00:00Hi Jordan. Hi Dodo. Are you excited for your dream date? I'm a little nervous. I'm kind of scared. Hopefully she likes me. Hello. Hi. Oh my goodness gracious. So Juniper's been single for about two months. She has been returned twice. She transferred into Wallace Annenberg Pets Base from South LA shelter. I definitely want to be able to help find her a safe and lovable home.
00:29So today's date. Obviously I'm an athlete and I want to be able to get her into what it's like to be in my life. Well first Juniper is deaf and I used to work with kids when I was younger in high school and I love being able to you know learn ASL and all that stuff so I'm really excited to see how this goes today. I've never had to deal with a dog who understands ASL.
00:59Ah. Okay. Okay. Come on. Oh. Yeah. I've never trained a dog through agility before.
01:24But I think I did pretty good. This is fun. So what are your initial first impressions of Juniper just from that?
01:35I think it's really cool that she has the talent and the gift just like an athlete so.
01:39For the last portion of your date you're actually going to do this timed.
01:43Oh Jesus. How are you feeling? I think we're good. She's ready. She's perked. We got this. You're going to do so great. And you are that girl. And I definitely wrote a book that I think you should read. I think it would be very, very solid. So you ready? We got this in 30 seconds.
02:01Starting.
02:02Oh. Come back. Baby come back. Baby come back. Baby come back.
02:16Baby come back. Baby come back. Baby come back. Baby come back. Baby come back. Baby come back. Baby come back. Baby come back. Baby come back. Baby come back. Baby come back. Baby come back. Baby come back. Baby come back. Baby come back. Baby come back. Baby come back. Baby come back. Baby come back. Baby come back. Baby come back. Baby come back. Baby come back. Baby come back. Baby come back. Baby come back. Baby come back. Baby come back. Baby come back. Baby come back. Baby come back. Baby come back. Baby come back. Baby come back. Baby come back. Baby come back.

02:46A 10 is what, yeah, you deserved a 10.
02:50I've gotten so many 10s in my career too.
02:53Yep, yep, you know, you know.
02:56How's skill? What do you think about skill?
02:57Skill-wise, I give you a 10.
03:00I cannot give her a 10.
03:01She's cute, I give her a 10.
03:03Everything about her, she's a 10.
03:05You are a 10.
03:08Like, look at that.
03:09Do you like trophies or do you like ribbons?
03:11As a gymnast, I like trophies.
03:13So pick your poison.
03:16Which one?
03:19Oh, the trophy it is!
03:21Yeah!
03:24You heard Juniper's story,
03:25and I have a memoir that is out now
03:28called I'm That Girl.
03:30And if you want to know more about my story,
03:33go get the book.
03:33I think Juniper is that girl,
03:35and she continues to be that girl.
03:36And that's on period.
03:38I have a celebratory snack
03:39for your amazing, gracious agility test,
03:44and you did it so well.
03:45Oh, she thinks she likes it!
03:48We are trying to get her to the best home as possible.
03:50Any family that is loving, caring, is patient,
03:54especially with other dogs.
03:55If your dogs are patient
03:56and has the ability to understand that,
04:00she is the most sweetest thing.
04:02She was the best date,
04:03and I wouldn't have changed anything about my date,
04:06especially knowing that she is so special.
04:09Would you go on a second date with her?
04:10I would definitely go on a second date with her.
