2.9: The GRIT That Binds... Be Part of the Solution, Not the Problem

So You Want to Run a Dog Rescue

In 2.9, hosts Jenny and Ashlyn deep dive into the significance of 'grit' in rescue work; they live it every day - highlighted in a firefighting segment of "Not Your 9 to 5" - and love to see it in the community they are building. (Plus, Jenny sees it every day, tattooed on her arm.) The main topic centers on being a part of the solution, not the problem, applauding fosters and partners who exemplify this spirit. In a laugh-out-loud Crazy Folder, they recount a Moon Door worthy meet-and-greet with Freya showcasing what not to do (hint: don't be a douchebag). Stay tuned after the outro to hear why this episode was almost called "saggy dog nipples" and tune in next week for a big saggy nipple related surprise.
