Very rarely do I like to talk about salacious stuff. That's a lie important salacious stuff I like to talk about but things that are pop culture very rarely do I like to break it up or or talk about it. But there was something interesting that happened. Last week leading into this week between Melissa Ford who's a participant in a joe button podcast and Cameron who has his own podcast with Mace called it is what it is in which. Cameron and Mace were talking about a past incident where they basically had sexual relations with a young lady in a whorehouse and Melissa Ford commented about that story saying are you sure that she was of age implying that they could have been under age. Um, this set cameron off because in today's climate to accuse somebody not in today's climate in any climate to accuse somebody of being a pedophile which I believe is the worst crime that there is the worst the most horrific act. And life I believe is peedophilia um leave the kids alone but to accuse somebody of that is a very very serious crime and she did it flippantly. Um, there was no cause for.
02:18.10
Bruce Anthony
Her to say that based on the story that Cameron and Mace told she apologized and cameron. You know when somebody apologizes to you. You don't have to show them Grace. It's good to do it I tend to show people grace when they apologize because I know how difficult it is to apologize. Cameron won't go show her any grace and Cameron did what he did. He went on his Instagram live and attacked her for something that she was wrong about you know accuse somebody of being a pedophile flippantly. That's just not something that you should ever. Do. Ah, you shouldn't accuse anybody of anything of any serious crime flippantly. Um, that's the reason why they have such laws like um, you know and ah.
03:12.15
Bruce Anthony
Such laws like slander right? like you can't just say whatever you want to say about any anybody you can't do that So She apologized cameron is not given her grace and I'm actually on his side look you don't have to give everybody grace What she said was uncalled for it. It's. Absolutely great that she apologized but people got to be careful, but what? ah what they say and do I know that from having this podcast I don't just flippantly throw out accusations I make jokes but not serious accusations without having some evidence or some proof to back up. Whatever I'm saying so.
03:49.35
Bruce Anthony
For a lot of people that are out there during podcasts just be careful. You know if you're gonna go out there and speak and have channels and Youtube and the joe button podcast is very very popular. Um, they talk about events that are going on the society and pop culture. Sometimes you're gonna wade into some dangerous territory. I enjoy the show so keep doing what you're doing Joe button keep doing what you're doing cameron and Mace but let's just be careful not to hurt other people that are doing the same thing as you and be careful what you say about people today's show want to put some humor in it and I'm sure I'll try and find some humor in it. But this first topic that we're gonna talk about here is a topic I had Daniel a mathiesin on earlier this year I'm talking about abortion and um, you know she's she's a. A doctor and you know ever ever since. Roe v weight was and overturned and all of these states started putting these abortion bans. We've seen some really. Bad situations and then we've seen some really good situations when lawmakers decide to put it on the ballot. We've seen overwhelmingly that people support abortion rights. That's the reason why most politicians don't want to put it on the ballot because they don't want to give the people the voice right now going on in Texas there's a.
05:18.11
Bruce Anthony
Case with Katie Cox and she's suing the state of Texas to be able to have an abortion. So Katie Cox is a 31 year old mother of 2 from the Dallas Area of course she's involved in ah and a lawsuit against the state of Texas over restrictive abortion rights. She is currently twenty weeks pregnant with a feta is diagnosed with. I'm going to butcher this but bear with me tries to me 18 um, her physicians told her they couldn't perform an abortion as long as the baby had a heartbeat due to the state abortion band she has visited. She has visited the emergency room 4 times due to pain and discharge. She got a temporary rest restraining order. Ah no, a temporary restraining order was granted allowing her to terminate a pregnancy but the Texas Supreme Court Put A a hold on the ruling so they could review the case what is tris to me 18 I think that's important to distinguish what it is that this baby has and the reason why she is seeking an abortion. So. It's a it's known as the edwards syndrome which I am going to use now for a here on out calling it. the edwards syndrome um it's known as the edwards syndrome as a fear it's a severe genetic condition caused by. Ah, presence of a third copy of all or part of a chromosome of of a chromosome eighteen what is that chromosome eighteen I don't know but it's not good. Symptoms include a low birth weight multiple birth defects and defining physical characteristics. So it's not quite down syndrome.
06:52.67
Bruce Anthony
But ah, if for layman terms. It's similar to that. Um, the the condition is diagnosed being ultrasound during pregnancy and confirmed by doctors. There's no cure for edwards syndrome and most cases do not last the full pregnancy and result and still births. Ah. This edwards syndrome occurs in around one and five Thousand Five Thousand live bursts. So what does that mean? Edward Syndrome is going to cause it's causing Katie Paxon complications within her own body like I said she's been to the emergency room 4 times and been discharged and um. That is the state attorney's basis for not allowing this abortion I'll get to Texas state ah state attorney in just a moment but we want focus on Katie and and her baby and what's going on here. She already has two kids. She obviously didn't want. To have an abortion but the baby is either going to die in the womb or only survive a couple of days after it's given birth and also if she continues on with this pregnancy. It can further complicate her. Ever being able to have kids in the future. So with that information given out to you folks obviously no matter what abortion ban is out there. You would say just she is justified for seeking an abortion. Not only is it causing her harm.
08:27.64
Bruce Anthony
Currently and in the future. Unfortunately the baby is not going to be viable now some people carry births to term knowing that the baby is going to either be stillborn or die a few days later i. Can't speak for other people I could say for me I think that's more damaging to life than terminating the pregnancy and having the baby go through that right cause the baby can't tell you what pain that they're going through. They can't tell you. How they're dealing with whatever is the few couple of days that they have I mean I think that's torturous personally I believe that that's tortuous. But I believe everybody should have a choice I believe in abortion rights. So am I biased sure I'm a little biased do I understand that everybody says. There is a right to life sure and and in some arguments I can't disagree with that. But in this particular case it feels like Katie Cox has a pretty good case to get an abortion mind you she's already twenty weeks pregnant right? So she's already five months in she's in her second trimester at a certain point. It's going to be tougher and tougher for them to terminate the pregnancy. Ah as long as the supreme court holds off on its ruling so you most people out there and even practical republicans in the state of Texas are saying.
10:01.79
Bruce Anthony
Hey, look we don't necessarily agree with abortion. We don't support abortion but we understand this circumstance. Why abortion is appropriate. Of course you have some other republicans in the state of Texas conservatives in the state of Texas who are saying absolutely not. She should be given birth to that baby and right to life. Now I want to get to the state attorney me and my sister have talked I've talked about the state attorney before y'all know him as Ken Paxton Ken Paxton is the attorney general in Texas his his capacity in the state is to represent the state in legal matters including lawit lawsuits challenging state laws. That's his job. I get it. Ah he is responsible for defending the state's law in this abortion case his argument. His main argument has been well. She's not really been affected. And it's not really affecting her life. She's been discharged from the hospital. Let me tell you a little story about an ex-girlfriend of mine. Ah maybe she's watching. Maybe she's not we have our issues. Ah, but I still think that she's a remarkable woman. She has a daughter. Haven't spoken to her or probably about a year and a half um I don't know she has any new kids but I know for a fact that she has a daughter. Her daughter is probably around 5 or 6 right now her and her boyfriend. You know we're pregnant.
11:30.81
Bruce Anthony
And they were together but weren't living together. She was living in a little apartment not far from the hospital that they were going to have the baby at so she started feeling pain and thought she was going into labor so she went to the hospital. Hospital is like no, you're not going into labor. You're fine. You're just having some pains go on back home and come back. Basically they basically told her come back when you know it's it's more serious or when you're actually getting ahead of the baby. So she goes back home and the pain gets worse and worse. And they already sent her home for the pain that she's had saying that she's not giving birth. Well guess what she went to lay down in the bathtub and she gave birth all in her own the hospital sent her home saying that she wasn't going to be given birth but yet. She gave birth on her own in the tub of her apartment called a boyfriend. They wrapped a baby up and bilical cord still attached to him went to the hospital and did everything that they needed to do the hospital messed up doctors aren't always right? That's the reason why they call it practice in medicine right? nurses and and. And that extends to nurses and everybody else. It's practicing medicine people make mistakes so Ken Paxton is basing his argument that she shouldn't miss Katie Cox should not have an abortion because it's not a threat to her life and that the hospitals already sent her home 4 times.
13:04.73
Bruce Anthony
Never mind the fact that she's had to go to the hospital 4 times due to this pregnancy never mind the fact that this pregnancy could cause her not to have future kids. She wants future kids like I said she has 2 already 1 3 and 1 all right. They wanted to have this baby It's unfortunate that the baby heads edwards syndrome. It's not a viable pregnancy but you have Ken Paxton arguing with a hospital center home and and if Ken Paxton was an honorable attorney. That was defending the rights of the states and didn't have personal biases that were influencing his particular position I would say okay I rock with him but we know that's not the case we know this man to have many investigations against him. What are his legal troubles. He was recently acquitted in the state senate of 16 articles of impeachment because of various different ah federal investigations in Texas he has ah security fraud charges. He's accused of defrauding investors by encourage him to fund a tech startup that he was unbeknownst to them being paid to promote. Ah, the felony is punishable for up to 99 years of prison and even if Paxton is convicted and put on probation. He will lose his legal license.
14:35.57
Bruce Anthony
Um, so he was a he was acquitted in the senate for the federal investigation in Texas that he was under for since 2020 just a little side note his wife is a senator so he was going to be acquitted of other charges. But. This dude has anybody he still has a securities fraud and that's a federal offense that he's still dealing with this guy has is a shady individual and if you do any little bit of research on on him. He's a public outpoker figure in the state of Texas It's not a good guy I I don't know him personally i. I said earlier we can't make these outlandish accusations I know I just said that and I'm sounding like a hypocrite but all of his actions make it seem as if he's not a good person. He's been under investigation several times and in this particular case guess he is defending the state law but every prosecutor has a right to look at the facts of the case and determine whether it should be ah charges. Whether they should follow through the case or if they should drop the case she was already granted permission to get an abortion from a district judge. He he forced the supreme court to make a decision.
16:09.77
Bruce Anthony
And supreme court is like we need a little bit more time to review the case. Meanwhile this woman has already been to the hospital 4 times dealing with this pregnancy a pregnancy of a child that will not last a week. We talk about the right to life. What about the right not to suffer. There's constantly been arguments about assisted suicide and I'm going off on a little tangent but follow me here recently and I haven't talked about this on air and I have rarely talked about this in my personal life. My friends and family. They asked me I don't talk about this and I'm gonna try not to get emotional as I'm telling this story but I think it's important to tell this story ah in the context of suffering I had a dog crypto crypto has been my dog since. July of 2010. He's been with me through my divorce. He's been with me through loss of family members. That's my man hundred grand crypto was sick a new crypto was sick crypto was suffering. And there was one particular weekend where I knew was bat. It was a holiday weekend so it was a little tough to get them to the vet. So I said as as soon as ah, the holiday weekend is over and the vets's offices are are open I'm gonna take them to the vet and hopefully we can.
17:43.57
Bruce Anthony
Fix the issue that he had I didn't get a chance to get to that point crypto had a seizure I had to rush him to an emergency clinic. There was nothing that we could do to help him I had to put him down. Broke my heart still breaking my heart today.
18:12.36
Bruce Anthony
Were there things that we could have done to keep him alive. Of course there were medicines and things that that we could have done to keep him alive I asked if that what would be his quality of life and she said. Well, it's not going to be good and I'm looking at my dog who I love dearly and since that seizure he hasn't really like he's breathing. He's there is not really responsive. Um, and so I asked her I said. What type of ah medication have you put him on to to you know to make him so sedated. She said we haven't put him on any medication this is where he's at right now I couldn't I couldn't have my dog suffering anymore. Despite the fact I didn't want to let him go I did not want to let him go I love him. He's been a part of my life for fourteen years Fourteen years didn't want to let him go but that wasn't it would have been selfish to keep him alive. We do that for animals we do that to pet. He wasn't the first petoma he was my dog. We've had family dogs but he was my dog but it. Wasn't the first pet that we've had to put down in in every situation it was it was we put down the pet because it was the most main thing to do because who wants to do that suffering I don't understand how we would treat pets that way but we don't treat human beings that way now I had a friend who had.
19:48.50
Bruce Anthony
Ah, mother who was suffering from Dementia and the mother was ready to go was ready to go did not want to live the life when she was cognizant and aware didn't want to live the life that she was living because she wasn't herself Anymore. We don't really have assisted Suicide Legal assisted suicide so she had to suffer and die why is it that we would treat animals better than we would treat human beings and and in that. When we've had and I know a lot of people out there listening have it who've had family members that that we didn't want to let go they were battling cancer or terminal diseases or what have you that we didn't want to let go cause selfishly we were going to miss them. But. We have to let go because that's not they don't want to suffer and some people out there say keep me alive no matter what I've told my parents and my family and I'm saying alive on air If. There's a surgery that I have to have to save my life. But it's removing any part of my body. Ah okay, the vanity part you know I don't want lose any arms and legs say I had diabetes and to say they had to cut off my leg to save my life or I got into a motorcycle accident and we say I had to they had to cut off my arm to save my arm I don't have kids. Um, so my situation is a little different.
21:16.43
Bruce Anthony
I don't want to live like that. Let me go. that's that's what I said I know some people out there are gonna say Bruce that's absolutely crazy, but it's my life. It's my quality of life I know how I want to live. You can't tell me how I should live my life in how I want to exist in this world. So. We treat pets with humanity. We don't treat people with humanity and Texas right now is not treating this baby with humanity because this baby can't say I'm in pain I'm suffering. All they could do is cry and that's what babies do most of times cry we have no idea of what babies feel as far as pain is concerned because they can't tell us just like most of time we can't tell what animals what type of pain animals are feeling because they can't tell us but because. Certain conservatives and politicians in the state of Texas are so adamant that they want to preserve the life. Not only are they gonna put Katie and her family through suffering because she is her body is suffering right now. Not only are they gonna do that. But the very thing that they say that they're about preserving life and the right to life. They're putting that baby through pain or suffering look morally I don't know right? Everybody has different morals.
22:50.44
Bruce Anthony
I'm not gonna sit here and say what how how people should feel morally but we all know what's right? And what's wrong humanity is always right. Humanity is always moral I don't understand why this is so difficult and I hope. The texas supreme court does the right thing here and I pray for Katie and her family because I know that they're going through something that is a traumatic experience and I hope that Katie and her family can have children in the future. And I pray for them and I pray for all the people out there everybody that suffering with pain of losing a loved 1 whether it's ah, a baby whether it's a parent and aren't a friend. Hell even if it's a pet all of it matters. Humanity matters.
24:03.61
Bruce Anthony
You know when me and my sister talk about institutional racism. You know we get a lot of comments on Youtube and a lot of guys will will not see these particular comments on Youtube a lot of them are racist a lot of them are are trolls some of it is you know. Paters to try and get us in arguments and I and I won't entertain those type of arguments I just won't do it. But if I give you example after example, after example of ways that there are institutional racism that are based in history and in fact, you really honestly can't. Argue with me about it because it's based in history and fact, despite the fact that people want to rewrite history. Um, the information is still out. There. You can still gather it if you if you want to learn about the history in this country and the institutional racism. It's there. It's prevalent. Um. Somebody sent me something that was I thought was really really interesting this week and most gen zers that that listen to this show are not going to understand what it is I'm about to say because only millennials boomers gen gen x ah well. Understand what I'm about to say and what I'm about to say is y'all remember doing square dancing in school back in the day. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was a thing a lot of people a lot of people in gen z are like what the hell is square dancing Youtube it it still exists. It's still out there but back in the day in school mind you.
25:38.12
Bruce Anthony
In school we would learn as a and typically in gym class as a physical activity square dancing and somebody sent me something that that explained why we were learning square dancing y'all know Henry Ford he was a founder of Ford. You know the cars you know Ford built tough like all that stuff. Henry Ford was the automotive tycoon and he was the significant influence of the popularity of square dancing and I know y'all are thinking to yourself wait a minute how the hell is a automotive tycoon. Influences square dancing and then how does that correlate to square dancing in school and Bruce you were talking about institutional racism my first I'm I'm not following this. Let me connect a dodge for you. It's not really that hard in in response. Ah. And response of of jazz music and I'll get to that in a minute he sparked a national movement Henry Ford I'm talking about sparked a national movement in the 1920 s to revitalize square attention which he saw as virtuous and a wholesome alternative. He poured a small fortune into promoting square dancing funding radio shows, dance clubs and inviting hundreds of dance instructors to his home. His efforts led to the addition of an early american dancing to the curricula of 34 Colleges
27:05.71
Bruce Anthony
And squared dancing was also once part of physical education at school I know once again, y'all are saying okay dude like square dancing like I don't understand how that's a big dude and he puts some money into it to to put his interest in the schools I mean Bruce once again I don't understand how this is institutional racism. Yeah, he didn't like jazz and he wanted things to be more traditional. But once again, how is this institutional racism Bruce you haven't made your point. You're just race baiting. Okay, well let me just explain to you why for despised jazz and saw it as a source of moral decay. He believed that jazz was a jewish creation and immoral threat to America let me repeat that he felt that jazz was a jewish creation and moral threat to America now go back to what I said his stance was on square dancing. He found it virtuous and wholesome. Okay, so he thinks jazz music is a jewish creation a moral threat and leading to the moral decay of american society and he wants to promote ah square dancing anti-semitic yeah because I don't understand why. Ah, jewish creation would be a bad thing and and and jazz is cool. Ah, but he was known to harbor anti-semitic groups, views and racial biases. He associated jazz music with african american and jews and groups the groups he held prejudice and views against okay.
28:43.58
Bruce Anthony
So once again, let's let's rewind a little bit because I'm connecting all the dots for you if you didn't want to connect it Henry Ford the man whose name is still synonymous right now because there's Ford's being sold all over the place people buy fords every day is a racist and anti-semitic person anti-semite. That's what he is. He promoted square dancing because he thought it was virtuous and held true to american values so much so that he put money into it. A lot of money into it to fund it to fund the spread of it and funded it so well and spread it it so wide that it was actually put in the school curriculum in which. Everybody in America was learning how to square dance all the way up to my generation. He started in the 1920 s I was in elementary school in and and middle school in the late 80 s and early 90 s we're talking about 70 years of his influence in our school system. Not just. Elementary and middle school in colleges as well. 34 colleges institutes instituted square dance to into their curriculum. Ah, but you're saying okay so he's a little racist and he was a little anti-semitic ah jazz music. He just didn't like jazz music black quote. Black folks and jewish people like it you know was it really that bad. Yeah, it was bad Ford viewed jazz as a symbol of herbal deck urban decadence and moral decay. He believed that jazz with its improational and professionalal style and association with nightlife and dance halls promoted behaviors and attitudes that were contrary.
30:19.34
Bruce Anthony
To his conservative values. Let me let me let me you know? Ah what I often say history repeats itself over and over and over again if you pay attention to history. History repeats itself is what he's saying any different than what people were saying about disco.
30:38.91
Bruce Anthony
To what people were saying about ah hip hop and rap music now that is the moral decay and conservative and goes against conservative values by the way conservative values also are what happened in the first segment with Katie Cox can't get an abortion from an unviable pregnancy because of conservative values when exactly does conservative values help this country what it does do is it promotes white christian nationalism. That's what conservative values are so much so that people like Marjorie Taylor Green are calling themselves. White christian nationalists I have a lot of jewish friends and I tell them all the time that when you have people that all of a sudden come to your side like the Margie Taylor Green like a lot of conservatives in the republican party who don't mind when I say come to their side with this. Situation in a that's happening in Gaza I'm going off from the tangible follow me here with the situation that's happened in Gaza you have a lot of conservatives all of a sudden really good friends to Israel and jewish people but yet they take money help and support. By a lot of the neo-nazi groups and and and racial group and anti-semitic groups that are here in this country. Proud boys oathkeepers things of that nature. You don't see the contradiction. Be careful who you consider an ally because they're only an ally because it benefits them. So.
32:11.97
Bruce Anthony
These conservative values it it. It doesn't in there for saw squaredazzing as a way to preserve preserve traditional american culture and it also promoted like country music and things of that nature which he felt was american. Okay. Ah, and he felt like ah squared dancer was a wholesome alternative now people would say well square dancing really isn't a thing anymore and it's not um, it's still popular in several states that happen to be in the south. We're the majority of the conservatives are but institutional racism. This was. This this is what I talk about when I say institutions had racist ideology and principles that they were pushing to try to eliminate jazz which by the way as is his own words and improvis you improvise a lot in jazz right. So what is another thing that you improvise in critical thinking to think for yourself. Square dancing is very structured. This is the way you do things you don't deviate from it. There. There really isn't you can't put it any twist to it or anything like that it is structured. You do it this way. You do it that way. Whereas jazz is creativity think about what dictators like to do and I'm not calling Henry Ford a dictator but there's a larger point here I'm trying to make think about what dictators like to do when they take power. They immediately kill business owners entrepreneurs.
33:47.18
Bruce Anthony
Politicians teachers activists. They they go out and kill those people immediately why because those are people that think critically those are people that will challenge the status quo dictators eliminate all those people. And instead keep people that fall in line that don't rock the boat who won't challenge the status quo who will do what they are told and never question authority which by the way is the most un-american thing that there is because that's what we did or not. We. Founding fathers did and find and and and creating this country right? That's what they did but they want the the powers that be want you or dictators want you to not question authority to follow the rules to follow this dance. And do it exactly this way each and every time everybody doing it creating this perfect uniformed type dance without any privatization without any creativity without any thought think about that think about that and this is what Henry Ford was pushing. And it didn't work right? like it. Well it. It worked in some cases it and worked in other cases because what you can't do from people's take away their creativity. So yeah I was taught to square dance that we hated it didn't like it thought it was lane didn't understand why we couldn't change it up and do something like that. Why because I'm a hip hop kid.
35:21.36
Bruce Anthony
That's what we do we create dances and all of a sudden we're doing the running man. We create a a twist and it's like hey what is this new dance move I don't know but I like it and looks dope right? that that's and that's that's thought that's creativity. That's what fuels this country. And and I will also say that black culture fuels this country anything popular has been created by black culture. He he brings up square dancing Henry Ford brings some square dancing and country music. You know where country music comes from bluegrass the millenians who were descendants of slaves or you think rock and roll started. Everything starts with counting with black culture fashion. All of it starts entertainment. All of it starts with black culture. Um, not to say that white culture doesn't have things that are that they don't participate in that obviously that's not the case I'm just saying a lot of forms are entertainment are started by black culture and. And so that's the reason why they feel like it's the moral decay. So when I say institutional racism Henry Ford this is what I'm talking about square dancing who knew somebody just introduced that to me I'm a historian right? I thought I knew a lot about America history and I do know a lot about America history. But this was a new one. And who would have thought Henry Ford Henry Ford I didn't even know Henry Ford was ah ah was ah anti-semite and and and and somebody who didn't like black people.

All my jewish brethren out there. y'all will continue to support Ford if you're driving to Ford right now you're gonna return it because I mean you wouldn't supporter of the jewish people at all. Wow. That's that that was when I read that that was something that was interesting I didn't know about that. And hey you learn something new every day and when you listen to the show you learn something new every show hopefully all right on the next segment I'm going to get into I'm going to tell some stories of crypto I opened up a little bit about crypto and it was sad but I want to tell some. Some good stuff about crypto because he was an amazing dog.

I didn't know when I started the show today that there was gonna turn into a memorial of crypto but I have not talked about it. Those people that are close to me have been wanting me to talk about it. It's been a couple of months it's been about three months it has exactly been three months um

And I haven't talked about it and you know I got a little emotional in that first segment and I want to tell you some good stuff about crypto because everybody that met crypto thought he was crazy as hell but he was just like his daddy and then this is what I mean by that he was energetic. He didn't trust a lot of people but when he did trust you he absolutely loved you. And he had personality for days. Let me tell you what this dude would do first of all I told you that I got him when I was with my ex-wife is before we even got married so he loved my ex-wife he loves women because he loves to cuddle and i. But cubble cuddle with him often, but he really loves women and loves to cuddle so when I got my divorce and I'm out there dating you know how you know how players play I'm out there dating you know setting the scene he would let me know what women were good women and what women were not by this very simple thing. He barked at everybody that came in a door cause he wanted to let you know that hey look this is my house and I live here. You ain't running nothing I want to let you know who I am acknowledge me give me a pet. We might be okay if I like you that was crypto stas every time somebody walked in the house if he liked a girl that I had by the house. And I was letting him roam because sometimes he he didn't like not having attention so I would have to put him away or put him in another room so that I could give the young lady attention. But if he was being a good boy and I mean a young lady was sitting on the couch if he liked her. He would jump on the couch put his head in her lap.

I always knew that when he did that our this girl can be around for a little while if he never did that if he never calmed down that was telling me that she wouldn't it because he he dug energy and everybody that he was absolutely cool with are actually good people. Um, but he was also wild. Let me tell you how wild he was most of the time I had places that were on the bottom floor when I had crypto I would get garden style either condos or apartments and my condo apartment would be on the bottom floor because it was easier to let him out. And then go back to bed or or let him out real quick when he needed to go out or go for walks. It was easier to do that than to go upstairs and elevators. So one day. Ah I'm at my new place and this is after me my expit split. So. It's the first place that I have after her and um. Take him out in the backyard like I said I have ah a patio and screen doors and everything like that and I would walk him without the leash because it led to a big field and from that field I could walk to. There was a school not too far from me that had a. Ah, running track and if it was late at night and nobody was around I would walk and went off the off the leash because he was never gonna leave my side. He would run up a little bit look back to make sure I was there but he always stayed by my side but what he would do is when he was ready to go back home and we started getting close to home. He would run out ahead of me and.

Go to the patio door and wait. But there was one particular time once again, the screen doors that he it's nighttime right? and he's running towards the screen doors not realizing this is screen door and ran straight through the screen door now you would have to understand crypto. They told me that he was a pitbull boxer mix when I got him. He was not He definitely had some pit in him but he was a runt I mean he was never more than £40 he was never taller and I am tall but he was never never tall enough to be to stand up to my knees. He was a short dog but he was so strong. He was really really strong. He ran through and there was a big hole. There was a big crypto size hole in my sliding door. Um that I had to get fixed There's been other times we've been at the dog park where he's run he he was so tough he was so tough vets would give him shots and he wouldn't flinch I mean this dog was tough. This dog was so tough 1 time we were at the dog park. And he just loved to run I mean when he was a puppy he would run for hours and hours and hours and hours. He would never get tired I would take it for dogs and take him to the dog part I would sit down at the dog park after jogging with me a couple of miles. He would still go run around and play with dogs till he was exhausted. 1 time and he was really fast. 1 time he was running so fast and running so hard. He ran directly into a brick wall. So I freaked out I'm like he killed himself. He's broken his neck and my dog is dead this fool bounced up looked at me big smile in his face and kept on running.

I think this is just this is just who he was he was he was a wild boy that that destroyed every toy that I gave to him even then they said that the dog toys were indestructible. He destroyed him loved squeakies ah would give him the little. Little balls that had squeakers in him. He would break them within 30 minutes luckily those things would cheat I would keep getting into him. He loved toys and he loved to cuddle and he really loved my place right now I have a balcony overlooking the courtyard and the pool and the whole night and he really loves sitting out there on the balcony. With me matter. Of fact, the last day we spent the day out there the day before he passed we spent the day out there and he had he had the seizure actually out there on the balcony. Um, so I know that he was going through it. But at least he was in his favorite place. Um, and he really loved that balcony man really loved being out there and only when I was out there. He didn't want to be out there alone but when I was out there. He really loved it. I loved that dog love that dog and he was a trip everybody thought he was adorable and he was. Ah, he was also a handful but I don't regret the 13 and 14 years with him at all. Um, okay so I'm going to give a couple of rundowns to some updates.
