Transcript
00:02Pepper always has so much energy.
00:04Please tell me he didn't get into your cold brew.
00:06No, but you were right.
00:07Cutting back on treats actually really helped.
00:09He's literally perfect.
00:10I have to take a photo of everything that we do together,
00:12and it's giving me carpal tunnel.
00:14I've seen some of his posts.
00:15He's got a fun little social following.
00:17Well, thanks.
00:18There, see?
00:19This is exactly what I'm talking about.
00:20How can I not post this perfect little pup?
00:23Do your thing, girl.
00:24You should post his trick.
00:26I tried, but he gets camera shy.
00:28Here, let me try it with the clicker.
00:32I did it!
00:33Bless you, Pepper.
00:37If only I could train a man with this clicker.
00:39I don't think you can.
00:41I know that.
00:47How could we lose my phone?
00:48I swear we just had it.
00:51Did you hear that?
00:53Where is that?
00:55What's happening?
00:58What?
00:59Of course it's under your delicious old tushy.
01:05What?
01:08Look at this, Pepper.
01:10How is this happening?
01:111,200 new followers.
01:13Look, everyone's reposting you.
01:14Thank you, Internet!
01:15What?
01:17You know what this calls for?
01:18Celebratory selfie!
01:20Oh!
01:20Oh!
01:21Wait just a second.
01:24What?
01:24My ex still follows us.
01:26Don't judge.
01:26Oh!
01:29Man.
01:37Oh!
02:39Did you hear that?
02:40We're going to hit one million followers.
02:42That means new leash for you, new shoes for mommy.
02:55Oh, I got to take this.
02:58Hello?
02:59Yes.
03:01Yep.
03:02Yeah.
03:039 a.m. works perfectly.
03:04Our first national commercial.
03:06I'll be right back.
03:07Don't let Pepper on the new couch.
03:09Yes.
03:09That's amazing.
03:10Like human tissues or do you mean dog tissues?
03:24Come on, pup.
03:26Excuse me.
03:27The dog, it's not sneezing.
03:31He.
03:32He's not sneezing.
03:33Do you try the clicker?
03:34Of course I tried the clicker.
03:36Okay.
03:36Just give me a second.
03:38Pepper, Pepper.
03:40You ready?
03:41Come on, peps.
03:43Okay.
03:44Um, everyone, if you'll just give me a second, I'm just going to make a quick phone call.
03:48Just take one sec.
03:52One sec.
03:54Hey, stranger.
03:55Hey, I need your help.
03:56I feel like Pepper's built up a tolerance to the clicker.
04:00Is that a thing?
04:01How's he been eating?
04:03I think he's doing that intermittent fasting thing.
04:06Sleeping?
04:07Well, you know, our schedule's been a bit all over the place, so.
04:10Honestly, Dani, I haven't heard from you since this whole social media thing blew up.
04:14And, you know, if you're this busy, maybe Mr. Pepper needs a break, too.
04:18Brilliant.
04:19I'll take him for a walk.
04:19Thanks, Al.
04:20Oh, wait.
04:21A walk isn't really what I had in mind.
04:25What should we do for lunch today?
04:28I can't do another sandwich, Percy.
04:30I keep eating sandwiches.
04:32Great job.
04:32Let's just take a quick, uh, quick break.
04:34Just going to steal this little guy.
04:35Don't worry.
04:36I'm not trying to be in it.
04:37Unless you want me in it.
04:38We'll talk about it later.
04:39Doesn't matter.
04:40Oh, look at me.
04:40Head in the file.
04:41Dumb, dumb.
04:42Okay.
04:43Uh, yep.
04:43See you soon.
04:49Oh, my God.
04:50Is that the Bless You job?
04:53Oh.
04:53Oh, my God.
04:54Do you mind if we take a picture?
04:55Yes.
04:55Sure.
04:57Hello, Pepper.
04:59Oh, wait.
04:59Hold on.
05:00Just a second.
05:00Put the job you filter on.
05:02I'm serious.
05:02You guys.
05:03Can you back up and just do one at a time?
05:05Okay.
05:05I need to get the leash.
05:06I'm serious.
05:07Excuse me.
05:07I need to get the leash.
05:08No, no, no, no.
05:09Shoot.
05:10Pepper!
05:11Pepper!
05:12Bless you!
05:14I got it.
05:15It's perfect.
05:16Is it perfect?
05:17Perfect?
05:18I got it.
05:19It's perfect.
05:20Unbelievable.
05:27What?
05:28Oh, my God.
05:48Hello?
05:49Someone brought Pepper in. He's here, and he's safe.
05:51Get down here.
05:52Oh, okay. I'm coming right there, okay?
05:59Oh, Pepper, Pepper, Pepper, don't ever do that to me again.
06:02You scared me off the duck.
06:03So, Dani, when I was talking about Pepper needing a break,
06:06I meant not just a walk, but, you know, a break.
06:11Like, maybe only a couple appearances a week.
06:15You know, Pepper's been one of my most energetic patients.
06:18Last time I saw him, he was the happiest he's ever been,
06:20and now I think he's exhausted, overwhelmed, and stressed out.
06:26But are those even things? Like, even dog things?
06:30Dogs are sensitive just like us.
06:32You know, sun changes can make them feel anxious,
06:34can wipe them out.
06:35So maybe Pepper doesn't want to be a star.
06:38Maybe Pepper wants to be silly with his silly mom, Dani.
06:43Maybe Pepper wants to be the poster dog
06:46for canine burnout awareness.
06:48Dani.
06:49I'm doing it again.
06:50Hashtag yes.
06:52Did I say that right?
06:53Yeah, it was good.
06:55Can we talk about this leash?
06:57Oh, is it stressing Pepper out?
06:58No, it's stressing me out.
07:01It's loud.
07:10Bless you, dog, is no more.
07:13It's just Pepper again.
07:15Pepper and silly Dani.
07:17Aw, get up here, peps.
07:19At least we get to keep the couch, right?
07:22I love you, baby.
07:23Yes, I do.
07:24Give mama kisses.
07:25Give mama kisses.
07:26Yes.
07:27Ooh.
07:28Oh, you look so cute right now,
07:29but I'm not going to take a picture.
07:30I'm in the moment.
07:31I'm in the moment.
07:33I'm in the moment.
07:33I'm...
07:33I can't see you.
07:34Everything happens.
07:51All right.
07:52Oh, let me see.
07:54Bye.
07:55Bye.
07:59Bye.
07:59Bye.
08:02Bye.
08:02Bye.
08:02Bye.
08:03Bye.
