Welcome to the Absolute Dog Sex and a Squirrel podcast. I'm Lauren Langman. I'm one of the world's leading dog trainers and it's my mission to help owners become their dog's top priority. In each episode, you'll discover how to gain trust and

communicate with your dog like never before, creating unbreakable bonds that make you the most

exciting part of their world. So my story is that recently we had to have one of our little

goats put to sleep. And for me, whether they're my goat or my chicken or my dog, I always feel sad.

And having to make that call for any animal, I personally feel is not only our responsibility,

it's our duty.

And it's a right that we have in animals currently that we

definitely don't have in humans where I live. And it's sad, right? It's sad. And the day came

And I know the call and I rang the vet and the vet came out. And as the vet's trying to raise

multi veins and

this little goat is behaving herself beautifully, like being the nicest little goat and she's a

sweet little goat. And we're trying to raise the veins and we've shaved three different spots

on her now. And to have an animal cope with being shaved, let alone cornered to do it, is testament to their temperament
