Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah, it's joy.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
It's on the cutting room floor.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
What we got there today, Governor, haven't we.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
All enjoyed seeing the return of Vivian. Vivian was a
little miniature dash hound who went missing on Kangaroo Island.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Yep, yep for like eighteen months.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Eighteen months yea.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Their owners took it along to Kangaroo Island for a.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
Holiday camping weekend.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
And it's not the sort of dog you take into
the wild. You see those dudes the driver around and.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Ford raptors, and they've got pig dogs on the back
of their forward raptors in those metal boxes, and they're
slavering away at the cage, not.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
The driver of the cardle. So sometimes you can't tell
them apart.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
And then they let the pig dog and they got
pig and shit and pigs. No, you don't take a
little duck sound along.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
For what they did.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
They went camping. They took their little dog along because
he's a member of the family and he was within
a little cage. Darien had his toys, or they went fishing.
They came back. He wasn't there missing for eighteen months,
and they saw footage of him on various cameras, various
security cameras, I guess surveillance cameras around the island, so
they knew he was still alive. They finally captured him
(01:17):
and brought him home. Lots of great vision of the reunions,
and he looks like he's very, very happy to be home.
Because I was wondering if he'd come home and like
a Stephen King novel, like Cujo, he'd have gone Ferulan's
more of their faces off.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah, because Cujo was a Saint Bernard, and you wouldn't
have expected him to be savage.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Saint Bernard's largely or a rescue.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Dog, especially when they're bring you the Brandy.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
When they bring the little bowel of Brandy.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Remember pet Cemetery. That book scared the hell out of me.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Was there a Saint Bernard in that as well?
Speaker 4 (01:50):
No, it was just it was yeah and the little kid, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Spoiled kid. Well, if you haven't seen a movie from
nineteen ninety seven.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
We can't help you with that. But that was terrifying.
But onto other things.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
I like the idea of it.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Lad Vivian's alive and well.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
A dash hand because they're the cutest little dog. They
look like they always look like they're wearing a waistcoat.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Oh, they doing their little velvety arms.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Little faces.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
It's so sweet.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
They're plagued with veterinary problems, though, aren't they.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Well are they?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Yeah? But yeah, because they're not meant to be that
like that, yes.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Well maybe not the miniatures, but they were bred. Every
dog has a purpose. Every dog originally had a job.
We didn't breed them just to be fun. Even the
dogs like a like a a king Charles Cavalier had
a job.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
The lap dogs, that was their job.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
That's why they are bred with flat noses and big eyes,
because they can sit on your lap and look up
into your face. Like my dog is a border Collie.
We all know what those jobs are, chasing around sheep.
But any of those dogs with slightly longer noses, if
you talk to them and say, do you want to
go for a walk, whatever, they'll move their head from
side to side because they can't see around this. They
can't see enough of your facial expressions around their long snouts.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
So every dog has a job. So I'm not sure
what Valeries is so cute.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
I had a dog once. It was just a ninety
kilo poor.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Machine, and its job was to be a person I did.
Let's talk about cats, though I'm not a cat person.
You've had a number of cats time, and you've spoken
to me about how sometimes your cat was being fed
down the road.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Yeah, Rufus, our cat that we had. And I don't
want pets. I don't want cats, I don't want dogs.
I just don't have any time for them. And it's
not fair. It doesn't mean I don't like them. I
like cats and I like dogs, but I just don't
have the wherewithal to feed them, to do all the
junk that goes with them.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
I'm very disconnected from them. You need a dog in
your life. I don't. But having said that, I don't
hate dogs or cats. What happened. We inherited two cats.
My wife and my kids inherited them too. Families are
like that as well.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
I want to be like Reacher, just going from town
to town, punching people out and rooting women.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
That's all I want to be.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
But someone was feeding your cat.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Yeah, yeah, so with a French chap and he loved Rufus,
and Rufus was a very you met Rufus.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
He was a very wise cat.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
But He was a very smart cat as well, very
well read, very good at like munching into minor birds,
like never munched into a native bird, by the way.
But I remember one time watching him on my back
fence and there was these minor birds swooping him because
he just killed one minor bird. And the minor bird
what the remains of it were at the back fence,
(04:32):
and the other birds the rest of the bird found.
We were clearly upset about this was swooping Rufus, and
Rufus is sort of lying on the on the top
of the fence, well fed, well fed. And then about
twenty thirty minutes later I walked past and there's a
dead miner bird again, and Rufus carried you birds don't
come here for the hunting.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Yeah, so he was.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
And then there were two.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Well, the reason I bring this up, if someone is
systematically feeding your cat, you can if you live in Switzerland,
you can have them arrested. Really, this woman in Zurich,
an elderly woman is facing court accused of systematically feeding
her neighbour's cat. The cat's name is Leo, and because
she made it so easy for Leo to go in
there and be fed all the time. Leo didn't want
(05:14):
to return to his own home and the owners are
suing this woman, so she repeatedly fed Leo, who lives
in the same building, over a ten month period. Despite
her neighbor's requests for her to stop feeding Leo, she didn't.
She continued to defy their wishes. She installed a cat
flap on her door so Leo could come and go
as he pleased. The constant feeding and ease of entry
(05:34):
meant that Leo ended up abandoning his rightful owner and
instead favoring the old woman. She's facing charges of systematic feeding,
which is a criminal offense in Switzerland.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Says here.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
While it sounds lighthearted, cases like this are increasingly landing
in court, with many pet owners reporting feeders who were
interfering with their cats. Because it's easy to buy a
cat's affection. Dogs not so much. You know, with a
cat can buy them off. They just go to the
nearest cat.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I don't care where are the foods coming? That's right,
You do not want to interfere with your neighbors.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Pussy, because has this whole journey as lead to this.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
At the next neighborhood watch meeting, it's going to be aud.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Right just where you're going for the minor birds. No, no,
let's let's pretend this is never.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
What have you done up on the cutting room floor?
See I do something and then you do it worse.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
You didn't need to do anything.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
You could have just gone, what an interesting story and
left it at that.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
What an interesting story. Let's leave it at that. Thank you,
roll the outro okay fires. That's it for today. Come
back tomorrowle More Jonesy
