(gentle music) - I have two dogs, Lala and Jerry.
We don't actually know how old either of them are because they're both rescues.
Lala was a street dog in Costa Rica and she got pregnant.
And then as quite often happens, you know, a vet took her in and she had her puppies.
And then all her puppies were adopted and nobody wanted Lala.
I can't believe that.
She's the most cute dog in the world.
And what was hilarious was that I, you know, within 48 hours of her being with us, she was mentioned in Page Six, the gossip column in the "New York Post."
(laughing) 'Cause that's my life.
Jerry is a rat terrier Chihuahua combo.
When we got him, the people said he was from Tennessee, from a kill shelter in Tennessee.
So he's a southern gentleman.
Lala is a concheta from Costa Rica.
And his nicknames, he has many nicknames.
So it's, his name's Jerry, I'll also call him Jeremy, Jezmund, Jeremiah Crawfish Pariah.
And her nickname is the La, Lulu, Lala Lu.
What else do I got?
Oh, Catfish 'cause she has one white whisker now, so I call her Catfish.
Lala, having been a street dog, never had toys.
She's not interested in toys at all, actually.
I mean, she'll occasionally, you know, chew a blanket or something, but it's just not like that at all.
And Jerry loves a toy though.
But he has this toy, he's quite little, you know, he's like little, but he has a bottle, it's a champagne bottle.
And it's called something like, you know, Wolf and Shined On.
It's got some sort of doggy pun on it.
Can't remember.
When he has it in his mouth, practically his whole body is obscured 'cause it's such a big toy.
And I just love that when he gets really excited, he hits the bottle.
They have a very lovely relationship.
They're not like, they don't, Jerry's an old man and you know, but they have a very sort of, and Jerry's more bonded to Grant and Lala's more bonded to me, sort of thing.
And so if they're apart what I love is when dogs have been apart when you see them first come together, it's a really great indication of how much they like each other.
And she, I love, they both run to each other and kind of have a little check in.
There's just such a sort of strong, essential and kind of you know, physical bond that you have with these animals.
And you become a pack, like we always say when we've been apart, when we're back together again, we say, "The pack is back."
