    Thanks for letting me know about Teddy's passing and how it happened. RIP Teddy.
    The next episode (where Big Ed gets shot at) is already recorded since we're getting ahead for holidays. I talk about Teddy again so if you think its weird that I don't mention he's passed then thats why.

    As someone who is studying to become a dog groomer, watching Ed bathe his dog physically hurt.
    Mistakes he made:
    1. Bathing Teddy outside in what is most likely cold water
    2. Not allowing Teddy to get used to the water first by starting with the dog's rear
    3. Using a god damn SPONGE, DOGS AREN'T CARS - YOU WOULDN'T USE A SPONGE FOR YOUR OWN HAIR
    4. Dear god please tell me he wasn't actually using soap, you need to use proper dog shampoo that caters to their specific skin and coat needs
    5. SUDS STRAIGHT IN THE EYES; THIS IS WHY YOU USE YOUR HANDS
    6. Jesus Christ Teddy is a tiny little thing, that manhandling literally looked like he was trying to drown the poor thing
    And apparently poor Teddy passed away recently because Ed neglected to take him to the vet after he was breathing strangely.
    This man should not be allowed to have animals.

    Hi, professional dog groomer here! That clip of Ed bathing Teddy . . . Painful, literally awful. That’s not even just an inexperienced pet parent, that’s just someone who just wants to clean their dog (and doing a poor job of it too). Teddy was clearly uncomfortable, trying to get away and bathing that small of a dog (a toy poodle nonetheless, who can’t regulate their own temperature as well because of their hair) in that weather? Outside? Awful. Also, they say on the bottle to keep it AWAY from the eyes! I know that bottle, that’s Tropiclean. Keep it away from the eyes, and always use eyewash after. They make tearless face wash for that reason, and Tropiclean sells it too! That’s just basic pet grooming. Anyway. RIP Teddy. Ed seems like the poster child for a negligent pet owner.

    Ed trying to wash Teddy is an example of why these reality shows on TLC are pure shit. Early in the video, we see a photo of Ed and Teddy together where Teddy appears to be clean and has a neatly trimmed coat, which means that he likely was taken to the groomer on a somewhat regular basis and Ed probably didn't wash him himself. The only reason he was giving him a bath here is for the benefit of the cameras. So this poor dog, who Ed claimed to have loved and adored so much, is dunked in pool of cold water, roughly washed with a sponge and had soap splashed in his eyes, just so TLC can portray another wacky moment in Ed's life.

    • @jodyknight
      @jodyknight 2 роки тому +1

    I recently escaped a toxic long term DV relationship with nothing but clothes for me and my kids, so finding you guys has been a saviour for me in this time! I genuinely belly laugh and feel happy for a while when I watch you both!
    So, thank you for being effing hilarious and my kinda folk 🤟🖤

    If Ed has money for "sugar babies" then how does he not have money to just take the dog to a professional groomer?
    Or at least use your bathtub with warm water, its not like Teddy is too big for it.

    While re-watching this episode, I realized the producers are absolutely ruthless towards Big Ed. Zooming in on that poor dog with soap in his eyes while Ed was trying to gain sympathy from the audience was just... I'm convinced that whoever edits this show hates Ed.
    Also, of COURSE Ed only cares about what his dog can do for his emotional state.

      Yeah and according to other comments the dog probably died from getting water in its lungs; apparently Ed just left it to suffer and die while he went to sleep instead. They're saying it was some kind of breathing issue, and based on how he's washing the dog its possible water got in its lungs and it got pneumonia or something.

    Hi Ken and buff, it’s 10pm on Tuesday (12/14/21) I know you might not see this but I lost my mom on 12/2/21 at 6:22pm, this is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to go through. I’m 28 and an only child. I take care of my uncle who is disabled and I work a full time job, I also have 4 dogs. I’ve been planning my moms service and this is so stressful for me so at the end of the day I lay in bed to catch up on your videos. This is relaxation to me, this is my time to get away from the world. Thank you for giving me the escape that I need.
