 Good morning everybody. Today is a little bit of a day of anxiety. Just a little bit, especially for a little wiener. Little wiener's going to the vet. He's got an infected canine that needs to be removed. So he's got to be put under for it. And that's a little bit risky for him because he's pretty old. He's over 10 years old and he's already had IVDD back surgery on his spine. So, uh, we're a little nervous. Drop him off at the vet this morning, but we trust that he'll pull through and that they know what they're doing. Are you gonna wish your brother good luck? Your brother's got to go see the doctor. Oh no, I know. You're the man of the hour, man. Your puppy of the hour? You ready for this? Gives me anxiety for days straight. Get your tooth fixed. He's got an infected canine that needs to be removed and they need to put him under for that. And since he's, and along with the cleaning too while he's down, so because he's so old already and he's had that back injury and spine surgery for his IVDD. And his enlarged heart. And he's got an enlarged heart. Mom's a little bit worried. Understandably. Didn't sleep much last night, eh? You're gonna be just fine, right, Wiener? You're a strong Wiener. You are the Wiener of this house. You must be strong. So those of you that are new to the videos, Wiener, his name is actually Frank. We have two Franks. That wasn't planned. He was a foster. So he is Wiener now and he is Sergeant Major General Frank. We're not too sure. Each story he tells keeps getting better and better. So he's got a lot of stories from the Great Milk Bone War. He's a veteran. As long as you acknowledge his military experience, he likes you. It'll be nice to you. But don't worry. I mean be careful though. He's got a mean side to him. He never insults his intelligence or his ability to win. So that is Big Frank. That's another name for him because he's a little bit bigger than the other Frank. But that Frank has been with Britt since he was like 10 weeks old. Eight weeks old and that is her very essence of being. She loves him more than she loves me. So it is in everyone's best interest to keep that dog as comfortable and healthy as possible. I'm kidding. It's not that intense, but it's pretty close. He is her absolute best friend, follows her everywhere, goes with her everywhere, and has also gotten her through a lot of tough times in the past. And he even sort of likes me sometimes. Which is a plus. He is like Weasel to me because Weasel's been with me since he was 10 weeks. So he's got to go to the vet. He's got to get fixed up. He's got to go under. We drop him off between 8 and 8.30, which is pretty much right now. We go there and drop him off, and then we pick him up when? 3 to 4. Between 3 and 4. Between 3 and 4, so he's gonna be there all day. They might call me early again to pick him up. Yeah. He's a trooper. He's been through a lot. He'll be fine. He's a healthy boy. It's just his spine surgery that we worry about. As long as they're careful with him when he's out and they pick him up properly and stuff that is neck where his surgery was doesn't get irritated and stuff, but they know what they're doing. They're the professionals. He'll be just fine. I'm too ready. Man, it's a little cold out. I would frost on the windows this morning. So this wasn't an emergency. It was a planned appointment. Last time we had Wiener at the vet, they noticed that he's got an infection in his mouth, and he's been through this before. He is stage 4 gum disease. So he's supposed to get his teeth done for two years. He's just overdue by about a month. Diesel has to get his teeth done soon, too. But he hasn't had all the struggles that Wiener's had. Surgery and just being small in general. All the meds. Yeah, he's forgetting his enlarged heart. That's what his pill is for every day in his foods. He has an enlarged heart yet, too. Wiener dogs are delicate. I would not suggest them for families. Yeah, I was gonna say we probably wouldn't recommend Dations. Not, especially not for children. They are far too fragile and kids are kids are kids, right? It's not that they're careless, but they're careless. I mean, you know, they can easily hurt one, and I mean, I wouldn't recommend them for young families. Wiener dogs were bred to be Wieners. They don't naturally grow that long. They were bred that way in Germany a long time ago, and their spines haven't naturally evolved to handle that length between ends. Yeah, so when you pick them up. They're longer than the average dog. Yeah, when you pick them up, you always have to pick up the butt end and the head end. Otherwise, their back gets unnecessary stress, and you could actually break their back. Yeah, you have to do it very gently. They weren't naturally designed or created to look like that. We did that. Humans, we, uh, but they're wonderful dogs. Very, very loyal. Man, is he loyal. One owner dog. Remember that if you get one, and maybe you're an older couple and you don't have kids at home anymore, or you're just a couple no kids. Yeah, sure, try it out, but remember they're a one owner dog. Well, they can be too. He's pretty in love with my mom too when he grew up with her. Yeah, yeah, he loves both of you, but they'll pick one. They'll pick one in there. That'll be their person. This dump truck beside us. Fast diggers. I bet you they can dig a whole real fast. That's the company name. Fast diggers. You need a whole dug. You need a dug fast. They're your guys. We're starting to notice these local companies more and more often since I'm home more and curious as to, uh, all the different trucking jobs in the area. He's got a tightness chain on the back. We're here. You ready, Wiener? Better question is, is she ready? She's not talking. So we got a call inside, and then they're going to come out and get him or meet us at the door. Probably meet us at the door, I think. Good luck, Wiener. I love you. Have a good snooze. Have a good snoozing. Off to see the good doctor. That little guy's a trooper. He's been through a lot, and you wouldn't notice it or you wouldn't imagine just looking at him because he looks like a healthy little wiener. He looks young. He looks spry. So they know about all of his, uh, conditions, so he should be just fine. He should be just fine. They know what they're doing. They're the professionals. They've gone to school for many, many, many years for exactly this. It doesn't take the anxiety away as much, but it does calm you down. I've been very lucky with my boy, with Weasel. He's been a very healthy boy his whole life. Had only small things. Like he had a swollen lip once. He had to have some antibiotics for that. It was a little bit infected. But other than that, he's been fine. So what's the good word? I don't want to go in there. He was like holding on to the door for me. Poor guy. So when do we pick him up? Do they call or what? Last time they just called me or, uh, actually one of the vet techs knows me. So she sent me a picture and we picked him up early. But we'll see. Actually, last time we were here, I think for anything like this, Chevy got fixed and then they called us early and said he was ready. Okay. So they'll call us when he's done. He's ready to do that. Yeah, but it's around 3,330. I'll be here to pick him up if they don't call. Okay. While we're out in the boat, out in the boat. May as well cross one more roadside attraction off our list. After this, we'll have 97 left in Manitoba. There she is. A little chilly this morning. A little windy too. Steinback. It's worth the trip. 97 left out of 101. It's not bad. Hope to go see what the plaque over here says. You guys out of the wind, the best I can. Steinback, the automobile city. Steinback's first car dealership was established in 1914. Other dealerships soon followed. By the 1950s, as a result of aggressive promotion, Steinback became known as the automobile city. By 1991, with 10 dealerships continuing to offer competitive prices and excellent service, many people from all over Manitoba, Ontario, and other western provinces came to Steinback to purchase cars and trucks, verifying it's worth the trip. Symbolizing Steinback's distinction as the automobile city is this 1931 classic Rolls Royce. Roadster, about double the size of the original. It is 40 feet in length, 12 feet in width, 11 and a half feet in height. It was fabricated by John Henry Friesen of John Henry Science. It's the first time I've actually gone up to look at that car that I can remember. It's been there my whole life. I actually used to be in front of the mall that they moved it here when they started building things. There's a Wendy's coming up there now. I love Wendy's. We need a Burger King in town though still. The vet just called with an update. What's the news? The car stopped. You looked panicked there for a second. That scared me. No, they just wanted to let me know that she's got some really badly diseased teeth that need pulling and they just asked for permission to pull them. How many? Four again. But they said it's not as bad as last time. But there's definitely some on the bottom that need pulling and I said whatever's healthiest for him, just pull them. Okay. Oh my heart. What did they say that made you feel... He's having a heart attack. You okay? I'm okay. I just I thought it was a bad call. I'm a pessimist. They did call pretty early. It's only like 10 40 right now. So I thought that something had gone wrong. Well, it's because they're in the middle of the cleaning right now. Yeah. Getting the blanket ready for Weiner and his homecoming. His baby blanket. Yeah, I washed all his favorite blankets so he's cozy and nice and clean. He loves fresh blankets. We haven't heard anything from the vet all day other than that one phone call. Just letting us know what they were going to do. Or getting permission for what they were going to do. So no news is good news in this situation. Everything seems to be all right. It is oh 22 minutes and we can pick him up. What you doing over here, Frank? Getting in any trouble? Hmm? You all right? Colder one today. Oh, this is plus one? Yeah, right. It's plus one. I'm frozen. Lies. That is not right. You sit on the throne of lies. My truck is telling me it's one degree outside. Well, it might be. It's just that the wind chill is bad. That wind chill in the prairies is always horrible. It's so windy. We're on our way to pick up Weiner right now. Hopefully that everything's good and trust that they would have called us if there was any problems. Oh, they would have. They're they're a great bet. It's going to be a little woozy, isn't it? A little druggie. A little high. That's okay. We'll get them through it. You'll see the purple effulence. The rainbow clouds. We're here for our Weiner. Have you seen mine? That never gets old. We're going to get our same parking spot back. All right. You got to give them a call and see what they say. Yep. All right. All righty. We're going to have to sell our firstborn child for this one. We love our dogs. All right. There she goes. I'm going to go pick them up. Apparently he went through went through it very well. He had three teeth on the bottom pulled. One on the top, $725. I believe was the bill. We love our dogs. That little guy. Yep. But Weiner is very important to her. All of our dogs are important to us. But that little guy has been with her, like I was saying before, with her through some pretty dark times, even before she met me. And he's always been her constant. You know, he's not an official title right now, but he is a therapy dog for her as well. You know, if she's feeling anxious or depressed or anything. And the little guy has always been there for her. So I understand that. Diesel's been like that for me as well too. So in a few minutes, they should come out of there and apparently he's awake and wondering where his mom is. So do you guys have any stories of when your pets went to the vet? Let me know down below in the comment section. What kind of vet experience was it? And I don't mean just the regular annual shots for distemper or rabies. I mean, like, did they ever have to go in for surgeries or something serious? Where did you take them? And how was your experience there? And is that pet still around with you today? You know, we almost lost Frankie a little while ago. And we were in a real bad spot then too. We were in a tight spot. And thank God we were able to bring them all the way to Saskatoon for that surgery. Oh, here they come. Here they come. Here they are. She is once again whole. Look at her. You can see her smiling through the mask. That's how big her smile is. I gotta get the door for her. One second. Got it. All right. That smile is gonna rip that mask right off your face. Watch out. You okay? Oh, medicine. Got him. You want it out? You ran straight to the door as soon as you saw me. Ha, ha, ha. Wiener. I want to talk to you. I blame you. Wiener, how you doing, bud? What are you doing? What's your face? Oh, they're crying. I'm gonna have to wash your face. Oh, my. Look at you. I've been through all that and you didn't get rid of him. He's still here. I'm still here, buddy. You can't get rid of me that easy. Good, baby. Look at him. He's all dopey. It's okay. Love is being chased by the pink ephelons. Ephelons. I don't know if there's events, though. Is he in here? I could see color. He was crazy. All right. He looks like he's having a good time right now, though. I'll have whatever he's having. I don't know about that. Should we pull all your teeth, too? Hey, if I get whatever he got, he has an attachment, we'll say. To Brett? Very bonded. They are very bonded. I've never seen a dog in a human bond like those two. I don't know. You don't see how diesel is when you're not there. Don't get me wrong. He loves me, but when you're not there, it's like a piece of his soul is missing and he just cries constantly. There he is. Everybody's very concerned. How is he? How is he? How was he, buddy? How was he? Did you see the ephelons? I love the ephelons. Did he stick you with a needle? Tell me, Webb. What did he hurt? A game. Look at him. Diesel is very concerned. I'm still worried. All gay. Oh, he's crowding in around him. Oh, you little guy. Chevy, don't touch his mouth. Oh. Everybody's one. Don't lick his mouth too much, guys. It's very sensitive right now. Interesting how they know, right? Well, obviously they can smell the medicines and stuff that are in his mouth because of his teeth that got pulled. But even I can smell them, so if I can smell them, he can definitely smell them. Another success. You little wiener. You. You're a lot of maintenance, buddy. You're a lot of maintenance. We were talking to them about that this morning, right? About how we wouldn't recommend a dash and to people unless if you're like single or if you're a couple with no kids or if your kids have already moved out of the house. And they are quite a bit of maintenance at the vet. It gets a little pricey. But it's worth it for him. But just be prepared that if you get a dash and yourself, just be prepared for that. Just running out to grab a few last minute things that we forgot about before. So if you haven't already, I'm curious to hear your stories of your pets. I really need to get this truck washed. Looking over there, looking, looking. Don't look at much of a lineup. Ah, not today. Not today. I want to get home before the sun goes down. The sun goes down so early. Sooner and sooner every day. But hey, December 21st, winter solstice. And then we have Christmas and then we have New Year and then the days officially start getting noticeably longer in daylight hours. I've just noticed that I've dropped a lot of questions for you today. So I expect a lot of comments. Let me know. Let me know. I'm so curious. I'm curious Josh today. I've got questions. Do you ever just awkwardly roll through nice neighborhoods dreaming of one day owning a house on that street? Look at these homes here. Beautiful. I like to just take little detours every now and then to look at all the houses that I can't afford. Maybe one day, you know? Maybe one day. Oh, I like this one. This one right here with the dormers. Oh, this one just sold. Oh, good for them. Interesting shingles. This is like wood shingles. Maybe one day. Look at these two houses right on the corner here. Look at this dark one. That's right. That's me. I'm that creepy guy rolling through your neighborhood. Just looking. Just looking. You know, slime bags are pretty small town. I mean, apparently it's a city now. I don't know if I believe that or not, but technically I guess we're a city now. That's a pretty small town. We'll take a gander down hospital street here. And you guessed it. You're a smart one. This is where the hospital is. This is where Grandpa is. Last we heard, which was update this morning, I believe, from my mom, that he is still doing stable, still eating. Could he could be eating more. That's the main thing that they'd like to see. Happen right now. They'd like to see him eat more. But yeah, he's stable and slowly, slowly improving. And it's the next morning here. I'm just finishing throwing this together for you. I'm going to upload it and release it to you in probably about an hour, hour and a half. It's just 11 30 central time here right now in the morning. And the update from today is that Wiener is tired. He's sore. He's still in some pain. But he's resting and he's doing all right. A little trooper. So that's that. I want to thank you all for watching today, for all your support and everything through the years. We really do appreciate it. I'm going to end this here. And tomorrow, I'm thinking of crossing off another one of our 101 landmarks or so. We'll have to see which one. There's a couple close by here that we can get to within like 20, 25 minutes. So I'm thinking of heading out. Checking that out a little bit. Other than that, we'll see you tomorrow. Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already. We make new videos every day. Love to have you here every day.
