Oh, it's time now for Am I the A-Hole on Mojo in the Morning. This is where you get to tell us what you did, and then we will decide whether or not we think what you did was a-hole-ish. Please don't swear if you can keep from saying the actual word. This is a voice memo that was sent to us. Actually, what is it? What the hell is it called? Talkback on the iHeartRadio app.

00:02:26 - 00:02:52 | Speaker 2:

Hi, my name is Jackie. My issue is I'm a single mom with kids and money's tight. And my dog got very sick and it just became too much for me to keep financially, you know, taking care of the dog and my family at the same time. So I had to put him down. And I want to know, am I a bad person for doing this?

00:02:52 - 00:03:16 | Speaker 6:

are you thank you are you a bad person or are you an a-hole for doing this well i guess it all depends on on what the circumstances were as far as the dog's health is concerned uh jackie is on with us jackie are you there yeah i'm here first off i'm sorry to hear about your dog so jackie what was the illness that your dog had that you uh put your dog down well um it

00:03:16 - 00:03:46 | Speaker 2:

illness it's an aging process but cataracts your dog had cataracts yeah and um that's why you put it down well it was a lot of it was just the bills were just piling up that what they wanted to do and they could do this and that and uh it was hard to watch the dog bump into things all the time and you know but uh wow it was yeah it was a lot of money all right so hold on hold on

00:03:46 - 00:03:52 | Speaker 6:

I just Googled this. How much for dog cataract surgery? Was it cataract in both eyes or just one eye?

00:03:52 - 00:03:54 | Speaker 2:

Yeah, both eyes.

00:03:54 - 00:03:57 | Speaker 6:

It says between $2,500 and $4,000 per eye.

00:03:58 - 00:04:00 | Speaker 2:

I know. Charlie has cataracts, though, and he just...

00:04:00 - 00:04:03 | Speaker 6:

He just kind of walks in the walls. He doesn't, though. No?

00:04:03 - 00:04:06 | Speaker 2:

He doesn't. Maybe he doesn't have that bad. I don't know.

00:04:06 - 00:04:22 | Speaker 6:

It says the average cost of canine cataract surgery can range between $2,500 and $4,000 our eye. If cataracts impound your dog's quality of life, cataract surgery can help to relieve the pain and improve the dog's vision. She just couldn't see a future

00:04:22 - 00:04:27 | Speaker 2:

with him. How old's your dog? Oh, 16. 16.

00:04:27 - 00:04:32 | Speaker 6:

Oh, God. Oh, that's an old dog. You still can't kill him because he can't

00:04:32 - 00:04:37 | Speaker 2:

see. Yeah, I know, but my kids are so mad at me now. They don't understand. I mean, 16

00:04:37 - 00:04:38 | Speaker 1:

is...

00:04:38 - 00:04:59 | Speaker 6:

Alright, is that a reason to put your dog down uh 844 mojo live is jackie an a-hole 844-665-6548 we put our uh dog lily down that's the only dog that we actually had to uh to ever put down um it was the most traumatic situation ever

00:05:00 - 00:05:12 | Speaker 1:

uh, my family literally for weeks was, uh, was depressed. Um, it was awful. I can only imagine how this must have been. Did you tell that your kids that you had to put the dog down or did you

00:05:12 - 00:05:31 | Speaker 3:

just tell the kids that the dog died? No, I said, I, I was honest with them and you told, you know, it's easy to tell the truth. Yeah. I said it was just, I explained it was like quality of life and we don't want the dog to suffer okay and but they were still mad okay they don't understand i was

00:05:31 - 00:05:39 | Speaker 1:

gonna say you would definitely be in a an a-hole if you lied about it but i would understand if you did lie about it especially if you got young kids and you're a single mom back up what's going

00:05:39 - 00:06:26 | Speaker 6:

on is uh jackie an a-hole not an a-hole my heart hurts for her i actually was just having this conversation with someone recently about like how so many animals end up in the pound and animal shelters because so many single parents or just families in general can't afford animal care these days and then they're just stuck in the shelter and so many shelters can't even afford those surgeries themselves because it's non-profit and their quality of life just decreases nobody adopts them and they just sit there and like she said this dog was 16 and i mean my parents they just spent eight like eight thousand dollars to get both of their dog's eyes removed due to cataracts and she was 14 and only lived like another year and they were like they had to have the eyes removed

00:06:26 - 00:06:34 | Speaker 1:

hold on I ain't never heard they just took the eyes out they took the eyes out

00:06:34 - 00:06:52 | Speaker 6:

took both the eyes out she had no eyes so what was she doing what was going on she was walking into the walls yeah it was so it was bad cataracts and then they did the cataract surgery and then it's almost been six months so they were like okay well we have to remove her eyes Oh, my God. Because of, like, the disease and everything.

00:06:53 - 00:07:04 | Speaker 2:

There is a lady in my neighborhood who has, same dog as Charlie, a toy poodle. With no eyes? It has cataracts really bad, and I don't think the dog can walk very well, but she still takes it on walks every day in a stroller.

00:07:04 - 00:07:08 | Speaker 1:

Wow. What's up, Darlene? Hi. Is Jackie an a-hole?

00:07:09 - 00:07:46 | Speaker 5:

No, she isn't. Because recently, just a couple months ago, I had to put two of my dogs down. Oh, my gosh. They were only a year and a half. I let them out in the yard. They were pit bulls and Great Dane mix, but they were tall. But I let them out in the back like I always do. And another dog jumped the fence, mauled both of them. And they told me that the damage to their legs would cost me for each dog $4,500. So I had to put them down.

00:07:46 - 00:07:49 | Speaker 2:

Oh, I am so sorry. I can hear it in your voice.

00:07:49 - 00:08:20 | Speaker 5:

because their legs were chewed off and the pain was horrible i did pay to try to fix it but when i took them back for the re-thing they told me i would have to have surgery on both of them and it's going to cost me more than what i had and he belongs to my great grandson oh i am He don't, too. They were his love of mine. Yeah, well, poor Darlene. Thank you, Darlene. Because you have to do what you have to do.

00:08:20 - 00:08:34 | Speaker 1:

You're a sweet lady. By the way, Darlene sounds like she should be a voice actress. She's got that voice, doesn't she? She's got a little bit. She's upset. Darlene, I love you, Darlene.

00:08:34 - 00:08:38 | Speaker 5:

Thank you, and I listen to you every morning. God bless you.

00:08:38 - 00:08:41 | Speaker 1:

God bless you. What was your dog's name?

00:08:41 - 00:08:42 | Unknown:

She had two.

00:08:42 - 00:08:42 | Speaker 1:

Two dogs.

00:08:42 - 00:08:47 | Speaker 5:

One was Pee-wee. The female was Isis, and the male was called Pee-wee. Wait.

00:08:47 - 00:08:48 | Speaker 1:

You had a dog named Isis?

00:08:49 - 00:08:50 | Speaker 5:

Oh, my God.

00:08:50 - 00:08:56 | Speaker 1:

She was all- Did you also have a dog named Al-Qaeda? Or what is going on? That's the cat's name.

00:08:56 - 00:09:04 | Speaker 5:

She was- Isis was all white, and she had a black- Okay. All right. Pee-wee was white with brown spots.

00:09:05 - 00:09:10 | Speaker 1:

Oh, my Lord. Okay. All right. Well, thank you. Thank you for the call, there. No, you're welcome. Take care.

00:09:10 - 00:09:10 | Unknown:

Bye.

00:09:10 - 00:09:18 | Speaker 1:

You kind of can't eat your purse. Hold on. Amber, everybody's been saying that Jackie's not an a-hole except you. What's up?

00:09:19 - 00:09:37 | Speaker 4:

I think that Jackie might be an a-hole because, you know, if the dog had cataracts, she could have rehomed him and somebody would have continued to love him, whether he bumped into stuff or not, and, you know, continued to give him a good life for the rest of his days, you know?

00:09:38 - 00:09:48 | Speaker 1:

So even if the dog was bumping into walls at home and having to, like, you know, be taken care of, if she didn't do the surgery, everything would have been okay. She doesn't have to spend any money.

00:09:48 - 00:09:56 | Speaker 4:

There are people that would love that dog regardless if he was bumping into walls and, you know, give him a good space to live in.

00:09:56 - 00:10:06 | Speaker 1:

Because that one caller that called up, I think I agree with them. you're putting a lot of stress on the shelters by giving them a bad dog. A bad dog.

00:10:07 - 00:10:10 | Speaker 4:

Yeah. There's a better way to say that.

00:10:10 - 00:10:16 | Speaker 1:

There's a better way to say that. He's got issues. You know what I mean?

00:10:17 - 00:10:18 | Speaker 4:

There's a home for everybody.

00:10:19 - 00:10:21 | Speaker 1:

And I will tell you this.

00:10:22 - 00:10:24 | Speaker 4:

Kevin is on the floor.

00:10:24 - 00:10:33 | Speaker 1:

Dog people get crazy. If you're spending more money on your dog than you are on your kids, then I think that that's a wrong thing. Don't take food out of your baby's mouth.

00:10:35 - 00:10:46 | Speaker 4:

Well, I guess I can't speak to having kids because I only have pets. Yeah, I understand. But I understand where she's coming from. I can see her side. But at the same time, there's somebody out there that would have loved that dog continuously.

00:10:46 - 00:11:18 | Speaker 6:

If the dog's age makes me change my opinion a little bit about that. The dog's 16 years old, but still, I mean, my dog is 15 and a half. Shannon wants to put me down. she's like my dog is 15 and a half and i pray that he goes in his sleep so i don't have to make that decision because i could never ever ever make that decision or get hit by a car no oh my god no what's up caitlin hey hi what's going on oh nothing just listening i i mean i the dog is

00:11:18 - 00:11:25 | Speaker 5:

old that makes me feel a little less of an a-hole from her but still i feel like she didn't need to

00:11:25 - 00:11:31 | Speaker 1:

kill the dog you know agree jackie i think you're fine but don't she's on there say talk to jackie

00:11:31 - 00:11:45 | Speaker 3:

caitlin you just said that oh hey jackie jackie hi hi how you doing good i'm doing good it was a hard decision but you know yeah i'm a single mom and it's about it you know it's hard

00:11:45 - 00:11:55 | Speaker 5:

My cat lost his leg Last year So I feel ya But

00:11:55 - 00:12:15 | Speaker 1:

We have by the way These two idiots What is wrong We've got dogs with no eyes We've got cats with no legs What is going on Can we get all these animals together And let's all have like a Like a A deformed.

00:12:18 - 00:12:20 | Speaker 4:

Did you just say a preformed actor?

00:12:20 - 00:12:42 | Speaker 1:

No, she said a deformed. But that's even worse. No, let's have everybody's crazy animals come together. And let's all celebrate our animals that have a little problem or something. Jackie, I feel bad for you. But everybody seems to be really nice to you, though. Look at these texters that are coming in. Man.

00:12:43 - 00:12:45 | Speaker 3:

Well, that helps me a lot. Your kids will get over it.

00:12:46 - 00:12:51 | Speaker 1:

Yeah, your kids will deal with it. Jessica, what's up? Hi.

00:12:52 - 00:13:02 | Speaker 2:

Hi, Mojo. How are you? So Jackie is, I'm good. Jackie is definitely an A.H. I'm sorry. She is. I can't believe people are saying she's not.

00:13:02 - 00:13:09 | Speaker 1:

Well, I think that people are understanding that it's a 16-year-old dog, and it would have cost her a lot of money.

00:13:09 - 00:13:45 | Speaker 2:

so i actually work at a vet you don't have to have cataract surgery right for dogs yes so it's i mean obviously the the doctor is going to recommend it just but there's other things you can do like eye drops or or stuff like that to keep them like out of pain yeah so yes so she just i I think if that was the only reason, just the cataracts, and there was no issues as far as, like, eating, drinking, going to the bathroom, then she's definitely an AH for putting her dog down for just cataracts.

00:13:45 - 00:13:52 | Speaker 1:

With working at a vet's office, what is the craziest reason why somebody put their dog down?

00:13:52 - 00:14:12 | Speaker 2:

sometimes well we don't do it for just like convenience but so this guy like had to move and he couldn't bring his cats with him and he wanted to to euthanize his cats because he couldn't take them wow but we wouldn't we wouldn't you know it has to be a legit reason yeah you can't

00:14:12 - 00:14:29 | Speaker 1:

just okay yeah i can't have them nobody can yeah thank you for the call ryan what did you want to Say, Ryan, it's Am I the A-Hole here on Mojo in the Morning. Hi. Hi. I just wanted to say I think it's a case for bad dog law. Or bad dog. No, no. No, top dog law.
