Paw-sitively Surprising: Evan Engel’s Double Dog Decision

In this delightful episode of "Dog Friendly," host Brandon Bennett interviews Evan Engel, a Longmont native and dedicated crane operator who shares his heartwarming journey into dog ownership. Initially considering getting just one dog, Evan and his significant other unexpectedly welcomed two adorable companions into their lives within a month. With a shared history of growing up alongside dogs, they felt the need to fill the void left by the passing of Evan's childhood dog.

Evan reflects on how integral dogs have been to his life and the joy they bring, emphasizing the bond he and his partner have cultivated with their new furry friends. Their lively duo includes Chewy, a spirited lab mix who excels off-leash and has a particular fondness for brewery outings, and Georgia, a lovable French Bulldog known for her quirky personality, including her obsession with popcorn and cheese. Evan shines a light on Georgia's less social nature, providing a charming contrast to Chewy's outgoing demeanor.

Listeners are treated to entertaining anecdotes of home training and the adventures the family embarks on together, including off-roading trips to beautiful destinations like Moab. Evan's lively storytelling captures the essence of their shared experiences, illustrating how their dogs enrich their lives and strengthen their bond as a couple.

and we're back with another great episode of Dog Fenley.  I was outta the country last week, tried to get a episode up, but I failed miserably. But in any case, a lot of buts. I have a great, uh, interview that I, uh, sat down with.  At uh, Grossenbart Brewery before I left, uh, I actually did the interview hours before I left to great ol Japan to hit some of that J PAL.

Evan Ingle,  man, what a lively, awesome guy, and you'll hear it in his voice and his passion for dogs in this week's episode, so without further ado, we've got Evan.  Alpine Howl, uh, brings to you Dog Friendly. So, it's a podcast about talking about our dogs. Um, I'm Brandon, the host. I own Alpine Howl and produce this podcast.

Uh, started off Easy Kicker, um,  full name,  and what do you do?  Uh, my name is Evan Engel. I am a crane operator. And production manager. Crane operator, wow! That's uh, we're gonna, we got some family in here. Some friends that, we're gonna feel the table pull a little bit. But these two are just, they're good.

Don't spill my beer.  It's okay, they're just so happy. So happy to see uh, uncle uh, Gunner and uh, Auntie Marissa. They, they, they know these two very well, so. Um, but a crane operator and uh, but you, you have a dog here. I got Chewy with me. He's the better behaved of the two. Yeah, yeah, uh, Chewy, you have two dogs?

Yes. Oh, okay, what's uh, uh, well let's start off with Chewy. What kind of dog is Chewy? Uh, Chewy is kind of a lab mutt.  We're, we're, we're getting all funky around. It's all good. Yeah. No, my, my dogs are the same way. But, um, keep talking in to the microphone. Um, I'm going to get, get myself into a little bit more of.

Yeah. All right. So you're good. Yeah, we picked up Chewy and Pound, um, not last Thanksgiving, but Thanksgiving before. Um, we had finally went through, um, our process being in home without a dog. Okay. And, we're both, uh, my significant other and I are both like, yeah, we need, need a dog in the house. Um,  she had her eyes on one at night in the Boulder Humane Society.

Okay. And we went and looked at it and I'm like, uh, I don't know. Um, so we went to the Longmont Humane Society. I saw Chewy. Yeah. And he was just adorable. Yeah. So I'm like, hell yeah. So we picked Chewy up. Uh, Stephanie really had her eyes on a French Bulldog. Okay. That was at the Humane Society, but, uh, she wasn't available yet. 

And, so we had Chewy for about two weeks, and then Um, my significant other Stephanie told her dad to pick up the French Bulldog and he goes message received wink wink.  Um, so two weeks later we had the Frenchie dropped off at our house as well. No kidding. So we went from a zero dog household to a two dog household in under a month.

Holy cow. So it was definitely an adjustment period. Yeah.  It's been wonderful. Yeah. And, uh, did you grow up, uh, you and Stephanie, right? Is your significant other? Yes. Did you, did you all grow up with dogs or, you know?  Since I can remember, um,  what my first dog was Hannah. Technically it was my brother's dog, but it was just the family dog.

Yeah. Um, super sweet. Like, uh, Golden Retriever, Springer Spaniel mix.  Always growled when you tried to take her boat. Yeah, but super sweet dog  She passed pretty when I was pretty young okay  A couple years went by, time, night, let's look at getting another dog. We got, uh, Janie, who is half Lab, half Rhodesian Ridgeback.

Wow. Big dog. Yeah. And loved the water, loved chasing stuff. Cool. She was, she was a great dog as I went through high school. Yeah. She was, like, her and I were inseparable. We were out doing everything together. Where did you grow up, if you mind me asking? Here in Longmont. Oh, cool.  South side here. Okay. So your pups here, you took them to the reservoirs or where do, where was this? 

Reservoir really often, the airport really often.  Both of these dogs had kind of sheltered lives before we got a hold of them. Yeah.  Chewy is much more timid in nature. Okay. Um, he does wonderful playing frisbee golf. He'll go and run around the course with us. Cool. Have a great time. Um, Georgia just wants to chew on frisbees.

Yeah. Ha ha ha. That's. Right. She loves car rides and pub cups. Yeah. But doesn't do the best around like. Like, high social functions, or like, new people, or like,  high energy situations, she gets riled up a little too easily. Sure. So, we're doing our best to try to socialize her with other dogs, but it's been a mixed bag.

Sure. And, uh, getting it sprung on you with just two dogs out of, you know, within a month, like, what was that transition like? Take us through, like, from zero to two. In, you know, 60 seconds.  How, what was that like?  Um, looking back on it, I zero super quiet household, super clean house.  We all know that. No, no problems whatsoever.

Um, but.  I get stressed out at work, so I come home, I'm super quiet. Stephanie, she works from home, and she gets stressed out, so it's just kind of a super quiet household. Yeah. We're like, we gotta, we gotta do something. And I'm like, alright, let's, let's get a dog. Yeah. It gives us an excuse to go out and go on walks, go do things.

Sure. Have fun. And I, we, we picked up Chewy. Um.  Super kind of timid dog, so he just did his own thing for pretty much a week. I just, I hear some food, let's go on a walk, have fun. He's got a,  he refuses to go to the bathroom in our yard. So he'll sit out and keep guard of our backyard against the squirrels all day.

Yeah.  But, like, come breakfast and dinnertime, he's, like, we physically have to take him on a walk before he'll go to the bathroom. Wait, so do you have a yard at all, or? Yeah, so I have a decent sized yard, I have a koi pond, and it's the best. World's largest dog bowl. He'll drink out of it all day long, but I just refuses.

I  Maybe I don't have enough green grass or enough bushes because he always likes kind of tucking up next to a bush sure  but yeah, Georgia doesn't mind and Chewie's just weird. He's gotta go on his walk. That's his uh, hold out. That's interesting. You're gonna have to walk me one way or another. I, I wonder how, what, what's that, you know, what's that instinct of like, I can't be in it on my yard or dad's yard or whatever, you know?

That's, it's a question that, why? Right? Yeah. Um, well, that's, that's awesome. So two dogs in, in a month. What, uh,  What was the spark, the moment they said you needed it, or wanted a dog? What, take me through, like, what was, did you guys converse about it? Was it a year process? What, what was that like between you and Steph?

Um,  so, Stephanie's dog, she had had for a number of years. Um, when, um, her grandma's dog passed,  we're like, okay, like, like, here, like, take my dog, like, keep track of her, like, cause her grandma always did better with a companion. Um.  And, um, we left Stephanie's dog at her grandparents house for a number of years and then Stephanie's grandma started falling into worse and worse health.

So we're like, okay, like, so we had Stephanie's dog for quite a while. And,  uh, she was old. She had her health problems. Everything was fine. Um, until her hips finally gave out. It was downhill from there. Um, so we definitely had to go through, like, the grieving process of losing a dog. And then, like,  just a while of learning to, like, live without a dog.

Um,  But I've always kind of had a dog in my life. Sure. I've always had a companion to go on adventures with, go on a hike, go play frisbee, golf, whatever. And  Um, the conversation just bumped and bumped and bumped to the point where it's like, okay, yeah, like the holidays are coming up, like, let's start looking for some, like,  a dog that we bond with and we can bring into our family.

Yeah. Yeah. And you mentioned, uh, go on adventures with, uh, so what, what's something that you all do together, the four of you, or what, where's the favorite place you'd go?  Um, really like going up into the mountains. Um, Georgia's definitely got to be on a leash. She just kind of wanders. Joey, er, Chewy always finds his way back.

But, um, lots of hikes. I'm going out to the lake and going fishing. Both of them just lose their minds when I reel in a fish.  Um, neither of them are super keen with water. So, going from, uh Um, my previous dog who loved the water and would just swim all day, um, to two dogs that don't like water. It's been a little bit of a adjustment period.

That is adjustment. Um, yeah, it's been honestly wonderful. I've been enjoying all of it.  Chewy, he has his ritual when I come home. Georgia has her ritual when I come home. Where he's got to pick up a slipper and present it to you. Oh, that's awesome. That's adorable, by the way. Yeah.  George is just trying to jump up on ya, just snarling, like Frenchies do.

Yeah, so, which brings me to a question of, uh, have you done any formal training or is it just mom and dad doing it right now? Take me through any of that.  Um, haven't really done any formal training. Yeah. Um,  the only formal training I've really been involved in was, uh, my brother's GSP.  I'm spending lots and lots of monies getting it trained for birds.

Oh, okay. Sure. And then lo and behold, like I get Chewy from the pound. Yeah. And the next thing I know, like, he's sitting there pointing at the bird. Wow. And I'm like, I didn't even have to spend money on this. Had the instinct. They're both super gun shy, so I can't even take them hunting. Okay. But, I mean, great dogs.

Yeah. They're not hunting dogs, but I wasn't really going for a hunting dog. Okay. And it, it, it worked out wonderfully. So, just, just you and mom just doing training on Yeah. Okay.  Um, Chewy's honestly takes training very well. Um, even off leash. Yeah. I, I can just let him loose, call him, he comes right back.

Recall's good. That's, that's amazing. It's, it's wonderful. Yeah.  Georgia, the only thing that motivates her is food.  It's either popcorn or cheese. Popcorn. She loves popcorn. Have you brought, brought her to Grossembourg for the popcorn? I, I have. Okay, good. And, I, um, she doesn't always do so well in the social functions.

Oh, that's right. You mentioned that. Okay. Last time she was here, uh, she got ahold of Jeff pretty good. Oh, boy. Where, I,  She was owl y and she just kind of does the Frenchie at the other dogs. I didn't think anything of it because I kind of limited experience with her in social function. Um, so I just had her kind of curled up on my lap.

Yeah. Keeping track of her so she's not, I mean. Trying to chase the other dogs. I don't have to really pay attention to her that much because she's right here. Yeah. And, like, Jeff started roughhousing with her. Oh. She latched onto Jeff. So, okay. So, the dog's good, but Jeff's just being a pain in the butt.

Yeah, it's just Jeff's.  We're okay. We can blame it. He's not on the podcast right now. We'll get him on sometime, but that, that, that's That, that's funny.  Yeah. She does really well. Like, well, anybody who knocks on the door, she's working at night. She is the master of her own domain that the postman comes by and she's got to tell him he's trespassing.

Yeah. Um,  Great dog. Like, she curls up in my lap every night when I go to sleep. She's the perfect little cuddle buddy. Yeah. Um, not the best dog to bring out to a bar. Okay. So we found our local nook where we can go get coffee in the mornings together. She gets her little pup cup. Yeah, and now every time we go through a drive thru, she thinks she's getting a pub cup. 

But yeah, it's been great. Where I got this guy, I mean, I can go out with and do everything. Yeah. We can take both the dogs on a nice long car ride. We just got back from Rollinsville, Utah. Oh. On the other side of the canyon from Moab. Sure, yeah. And we did, uh,  Four or five hundred miles. Holy cow!

Backcountry. With both of them? With both dogs. And they were, they're good in the car? I, for the most part. Um, when I get into like the super technical wheelings, like throwing lockers in. Sure. Gearing down. Yeah. It gets pretty bumpy, so Stephanie will get the dogs out. Okay. And walk alongside the Jeep with them.

Sure. Because she can do a better pace than I can. Wow. They do, they do wonderful. They, I just got the backseat set up as a little dog bed. They roll down, go to sleep. Um, we did the Rim Rocker as well. I don't know what that is. Um, it goes from Montrose to Moab. Okay. And it's like two full days, um, mixed between dirt roads and trails.

Okay. You don't see any asphalt until you hit Moab. Wow. And it's a wonderful little, like, backcountry trail. And do you see other, uh, like, vehicles, people like yourself out there? I actively try to go in the off season. Okay. So I, I will either, like, suffer the heat or, like, withstand the cold. Because I, I try not to have neighbors as much as I can. 

You know, that's why we have dogs, right? Because, you know, people suck. And, and, you know, I, I, I interview people because obviously I'm an extrovert and I like to talk to it. But like, our dogs are our companions. You know, adventures like that are amazing. So I didn't know, you know, there's other people you meet, all the trails are in the same concept of what you're doing, that kind of thing. 

Um, they, they love four wheeling. They love chasing all the lizards out in Moab  too. He's all about squirrels everywhere he goes. Um, they do great wheeling.  They're, they're wonderful companions. That, that's fantastic. And in the sense of, um, their personalities, um, how, how have you seen them as they're growing up as there's been evolution or are they, you know, with a little bit of their training or, or, or are they, are they getting hyper?

What's. What's that like right now? What's that, how's that dynamic? Um, Chewy was super sweet, but also like extra, extra timid when we got him. Um, as we've had him, he's kind of found his legs and found his voice, and had a great time kind of growing with us. Um, he's still the sort of dog where he's got his little nook under the coffee table.

set up too fast and hit his head on the bottom of the table.  And he thinks he's in trouble because he made noise. I'm like, no, you're good, buddy. Like, let's go have fun. Um, Georgia is a bull and a child in a shop. And she has been since the day we got her, um,  definitely working with her on her training.

Where they motivate her with food, even though we're trying to teach her not to beg, but get her to sit rather than just whine and whimper at the dinner table.  Picking them both up from the pound, we were always picking up on somebody else's training.  Neither of them were socialized much, neither of them were trained much.

Um, so we're trying to do what we can. And it's been a great learning experience. Especially, I've never had like a small dog, let alone like a Frenchie. Yeah. Where she will literally look at you. Understand what you are saying.  I'm not interested in what you're wanting me to do. I'm going to go to your socks.

That's so funny. So, oh, do they have any things? Are they tearing stuff up?  Georgia tears toys up left and right.  The second you leave a sock anywhere  where she can get at, she'll tip over the whole hamper to try to get at a sock. That's funny.  We've learned to deal with it.  I am running desperately low on socks in my dresser, but it is what it is. 

They teach us stuff, right? Like, if there's something on the ground, and it's a sock, well, you start putting your socks away, right? Yep.  You start burying your socks in the hampers so that she can't see them on top, nip it over, and get to them. Cause they smell it. I mean, that's their thing. And she definitely keeps up.

Georgia keeps up on us because the second, like, the floor gets dirty, I mean, she finds everything with her mouth. So she'll just be, like, chewing on something random. I'm like, what are you chewing on? How did you get into that? And it's just like, no, that's not food. She just, she's got to chew on everything.

Wow, that, yeah. You know, my, my dogs were chewing early on in their, in their lifetime, but not so much anymore. But, you know, it's a weird concept that we You know, like you said, you know, you didn't have a dog and then you have a dog. It just teaches you stuff. Oh, yeah. About what you do. Yeah.  It makes you reflect on your own behaviors. 

It makes you reflect on kind of like your impact on others. I,  um,  Chewy is very, um,  I wouldn't say anxious, um,  but Stephanie and I will, I I'll go to, I start roughhousing with her or tickling her. Yeah. I, while she's trying to cook dinner just to annoy her for the sake of annoying her and  Chewy is right there.

Like, no, stop that.  the warden. Yeah.  He just, he'll sit there and growl and bark at you like you've never heard him growl and bark at you before. Yeah. And you're just like, yeah, like, we're good, buddy. You go to pet him and he's back to happy. He's just like, no, I want attention. That's funny. You don't, you don't get to have attention with your significant other.

I want the attention. Yeah, do they sleep in bed with you? Um, fairly often. Yeah. Um, my significant other is allergic, so Okay. She's got her, like,  dog free clean bed when, like, she wants it. Okay. Or she don't want to take her, uh, allergy medication. Sure. Um,  Georgia is wonderful. Sure. Climb up in bed with me when I lay down.

I'll watch my YouTube for an hour or so. Then I'll finally fall asleep and by the time I start snoring she's just like, I don't want to deal with this and she'll go downstairs. So I can toss and turn all night and it's like I fell asleep with the dog so I'm still sleeping good. Chewy's more of a bag of concrete.

Where once he climbs up into the bed and goes to sleep, he, uh, he's there. And if you try, like, moving him, he'll just growl at you. And he's like, yeah, yeah, I don't care. Move. Move. I need to stretch my legs out. Um, but yeah, both of them kind of take turns coming up and sleeping with me in bed. I, I got no problem with dogs sleeping with you in your bed.

Some people are weird about that. For sure. And I'm just like, no, like some of the best sleep you'll ever have in your night is like tucked between like two warm dogs. That. And you're just full cuddles. No, no doubt about that. Uh, you know, and I don't know if you, you mentioned it, so I'm going to reiterate it, but you know, I can always cut it out. 

Um, the names, uh, chewy in Georgia? Yes. Uh, were, did, were they, did they come with the names or did you add 'em? What's the story behind those? Yeah, so we kind of kept the names they came with from the pound. Okay. Okay. They got it. They give their names, they responded better to 'em. Sure. Um, chewy has evolved into Chewy Cuckoo, Miho.

Oh, 'cause you got a nickname. Yeah. Well, where's that come from? Now we're okay, now we're diving into some stuff. Um. S uh, my Stephanie Yeah. Is very into by talking with the dogs. Yeah. Like little high pitch baby voice. Yeah. Um, and I'm just like, okay. So I, he, he does his little wiggle. He picks up a slipper or a sandal, anything he can Yeah.

And brings it to you. Right. When he come home, he's like, oh, chewy cuckoo, miho  . And you, you hang out with him. I, while he is, he is doing his little wiggle party. And then I, Georgia, um. She's got her snarl, and she has had this whole evolution since we got her. Um,  she was the Goblin Pig for a while, then she was Piggy Wibbekins,  now she's Piggy Marie Presley.

What? Um, she's been, I, back and forth to where I guarantee she doesn't know what her name is now. Piggy, wait, go back, Piggy Marie Presley? Yeah, Piggy Marie Presley. That is,  that's awesome.  And, I, she got no idea, I,  I've been calling her Piggy Wiggle Kittens the third. Where's that come from? It just came to me.

Okay. Um,  but yeah, I, she just responded like.  It's so much the tone of your voice when you're talking with her, where you just, like, you hit that next octave, and you're just like, Biggie Booie Bessie! And she just doesn't, she has no tail, so just the whole body's wiggling. She just curls, like, right up at your legs, and you can just love on her.

Oh, gosh. Forever and ever. I can see in your face, like, your love for your dogs, and that's So amazing. Um, you know, the point of this to talk is just to talk about dogs and up, up, uplifting. There's nothing about it. Um, you clearly have this again, this glow about it. Um,  well, we ask our, uh, we call them howlers when you're on the podcast, you become a howler.

So congratulations. Um, so, um, you have two dogs. Um, we're going to get a picture of you and. Chewy. Yeah. And then Georgia will, uh, I'll get your email and stuff like that, maybe get a little, but, so we're going to start with Chewy, um, we always ask our howlers,  what  if, if  Chewy could say words in, you know, human language, what  would they be?

I try and get five out of people and I give an example, my dog, Hazel. Her, her big thing is, Dad! Dad! Dad! She would just say, Dad. All the time, or, or, throw the ball! Throw the ball! Because she's just like that. Okay, we're gonna start with Chewy. What would Chewy say to you or Stephanie? Um  Squirrel. would be, would be the first one my buddy brew would do.

Yeah, for sure. I probably set 'em off already. You got any more? Got any? Um,  really loves cheese. Really loves walks. Um,  it's a unique question. It's, I gotta, yeah, because I, we talk to our dogs, right? Oh yeah. I, you were even saying about like your dog's names and.  That evolution of it is that you're talking to your dog, what would they say back?

It was like, Dad, get away. Dad, get away. Mom, get away. You know, stuff like that. Yeah. And Georgia's just the one to ignore you and do whatever she wants. Oh. Chewy's the one where, like, if he wants something, he'll start getting out. Yeah. And I've never really had much experience with a dog that talks to you.

And he'll just come up and just be like, Rrrr! And you're just like, what? And he's like, Rrrr! And we're like,  Oh, it's like five o'clock, it's time for dinner. He's like, Rrrr! And we're like, He's like, I told you so. See, that's what I'm telling you, like, they're Message received. Yeah. Here's some dinner, buddy.

Heh, heh. Talk to me more! So  One's more of like the, I don't want to say mute, but like, one's the extrovert, one's the introvert. One is definitely like more vocal, but to himself.  He talks to himself. No, like he'll talk to you when he needs something. Okay. But when you're sitting on the couch, he's on the other side of the couch, he's curled up.

Yeah. He's comfortable with you a couple feet away, he doesn't have to be on top of you. Nice.  Georgia has to be on top of you 24 seven. Wow. She will whimper at the door while you're going to the bathroom  but She will not say a word. Yeah,  unless something's outside that she doesn't like Okay, and it's this duality where we have one dog of one type and one dog of another.

Yeah, that's interesting. It is, right. It's been wonderful. Yeah  Well, thanks for sitting down with me. This is again. There there's so much love in our Relationships with our dogs and you know, clearly what you're talking about and all that stuff. It's It's neat to talk to people like you that have, you know, even the spontaneous aspect of you went from one dog to two dogs and they have just different demeanors. 

So great. Yeah, completely different mindset, completely different behaviors, and it's been a roller coaster, but it's been a wonderful roller coaster. I wouldn't trade it for the world.  That's what we're going to end it on. Thank you so much for sitting down and talking with us. I'm going to give you a hat and some treats for sitting down with us.

They're brought to you by Big Speed. It's one of, it's a local dog food company and they have treats and stuff like that. So, thanks for sitting down with me so much. Oh yeah, thank you for having me. Heck yeah, man.  And that's a wrap. Thank you, Evan. That was a wonderful conversation we had with ya, and, uh, glad you could, uh, spend some time with us.

And this week's review is comin at ya, called Eco Kind Treats and Chews. So I got these Gold Yak Chews for large dogs. Um, it's a one pound to five pound bags. You can get them on, uh,  ecokinepettreats. com. And they're bars that, uh, you give your dog for chewing. Uh, they, they have a rectangular look, so they don't really look like dogs, uh, dog, dog bones.

My dog just barked in the background. But, uh, I, I like them. They're, uh, free from any chemical preservatives, additives, and dyes.  They're a hundred percent authentic yak chews from the Himalayas and Free from gluten and lactose hundred percent money back guarantee is what they offer on their website  I'm just reading this stuff off their website, but  it's great I'm a little leery for my dogs my healer.

She likes they both love them and I always You know give them hard treats when when I'm around but I soak them I got that tip from a friend of mine a while back Because they can be a little bit hard in my opinion on on their on their jaws and in their in their teeth So that's that's what I've I've learned but you can There's, I mean, they got oodles of stuff, bully sticks, yak chews, antlers, um, and my dogs have always loved the antlers as well, but, uh, this is what I've had, and, uh, again, 100 percent all natural,  you know, take that piece with it, give it a try, uh, put the link in the show notes, but eco, Pet treats, uh, 3.

75. Uh, again, I think they're just for my dogs and, and I just, just a leery about how, how hard they are. But, uh, you know, maybe I got a batch that was older, but I've tried them a couple of times. Again, I just like to soak them. So take it as you will. And just a review from last week. We were going to get Janine on here.
