00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:23.280
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate that I'm talking about stuff about being over fifty.

7
00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:27.719
<v Speaker 2>Things I'm thinking about. You might be two, but this show,

8
00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:29.320
<v Speaker 2>I want to make us so clear. I want to

9
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:32.560
<v Speaker 2>make this show clear doesn't know as you get older.

10
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:37.240
<v Speaker 2>I want to make this clear about the show. It's

11
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:40.880
<v Speaker 2>for anybody fifty plus, but those are for anybody under

12
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:44.439
<v Speaker 2>fifty who want to know kind of like what we're

13
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:46.359
<v Speaker 2>going through and what you might be going through to

14
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:48.799
<v Speaker 2>you when you reach our age, or if you have

15
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:52.280
<v Speaker 2>someone in your life, a parent, older sibling, older friend,

16
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:55.200
<v Speaker 2>you want to understand more because I'm talking about things

17
00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:57.240
<v Speaker 2>that affect us, but some things we affect us are

18
00:00:57.359 --> 00:00:58.719
<v Speaker 2>universal at any age.

19
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:01.280
<v Speaker 1>But I use you have a spin of like.

20
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:05.719
<v Speaker 2>How it is this age I'm telling you next went

21
00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:09.040
<v Speaker 2>to me fifty six, and so I'm really in my

22
00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:11.239
<v Speaker 2>fifties head towards sixties.

23
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:12.640
<v Speaker 1>So I mean I have fifty.

24
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:16.280
<v Speaker 2>Plus and I and I was thinking about this subject

25
00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:21.599
<v Speaker 2>today because today we lost well, yesterday, my mom's dog,

26
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:22.480
<v Speaker 2>Lucy passed away.

27
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you know this was already online. He fought me online.

28
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:28.640
<v Speaker 2>She was my mother officially my mother and my late

29
00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:32.079
<v Speaker 2>stepfather's dog, the last dog they got together in twenty

30
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:32.680
<v Speaker 2>twenty two.

31
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:35.200
<v Speaker 1>He died beginning in twenty twenty three.

32
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:38.599
<v Speaker 2>So for most of twenty twenty three, because my mother

33
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:41.480
<v Speaker 2>got sick and almost died, I was taking care of Lucy.

34
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:44.120
<v Speaker 2>This is my brother so wet, but it was at

35
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:46.920
<v Speaker 2>her house and I had a chance to bring her

36
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:48.560
<v Speaker 2>over here. I've been wanting to bring over to this

37
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:50.920
<v Speaker 2>house for so long. I thought we had many years.

38
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:54.239
<v Speaker 2>She's only nine years old and seemingly healthy, so I

39
00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:56.959
<v Speaker 2>thought we had a million years ahead of us. Because

40
00:01:56.959 --> 00:01:58.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm figuring I want to bring her over here and

41
00:01:58.120 --> 00:01:59.799
<v Speaker 2>how I hang out becuse I they gonna go sleepovers.

42
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:03.079
<v Speaker 2>But we, you know, the three of us, my brother

43
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:05.000
<v Speaker 2>and I my mother were taken care of Lucy for

44
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:10.400
<v Speaker 2>most of the last two years three years, and so she's.

45
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:13.400
<v Speaker 1>Not officially my dog, but we were close to her.

46
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:18.400
<v Speaker 2>But she's officially my mother's dog, and she helped my mom,

47
00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:22.520
<v Speaker 2>who is almost seventy five, got her to walk, got

48
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:26.000
<v Speaker 2>to walk around the block, says at energy exercise, and

49
00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:28.759
<v Speaker 2>kept her going. And I want to bring this up

50
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:31.080
<v Speaker 2>to people who would be listening under fifty, and those

51
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:35.840
<v Speaker 2>are on fifty. If you're a parent or an older

52
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:39.599
<v Speaker 2>friend or whoever can still grandparents can still move and

53
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:44.800
<v Speaker 2>still do stuff on their own, sometimes an animal is

54
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:48.960
<v Speaker 2>the best bet for them. My mother already decided we

55
00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:51.199
<v Speaker 2>were so glad she because we were designed as too

56
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:57.719
<v Speaker 2>that once lose. We found Lucy got. Lucy got sickly fast.

57
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.520
<v Speaker 2>She stopped eating about two weeks ago, so I getting sick.

58
00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:04.319
<v Speaker 2>We found she had renal failure and then she not

59
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:08.639
<v Speaker 2>so but we were talking as she was dying. We

60
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:11.840
<v Speaker 2>were saying how my mom said I want another dog

61
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:18.919
<v Speaker 2>when our original dog Scrabble died. There were some years

62
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:20.879
<v Speaker 2>went by and we were really moaning while so that

63
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:23.919
<v Speaker 2>my mother and her husband Moses were like, we're kind

64
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:26.879
<v Speaker 2>of sitting around like we like having it. We like

65
00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:29.840
<v Speaker 2>having dogs. There's dogs they need your ready need you.

66
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:34.319
<v Speaker 2>And so they got Jerry. It only lasted a short time.

67
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:36.039
<v Speaker 2>I think it only lasts like a year or two.

68
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:41.639
<v Speaker 2>Then he died and then right away they were like uh,

69
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:45.360
<v Speaker 2>we want another dog. They got Lucy, actually named Lucy,

70
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:48.680
<v Speaker 2>that was my name. He gave her the rest all rescues.

71
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:55.560
<v Speaker 2>We always do rescues. So for an older person who

72
00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:59.639
<v Speaker 2>doesn't work, who's retired, doesn't wan anybody to live with them,

73
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:02.560
<v Speaker 2>she wants to live with her, uh she was. She

74
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:05.680
<v Speaker 2>wants to live on her own. Then at least having

75
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:08.680
<v Speaker 2>a dog. And these these these are all small chiaha dogs,

76
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:12.240
<v Speaker 2>small dogs. Have a dog that gives her a reason

77
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:15.919
<v Speaker 2>to get up, take the dog outside, a dimp You know,

78
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:17.839
<v Speaker 2>these things gives you a reason to do feet. I'm

79
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:22.120
<v Speaker 2>gives reason to do stuff. And I would believe that

80
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:26.199
<v Speaker 2>all sorts of great therapy. This is animal who just

81
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:29.439
<v Speaker 2>loves you, unconditionally around you. Oh, there's morning and loss

82
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:31.120
<v Speaker 2>for her husband, and morning the loss of a lot

83
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:36.879
<v Speaker 2>of her just freedoms and lives. Animals are expensive and

84
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:39.199
<v Speaker 2>there are a lot of work. But here's someone will

85
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:41.079
<v Speaker 2>give you a little different and I like us. Another angle

86
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:45.879
<v Speaker 2>to this, my mother's will. We sety five in June

87
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:53.360
<v Speaker 2>and she's in at the greatest hell. She's okay, but

88
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:56.279
<v Speaker 2>since she almost died two years ago, and there's still

89
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:59.920
<v Speaker 2>some health issues here and there we know that are natural.

90
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:04.959
<v Speaker 1>She could go in another five, ten, fifteen years.

91
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:07.759
<v Speaker 2>And I said seventy five fifteen years is ninety. So

92
00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:11.040
<v Speaker 2>if she lives to ninety, that's a super blessing, right,

93
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:12.639
<v Speaker 2>But we gotta be realistic.

94
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:16.160
<v Speaker 1>She may not. She may. We know they do.

95
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:19.720
<v Speaker 2>My family don't live that long, so just in generally

96
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:23.439
<v Speaker 2>just they usually don't. But Moses, who is not my

97
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:27.040
<v Speaker 2>blood relation, obviously her husband, he lived to almost eighty.

98
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:31.519
<v Speaker 2>He was born in thirty six, died in twenty three.

99
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:35.639
<v Speaker 2>He was almost eighty five, but he was he was.

100
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:37.759
<v Speaker 1>His eighties when he lived.

101
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:40.160
<v Speaker 2>But I'm trying to put a jeeps to my MoMA,

102
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:41.839
<v Speaker 2>and they decided to say that this kind of going

103
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:44.040
<v Speaker 2>by genetics and what we've seen before, and she could

104
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:45.000
<v Speaker 2>totally surpass it.

105
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:46.680
<v Speaker 1>We have to be realistic.

106
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:48.000
<v Speaker 2>Now, that's one of the things you get in your

107
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:51.160
<v Speaker 2>when you get fifty plus, if you have any parents left,

108
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:54.399
<v Speaker 2>you start grandparent and you start to rerealistic. Look at

109
00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:58.480
<v Speaker 2>the time they may have left with us. If the

110
00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:03.040
<v Speaker 2>natural order of things happen is toll your truth. The

111
00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:06.680
<v Speaker 2>oldest person doesn't always die first. I've seen it happen

112
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:10.839
<v Speaker 2>manion times. So but just me, just mean we're aware

113
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:15.279
<v Speaker 2>of our mortality. Add a dog to it. Because the

114
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:17.319
<v Speaker 2>last couple of dogs we got were rescues. There were

115
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:21.279
<v Speaker 2>mid level. Because it's only nine. I think Jerry was

116
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:23.879
<v Speaker 2>like in ten or eleven, so they're a little older.

117
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:27.480
<v Speaker 2>There are rescues. We don't know everything about them. Scrabble.

118
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:29.720
<v Speaker 2>We asked grabb what he was a friend's dog we

119
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:34.360
<v Speaker 2>got from birth, and he lived a long time, seventeen sixteen,

120
00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:38.519
<v Speaker 2>seventeen years, sixteen years, So that's the question. My brother

121
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:39.879
<v Speaker 2>and I are like, okay, we don't have animals at

122
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:44.879
<v Speaker 2>our house. We don't have dogs. That's a big responsibility, right,

123
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:48.319
<v Speaker 2>And I went if I were saying, if my mother

124
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:50.319
<v Speaker 2>gets a dog, she can see a dog next week.

125
00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:56.319
<v Speaker 2>And if we don't get a rescue and just get

126
00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:02.600
<v Speaker 2>get a a dog from somewhere, it's a baby sixteen

127
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:06.040
<v Speaker 2>years from now, it's ninety. Also, it's like, oh my god,

128
00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:07.639
<v Speaker 2>which means i'd be.

129
00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:10.399
<v Speaker 1>In my seventies, Jared. I mean it's like sixties.

130
00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:14.560
<v Speaker 2>Were thought them, like if she passes, do I want

131
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:16.040
<v Speaker 2>to take care of an animal.

132
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:19.639
<v Speaker 1>In my seventies? Okay?

133
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:21.639
<v Speaker 2>Or you know it's sixties, like do I want to do.

134
00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:23.560
<v Speaker 2>I want to do that, Like, I don't know. It's

135
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:24.920
<v Speaker 2>a lot of worry with cats. There are a lot

136
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:27.839
<v Speaker 2>of work with litter boxes and stuff. So and I

137
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:29.560
<v Speaker 2>love animals and I just love them. But I'm a

138
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:32.800
<v Speaker 2>big plant person. I'm big, you know, and so chances

139
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:34.160
<v Speaker 2>are and people are like, well you always get really

140
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:34.480
<v Speaker 2>dog like.

141
00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:35.399
<v Speaker 1>No, of course I give it.

142
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:37.720
<v Speaker 2>If my mother passed away in five years and the

143
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:40.160
<v Speaker 2>dog is gonna, know me, my brother, I'm not gonna

144
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:42.759
<v Speaker 2>just give her a cankey rid of her. I gotta

145
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:45.480
<v Speaker 2>take her in so we'd have it to take care

146
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:47.120
<v Speaker 2>of dogs. So it's like you just can't do that.

147
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:49.680
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know.

148
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:52.160
<v Speaker 1>It's it's they're protoconsole the whole thing.

149
00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:55.240
<v Speaker 2>But that's the thing something I never thought about before

150
00:07:56.079 --> 00:08:00.360
<v Speaker 2>under fifty, but over it's like, oh, well, if you

151
00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:05.759
<v Speaker 2>get her this, how long will it last? That's something you.

152
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:08.160
<v Speaker 2>So I think about you and I as we fixed.

153
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:10.639
<v Speaker 2>We also got our roof fixed. And I'm saying we're

154
00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:14.680
<v Speaker 2>paying this over twenty years, twenty and forty months. Well,

155
00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:18.360
<v Speaker 2>twenty years from now, I'll be seventy six. Twenty years

156
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:19.600
<v Speaker 2>now should be ninety five.

157
00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:21.800
<v Speaker 1>My mom.

158
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:24.839
<v Speaker 2>So again, if she's still here. I mean, that's just

159
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:28.879
<v Speaker 2>like that's our house, one of our houses.

160
00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:37.320
<v Speaker 3>If we continue, we'll be paid off because it's because

161
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:38.639
<v Speaker 3>one of our houses is done it like a like

162
00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:39.960
<v Speaker 3>thirteen or fourteen years.

163
00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:45.399
<v Speaker 1>So I got some ideas in place for that. I'm

164
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:46.399
<v Speaker 1>unprepared a little bit.

165
00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:48.720
<v Speaker 2>But again, these are the things you think about when

166
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:52.159
<v Speaker 2>you're fifty plus. Now some people, if you're smart, you

167
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:54.159
<v Speaker 2>should think of so I take it. Take this to

168
00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:57.559
<v Speaker 2>take away. If you're under fifty, think about it now,

169
00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:03.759
<v Speaker 2>Like that's my message. I always rented. I always was

170
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:06.039
<v Speaker 2>renting from somebody. I didn't own anything, and then I

171
00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:10.360
<v Speaker 2>owned something later. But I never thought about the future,

172
00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:14.000
<v Speaker 2>for the giant future, like when I'm in my golden years,

173
00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:18.000
<v Speaker 2>if I make it that kind of thing. But now

174
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm in the golden years, so to speak, beginning of them.

175
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:22.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, oh, yeah, I got something about this stuff.

176
00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:25.840
<v Speaker 2>Don't stress your stuff out, of course, but just like

177
00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:29.080
<v Speaker 2>you just really just the younger you figure some stuff out,

178
00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:31.799
<v Speaker 2>the better you offer you'll be. I think it's there

179
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:35.360
<v Speaker 2>too late obviously, so that's why you know I'm got it.

180
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:39.639
<v Speaker 1>But it's a it's it's all a trip folks. It's

181
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:41.360
<v Speaker 1>like you're moving along.

182
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:44.200
<v Speaker 2>You think all the time in the world, then you

183
00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:48.600
<v Speaker 2>click over fifty and you realize you don't. We're not

184
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:51.120
<v Speaker 2>getting out of here live. That's just not how that works.

185
00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:55.000
<v Speaker 2>So I get at so I do, and so I

186
00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:59.799
<v Speaker 2>think that's what it is. I don't know, but again, thanks

187
00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:02.320
<v Speaker 2>for the seats to the show. I love sharing my

188
00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:06.240
<v Speaker 2>thoughts with people and you share yours. Fifty pluses on
