kind of settle down.
1549
00:56:05,396 --> 00:56:07,062
Just take it slow, you guys
know what you're doing.
1550
00:56:07,164 --> 00:56:09,198
And if you have any questions,
just call us.
1551
00:56:09,300 --> 00:56:10,733
Come here.
1552
00:56:10,835 --> 00:56:12,735
And tomorrow morning,
I'm gonna give them a call,
1553
00:56:12,837 --> 00:56:14,603
see if I need to come back
and work with them.
1554
00:56:14,705 --> 00:56:15,904
All right.
I will talk to you guys soon.
1555
00:56:16,006 --> 00:56:17,206
I'll call you later
this afternoon, okay?
1556
00:56:17,308 --> 00:56:18,273
-Okay.
-All right, great.
1557
00:56:18,376 --> 00:56:20,309
[mariah t.] all right.
Bye, guys.
Thank you.
1558
00:56:20,411 --> 00:56:21,543
[mariah t.] if anything,
1559
00:56:21,645 --> 00:56:23,545
I can bring bro back with me
and we'll find a puppy
1560
00:56:23,647 --> 00:56:25,381
that can keep up
with remington,
1561
00:56:25,483 --> 00:56:27,349
hopefully not
but if that's what needs
1562
00:56:27,451 --> 00:56:29,518
to happen it...
It's something that,
1563
00:56:29,620 --> 00:56:31,086
of course, we're gonna do.
1564
00:56:33,457 --> 00:56:35,257
Okay.
1565
00:56:35,359 --> 00:56:36,291
Like a girl.
1566
00:56:36,394 --> 00:56:38,794
[laughs] hi.
1567
00:56:38,896 --> 00:56:39,828
Hi, baby.
1568
00:56:39,930 --> 00:56:41,997
Hi, baby boy.
1569
00:56:48,038 --> 00:56:50,472
[suspenseful music playing]
1570
00:56:50,574 --> 00:56:52,274
[mariah t.] I mean,
I swam out of my house
1571
00:56:52,376 --> 00:56:55,377
during hurricane isaac,
but this was intense.
1572
00:56:56,981 --> 00:56:58,280
Man, this is bad.
1573
00:57:03,154 --> 00:57:04,653
[dramatic music playing]
1574
00:57:06,290 --> 00:57:08,323
[mariah t.] so yesterday,
I did a home check
1575
00:57:08,426 --> 00:57:09,992
and I thought
this was gonna be
1576
00:57:10,060 --> 00:57:12,060
one of the easiest adoptions
that I would ever do
1577
00:57:12,163 --> 00:57:13,462
because it's puppies.
1578
00:57:13,564 --> 00:57:16,165
[nikkie] oh my goodness,
look at him.
1579
00:57:16,267 --> 00:57:18,367
Aww, hi.
1580
00:57:18,469 --> 00:57:19,835
[mariah t.] but bro
1581
00:57:19,937 --> 00:57:22,471
just got really overwhelmed
by remington.
1582
00:57:22,573 --> 00:57:24,072
-[nikkie] aww.
-[mariah t.] is this too much
1583
00:57:24,175 --> 00:57:26,408
for you right now? Ooh.
You're getting...
1584
00:57:26,510 --> 00:57:28,677
After I called my mom
to ask her for advice
1585
00:57:28,779 --> 00:57:30,345
because I really...
1586
00:57:30,448 --> 00:57:31,480
I knew what I wanted to do,
1587
00:57:31,582 --> 00:57:33,816
but I was still
just kind of unsure.
1588
00:57:33,918 --> 00:57:35,684
My mom along
with the family decided
1589
00:57:35,786 --> 00:57:37,386
that we were gonna leave
bro overnight
1590
00:57:37,488 --> 00:57:39,888
and see if we could
take things slow
1591
00:57:39,990 --> 00:57:42,257
and if they were willing
to follow our direction
1592
00:57:42,359 --> 00:57:43,826
and try a few things out.
1593
00:57:43,928 --> 00:57:45,828
If you have any questions,
just call us.
1594
00:57:45,930 --> 00:57:47,663
Come here.
1595
00:57:47,765 --> 00:57:50,132
I ended up staying in texas
another night
1596
00:57:50,234 --> 00:57:51,767
just in case things
didn't work out
1597
00:57:51,869 --> 00:57:53,202
with the family
and the family didn't think
1598
00:57:53,304 --> 00:57:54,570
that it was a good idea.
1599
00:57:54,672 --> 00:57:56,138
And if that was the case,.
Then I'd bring him back.
1600
00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:58,140
And now that I've given him
some time
1601
00:57:58,242 --> 00:58:00,275
to settle in,
I don't wanna intrude
1602
00:58:00,377 --> 00:58:03,445
so I wanna give them
some space.
1603
00:58:03,547 --> 00:58:04,713
So how's he doing?
1604
00:58:04,815 --> 00:58:07,816
[nikkie speaking]
1605
00:58:11,722 --> 00:58:13,188
[mariah t.] so the family
followed our direction
1606
00:58:13,290 --> 00:58:14,823
and just kind of switched
them up in their crates
1607
00:58:14,925 --> 00:58:15,958
so they could smell each other
1608
00:58:16,060 --> 00:58:18,193
and just take things
really, really slow.
1609
00:58:18,295 --> 00:58:20,529
While remington
was sleeping I guess,
1610
00:58:20,631 --> 00:58:23,098
bro got up and crawled up
1611
00:58:23,167 --> 00:58:25,400
next to him
1612
00:58:25,503 --> 00:58:27,769
which is amazing to hear.
1613
00:58:29,607 --> 00:58:32,608
[nikkie speaking]
1614
00:58:34,612 --> 00:58:35,644
yeah.
1615
00:58:36,714 --> 00:58:38,580
Okay. That's...
I mean, I agree with you.
1616
00:58:38,682 --> 00:58:40,649
-[nikkie speaking]
-okay.
1617
00:58:40,751 --> 00:58:42,818
In no way shape or form
would I ever leave
1618
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:44,219
a dog or a puppy
1619
00:58:44,321 --> 00:58:45,854
if I didn't have
full confidence
1620
00:58:45,956 --> 00:58:48,056
that things could work.
1621
00:58:48,158 --> 00:58:51,260
Not only
do they have experience
1622
00:58:51,362 --> 00:58:53,295
as pit bull owners,
1623
00:58:53,397 --> 00:58:55,831
but they seemed
very respectful of the process
1624
00:58:55,933 --> 00:58:58,166
that needed to happen
with getting bro
1625
00:58:58,269 --> 00:59:00,903
possibly comfortable
with remington.
1626
00:59:01,005 --> 00:59:02,604
Yeah, just let me know
and like I said
1627
00:59:02,706 --> 00:59:04,373
if we need to come back
and it's like...
1628
00:59:04,475 --> 00:59:06,275
If something happens
and we need to come back
1629
00:59:06,377 --> 00:59:08,310
we totally can, it's not like
you guys are from us
1630
00:59:08,412 --> 00:59:10,045
it's only a few hours.
1631
00:59:10,147 --> 00:59:12,247
If a little bit of time go by
1632
00:59:12,349 --> 00:59:15,984
and he absolutely
did not wanna be there,
1633
00:59:16,086 --> 00:59:17,853
I would go pick him up
in a heartbeat.
1634
00:59:17,955 --> 00:59:19,655
I also would not
have left him there
1635
00:59:19,757 --> 00:59:22,457
and walked away if I...
1636
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:24,393
Didn't see something
1637
00:59:24,495 --> 00:59:26,328
being wonderful
and adding substance
1638
00:59:26,430 --> 00:59:29,398
to remington's life
and to bro's life.
1639
00:59:29,500 --> 00:59:31,567
Just keep me posted
and if you need anything,
1640
00:59:31,669 --> 00:59:34,303
call us and we're not
far away at all.
1641
00:59:34,405 --> 00:59:36,104
Obviously,
the family still really needs
1642
00:59:36,206 --> 00:59:37,606
to take this slow
1643
00:59:37,708 --> 00:59:39,841
and go at bro's pace.
1644
00:59:39,944 --> 00:59:42,411
But as of right now,
bro is staying with the family
1645
00:59:42,513 --> 00:59:44,746
and I will check in with them
1646
00:59:44,848 --> 00:59:46,481
a little bit in the future
and make sure
1647
00:59:46,584 --> 00:59:48,317
everything is going great.
1648
00:59:48,419 --> 00:59:50,118
[nikkie speaking]
1649
00:59:50,220 --> 00:59:51,219
all right, bye.
1650
00:59:54,592 --> 00:59:57,326
[mellow music playing]
1651
01:00:03,734 --> 01:00:07,035
bella, are you excited
to meet your little sister?
1652
01:00:07,137 --> 01:00:10,005
Mommy and daddy
wanted to get you something
1653
01:00:10,107 --> 01:00:11,173
because we wanna make sure
1654
01:00:11,275 --> 01:00:12,908
that you're included
in everything
1655
01:00:13,010 --> 01:00:14,943
that your little sister does.
1656
01:00:15,045 --> 01:00:16,211
All right.
1657
01:00:16,313 --> 01:00:18,013
Go get that from daddy.
1658
01:00:18,115 --> 01:00:19,348
And you can open it.
1659
01:00:22,286 --> 01:00:23,352
Yeah.
1660
01:00:23,454 --> 01:00:24,386
What is that?
1661
01:00:24,488 --> 01:00:25,721
[luke] it's a binder.
1662
01:00:25,823 --> 01:00:27,656
[mariah] what do you put
in there?
1663
01:00:27,758 --> 01:00:29,257
-[luke] pictures.
-Pictures, yep.
1664
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:30,692
Okay.
1665
01:00:30,761 --> 01:00:32,027
See what else is in the bag.
1666
01:00:36,867 --> 01:00:38,400
-What is that?
-[luke] a camera.
1667
01:00:38,502 --> 01:00:40,569
[mariah] it's, kind of, like,
mommy has one of this huh?
1668
01:00:40,671 --> 01:00:43,171
And when you take a picture,
the little...
1669
01:00:43,273 --> 01:00:45,240
The picture
pops out immediately
1670
01:00:45,342 --> 01:00:46,575
so we got you this
1671
01:00:46,677 --> 01:00:48,210
so that you could take
the pictures.
1672
01:00:48,312 --> 01:00:49,711
[kanani] and then
when you take the pictures,
1673
01:00:49,813 --> 01:00:50,946
you could put the pictures
1674
01:00:51,048 --> 01:00:52,347
-in your little scrapbook.
-[mariah] so you got
1675
01:00:52,449 --> 01:00:53,949
to document
of all our memories,
1676
01:00:54,051 --> 01:00:55,417
even you can start now.
1677
01:00:55,486 --> 01:00:56,518
Even before she comes.
1678
01:00:56,620 --> 01:00:57,853
You wanna take
the first picture?
1679
01:00:57,955 --> 01:00:59,187
-Yeah.
-[mariah] do you wanna take
1680
01:00:59,289 --> 01:01:00,555
-a family photo first?
-Yeah.
1681
01:01:00,658 --> 01:01:02,958
So we can put it
in the front? Okay.
1682
01:01:03,060 --> 01:01:04,459
Should bell-bell be in it?
1683
01:01:04,561 --> 01:01:06,028
All right, ready?
1684
01:01:06,130 --> 01:01:07,596
Set, go.
1685
01:01:07,698 --> 01:01:09,398
-I don't know if we...
-Is that a little mirror...
1686
01:01:09,500 --> 01:01:11,133
I don't if we all
got in there.
1687
01:01:11,235 --> 01:01:12,634
We have to see.
1688
01:01:12,736 --> 01:01:14,202
[kanani] it's gonna be
on the other side, babe.
1689
01:01:14,304 --> 01:01:16,104
[mariah] he's already
a pro. [laughs]
1690
01:01:16,206 --> 01:01:17,839
luke is really excited
1691
01:01:17,941 --> 01:01:19,207
for the baby coming
1692
01:01:19,309 --> 01:01:20,976
and he's gonna be
a really good big brother.
1693
01:01:21,078 --> 01:01:23,245
He's a great cousin
and a great friend
1694
01:01:23,347 --> 01:01:25,480
and I can just tell all
the qualities that he has.
1695
01:01:25,582 --> 01:01:28,050
He'll just be perfect
and he really accept her
1696
01:01:28,185 --> 01:01:29,351
into our family.
1697
01:01:29,453 --> 01:01:30,752
Oh, look we did all
get in there.
1698
01:01:30,854 --> 01:01:32,287
Good job, luke.
1699
01:01:32,389 --> 01:01:33,789
-[luke laughs]
-[mariah] look at his face.
1700
01:01:33,891 --> 01:01:36,224
[luke] look at bell bell,
look at bella.
1701
01:01:36,293 --> 01:01:38,293
[mariah] even though
I think he'll do fine
1702
01:01:38,395 --> 01:01:39,327
with the transition,
1703
01:01:39,430 --> 01:01:40,996
it's only then us
1704
01:01:41,098 --> 01:01:42,330
for the past eight years.
1705
01:01:42,433 --> 01:01:43,832
We're all gonna do
our handprints
1706
01:01:43,934 --> 01:01:45,200
on these little stones.
1707
01:01:45,302 --> 01:01:46,935
-[luke] yeah.
-[mariah] and then
when the baby gets here,
1708
01:01:47,037 --> 01:01:48,703
we can do her little hand
and feet print.
1709
01:01:48,772 --> 01:01:50,439
You can probably get
your feet on it too.
1710
01:01:50,541 --> 01:01:52,374
So I want to make sure
that he still knows
1711
01:01:52,476 --> 01:01:54,543
he's really special
and that she is gonna take
1712
01:01:54,645 --> 01:01:56,545
a lot of our attention
in the beginning
1713
01:01:56,647 --> 01:01:58,180
but we're not gonna forget
about him
1714
01:01:58,282 --> 01:01:59,748
and we wanna make sure
he's included
1715
01:01:59,850 --> 01:02:01,149
throughout the whole process.
1716
01:02:01,251 --> 01:02:02,684
-Ready?
-[luke] set...
1717
01:02:02,786 --> 01:02:04,686
[mariah] so when you put it
in there you gotta
hold it still.
1718
01:02:04,788 --> 01:02:06,154
Okay. I'm ready.
1719
01:02:06,256 --> 01:02:07,823
-Oh, it feels weird.
-Okay. Hold on. Hold on.
1720
01:02:07,925 --> 01:02:09,558
-It feels like sand.
-Let me push it in.
1721
01:02:09,660 --> 01:02:11,426
Slowly pick it up.
1722
01:02:13,230 --> 01:02:15,330
Oh, look at that.
1723
01:02:15,432 --> 01:02:17,265
You wanna decorate it now?
1724
01:02:17,367 --> 01:02:19,901
[luke] I'm feeling
kind of scared,
1725
01:02:20,003 --> 01:02:24,339
kind of happy,
kind of weird.
1726
01:02:24,441 --> 01:02:25,807
It's all kind...
It's really weird
1727
01:02:25,909 --> 01:02:29,811
because I never had
a baby sister or baby brother.
1728
01:02:29,913 --> 01:02:32,347
So I don't know
how it's gonna go.
1729
01:02:32,449 --> 01:02:34,015
But I know it's gonna go good.
1730
01:02:35,352 --> 01:02:37,285
-All right, we good?
-[luke] that's good.
1731
01:02:37,387 --> 01:02:40,188
[mariah] okay.
Now we gotta set it off
to the side so it'll dry.
1732
01:02:41,191 --> 01:02:42,624
You guys keep saying
you're good
1733
01:02:42,726 --> 01:02:44,593
and then you keep sticking
more on.
1734
01:02:44,695 --> 01:02:46,628
All right, one more
and that's it, both of you.
1735
01:02:46,730 --> 01:02:48,363
-[luke] okay.
-All right, we're done.
1736
01:02:48,465 --> 01:02:49,731
[kanani]
wait, you said one more.
1737
01:02:49,833 --> 01:02:50,999
That was your one more.
1738
01:02:51,101 --> 01:02:52,200
[luke] [laughs] daddy.
1739
01:02:52,302 --> 01:02:53,368
[kanani] look at that.
1740
01:02:53,470 --> 01:02:54,703
[luke] look how beautiful
that is.
1741
01:02:54,805 --> 01:02:56,271
Okay.
1742
01:02:56,373 --> 01:02:58,473
Luke, maybe you should
take pictures of us
1743
01:02:58,575 --> 01:03:00,041
doing this with your polaroid.
1744
01:03:00,144 --> 01:03:01,843
Okay, mom. I'm ready.
1745
01:03:02,913 --> 01:03:04,112
Okay. Let me see.
1746
01:03:05,549 --> 01:03:06,748
Oh, look at that.
1747
01:03:06,850 --> 01:03:08,517
[mariah] okay. Mommy
is gonna do bella's foot,
1748
01:03:08,619 --> 01:03:10,018
you wanna a take a picture
of me doing it?
1749
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:11,553
-Yeah, you...
-All right, ready?
1750
01:03:11,655 --> 01:03:13,655
[luke] wait, wait, wait, wait,
I'm gonna get a good shot.
1751
01:03:13,757 --> 01:03:16,491
-[mariah] okay, ready?
-[luke] watch, set, go.
1752
01:03:18,595 --> 01:03:20,195
[mariah] all right, bella,
we can do one more.
1753
01:03:20,297 --> 01:03:21,763
I got bella about a year
1754
01:03:21,865 --> 01:03:22,964
before I got pregnant
with luke.
1755
01:03:23,066 --> 01:03:24,599
And when luke came out,
1756
01:03:24,701 --> 01:03:26,635
she became very protective
over him
1757
01:03:26,737 --> 01:03:28,503
because she was always
very protective over me.
1758
01:03:28,605 --> 01:03:30,505
Oh, look, that one
came out good.
1759
01:03:30,607 --> 01:03:32,274
Definitely,
gonna be interesting to see
1760
01:03:32,376 --> 01:03:33,508
how she acts again
1761
01:03:33,610 --> 01:03:35,777
with another new baby
in the house.
1762
01:03:35,879 --> 01:03:37,145
Perfect. All right.
1763
01:03:37,247 --> 01:03:39,748
Mommy's is done like,
uh, belly's paw prints
1764
01:03:39,850 --> 01:03:41,483
-[luke laughs]
-bella, you're on the stone.
1765
01:03:41,585 --> 01:03:42,918
Are you mad? You're mad?
1766
01:03:43,020 --> 01:03:44,486
-She's mad.
-[luke laughs]
1767
01:03:44,588 --> 01:03:46,354
she's like,
"why do you have to do that?"
1768
01:03:47,624 --> 01:03:50,725
daddy is just making
his like perfecto.
1769
01:03:50,828 --> 01:03:52,060
[luke] oh, no.
1770
01:03:52,162 --> 01:03:53,662
My dad's going pro.
1771
01:03:53,764 --> 01:03:55,497
[kanani] I'm feeling
a little nervous right now
1772
01:03:55,566 --> 01:03:58,366
because we're so close
to having her...
1773
01:03:58,468 --> 01:04:00,202
Trying to hold it together
right now but,
1774
01:04:00,304 --> 01:04:02,103
like, I'm ready for it happen
1775
01:04:02,206 --> 01:04:03,939
but am I really
gonna be ready?
1776
01:04:04,041 --> 01:04:05,941
So I just wanna really be
on my toes.
1777
01:04:06,043 --> 01:04:08,410
[mariah] well, you gotta
make sure you gotta push.
1778
01:04:08,512 --> 01:04:09,878
-Push, daddy.
-[luke] daddy...
1779
01:04:09,980 --> 01:04:11,479
Not too much,
luke, not too much.
1780
01:04:11,582 --> 01:04:14,516
Just enough to make
a little indention.
1781
01:04:14,618 --> 01:04:16,551
-[luke] now pull it up slow.
-Okay.
1782
01:04:16,653 --> 01:04:18,553
Very slowly.
1783
01:04:18,655 --> 01:04:20,755
-Very slowly.
-Very slowly.
1784
01:04:20,858 --> 01:04:23,658
Daddy's hand almost takes
the whole stone up.
1785
01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:26,127
It was really nice to be able
to do something
1786
01:04:26,230 --> 01:04:27,662
with the family today.
1787
01:04:27,764 --> 01:04:29,231
That's a good one, daddy.
1788
01:04:29,333 --> 01:04:30,565
[kanani]
yeah, it is a good one.
1789
01:04:30,667 --> 01:04:32,367
[mariah] we have really
chaotic and busy lives
1790
01:04:32,502 --> 01:04:33,902
and we're not gonna have
a lot of free time
1791
01:04:34,004 --> 01:04:36,605
to do little things like this
once the baby comes.
1792
01:04:37,708 --> 01:04:38,940
[kanani] all right. I'm done.
1793
01:04:39,042 --> 01:04:40,742
[mariah] it's gonna be
even more hectic
1794
01:04:40,844 --> 01:04:41,943
so I really enjoyed it.
1795
01:04:42,045 --> 01:04:43,178
[like] d-a...
1796
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:44,713
Mom, look at that.
1797
01:04:44,815 --> 01:04:46,147
Look at that perfect
handwriting.
1798
01:04:46,250 --> 01:04:47,482
[mariah] no, it looks good.
1799
01:04:48,685 --> 01:04:50,418
Her little paw prints
are so cute.
1800
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:52,053
[laughs]
1801
01:04:52,155 --> 01:04:54,823
[dramatic music playing]
1802
01:05:03,166 --> 01:05:06,034
[tia] come on.
They're both so sweet.
1803
01:05:06,136 --> 01:05:07,602
[woman] come on.
1804
01:05:07,704 --> 01:05:09,037
[tia] it's been a couple
of weeks since
1805
01:05:09,139 --> 01:05:11,439
tania and I picked up
cozy and nina
1806
01:05:11,541 --> 01:05:14,209
from the kendall county
animal shelter in texas.
1807
01:05:14,311 --> 01:05:16,645
So it was kind of cute.
1808
01:05:16,747 --> 01:05:18,413
Tania's named her cozy
1809
01:05:18,515 --> 01:05:20,448
because she said the shelter
1810
01:05:20,550 --> 01:05:22,150
was in the town of comfort.
1811
01:05:22,252 --> 01:05:24,286
Comfort, texas.
1812
01:05:24,388 --> 01:05:25,954
Comfort, cozy.
1813
01:05:26,056 --> 01:05:27,055
It was cute.
1814
01:05:28,058 --> 01:05:29,391
Hi nini.
1815
01:05:29,493 --> 01:05:31,092
-[mariah t.] she's so cute.
-You look fatter now.
1816
01:05:31,194 --> 01:05:32,193
Oh, my goodness.
1817
01:05:32,296 --> 01:05:34,262
Come here. It's okay.
1818
01:05:35,632 --> 01:05:37,666
She looks a bit better
that short time.
1819
01:05:37,768 --> 01:05:39,134
Wow.
1820
01:05:40,671 --> 01:05:42,604
[tia] yeah, they look good.
1821
01:05:42,706 --> 01:05:44,539
No, she doesn't like you.
1822
01:05:44,641 --> 01:05:45,774
Oh.
1823
01:05:45,876 --> 01:05:47,208
[laughs]
1824
01:05:47,311 --> 01:05:50,946
[woman speaking]
1825
01:05:51,048 --> 01:05:53,181
-hi mom.
-[woman speaking]
1826
01:05:53,283 --> 01:05:56,551
-yes, yeah.
-[woman speaking]
1827
01:05:56,653 --> 01:05:59,120
-[tia] hmm.
-[woman speaking]
1828
01:05:59,222 --> 01:06:00,488
oh, they were?
1829
01:06:01,425 --> 01:06:02,424
Really?
1830
01:06:04,561 --> 01:06:06,361
[tia] wow.
1831
01:06:06,463 --> 01:06:07,662
And, um...
1832
01:06:11,535 --> 01:06:12,701
[tia] yeah.
1833
01:06:14,271 --> 01:06:15,704
[mariah t.] yeah,
I can see it right here.
1834
01:06:15,806 --> 01:06:17,138
[tia] yeah, she's the one
that was more nervous.
1835
01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:18,807
-[mariah t.] no, no dog.
-[tia] hot stuff.
1836
01:06:18,909 --> 01:06:20,508
-Oh, yeah.
-[woman] I mean, they were,
like, friendly.
1837
01:06:20,610 --> 01:06:22,143
It was just something
like the needle.
1838
01:06:22,245 --> 01:06:25,246
That's what lucy said too
like the dogs too.
1839
01:06:25,349 --> 01:06:26,514
[mariah t.] let's go this way.
1840
01:06:26,616 --> 01:06:28,149
[tia] so...
In getting to know more
1841
01:06:28,251 --> 01:06:29,985
about nina and cozy,
1842
01:06:30,087 --> 01:06:32,687
the two dogs got along per se
1843
01:06:32,789 --> 01:06:34,723
but not really, you know,
1844
01:06:34,825 --> 01:06:36,491
which explains now
why we had them
1845
01:06:36,593 --> 01:06:38,193
in two separate crates.
1846
01:06:38,295 --> 01:06:39,794
Nina just like
bounced right back
1847
01:06:39,896 --> 01:06:41,796
like personality-wise,
temperament-wise,
1848
01:06:41,898 --> 01:06:43,264
she was just happy-go-lucky,
1849
01:06:43,367 --> 01:06:44,599
couldn't wait
to meet everybody.
1850
01:06:44,701 --> 01:06:46,568
It's okay.
I know you're nervous.
1851
01:06:46,670 --> 01:06:47,736
She's more like traumatized,
1852
01:06:47,838 --> 01:06:48,937
like the dog's
keeps getting scared
1853
01:06:49,039 --> 01:06:50,572
-and, like, going into me.
-Yeah.
1854
01:06:50,674 --> 01:06:53,742
Cozy on the other hand is
just a little bit more shy.
1855
01:06:53,844 --> 01:06:54,943
[mariah t.]
they're both sweet.
1856
01:06:55,045 --> 01:06:56,144
Yeah, she just doesn't
like other dogs.
1857
01:06:56,246 --> 01:06:57,812
[woman] she was like
a little bit shy though.
1858
01:06:57,914 --> 01:06:59,381
[mariah t.] that's what
I'm saying. She keeps...
1859
01:06:59,483 --> 01:07:00,682
She keeps leaning
on my leg and like...
1860
01:07:00,784 --> 01:07:02,117
Yeah, she was fine.
1861
01:07:02,219 --> 01:07:04,753
[mariah t.] no pun intended
but cozy up too.
1862
01:07:05,789 --> 01:07:08,023
[tia] but the one thing
that is for sure
1863
01:07:08,158 --> 01:07:11,493
is that both dogs
cannot be placed together.
1864
01:07:11,595 --> 01:07:13,428
Yeah, next step is...
That mean they're healthy.
1865
01:07:13,530 --> 01:07:15,230
[mariah t.] yeah, they're
both heartworm negative.
1866
01:07:15,332 --> 01:07:16,998
They're both heartworm
negative, both spayed,
1867
01:07:17,067 --> 01:07:18,900
it's just a matter to finding
the right home for them,
1868
01:07:19,002 --> 01:07:20,535
-you know, because she...
-I mean, she'll be easy.
1869
01:07:20,637 --> 01:07:23,071
She'll be easy,
but she's got her age.
1870
01:07:23,173 --> 01:07:24,606
Might be a little tough.
1871
01:07:24,708 --> 01:07:27,008
So can we put her
on the senior thing then,
1872
01:07:27,110 --> 01:07:29,110
even though she doesn't
look like it but her age is.
1873
01:07:29,212 --> 01:07:30,879
-[tia] yeah.
-[mariah t.] so lisa and I
1874
01:07:30,981 --> 01:07:32,147
will get pictures of them
1875
01:07:32,249 --> 01:07:33,448
since we're on a roll
right now
1876
01:07:33,550 --> 01:07:34,983
and then we'll get
them up on the website.
1877
01:07:35,085 --> 01:07:37,052
Yeah, she'll be a little bit
tougher just because...
1878
01:07:37,154 --> 01:07:38,286
[mariah t.] not dog friendly?
1879
01:07:38,388 --> 01:07:39,554
[tia] yeah,
and she's a little bit
1880
01:07:39,656 --> 01:07:40,822
apprehensive with some people.
1881
01:07:40,924 --> 01:07:42,223
I noticed that about her.
1882
01:07:42,325 --> 01:07:43,725
Well, lisa and I can start
socializing her more.
1883
01:07:43,827 --> 01:07:45,060
[tia] she's amazing.
This little one...
1884
01:07:45,162 --> 01:07:46,494
Yeah, yeah.
1885
01:07:46,596 --> 01:07:49,330
This rescue situation
was definitely one of...
1886
01:07:49,433 --> 01:07:50,932
The ones that kind of
shocked me,
1887
01:07:51,034 --> 01:07:52,300
you know, the last time
we saw nina,
1888
01:07:52,402 --> 01:07:54,102
she was a little puppy,
1889
01:07:54,204 --> 01:07:57,739
and then to see how
she was dumped
1890
01:07:57,841 --> 01:08:00,008
along the side of this road.
1891
01:08:00,110 --> 01:08:01,810
The dogs were neglected.
1892
01:08:01,912 --> 01:08:03,611
They had had some rough times
1893
01:08:03,713 --> 01:08:06,848
before they were picked up
by the animal shelter.
1894
01:08:06,950 --> 01:08:09,217
But what happened?
1895
01:08:09,319 --> 01:08:11,853
What happened
in our adopter's life
1896
01:08:11,955 --> 01:08:13,788
that it came down to this?
1897
01:08:14,825 --> 01:08:17,492
I do believe they wanted them
to be found.
1898
01:08:17,594 --> 01:08:19,260
I just don't understand why
didn't just drive
1899
01:08:19,362 --> 01:08:22,163
a little bit further
to the animal shelter.
1900
01:08:22,265 --> 01:08:23,364
I don't know.
1901
01:08:23,467 --> 01:08:26,201
I don't know.
1902
01:08:26,303 --> 01:08:28,636
A lot of unanswered questions
1903
01:08:28,738 --> 01:08:31,706
and we may not ever
get the answers.
1904
01:08:31,808 --> 01:08:33,575
[mariah t.] come on, cozy.
1905
01:08:33,677 --> 01:08:36,077
[tia] but they're happy now.
1906
01:08:36,179 --> 01:08:38,713
And, um, next...
It's all that matters.
1907
01:08:38,815 --> 01:08:40,181
They're happy
and they're safe.
1908
01:08:40,283 --> 01:08:41,850
-[tia] all right.
-Come on, honey.
1909
01:08:44,754 --> 01:08:47,856
This is randy. We've had him
for about six years.
1910
01:08:47,958 --> 01:08:50,591
He came to us from
the assumption parish jail
1911
01:08:50,660 --> 01:08:53,161
actually when he
was around a year old.
1912
01:08:53,263 --> 01:08:55,663
Woo-hoo!
1913
01:08:55,765 --> 01:08:57,265
There we go.
1914
01:08:57,367 --> 01:08:59,601
Even though randy doesn't
get along with other dogs,
1915
01:08:59,703 --> 01:09:03,505
he is wonderful with people,
children, everyone.
1916
01:09:03,607 --> 01:09:05,140
Randy is one of the dogs
1917
01:09:05,242 --> 01:09:07,075
that's on our tours here
at villalobos,
1918
01:09:07,177 --> 01:09:10,078
so he is around new people
all day, every day
1919
01:09:10,180 --> 01:09:11,346
and he is the one of the most
1920
01:09:11,448 --> 01:09:13,314
well-behaved tour dogs
that we have.
1921
01:09:13,416 --> 01:09:15,617
If you're interested
in adopting randy,
1922
01:09:15,719 --> 01:09:17,118
any other villalobos dog,
1923
01:09:17,220 --> 01:09:18,586
or donating to villalobos,
1924
01:09:18,688 --> 01:09:21,222
go to
animalplanet.Com/pitbulls.
1925
01:09:21,324 --> 01:09:22,624
Hi, buddy.
1926
01:09:27,230 --> 01:09:29,464
[thunder rumbling]
1927
01:09:29,566 --> 01:09:31,299
[tia] we are unfortunate
1928
01:09:31,401 --> 01:09:33,168
but fortunate
at the same time
1929
01:09:33,236 --> 01:09:35,837
to have endured pretty much
1930
01:09:35,939 --> 01:09:37,839
every natural disaster
1931
01:09:37,941 --> 01:09:39,607
that mother nature
can throw at you.
1932
01:09:39,709 --> 01:09:41,509
[waves crashing]
1933
01:09:41,611 --> 01:09:42,911
[tia] yeah,
there's no way to predict
1934
01:09:43,013 --> 01:09:44,345
what this hurricanes do.
1935
01:09:44,447 --> 01:09:46,314
The weather can be so extreme
1936
01:09:46,416 --> 01:09:48,416
and at a snap of a finger.
1937
01:09:48,518 --> 01:09:51,452
[thunder rumbling]
1938
01:09:51,555 --> 01:09:53,688
[barking]
1939
01:09:53,790 --> 01:09:56,391
[mariah t.] we just keep
barely getting this
1940
01:09:56,493 --> 01:10:00,028
with hurricanes
and at some point,
1941
01:10:00,130 --> 01:10:01,896
it's not gonna miss you.
1942
01:10:01,998 --> 01:10:03,831
And this one feels like
1943
01:10:03,934 --> 01:10:06,668
it's gonna hit
and gonna hit hard.
1944
01:10:06,770 --> 01:10:10,905
[dogs barking]
1945
01:10:11,007 --> 01:10:12,507
[mariah t.] there's two
different types
of hurricanes.
1946
01:10:12,609 --> 01:10:15,009
You have flooding
or you have really high winds
1947
01:10:15,111 --> 01:10:16,911
and it's like
pick your poison.
1948
01:10:17,013 --> 01:10:18,613
[thunder rumbles]
1949
01:10:23,220 --> 01:10:25,520
[dogs barking]
1950
01:10:25,622 --> 01:10:27,222
[mariah t.] I mean,
I swam out of my house
1951
01:10:27,324 --> 01:10:30,558
during hurricane isaac
but this was intense.
1952
01:10:35,699 --> 01:10:37,966
I was trying to stay strong
1953
01:10:38,068 --> 01:10:39,500
because it was me
and, you know,
1954
01:10:39,603 --> 01:10:40,969
some of the guys
at claiborne.
1955
01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:47,108
Normally, it's the flooding
that gets really bad.
1956
01:10:47,210 --> 01:10:50,144
This one,
the wind was moving so fast,
1957
01:10:50,247 --> 01:10:51,679
it was terrifying.
1958
01:10:54,084 --> 01:10:56,484
One of the big metal fans
that are in our house
1959
01:10:56,586 --> 01:11:00,054
was moving so fast that sparks
were flying everywhere.
1960
01:11:03,093 --> 01:11:06,160
We ended up losing complete
power in the warehouse
1961
01:11:06,263 --> 01:11:07,295
during the hurricane.
1962
01:11:07,397 --> 01:11:09,230
The front of the roof here
fell off
1963
01:11:09,332 --> 01:11:12,333
and then someone
that works for us,
1964
01:11:12,435 --> 01:11:14,936
a tree fell on their roof.
1965
01:11:15,038 --> 01:11:17,505
We had a few wooden windows
1966
01:11:17,607 --> 01:11:20,642
on either side fly in through
towards the dogs.
1967
01:11:20,744 --> 01:11:21,909
It was not fun.
1968
01:11:22,012 --> 01:11:23,578
Part of the roof flew off.
1969
01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:25,680
That big beautiful iron gate,
1970
01:11:25,782 --> 01:11:27,982
the wind I guess
just speeded it up so much
1971
01:11:28,084 --> 01:11:29,784
that it just fell.
1972
01:11:29,886 --> 01:11:31,719
So I had to call my brother
in the middle of the night
1973
01:11:31,821 --> 01:11:33,788
because we can't leave that
open if a dog gets loose
1974
01:11:33,890 --> 01:11:36,224
so he had to rush over
after the storm
1975
01:11:36,326 --> 01:11:38,926
and put up just a little
temporary fence.
1976
01:11:39,029 --> 01:11:40,895
That gate
is a really staple part
1977
01:11:40,997 --> 01:11:43,564
of what people see
when they come to visit us.
1978
01:11:43,667 --> 01:11:47,502
And just having half of it
just [make sound]
1979
01:11:47,604 --> 01:11:49,337
I don't know.
I think that's how I felt.
1980
01:11:49,439 --> 01:11:51,806
I just wanted to flop over
at that point too.
1981
01:11:53,043 --> 01:11:56,144
[thunder rumbles]
1982
01:11:58,081 --> 01:11:59,414
[tia] I know we can't get
everybody here
1983
01:11:59,516 --> 01:12:00,548
at the same time,
1984
01:12:00,650 --> 01:12:02,650
which brings me up
to why I'm here.
1985
01:12:02,752 --> 01:12:05,086
I don't know what else to do
at this point
1986
01:12:05,188 --> 01:12:06,788
but something needs to change.
1987
01:12:06,890 --> 01:12:08,756
I've done some pretty extreme
things in my life
1988
01:12:08,858 --> 01:12:11,092
but this is another...
One of those extreme ideas.
1989
01:12:16,166 --> 01:12:19,167
[dramatic music playing]
1990
01:12:24,507 --> 01:12:26,007
[sirens blaring]
1991
01:12:28,945 --> 01:12:31,946
[dramatic music playing]
1992
01:12:42,525 --> 01:12:44,659
[tia] this last storm,
this last hurricane
1993
01:12:44,761 --> 01:12:47,428
did actually hit new orleans.
1994
01:12:52,102 --> 01:12:55,236
The main building itself
handled it.
1995
01:12:56,606 --> 01:12:57,605
Wow.
1996
01:12:59,142 --> 01:13:02,243
We did have
some outside damage.
1997
01:13:02,345 --> 01:13:05,346
We had some kennels
get ripped out of the ground,
1998
01:13:05,448 --> 01:13:07,415
twisted around like pretzels,
1999
01:13:07,517 --> 01:13:09,717
which is to be expected.
2000
01:13:09,819 --> 01:13:11,552
Oh, my god.
2001
01:13:11,654 --> 01:13:15,456
The thing that really hit home
2002
01:13:15,558 --> 01:13:17,392
and it was kind of emotional
was seeing
2003
01:13:17,494 --> 01:13:19,994
that our big,
black wrought iron gates,
2004
01:13:20,096 --> 01:13:21,596
you know,
the villalobos gates.
2005
01:13:21,698 --> 01:13:24,632
The infamous villalobos gates
got ripped to pieces,
2006
01:13:24,734 --> 01:13:27,468
you know, and half of them
got blown away.
2007
01:13:27,570 --> 01:13:30,138
My god.
2008
01:13:30,240 --> 01:13:31,773
It bothered me
seeing the gate like that,
2009
01:13:31,875 --> 01:13:33,374
like it wasn't
like a severe thing,
2010
01:13:33,476 --> 01:13:35,910
it wasn't like everything
was mangled
2011
01:13:36,012 --> 01:13:39,847
and just, you know, unfixable
but that's like us, right?
2012
01:13:39,949 --> 01:13:41,949
That represents us,
that big black gate.
2013
01:13:42,051 --> 01:13:43,451
That bothered me.
2014
01:13:43,553 --> 01:13:48,055
And it's kind of not...
It's not setting with me well.
2015
01:13:48,158 --> 01:13:52,427
I don't know
if it's a sign for something
2016
01:13:52,529 --> 01:13:53,995
but it's got me thinking.
2017
01:13:57,133 --> 01:14:00,334
After being at this location
for about 10 years now,
2018
01:14:00,437 --> 01:14:05,173
I mean, it has been home
to us, to the dogs,
2019
01:14:05,275 --> 01:14:07,775
to the employees,
to the parolees.
2020
01:14:07,877 --> 01:14:09,510
But that being said,
2021
01:14:09,612 --> 01:14:11,579
[sighs] it's getting hard.
2022
01:14:11,681 --> 01:14:13,014
It's getting hard
being there.
2023
01:14:14,751 --> 01:14:18,319
Between the weather,
getting...
2024
01:14:18,421 --> 01:14:20,221
It feels
like it's getting more severe.
2025
01:14:20,323 --> 01:14:22,056
There's a lot of repairs
to make.
2026
01:14:22,158 --> 01:14:23,791
There's a lot
of reconstruction
2027
01:14:23,893 --> 01:14:25,026
that needs to be done.
2028
01:14:25,128 --> 01:14:28,296
So something needs to change.
2029
01:14:28,398 --> 01:14:30,965
Not quite sure what yet
but something needs to change.
2030
01:14:36,439 --> 01:14:39,440
[country music playing]
2031
01:14:47,350 --> 01:14:49,016
[ringing]
2032
01:14:49,118 --> 01:14:51,586
-hi there.
-Hi. How are you guys?
2033
01:14:51,688 --> 01:14:53,254
-[nikkie] we're all right.
-[fitz] we're all right.
2034
01:14:53,356 --> 01:14:54,956
[mariah t. ] so bro has been
living with the family
2035
01:14:55,058 --> 01:14:56,491
for a little while now.
2036
01:14:56,593 --> 01:14:58,759
And we wanted to do
a skype call
2037
01:14:58,862 --> 01:15:01,262
and just see how everything
is going.
2038
01:15:01,364 --> 01:15:04,165
How have things been? How did
things start adjusting?
2039
01:15:25,121 --> 01:15:27,288
Well, first of all, as soon
as I opened the video,
2040
01:15:27,390 --> 01:15:30,157
remington and... His name
is steel now, not bro.
2041
01:15:30,260 --> 01:15:32,960
Both of them are loose
and bro's body language
2042
01:15:33,062 --> 01:15:35,062
was so comfortable
with remington.
2043
01:15:35,164 --> 01:15:37,865
And that's what I was hoping
to see.
2044
01:15:37,934 --> 01:15:39,534
Does steel play
with remington now
2045
01:15:39,636 --> 01:15:41,168
or is he still
like getting adjusted?
2046
01:15:42,872 --> 01:15:46,140
I'm glad we made
that decision to...
2047
01:15:46,242 --> 01:15:48,276
Good for you guys
for sticking it out.
2048
01:15:48,378 --> 01:15:49,911
[laughs]
2049
01:15:50,013 --> 01:15:51,512
I am really glad
2050
01:15:51,614 --> 01:15:54,649
that family had the experience
that they had,
2051
01:15:54,751 --> 01:15:58,085
so that we got to make
a decision that we did.
2052
01:15:58,187 --> 01:15:59,554
Are you guys happy
and comfortable
2053
01:15:59,656 --> 01:16:02,023
with the decisions?
2054
01:16:02,125 --> 01:16:03,858
Good.
I see her shaking her head.
2055
01:16:03,960 --> 01:16:05,326
[laughs]
2056
01:16:05,428 --> 01:16:07,662
I wouldn't have been able
to just leave bro
2057
01:16:07,764 --> 01:16:11,032
in that situation to try
with just any adopters.
2058
01:16:11,134 --> 01:16:12,934
And they really knew
what they were doing
2059
01:16:13,036 --> 01:16:15,703
and thankfully,
we all took a chance
2060
01:16:15,805 --> 01:16:17,238
and decided to just try it
2061
01:16:17,340 --> 01:16:20,975
because now bro...
Steel and remington
2062
01:16:21,077 --> 01:16:23,344
can live their lives
happily together
2063
01:16:23,446 --> 01:16:26,514
and hopefully bring happiness
to the family.
2064
01:16:26,616 --> 01:16:29,216
I am a so glad
that everything worked out
2065
01:16:29,319 --> 01:16:30,384
the way that it did.
2066
01:16:34,691 --> 01:16:36,757
Oh, my gosh. [laughs].
2067
01:16:36,859 --> 01:16:38,859
I had a feeling
things would get better,
2068
01:16:38,962 --> 01:16:40,928
you know, um,
and it was worth a try
2069
01:16:41,030 --> 01:16:42,563
and it worked out.
2070
01:16:42,665 --> 01:16:44,966
The little girls, they were
so excited that he stayed
2071
01:16:45,068 --> 01:16:47,702
and hearing that he's going
down the slides with them,
2072
01:16:47,804 --> 01:16:50,104
it's just that all-american
thing in your head
2073
01:16:50,206 --> 01:16:53,140
of little girls running around
with their pit bulls
2074
01:16:53,242 --> 01:16:54,709
and... I don't know.
2075
01:16:54,811 --> 01:16:57,244
It's a pretty cute adoption
for me
2076
01:16:57,347 --> 01:16:58,913
and I'm really glad
I got to do it.
2077
01:16:59,015 --> 01:17:01,315
Well, good night, girls.
Have fun with your brothers.
2078
01:17:03,219 --> 01:17:04,585
Bye, guys.
2079
01:17:04,687 --> 01:17:06,287
Sweet steel.
2080
01:17:06,389 --> 01:17:07,888
[laughter]
2081
01:17:09,592 --> 01:17:12,593
[suspense music playing]
2082
01:17:22,105 --> 01:17:24,238
[tia]
I don't look at the storms
2083
01:17:24,340 --> 01:17:27,174
and the hurricane season
2084
01:17:27,276 --> 01:17:30,511
and having near misses as,
"wow, we're on borrowed time."
2085
01:17:30,613 --> 01:17:33,814
I look at it as like,
"wow, thank you mother nature
2086
01:17:33,916 --> 01:17:35,683
for giving us a break."
2087
01:17:35,785 --> 01:17:38,185
okay. I know we can't get
everybody here
2088
01:17:38,287 --> 01:17:39,787
at the same time.
2089
01:17:39,889 --> 01:17:42,189
Everybody's in different
locations.
2090
01:17:42,291 --> 01:17:44,592
[man] yeah, yeah,
they're all over the place.
2091
01:17:44,694 --> 01:17:46,794
Which brings me up
to why I'm here.
2092
01:17:46,929 --> 01:17:48,429
[man speaking]
2093
01:17:50,166 --> 01:17:52,967
quite the opposite actually.
2094
01:17:53,069 --> 01:17:56,037
We knew what we signed up for
when we moved here.
2095
01:17:56,139 --> 01:18:00,074
It's home for our dogs,
it's home for us.
2096
01:18:00,176 --> 01:18:02,777
You know, I don't know
what else to do at this point
2097
01:18:02,879 --> 01:18:05,546
but something needs to change.
2098
01:18:05,648 --> 01:18:07,448
I've done some pretty extreme
things in my life
2099
01:18:07,550 --> 01:18:10,518
but this another...
One of those extreme ideas.
2100
01:18:10,620 --> 01:18:12,820
So I've decided
that once again,
2101
01:18:12,922 --> 01:18:16,390
we are going to move.
2102
01:18:24,067 --> 01:18:26,033
So I've decided
that once again,
2103
01:18:26,135 --> 01:18:29,804
we are going to move.
2104
01:18:29,906 --> 01:18:33,140
[man] what?
Like the whole building move?
2105
01:18:33,242 --> 01:18:34,875
Don't everybody attack me
at once.
2106
01:18:34,977 --> 01:18:36,143
-[laughs]
-[man] like move...
2107
01:18:36,245 --> 01:18:39,213
I believe in signs, I do.
2108
01:18:39,348 --> 01:18:40,781
And I think for me,
2109
01:18:40,883 --> 01:18:44,452
it was watching our gate
get ripped off the hinges.
2110
01:18:44,554 --> 01:18:46,554
And I don't mean
that because of, like...
2111
01:18:46,656 --> 01:18:48,689
Because of the weather.
2112
01:18:48,791 --> 01:18:50,758
I mean, it was just
like someone was saying,
2113
01:18:50,860 --> 01:18:53,894
"come on, let's start tearing
this down."
2114
01:18:53,996 --> 01:18:55,963
she served you well, you know.
2115
01:18:56,065 --> 01:18:57,331
So what I'm doing is this.
2116
01:18:57,433 --> 01:19:00,167
Um, you learn from the past
2117
01:19:00,269 --> 01:19:01,969
and having this warehouse
even though...
2118
01:19:02,071 --> 01:19:03,771
It's been here for us.
2119
01:19:03,840 --> 01:19:05,406
We can consolidate.
2120
01:19:05,508 --> 01:19:08,342
I've been scoping out
different locations.
2121
01:19:08,444 --> 01:19:09,877
We need to consolidate.
2122
01:19:09,979 --> 01:19:12,747
I want... Our other smaller
little locations that we have
2123
01:19:12,849 --> 01:19:14,281
all under one roof.
2124
01:19:14,383 --> 01:19:17,151
I want the employees
to be more together.
2125
01:19:17,253 --> 01:19:20,121
I want to get us
on higher ground
2126
01:19:20,223 --> 01:19:22,056
to address the flooding.
2127
01:19:22,158 --> 01:19:25,359
And we need to feel
like we're safer now.
2128
01:19:25,461 --> 01:19:27,294
We need to feel
like our dogs are safer.
2129
01:19:27,396 --> 01:19:31,265
So I have to believe the new
villalobos rescue center
2130
01:19:31,367 --> 01:19:32,666
is out there somewhere.
2131
01:19:32,769 --> 01:19:35,302
And I'm actively trying
to find the right place.
2132
01:19:35,404 --> 01:19:36,971
-[man] I'm ready to move.
-I know.
2133
01:19:37,073 --> 01:19:39,106
Trust me,
I've been thinkin'
2134
01:19:39,208 --> 01:19:40,775
and it's like we're
just sitting here, you know.
2135
01:19:40,843 --> 01:19:41,942
And it's like between here
2136
01:19:42,044 --> 01:19:43,778
and then dealing
with the stuff at assumption,
2137
01:19:43,880 --> 01:19:46,280
-with dulce, and then texas.
-We can put all that bull
[bleep] under one roof.
2138
01:19:46,382 --> 01:19:47,381
Yeah.
2139
01:19:48,618 --> 01:19:51,752
I want this move to be...
2140
01:19:51,854 --> 01:19:53,053
Exciting,
2141
01:19:54,423 --> 01:19:55,890
new times ahead.
2142
01:19:55,992 --> 01:19:58,092
Is it gonna be stressful?
Yes.
2143
01:19:58,194 --> 01:20:01,929
But number one are the dogs.
2144
01:20:02,031 --> 01:20:05,800
We have to do better for them.
2145
01:20:05,902 --> 01:20:08,335
And then secondly,
is the employees.
2146
01:20:08,437 --> 01:20:10,938
I need to give them
a better working environment,
2147
01:20:11,040 --> 01:20:12,673
a safer working environment.
2148
01:20:14,210 --> 01:20:18,879
Moving an organization
as large as ours
2149
01:20:18,981 --> 01:20:20,815
is gonna be a lot of work.
2150
01:20:20,917 --> 01:20:23,317
I know because
I've already done it once.
2151
01:20:23,419 --> 01:20:27,354
Um, so that being said,
2152
01:20:27,456 --> 01:20:29,456
I would not be doing it
2153
01:20:29,559 --> 01:20:33,694
if it wasn't for
the betterment of everybody.
2154
01:20:33,796 --> 01:20:35,896
And that's what I'm doing
this for,
2155
01:20:35,998 --> 01:20:38,365
to make it better
for everybody.
2156
01:20:38,467 --> 01:20:40,334
-That's it.
-That's some good news.
2157
01:20:40,436 --> 01:20:42,436
-That's it.
-Yeah.
2158
01:20:42,538 --> 01:20:43,437
Back to work.
2159
01:20:43,539 --> 01:20:44,638
We had to close down
our restaurant,
2160
01:20:44,740 --> 01:20:46,807
we had to close down our shop,
our retail shop.
2161
01:20:46,909 --> 01:20:49,443
I mean, it's...
Everything's gone.
2162
01:20:49,545 --> 01:20:52,012
And to be able to have
everything together,
2163
01:20:52,114 --> 01:20:55,182
to be able to share that with
our supporters, our donors,
2164
01:20:55,284 --> 01:20:56,717
I want that feeling,
2165
01:20:56,819 --> 01:21:01,355
especially in times like now,
with covid,
2166
01:21:01,457 --> 01:21:04,191
just with everything.
It's...
2167
01:21:04,293 --> 01:21:06,794
There's a lot of unhappiness
in the country right now.
2168
01:21:06,896 --> 01:21:08,863
And I want to create a place
2169
01:21:08,965 --> 01:21:11,131
that when people walk
through the gates,
2170
01:21:11,234 --> 01:21:13,834
they forget
the rest of the world exists.
2171
01:21:13,936 --> 01:21:15,069
And it's just...
2172
01:21:16,939 --> 01:21:18,839
Doggy happiness.
2173
01:21:18,941 --> 01:21:21,108
In moving wherever it is,
2174
01:21:21,210 --> 01:21:23,844
it's gonna be for
the betterment of the dogs
2175
01:21:23,946 --> 01:21:26,847
and the people
of villalobos rescue center.
2176
01:21:28,050 --> 01:21:29,884
We have to do...
2177
01:21:29,986 --> 01:21:33,354
I have to do something better
for these dogs
2178
01:21:33,456 --> 01:21:35,122
and our employees.
2179
01:21:35,224 --> 01:21:36,690
It's my responsibility.
2180
01:21:40,897 --> 01:21:43,864
[dramatic music playing]
