A
Hello
and
thank
you
for
tuning
in
to
this
episode
of
animals
and
names.
My
name
is
Ron
Edwards
I'm,
the
animal
control
supervisor
here
for
the
Ames,
Animal
Shelter
and
animal
control
program.
Our
first
two
guests
today
are
guinea
pigs.
They
are
Garth
and
Brooks.
They
were
named
by
one
of
our
employees.
A
Here,
that's
a
big
fan
of
country,
western
music,
so
we
got
Garth
Brooks
here
with
us
today
in
the
studio,
these
guys
are
very,
very
bonded
together,
as
you
can
see
here,
as
they're
enjoying
their
green
veggies
together
the
green
leaf
veggies,
they
are
just
very
content
and
being
here
they
could
care
less,
that
the
cameras
are
rolling.
The
lights
are
on
there's
a
camera
person
here,
they're
just
happy
to
have
their
green
veggies.
A
That
is
such
an
important
part
of
their
diet,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
any
adopter
knows
that
and
they've
done
research
on
these
guys,
so
you
can't
just
give
them
pellets
that
you
buy
in
the
store.
Timothy
hay
is
also
a
very
important
part
of
their
diet.
It's
a
critical
part
of
their
diet.
So
having
these
green
leafy
vegetables,
here
they
have
a
mixture
of
cilantro
and
there's
some
Italian
parsley
here
and
also
the
romaine
lettuce.
A
The
iceberg
lettuce
actually
has
no
nutritional
value
whatsoever
for
them.
So
you
want
to
make
sure
it's
either
the
romaine
lettuce
and,
of
course,
a
lot
of
the
green
leafy
vegetables.
So
these
guys
are
a
bonded
pair,
so
they
need
to
be
adopted
together.
It's
actually
very
important
for
their
well-being.
A
It
does
help
them
thrive
together
and
they
are
very
bonded.
Like
I,
said,
they're
they're
often
seen
in
their
cage
running
and
playing
together,
and,
of
course,
you
see
them
here,
just
enjoying
a
nice
meal
together.
So
if
you're
interested
in
a
guinea
pig,
the
guinea
pig
Manuel
calm,
it's
a
pretty
easy
website
to
remember,
but
guinea
pig
Manuel
calm
is
a
website
all
about
guinea
pigs.
A
So
it
tells
you
all
about
their
diets
what
kind
of
housing
you
need
to
have
them
in
just
they're
great
creatures
here-
and
you
know
a
good
pet
for
someone.
They
do
you
know.
Typically,
you
want
to
keep
them
in
their
cage.
You
can
take
them
out
for
some
playtime,
of
course,
but
unlike
bunnies,
you
typically
cannot
teach
these
guys
how
to
use
their
litterbot,
I'm
gonna
say
a
little
bit
of
their
story
here.
A
A
In
our
next
guest
today
is
Nancy.
Nancy
came
into
us
as
a
stray.
She
was
in
pretty
bad
shape.
Her
tail
was
actually
rotting
off
and
we
took
her
to
our
friends
at
Somerset
vet
hospital
Co.
She
also
had
some
pretty
bad
ear
mites,
so
a
cat
that
definitely
was
not
cared
for
very
well,
but
that
tail
was
one
of
the
worst
that
the
vet
had
seen
and
needed
to
be
amputated
almost
immediately.
A
So
her
tail
was
amputated
and
she
has
a
bit
of
a
little
little
bit
of
an
up
there,
still
she's
healing,
very
well
as
if
we
can
get
her
turn
around,
but
she
is
a
sweet
kitty
and
again
she's
dealing
with
the
medication
or
ears
as
well.
So
you
see
her
shaking
her
head
a
little
bit
there.
But
Nancy
is
a
very
sweet
girl
she's
about
a
year
old.
As
what
our
estimation
is,
but
a
very
sweet
girl,
that's
under
some
special
vet
care,
so
she's
not
available
exactly
right.
A
Now
she
will
be
available
in
our
room
very
soon.
Once
we
get
her
all
taken
care
of
and
treated
but
I
want
to
see
if
we
can
kind
of
maybe
get
a
little
shot
there
of
the
tail
or
she's
just
got
that
little
nub
there.
That
just
kind
of
makes
her
even
that
much
more
acute.
But
Nancy
is
a
domestic
Shorthair,
she's
kind
of
a
this
gray,
tabby
coloring
here.
So
you
can
see
those
stripes
and
her,
but
a
very
sweet
kitty,
she's
been
good
to
get
medication.
A
A
At
least
some
of
the
surgeries
wouldn't
be
possible.
We
do
have
amazing
funding
through
the
city
of
Ames
here,
but
all
of
these
special
surgeries
and
things
like
this.
We
really
have
to
use
our
donation
funds
and
and
really
appreciate
everyone
that
donates
to
us
and,
as
you
can
see
here
in
this
big
check,
we
have.
We
had
a
wonderful
donation
from
fresh
time
who
just
opened
up
here
yesterday
the
ribbon-cutting
was
January
30th
and
they
had
their
ribbon-cutting
ceremony
and
invited
us
down
and
gave
us
this
amazing.
A
So
we
couldn't
be
happier
to
receive
that
donation
from
fresh
time
and
when
I
welcome
them
here
to
our
community,
look
forward
to
being
partners
with
them
for
many
many
years
to
come
so
and
again,
Nancy's
just
one
of
those
kitties.
That's
I
helped
out
with
donations
every
day
at
the
shelter.
There's
cats
here
that
benefit
from
the
amazing
donors
that
we
have
here
and
we
couldn't
do
without
them.
So
Nancy's
just
a
good
example
of
that.
So
let's
get
Nancy
a
home
she's
here
at
the
Ames
Animal
Shelter.
A
A
Mac
came
into
us
as
a
stray.
We
do
know
who
his
owners
were.
So
we
do
have
a
little
bit
of
history
with
them.
It's
very
unfortunate
Mac
is
going
to
be,
unfortunately,
our
poster
child
for
why
you
don't
declaw
a
cat,
as
you
can
see
in
the
x-rays
here
that
is
Mac.
All
four
of
his
paws
are
appear
to
be
glowing.
Those
are
actually
bone,
fragments
from
when
he
was
declawed
on
all
four
feet.
So
you
see
there's
eight
different
spots
that
are
glowing
on
Mac.
A
Those
are
bone,
fragments
that
were
left
behind
from
the
declaw
surgery
that
he
had
at
some
time
in
his
life.
We
don't
know
when
that
happened.
I
want
to
make
it
very
clear,
I'm,
not
saying
that
this
happens
to
every
cat,
that's
declawed,
but
it
happened
to
Mac
and
here's
the
proof.
A
vet
did
the
exam.
They
did
the
x-rays
and
said
exactly
what
those
were,
so
those
are
bone,
fragments
that
are
left
behind
and
you
see
them
glowing
on
the
screen
there,
that's
obviously
causing
a
lot
of
pain
with
Mac
in
today's
show.
A
We
couldn't
keep
him
up
here
on
the
scanned
here,
so
we're
going
to
kind
of
let
him
hang
out
in
the
room.
He
is
experiencing
a
lot
of
pain
in
his
feet
and
it's
very
unfortunate
that
that
was
done
to
him.
He
is
going
to
have
to
be
on
pain,
medication
per
the
vets
recommendation
for
the
rest
of
his
life.
It's
a
very
low
dose,
pain
medication,
but
for
him
to
thrive
and
not
be
in
so
much
pain.
He's
going
to
have
to
be
on
that
for
the
rest
of
his
life.
A
The
good
news
is
it's
a
very
inexpensive
drug.
It's
also
something
that
can
be
given
in
his
wet
food
which
he
really
enjoys.
So
he
is
on
a
special
diet.
We
want
to
try
to
reduce
some
of
the
weight
on
him
because
it
will
help
him
to
not
have
so
much
pressure
on
those
toes
that
are
giving
him
so
much
pain.
So
hopefully,
we're
gonna
find
that
great
home
for
Mac.
That's
going
to
be
understanding,
he's
not
going
to
be
a
catch.
A
You're
gonna
be
able
to
pick
up
and
spend
a
lot
of
time
with
on
your.
You
know
that
you're
gonna
carry
him
around
the
house
he's
just
not
that
kind
of
a
cat,
but
he
is
a
cat
that
will
probably
lay
up
on
the
couch
and
watch
TV
with
you
and
keep
your
leg
warm.
But
it's
just
so
important
that
a
cat
like
Mac
has
his
medication,
so
he's
not
suffering
from
the
pain
that
was
a
result
from
the
declaw
there's,
nothing
else,
but
the
declawed
that
caused
that
bone
fragments
there
in
his
toes.
A
So
again,
you
know
we
always
talk
about
not
declawing
cats
and
there's.
So
many
reasons
why?
If
you
look
at
the
number
of
reasons
why
you
would
be
a
declawed
cat,
it
all
has
to
do
with
furniture,
maybe
being
scratched
by
the
cat.
Things
like
that,
but
there's
so
many
reasons
why
you
wouldn't
do
this
to
a
cat
and
again
Mac
is
a
poster
child
for
not
declawing
a
cat.
A
I
can't
imagine
the
pain
that
he's
going
through
and
the
sensation
the
pain
that
he's
feeling
in
every
single
one
of
his
toes,
where
you
see
that
there
on
his
front,
paws
he's
also
declawed
in
the
back.
The
back
claws
do
not
show
any
bone
fragments
in
them,
so
there
is
some
arthritis
in
the
elbows
as
well
as
a
little
bit
in
the
back
that
some
of
the
other
x-rays
show,
but
Mac
is
a
very
special
kitty.
Unfortunately,
this
is
not
his
fault
and
his
behavior
is
not
his
fault,
it's
absolutely
because
he
was
declawed.
A
So
if
you
have
experience
with
cats,
you
understand
them,
you
can
work
with
them
and-
and
you
know
that
Mac
you
know,
is
going
to
have
the
this
pain
for
life
and
you
think
he
might
be
the
kitty
for
you
come
on
down
and
meet
him
we'd
love
to
introduce
you
to
him
and
see,
if
maybe
he's,
in
a
better
mood.
When
you
come
on
down
to
the
Ames
Animal
Shelter.
A
Thanks
again
for
tuning
in
today's
show,
we
really
appreciate
everybody
keep
an
eye
on
what's
happening
here
at
the
Ames
Animal
Shelter.
We
don't
have
any
dogs
right
now.
The
Fort
Dodge
Humane
Society
is
actually
on
their
way
down
right
now
from
Fort
Dodge,
bringing
us
one
of
their
dogs
that
they
needed
some
help
adopting
out
so
later
on.
Today,
unfortunately,
it's
not
here
for
the
TV
show,
but
I
understand
that
he
is
a
lab
mix.
Bulldog,
some
other
breed
I
can't
recall,
but
you'll
see
him
up
on
our
website.
A
15
minutes
after
he
arrives
here,
we'll
have
a
picture
of
him
up
there
with
some
basic
information
about
him.
So
keep
an
eye
on
our
web
site
a
lot
of
times
between
the
shows,
as
I
mentioned
before
the
dogs
come
in
and
they
get
adopted
and
you
don't
get
a
chance
to
see
them
on
the
show.
So
that's
a
good
thing
that
we
have
a
lot
of
a
dog
adoptions
and
they
go
really
quick,
but
it
doesn't
really
help
people
that
are
trying
to
look
for
animals
and
watch.
A
This
TV
show
looking
for
pets
so
always
keep
an
eye
on
our
website.
That's
updated
every
15
minutes,
it's
an
automatic
process.
So
if
an
animal's
picture
is
there
it's
here
at
the
Animal
Shelter
if
the
picture
disappears,
that
means
that
it's
probably
been
adopted,
but
you're
always
welcome
to
call
us,
and
we
can
give
you
that
information.
So
this
is
Ringo
he's
here
from
the
almost
home,
Humane
Society,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
in
the
show
they
just
arrived
before
we
finished
the
taping
for
today.
A
Ringo
is
a
very
nice
dog,
beautiful
dog
that
is
here
from
the
almost
home,
Humane
Society.
We
have
partnered
with
them
and
we're
very
proud
of
the
partnership
together
when
we
have
just
a
few
dogs
here
at
the
shelter
we
can
actually
work
with
them
and
try
to
help
them
place
some
of
their
very
deserving
and
great
dogs.
Here
and
Ringo
is
just
one
of
those.
A
So
we're
looking
forward
to
a
very
long
partnership
with
the
almost
home,
Humane,
Society
and
Rachael,
is
just
a
great
person
to
bring
them
all
the
way
down
here
from
Fort
Dodge
and
again,
we
can't
be
happier
to
partner
with
them
and
find
these
very
deserving
dogs,
their
forever
home.
So
come
on
down
if
you'd
like
to
meet
Ringo
he's,
probably
gonna
need
a
few
days
to
adjust,
but
I'm
sure
he's
gonna
fit
in
very
well
here
with
us
and
he's
become
one
of
the
favorites
here.
