- [Julie] This is how Spanky treats the things he loves,
with moderate aggression.
No shade to you,
but commitment to me
sounds a lot like being institutionalized.
Committed.
- And the the idea of, like,
being with someone for a really long period of time,
or like, for life,
it's kind of like nerve wracking.
- My heart wants love,
but like, it's just too hard.
(laughing)
(gasping)
- Hi!
(laughing)
- Oh my god.
- I don't think anybody is truly ready
for anything in this world.
We just get handed things, and we go with it.
So, I think there's no real perfect time
to foster a dog.
It's just, you have to be loving,
and you have to be committed..
- He's so cute.
Can I have some tissue.
Okay, guys, I brought home a dog.
- [Woman] Oh my god, wait.
Is it a he or she?
- [Mylesha] She.
- [Woman] Welcome to your new home.
- [Julie] Where are you taking...
You can't open it.
Look, I'll give it to you out of the bag.
It's okay.
- [Woman] Do it.
- He's already managed to rip my jeans.
But, luckily, he's cute,
so I don't mind too much, right?
- [Mylesha] This is a white carpet.
I'm trying to just go...
Go to sleep, okay.
(puppy crying)
He keeps on crying because this is his first night.
I have to go to sleep Bo.
- Ow, you're such a (bleeping).
Are you biting toes?
- [Ike] Ow, ow, ow.
Ow, that is my toe.
- This is day two of adventures with Emmett.
And I think he's grown to like me.
Be good, I'll be back soon.
Come on, I have to get to work.
Emmett just ran out of the apartment.
I almost lost him.
- [Ike] Spanky, Spankaroni.
(puppy whimpering)
- [Julie] Okay, let's go downstairs.
- [Ike] What's wrong?
- I'm trying to eat.
Emmett won't stop jumping.
Are you gonna let me eat?
Oh!
I think he might be able to jump out.
He is still very awake.
I don't know if I walked him enough.
- How do I look?
- [Ike] Fetching, fetching.
- [Julie] We're at our friends house,
and he keeps crying.
(puppy whimpering)
And everybody says not to feed into it,
but it's not easy.
- It's before 8:30.
I don't think I've ever been up this early on a Sunday.
Now he's gonna take a poop.
That's what he does.
Finding a better spot.
Yep, there we go.
- [Julie] So, this is our morning routine now.
Someone wakes up very early,
and he's super energetic, and likes to bite everything.
Then he tires himself out,
and then he goes to sleep.
- Still not a morning person.
Oh, he's going poo.
- This is the hardest part, when I have to go to work.
I started to learn to give him a treat,
and make him sit down and then leave,
and that usually worked.
Because, when I would throw the ball,
he would like fake me out,
and then run out the door.
- [Julie] Alright, we'll do it.
We'll do it together.
Turns out, bribery works wonders.
- [Ike] Wonders.
Got him to like coming up and down the stairs,
to collect the treats.
- [Julie] He wants 'em, he wants 'em.
