    At times, I wished Letterman did a special green room edition of pet tricks, especially for the animals that were obviously scared of set lights and live audience cheers. The dog "Lady" doing push-ups was a hoot for 1984 standards, this must be where Madonna got the move for her September 14, 1984 MTV Video Music Awards performance!!

    We had a turtle for like 10 years when I was a kid... his name was Elvis and we found him in the woods in Mississippi... but then my dad let my brother take him and he lost him about a week later... but a few years ago, my mom was driving home from Mississippi back to Utah, and whilst crossing the river at Vicksburg, saw another turtle crossing the road about to get run over so she stopped and picked him up and brought him back to Utah I have been taking care of him ever since lol his name is Frank n I built him a little cage in my backyard for the summertime and he lives inside during winter

    i dont think one of these pet segments ever made me feel as bad for the animals before as this one did. that poor cat just getting twisted and yanked all around, the ferret getting sick then no one cleaning it up as they are still up there wandering around, then that poor turtle confined to a god damn sink for decades.

    • @straingedays
      @straingedays 4 місяці тому

      Thought the same thing. Cats are naturally terrified in situations like this and the owner doing what they did made me feel so sad for that kitty. Ferrets being sick from terror and their owner then forcing their natural hunting curiosity was awful, plus they don't smell, it's their musk. Then that poor turtle. She said they'd found it (taken from its home), had it for 18yrs, still didn't know its breed or age and lived in a basement sink (at best a foot square of stainless steel in a dark windowless room), yet only learned to torment it with food for a laugh.
