more on my headphone, Jim.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Just a little because we share the same mix, and
you'll deafen me.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
It's because you've got baby baby ears. That's why I
got little baby ears. Well, welcome to the show, everybody.
We've not been around for a couple of weeks. Like
I said at the top of the show, we were
back home in England, the United Kingdom, Great Britain, and
I'm not even even explain why I'm saying all of
those three because it can be quite complicated for people
(02:57):
who are not from the reader in the region. Anyway,
we were back visiting family, lots of activity, we've got
jet lag, we are exhausted because our feet never touched
the ground, and it's one of the best trips that
we've ever taken. The hardest part about the trip is
actually leaving our dogs, although we have the most amazing
(03:17):
pet sitter, but it's never easy. And then it's never
easy coming back the other way, because you know, I'm
sad to leave my family, but they're excited to see
my dog. So yeah, it can be a bit of
a head trip, to say the least.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
So let's tive you a little. Well, you know what.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Let's let's give you some links actually where you can

Speaker 2 (04:04):
So here's our update. We went the length and breadth
of the country.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
It felt that way anyway. So it started off with
going to Beverly.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Beverly's a great town, a beautiful town. What's the history again, Jim.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
It was the seat of power in the North before
York became the major city of the North.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
So there's Beverly, beautiful, a beautiful minister and that's where
my niece graduated from university with a degree.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
In equine science.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Equine science.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
So now we've got a professional in the family that
I can consult with anything to do with horses very exciting.
So from there we loved it. In Beverly it was gorgeous.
So from there we went to Halifax and if you
are a fan of Gentlemen Jack on HBO, it's all
set in Halifax. She's a true historical character and it's
(04:58):
a brilliant show. A brilliant show, but Halifax is known
for his textile mills and just a great time. We
were at the big Main Square and they've turned all
those what were the little textiles, you know, businesses. They're
all now individual coffee shops, wine bars, gift shops, you
name it. And in the middle of the square and
it's massive, there was a sofa and a film crew.
(05:19):
So we went over and said, hey, what are you
doing and they said, oh, we're BBC and we're filming,
you know, interviewing people who watch BBC programming and what
they like about it. So we ended up being interviewed
and they were quite interested that, especially with Gym being
an American big fan of EastEnders and loves Phil Mitchell. They
thought that was quite funny. So we were on points
(05:40):
of view as the show on that Sunday. So that's
how that turned out. Then we had a wedding and
it was our niece's wedding, the one that just graduated.
And that off we went to Derbyshire for a couple
of days in a beautiful Peak Edge hotel, a pet
friendly hotel by the way, and that was great. Oh
my gosh, the whole family together and my mom was
over from Spain. It was a brilliant two days, wasn't it.
(06:03):
Jim dance like maniacs, just celebrated. Oh, it was just
just brilliant that. Then the day we checked out, we
decided we would go to our other sister's place, and
she's got a beach house and they said Anderby Creek,
very close to skeg Nest, which they call skeg Vegas
because it's got some Neon signs and it's a popular
holiday place, you know, for families. And that's where we
(06:27):
went for a couple of days, and I I was
very excited to go down. The last time I was there,
she'd bought the land, she'd put a caravan on it
and we stayed in the caravan and had not seen
her new smart home that she built on there. And
Jim had never been knew he would love it got
down there, peace and choir the beach picking up shells
and fossils.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Just amazing.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
The wildlife, the monk jack, deer from China come up
on their back garden, pheasants, cuckoos, woodpeckers.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Oh what else? Did the badgers? Foxes? What else?
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Jim, woodpeckers.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I just said that.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
So much wildlife, pheasants, Yeah, beautiful, absolutely beautiful. We had
the best fish and chips. And then Jim visited the
RAF base at Conningsby.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
We got to see real fighter operations and then we
went to the museum there at the base, which is
the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, where the RAF maintains
a squadron of World War two war birds for air shows.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Yeah, I mean that's history and they're still flying. They're
still flying.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
The mechanics are there. Oh. I mean that was an
education in itself, wasn't it.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Jim was amazing.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
And after that we came back to Sheffield and decided
the very next day let's go to Liverpool like you do.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Now.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
My friend Ben and Jasmine they live here in Vegas.
He's from Liverpool, she's from Hawaii.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
They I knew they were.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
They were in England at the time, and he's from
I say, from Liverpool and Ben and his dad were
producing a variety show at the Empire Theater not far
from the cavern, the famous Cavin Club, and I sent
him a quick message and says, I know it's last minute,
but we're actually on our way to Liverpool if you've
got time to get together, which we did. But first
(08:16):
what we did is we parked up, went down the pier,
went to the Titanic Museum exhibit free to go fabulous,
I mean really fabulous. Then down the pier there's lots
of art installations. There's lots of statues of famous musicians
and singers and bands, and of course you come across
the famous Beatles statue.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Massive. Then we walked our way up.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
We went to the Gavin Club where they became famous,
and many many other musicians and singers and bands became
famous as well. It's a very musical city. Not some
money has been pumped into it, and oh it was.
What was that a great day? Jim?
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Then we met up with Ben and Jasmine and we
went to Greg's. Gregg's is no and.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
He's the best bakery ever and try vegan sausage rolls.
And it was just a really nice time, wasn't it
very good? It was raining most of the time. I
was hoping it was raining.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
I got sick and tired of the sun when you
live here.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
And a lot of nice coffee shops.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Oh yeah, the Fab four cafe we did. I did
love the coffee shops. Then we got back. Then what
did we do?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Did we do Chatsworth after that? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Did we do that? Or did we do.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
We did Chatsmith?
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Yeah, we did Chatsworth House, which I've spoken about before
on the show. My favorite stately home and an incredible
history going back to the eighteen no. Sixteen eighty seven,
sixteen eighty seven.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Yes, that's right. It's very old with.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
The dukes with all the frilly collars.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Yes, but where it's where Mary, Queen of Scotts was
whole captive. It's not really captive that you would think of,
because she had all of the courtiers and she had
all of her staff with.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Her, but she didn't pay her rent.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
She didn't pay a rent, she didn't pay for her
staff and she wasn't but she didn't pay rent.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
So they didn't let her leave because she wasn't paid up. Yeah,
that was what he explained.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Anything can you imagine being kept there.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
I mean it's like, oh, it's so odd as the
chats of the house. Great thing is it's it was
decorative for Christmas. So the house theme was Amelia a
Heart and Phileas Fogg and they just closed this exhibit,
their dog art exhibit, you know, with art of the
dog within the house around the ground, but some of
(10:30):
the statues and pieces our installations were still up, so
I was really happy to see that, and of course
very happy to see lots of people there with their dogs,
which is what you see everywhere you go in England.
People have their dogs with them.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
They just do. They're in pubs, they're you.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Know, shopping with you, they're at chats with house, they're
at the Christmas market. And it's lovely that the people
get to take their dogs to a lot of places
and and that way they get used to a lot
of different scenarios and it's not a big deal for them,
you know, they're just like, oh yeah, we're going on
the train. Oh yeah, we're going down the pub. And
it's lovely to see that, really really lovely. We also
(11:07):
saw a group of people. They have a Facebook group
for their old English sheep dogs, and they were having
a photo up on a on a what was it
a hay ride thing.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
Yeah, they had big working Shire horses, yeah, trailer, and
they had these sheep dogs that you can ride the
hay ride with the sheep dogs.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
So I took a couple of photos and I'll be posting,
I'll be posting everything, you know, animal related on my
social media pages because oh it was great.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
It was such a great trip.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
But then it did start to rain a fair bit
and we ended up going to Meadal Hall, which is
the big, big shopping mall.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Behind it is the river Down.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Now two thousand and seven, the bank's burst and it
was bad and they had to put flood defenses in.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Well, we got there.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
We didn't know about any warnings. I don't think there
were any at that time in all Hones state. And
there were six of us, six family members, and we
did a bunch of shopping and we'd bought Christmas pajamas
and had.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Had a coffee and I'm just having a great time.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
And then family members were messaging that it was pretty
bad outside. They say that the river down might break
its back. It's banks again, which is right next to
them all. So one sister decided to leave, and an
hour later she texted back and said, still haven't left
the car park.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
I'm still here.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Can't get out, can't get out the line, it's gridlocked.
So well, if we can get out, come back in
because no one's going anywhere that we've been told we
might have to stay overnight. And four hours later she
was still stuck in a car, but by the time
she got to the exit, the police turned her around
and said, go back to Meatal Hall. It's dangerous. Luckily
we were there. It's easier if your strand as a
(12:41):
bunch of family members. Anyway, we'd already hold ourselves up
in a coffee shop, Coffeka on the second floor, and
they had two floors as well, so we were safe,
and we'd bought chargers and cables for our phones, food, coffee, tea,
and then for a laugh, we decided we put on
those Christmas jams to take a photo and just make
the most of it and take some videos, which other
(13:03):
people did as well. And my twin sister, who wasn't
with us, but she took the photo and she posted
it on Twitter and she put a couple of hashtags
Sheffield floods and mead a Hall. Well, next morning she's
waking me up, she said, God, CNN wants to talk
to you about being stranded and mead a Hall in
those pajamas. They want to know what you did to
prepare to stay for the night, which we didn't stay.
(13:25):
I have to stay for the night, fortunately, but.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
We were there eleven hours. Anyway, it went viral.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
It went really viral to the point where the very
next day, which we decided we're just going to stay
home for the day, all I did was interviews all day,
interviews by phone, interviews by FaceTime, interviews by email. I
did an interview from my nephew's bedroom with Sky News,
so that was national and international, all around the world
I did. We had a film crew from the BBC
(13:53):
come to the house. It was just comical, you know
what I mean, how we'd kind of made the most
of it, and you know we're in all the newspapers,
The Sun, Daily Mail, Daily Express, The Times, Yahoo UK Online.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Of course all those social media outlets.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Manchester Times I think they call it The Star, which
is our local newspaper.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
It was hilarious.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
Yeah, but as much fun as you guys made out
of it was a very serious event.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
I mean the flooding. And they're still having trouble.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Oh yeah, no, they it's still right now.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
People actually lost their lives.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Yeah, it's still it's still raining, you know. And that's
something that I mentioned in the interviews. I said, you know,
we knew it, we knew it was serious, but we
weren't panicing and freaking out. You know, we had a
plan together. It's easier when you're with your family, and
if you're by yourself, that would be hard. Or a
lot of young kids that come down because there's going
to be a big concert to turn on the Christmas
lights and they've not driven next they're young, and then
(14:50):
they couldn't get back, they can't leave, and so it's
a different experience for them than it was for us.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Most buses and train service.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
No trams, nothing, I mean zero. And you know, but
here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
He's a good thing.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Them all has everything you need, doesn't it gym and
we did have a lot of those pajamas. But I mean,
I can't imagine if you were someone that has to
take medication and you're not at home, you know, those
kind of things, so you have to you know, as
I say, it was, it was different for us than
it was for them, but we did have a plan.
But we are the type of family that will make
the most of it and that's exactly what we did.
(15:22):
So and then following Chatsworth, we stayed at our niece's
new house and near Manchester Report, which is great, and
that was the end of the trip. So as you
can imagine, we are very very tired, very tired, but
very very happy at what a great trip we had,
and of course very happy when we got to pick
our dogs up and they were tired because they had
(15:43):
played with other dogs that were staying at our pet
sitters for two weeks straight. I mean, they got a
lot of socialization and fun, didn't they Jim.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
So it was still they are. They've been very.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
Slow for a couple of days, but it's been great.
So that's where we've been anyway. So let's get onto
some let's get to tell you what. Let's get onto
some some good news. I don't know if he's seen
this as a puppy. There's got an extra tail on
its head. And this puppy was named Narwhal, which Jim
informed me as a will that's got the big tusky
thing out of its head, and it was picked up
(16:14):
by Max Mission, which is.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
A rescue in Missouri.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Now, the vet said, there's no medical need to remove
it on this little ten week called little bandoned puppy,
And of course that has become viral as well, like
we were, and it's a rescue that predominantly takes in
animals with special needs, so he fell into that category
for sure. There's no need to remove it. And his
(16:39):
tail is about a third of his size of his
normal tail, right in the middle of the forehead.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
It's not an extension of his tail, it's just.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
An extra an extra little tail. Yeah, and a cute
little one as well. Anyway, as you can imagine, I'm
sure there are tens of thousands of people putting in
applications for this particular dog, and of course the popularity
of the dog's vhote so on Facebook does help raise
awareness about that small rescue, and they were.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Very very happy about that.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
But they said, a happy little dark place for hours,
no pain whatsoever. They're going to hang on to him
for a little while because he needs to grow a
little bit and make sure that he's in really really
good shape. But I would not like the job of
going through those applications at all. But that tail has
definitely made him into a very very cool little puppy.
But isn't that cute? But they're saving one hundreds and
(17:26):
hundred of dogs in the Missouri which is Poppy Mill,
one of the Poppy Mill capitals, And I'm not surprised
by any of those things. But doing a great job
there and great that they got this viral moment for
their small rescue. Now this will make you laugh, Jim,
Oh my gosh, this is hilarious. Parrot trapped on roof
(17:48):
tells the fire crew to f off when they try
to rescue her.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Where is that he's in London?
Speaker 4 (17:55):
I think the role of firefighters is very important, and
these guys risk their own lives to save people and
of course animals, and they did that in a da
daily basis. They're the ones running into a fire while
other other people are running away from a fire, and
not everyone is grateful for being rescued. And that was
this maccore parrot called Jesse. She was trapped on a
(18:15):
London roof for three days. And some people scared she
was injured, you know, and thought, oh, she's never going
to get down and that's why, that's why she needed
to come down. But she wasn't very happy with the
rescue team, not happy at all, so they said. The
London Fire Brigade was called amid concerns for Jesse and
now and her welfare after the owners called the RSPCA,
which is the Royal Society Provincial Cruelty to Animals in
(18:38):
case you didn't know that, and they couldn't get it down.
They tried so in an effort to bond with the parrot,
the fire crew manager coaxed her with the words I
love you and as the animal experts had instructed them
and London Fire Brigade watched. Manager Chris Swallow, who was
at the scene, explained that the crew manager was the
(18:58):
volunteer willing to go up the lad and try and
bring you know, cute little Jesse down anyway. But while
Jesse responded, while Jesse responded, I love you back, we
then discovered that she had a bit of a foul
mouth and kept swearing, much to her amusement. He added
that the bird also spoke dowkish and Greek, so they
tried to tell her to come down in those languages too.
(19:20):
She just to get ignoring them, basically, And yet she
soon flew off to another room for them to a tree,
and everyone saw she was finally uninjured, and she wasn't
that grumpy as she seemed after all, and she was
perfectly well when they finally reunited her with her owner.
But Swallow explained that as with this incident, the RSPCIA
should be contacted in the first instance, and he encouraged
all people to do the same for any.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Animals in distress.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
However, if the RSPCIA can't do it, then of course
they call for assistance. But after Jesse returned home her
own accord, her owner sent the firefighters video to thank
them for their help. But yes, she told them to
f off.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
That is great.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
Here's another good story. It starts off not so good,
but it finishes well. Last for seven days and missing
tortoise has been reunited with their family in Roseville. She
apparently traveled more than five miles away from her home,
but it's where she ended up that's truly remarkable. Her
name was Sweetie and her owner Sarah Sarah Cougarsol I
(20:25):
think so pronounce it. She just didn't going to see
her again, and some lady took her in, and of course.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
That's sharing her information.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
And when she you know, clocked it with her I
think she'd had her over twenty years and said, that's sweetie.
And the woman gave her the address to come and
pick her up at and the address happened to be
Sarah's previous home.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Really, so the tourists knew where to go.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Yeah, is that amazing? That is amazing. Now here's another
good good story.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Age fourteen, a young woman from pennsylvani was forced to
part ways with their beloved puppy, Chloe, who held a
special place in her heart. She had always wondered what
had happened to the pup, that is, until an unbelievable
twist off it occurred on social media many years later.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
And do you know what that was, Jim.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
They needed to find a home for a dog.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
She adopted a dog, and that happened to be her
little puppy from all those years ago. Really, can you
believe it was probably microchiped something like that. I didn't
say the thing, but can you imagine that? Would I
know that was my mic what a gift, you know,
what a gift. And oh, because here's the thing, she
(21:39):
probably never would have got over the fact that who
knows what the circumstances were, but she probably never would
have gotten over the fact that she had to give
up her dog, but then to actually get her dog back.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Oh, amazing story. Amazing.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Well, I thought we could talk about oceans since we
were by the ocean and just say we were Anderby
Creek and beautiful, beautiful beach. But I didn't see any
trash whatsoever on that beach, did you.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
And it's the thing, but it.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Was very it was nice because it was undeveloped.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Yeah, it was lovely.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
I mean, it's well used the beach all year round,
but it's undeveloped, which is great. But they have a
program where you come and help clean up, and you know,
they have bags and stuff for you to use, and
then your reward is tea, biscuits and cake.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Happy all about that, Jim. I thought that was great.
I thought that was really good.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
But if I had more of those programs and also
very social, aren't they. It's a very sociable thing to do,
to be with other people. You're helping the environment. You
feel good and you get your tea and cake at
the end of it. It's very British, isn't it. Well,
it was like that after on my our niece's graduation
in the Minster. It was tea, coffee and homemade cakes.
(22:59):
It was very, very lovely, wasn't it.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Jem slices?
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Did you? I didn't know that. Here's some good news
talking about the oceans. So get this eighteen year old
Fion Fierira from Ireland just one fifty thousand dollars. It's
a Google Science Award for his work in removing microplastics
from the ocean. The teenager on his first prize at
the Google Science for twenty nineteen amongst one hundred other competitors,
(23:27):
and Fion's new method for extracting microplastics as in microbeads
involves the use of ferro fluids and magnets, and his
innovative approach manages to remove over eighty seven percent of
microplastics from test samples. It's phenomenal.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
I have to look that sounds interesting.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
Yeah, Currently, very little is done to prevent plastic microbeads
and their interference with nature. On a global scale. They
are commonly used in cosmetics end up in wastewater, are
easily mistaken for food by animals because in part of
the food chain. And I know that, I know this. This,
this is the pretty much all the sea life has
plastic in their bodies.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
It's not right, is it?
Speaker 4 (24:10):
And if the eighteen year old can use the fifty
thousand dollars to to show this method can scale, it
could allow countries to deal with microplastics globally at an
industrial level. See young kids, they see things from a
different direction sometimes, don't.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
They, Jim.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
But that's that is brilliant. That is absolutely brilliant. Now
here's another thing, And this is probably I think, is
this my last one. I've got just got a couple
more stories. It's kind of a short show, I think today,
don't you think it might be?
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Yeah? Yeah, we probably take a break soon.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Well, actually, let's do a quick break now before I
continue on with the rest of the news.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
So you're listening to Vegas Rock Dog Radio. We've got
more good news coming up in just a moment.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Vegas Rock Dog Radio. People from pop culture.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
D I N O v I t E dot com.
When we put him on the Dinovite, he took great
to it, all of these symptoms disappeared.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
Dynamite is anutrician.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Do you want the dog to help you?
Speaker 3 (25:15):
You gotta be the country helpy, something that he actually
likes to eat. Do you need to put him on
dinavites dynabyte for life. If you love your dog, you
don't just want to healthy, You want them to be happy.
You won't be how happy your dog will be.
Speaker 5 (25:29):
D I N O b I T dot com.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Let's talk past it, Let's talk pet life radio, Headline Radio,
pet Live Radio dot com.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Vegas wrote dog Radio, Pets people, pop culture, welcome back.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Actually, before well you listen to Vegas rocked up Radio,
I mean he's mentioned that.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
But before we.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
Continue on with our news, I just want to make
mention of our little friend and Gracie. She if you've
watched me on TV, she's kind of my little sidekick
and I bring her on on the show shows with me.
And she had to have surgery yesterday. She had to
have one of her front legs amputated. Anyway, she was
already moving around on her three legs yesterday. Yeah, after surgery.
(26:19):
I couldn't believe it. So that is in itself good news.
But you can imagine, bills are huge when it comes
to medical care, not just you know, surgeries, but the
aftercare as well, the medications. It's a lot anyway, So
I've decided what I what i'd actually done. So unfortunately,
(26:41):
Grace's mom lost one of her well, she lost two
of her pets. She lost France, Yeah, she lost Franci
i Ken, then she lost Odin. And I'd designed for
her a notebook with Odie's image on the front so
love is blind because he had no eyes, and just
give it as a gift. But we decided, you know,
(27:02):
after talking about the expense of the expense of you know,
all this medical care, that I would release it on Amazon,
this notebook, and ten dollars from every single book will
actually go to her aftercare. So I'm going to link
that up for you because it's going to be a
little bit our long road. You know, she's got rehab
(27:22):
and all that stuff, and it's not cheap. I think
one of the tests was three grand, no joke, a test.
Oh so so I just wanted to make mention of that,
and that's a way that we can help raise money
for her. I'm also releasing this well actually this coming
week my Winter series of notebooks with a cute little
(27:43):
robin red breast that I drew and painted and it's
going to be on five different notebooks, but all with
this winter theme with the same little red robin red
breast that needs a name because I don't have a
name for the bird that's going to be coming out.
One of them is going to be a gratitude journal.
You know what I'm grateful for today is one of them.
(28:03):
There'll be a notebook, there'll be a doc grid journal,
you know that kind of thing. And I'm also releasing
a black and white notebook called Catituded and it's again
a design of one of my sister's cat feisty two socks.
It's a really cool black and white drawing that I
(28:24):
did and it says cat Tude on the front. And
that's going to be a journal and that's going to
be released next week as well, and then the Christmas
and probably the Honk Ones will be coming up shortly.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
We're catching up.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
We're catching up since are but we're catching up. But
I wanted to make mention of that. I also want
to make mention of my little friend Julip, who passed
away this week. And I also want to make mention
of our little friend Daisy who they found a tumor
on her heart. And it's just I've got some friends
going some through very very difficult times right now with
their pets, and it's simply heartbreaking and it's not fair.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
It's just not fair. That's how I feel.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
And also to mention Bella, our friend Bella who passed
away as well this week. I mean, it's been, it's
been a very difficult time for lots and lots of
our friends. So we're sending all of our love to them.
But if you can definitely participate in the front raise
of a Gracie should be great.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
So grateful, so grateful, and yeah, it's been, it's been,
you know, some some difficult times there for our friends
and their pets.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
I found this article, Jim. It's fairly new actually actually
it's this month, and it was a longitudinal, long longitudinal
evidence of the impact of dog ownership and dog walking
on mental health. We talk a lot about mental health,
don't we.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
We walk the dogs all the time.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Interested why is my microphone squeaking?
Speaker 1 (29:53):
It should be grabbing it when you're.
Speaker 5 (29:55):
Talking, Abo, Then I know, mister Twigs is out of control.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
He's out of control, licking one foot.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
I hope we can't hear that. It's the one sound
people don't like when they're in bed at night. You know,
you just settle down to go to sleep, and it
starts that looking, oh, what is going on? Well, this
study and we've talked about well we've talked about decompression
(30:25):
walks and they're mainly.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
For dogs, but really for you as well.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
Well you think about decompression walk, but this is great research.
The abstract, the background is emerging evidence supports the physical
health and social benefits of dog ownership. This study examines
the longitudinal effect of dog ownership and dog walking on
mental health and the methods they use. So data from
a cohort of twenty three participants taking part in the
(30:50):
Residential Environments Project in Perth, Western Australia were collected over
a two year period. That's baseline and follow up health reports.
Survey items measured mental health, stress and depression, and dog
ownership status and weekly minutes of dog walking. And logistic
regression models accounted for a potential confounding factors including socio
(31:15):
no yeah, socio demographic, self rated health and baseline mental health.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Here are the results.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
Overall, statistically significant effects were observed over time between dog
ownership and stress or depression. There was a small inverse
but non significant association between weekly minutes of dog walking
and stress over time. Conclusion, they said that there's little
evidence of prospective associations between dog ownership or dog walking
(31:45):
and mental health, but they said that needs to be
further research is required to conform longitudinal relationships between dog
ownership and dog walking mental health and investigate dog related
factors such as a person's attachment to their dog.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Here's the thing, though, they can't say there's a relationship
between the two.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
But if you walk by yourself or you walked with
your dog, that does help you. Exercise helps your mental health.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
But they're just saying it doesn't matter whether you deal
with or yeah the dog.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
Yeah, but for me, I'm happy, even happier if I
got my dog with me, you know. So, But they
said there needs to be more research, and I think
most people listen to this are going to.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Go, no, there's definitely some really good benefits.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
But yeah, I thought that would be way more significant,
you know, than what it actually was. But it wasn't
interesting very interesting.
Speaker 5 (32:36):
When you have a dog, you have sometimes no choice.
You have to go for walks, and if you don't
have a dog, you don't go for walks. So it's
better to go for walks and not have that and
then have the motivation because you have to take your
dog because ours demand walks.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
They do. Yeah, there's a demand one.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
As soon as we're done with the show today, probably.
Speaker 4 (32:54):
You've just said that word three times and their ears
are up. Now don't bees they start bugging you in
a minute. Psychic pets? Do you have a psychic pet
link between you and your pets? I always say the
psychic because in your mind you can say let's go
over a walk.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Yeah, but in your mind.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
Just say it and then they start looking at you like, yeah,
let's go. So anyway, this is what's interesting. Why is
it that you can often feel that someone is staring
at you? How the pigeons home, you know? And the
homing pigeons. This is just some of the simple questions
posed by doctor Rupert Sheldrake. Witness firsthand the dramatic answers
and easy, inexpensive experiments you can perform for yourself. The
(33:39):
results could very could very well change how you view
the world. And it's based on a book called Seven
Experiments that Could Change the World. I Do it Yourself
Guide to Revolutionary Science. It was released in nineteen ninety
six by Walls Spring Media and Rupert Sheldrake. Doctor Rupert
Sheldrake produced and directed this documentary.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
I'm gonna link.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
It all out so you can actually watch it and
thinks about about an hour long. But there's one thing
that they show you and that's, you know, homing pigeons. Okay,
so they have homing pigeons from a hot and hot
that's on wheels, and then they move the hot and
guess what, they came back to the hot, even though
it was in a completely different place.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
They've never been to.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Pole won't get back to their home. They went back
to their.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Hut the hot was moved, and they somehow knew what was.
Speaker 5 (34:26):
I heard that they have the ability to read the
magnetic waves.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Of the earth.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Oh really, that's what I heard. Could be a little
bit like that.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
Maybe that tortoise was psychic as well, that made its
way back to its old home.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Yeah, it's interesting, isn't it. Animals.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
I'm telling you that the quite complex little creatures aren't they.
I mean, think about is it the bee that knows
how to you know, mathematically, knows how to do a
perfect hexagon octagon octagon hexagon?
Speaker 2 (34:59):
No is it?
Speaker 4 (35:03):
But they they're perfectly formed mathematically amazing, absolutely amazing. What
was that documentary watched at my sister's house with the
birds that were mating out their mating call and the
things that they do.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
The top birds that have strange rituals and dances and yeah,
they build monuments, have moves.
Speaker 4 (35:26):
Yeah, they will build these monuments to attract the female bird.
Then there with these crazy dancers.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
It was brilliant.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
I have to say that documentary was so interesting and funny,
really funny.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
If I can find it, I will definitely share it
with you. But it was very good, wasn't it.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Jim.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
I'm having issues with my mic today.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Going on, driving me crazy.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
So what we got coming up? Let's think about what
we've got coming up?
Speaker 4 (35:56):
We've got I'm involved once again with Murray saw Chuck
Sel which a magician might have seen him on America's
Got Talent and once again working with Murray to raise
money for animal rescue through his show that's going to
be on December the twentieth at the Tropicana Hotel inside
the Laugh Factory Theater. So that's coming up tomorrow night.
(36:17):
We're going to see Piff the Magic Dragon. I met
Piff a couple of weeks ago, and you will have
seen him on America's Got Talent. There you go, and
he's known for his comedy. He's a dragon and his
little sidekick is mister Piffles, and he is a psychic.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
Chihuahua. He's a psychick chiaa.
Speaker 4 (36:41):
So I'll be seeing his show where both of us
will tomorrow night. What else have we got coming up
as far as fundraising? Oh, actually, there's gonna be a
big pet supply fundraiser at Barks Parks coming up soon
in Vegas. Yes, and that's going to help a lot
of rescues out. And I feel like there's one more
(37:05):
thing that I'm involved in and it's not coming to mind.
Can't think what it is, no idea. It'll come maybe
on the next show. And talking of Christmas, I've already
got my Christmas tree up, I know, but here's the thing.
If your Christmas tree makes you happy, put it up.
(37:26):
Put it up early. I've been watching all.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
The Hallmark Christmas films. It's been great. I've got my
Christmas pajamas on right now.
Speaker 4 (37:35):
Yeah, I love them, and I know the plots are
always the same, but they always feel good, and there's
nothing wrong with feeling good whatsoever. So Yeah, lots happening,
and I'm looking at things that I can involve my
dogs in. The the Ethelm's Chocolate Factory. I know for
a fact we can take our dogs there to tour
around the cactus gardens that they decorate in a fabulous
(37:58):
way for Christmas. There is and I can't take my
dogs in this one, but there's a train ride and
a ninety minute train ride, and it's the Pajama train ride,
which I'm an expert now wearing pajamas in public. So
it's hot chocolate and biscuits, cookies, and it's a ninety
minute ride and the story time, which I think is lovely.
(38:19):
There's also the Electric Light Parade that's going to be
happening in Boulder City. One thing I will say about parades,
particularly the ones in summer, don't take your dogs to
parades are really boiling hot. Don't take your dogs to parade,
and they don't like people. They don't like the loud
sounds of you know, cars going by and floats going by,
(38:39):
and you know, generally, if they don't enjoy it, don't
put them through that.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
It's not fair. It's really not fair.
Speaker 4 (38:45):
Same with the night parade. It's gonna be really goold.
So if you are going to take your dog's gotta
wrap them up. And again, if they don't like that
kind of scene, then let them stay at home.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
I've been to far too many raids.
Speaker 4 (39:00):
It's made me sick to my stomach to see dogs
terrified and the people just keep them there. It's horrible.
It's awful that it does ruin ruin the event, doesn't it. Gym,
We've left before We've got to call the police before
there's drunk people at nine in the morning that I
had a big was it a chain on that dog's.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
Neck around the light pole?
Speaker 4 (39:21):
Yeah, and they changed all that part and left the
dog around crowds and oh gosh.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
They went to get their beer.
Speaker 4 (39:28):
So we got the police involved in that. I mean,
animal welfare, Come on, people, Come on. I still will
never understand. But for example, if I wasn't that into dogs,
would I get a dog? If I was not that
into parrots.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
Would I get a parrot?
Speaker 4 (39:46):
So I don't understand how people get them in the
first place. If they're not that into them, you can
tell they're not by their actions. How does that even
enter your head?
Speaker 2 (39:55):
If you're not really.
Speaker 4 (39:56):
Into dogs, why do you have one? There is a
there isn't it's a right conundrum? Isn't it a right conundrum?
Speaker 2 (40:04):
Anyway? Jim, that looks like we got to the end
of our show. Unless you've got something else you want
to say.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
No, I'm still I wake up at two am.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
Yeah, like I do, jet go.
Speaker 1 (40:14):
Back to sleep.
Speaker 5 (40:15):
So I think right now, when we finish the show,
I'm going to suit up these dogs and we're going
to go out.
Speaker 4 (40:21):
Oh you know what we are going to do this afternoon.
We're going to run over to Public Works coffee shop
in Henderson and we are going to plan a notebook
shopping day. Now, all the notebooks that I design are
all animal themed, so we will make sure we post
that on our social media because it would love to
see everyone come and grab a coffee and do a
(40:42):
little shopping. I mean, heck, you've got to buy presents
for people, and if you've got animal lovers in your
family and in your circle of friends. Those my notebooks.
I'm going to say it, and I'm going to say it.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
They're cool, aren't they called.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
Jim very cool?
Speaker 4 (40:57):
Yeah, creative, Yeah, I think they make for really nice gifts.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
But on that note, I'm gonna say goodbye. Mister Twigs.
Probably won't. He's still locking his foot.
Speaker 4 (41:09):
That noise noise enough to make you crazy. Do you
know what, if you get a chance today, run over
to my Instagram account. Help me name that little red
Robin redbreast on my winter series of notebooks.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
She needs a name. I know she's a girl, but
she needs a name.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
Anyway, It's been great to be back and back on track,
and we'll be back on track next week like we
normally are. And I hope you've enjoyed today's show. We've
got some really good, feeling, feel good stories about animals

Speaker 2 (02:14):

Speaker 1 (02:15):
What were you going to say with that smirky tone.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
You fill in the blank? What's the last one?
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Producer in archivist?
Speaker 4 (02:23):
No, you're not archives archive the show martivist archivist. Welcome
to the show. Everybody can I have a little bit
more on my headphone, Jim.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Just a little because we share the same mix, and
you'll deafen me.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
It's because you've got baby baby ears. That's why I
got little baby ears. Well, welcome to the show, everybody.
We've not been around for a couple of weeks. Like
I said at the top of the show, we were
back home in England, the United Kingdom, Great Britain, and
I'm not even even explain why I'm saying all of
those three because it can be quite complicated for people
(02:57):
who are not from the reader in the region. Anyway,
we were back visiting family, lots of activity, we've got
jet lag, we are exhausted because our feet never touched
the ground, and it's one of the best trips that
we've ever taken. The hardest part about the trip is
actually leaving our dogs, although we have the most amazing
(03:17):
pet sitter, but it's never easy. And then it's never
easy coming back the other way, because you know, I'm
sad to leave my family, but they're excited to see
my dog. So yeah, it can be a bit of
a head trip, to say the least.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
So let's tive you a little. Well, you know what.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Let's let's give you some links actually where you can

Rock Dog Radio and you'll find us.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
So here's our update. We went the length and breadth
of the country.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
It felt that way anyway. So it started off with
going to Beverly.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Beverly's a great town, a beautiful town. What's the history again, Jim.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
It was the seat of power in the North before
York became the major city of the North.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
So there's Beverly, beautiful, a beautiful minister and that's where
my niece graduated from university with a degree.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
In equine science.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Equine science.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
So now we've got a professional in the family that
I can consult with anything to do with horses very exciting.
So from there we loved it. In Beverly it was gorgeous.
So from there we went to Halifax and if you
are a fan of Gentlemen Jack on HBO, it's all
set in Halifax. She's a true historical character and it's
(04:58):
a brilliant show. A brilliant show, but Halifax is known
for his textile mills and just a great time. We
were at the big Main Square and they've turned all
those what were the little textiles, you know, businesses. They're
all now individual coffee shops, wine bars, gift shops, you
name it. And in the middle of the square and
it's massive, there was a sofa and a film crew.
(05:19):
So we went over and said, hey, what are you
doing and they said, oh, we're BBC and we're filming,
you know, interviewing people who watch BBC programming and what
they like about it. So we ended up being interviewed
and they were quite interested that, especially with Gym being
an American big fan of EastEnders and loves Phil Mitchell. They
thought that was quite funny. So we were on points
(05:40):
of view as the show on that Sunday. So that's
how that turned out. Then we had a wedding and
it was our niece's wedding, the one that just graduated.
And that off we went to Derbyshire for a couple
of days in a beautiful Peak Edge hotel, a pet
friendly hotel by the way, and that was great. Oh
my gosh, the whole family together and my mom was
over from Spain. It was a brilliant two days, wasn't it.
(06:03):
Jim dance like maniacs, just celebrated. Oh, it was just
just brilliant that. Then the day we checked out, we
decided we would go to our other sister's place, and
she's got a beach house and they said Anderby Creek,
very close to skeg Nest, which they call skeg Vegas
because it's got some Neon signs and it's a popular
holiday place, you know, for families. And that's where we
(06:27):
went for a couple of days, and I I was
very excited to go down. The last time I was there,
she'd bought the land, she'd put a caravan on it
and we stayed in the caravan and had not seen
her new smart home that she built on there. And
Jim had never been knew he would love it got
down there, peace and choir the beach picking up shells
and fossils.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Just amazing.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
The wildlife, the monk jack, deer from China come up
on their back garden, pheasants, cuckoos, woodpeckers.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Oh what else? Did the badgers? Foxes? What else?
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Jim, woodpeckers.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I just said that.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
So much wildlife, pheasants, Yeah, beautiful, absolutely beautiful. We had
the best fish and chips. And then Jim visited the
RAF base at Conningsby.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
We got to see real fighter operations and then we
went to the museum there at the base, which is
the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, where the RAF maintains
a squadron of World War two war birds for air shows.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Yeah, I mean that's history and they're still flying. They're
still flying.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
The mechanics are there. Oh. I mean that was an
education in itself, wasn't it.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Jim was amazing.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
And after that we came back to Sheffield and decided
the very next day let's go to Liverpool like you do.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Now.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
My friend Ben and Jasmine they live here in Vegas.
He's from Liverpool, she's from Hawaii.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
They I knew they were.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
They were in England at the time, and he's from
I say, from Liverpool and Ben and his dad were
producing a variety show at the Empire Theater not far
from the cavern, the famous Cavin Club, and I sent
him a quick message and says, I know it's last minute,
but we're actually on our way to Liverpool if you've
got time to get together, which we did. But first
(08:16):
what we did is we parked up, went down the pier,
went to the Titanic Museum exhibit free to go fabulous,
I mean really fabulous. Then down the pier there's lots
of art installations. There's lots of statues of famous musicians
and singers and bands, and of course you come across
the famous Beatles statue.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Massive. Then we walked our way up.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
We went to the Gavin Club where they became famous,
and many many other musicians and singers and bands became
famous as well. It's a very musical city. Not some
money has been pumped into it, and oh it was.
What was that a great day? Jim?
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Then we met up with Ben and Jasmine and we
went to Greg's. Gregg's is no and.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
He's the best bakery ever and try vegan sausage rolls.
And it was just a really nice time, wasn't it
very good? It was raining most of the time. I
was hoping it was raining.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
I got sick and tired of the sun when you
live here.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
And a lot of nice coffee shops.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Oh yeah, the Fab four cafe we did. I did
love the coffee shops. Then we got back. Then what
did we do?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Did we do Chatsworth after that? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Did we do that? Or did we do.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
We did Chatsmith?
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Yeah, we did Chatsworth House, which I've spoken about before
on the show. My favorite stately home and an incredible
history going back to the eighteen no. Sixteen eighty seven,
sixteen eighty seven.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Yes, that's right. It's very old with.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
The dukes with all the frilly collars.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Yes, but where it's where Mary, Queen of Scotts was
whole captive. It's not really captive that you would think of,
because she had all of the courtiers and she had
all of her staff with.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Her, but she didn't pay her rent.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
She didn't pay a rent, she didn't pay for her
staff and she wasn't but she didn't pay rent.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
So they didn't let her leave because she wasn't paid up. Yeah,
that was what he explained.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Anything can you imagine being kept there.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
I mean it's like, oh, it's so odd as the
chats of the house. Great thing is it's it was
decorative for Christmas. So the house theme was Amelia a
Heart and Phileas Fogg and they just closed this exhibit,
their dog art exhibit, you know, with art of the
dog within the house around the ground, but some of
(10:30):
the statues and pieces our installations were still up, so
I was really happy to see that, and of course
very happy to see lots of people there with their dogs,
which is what you see everywhere you go in England.
People have their dogs with them.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
They just do. They're in pubs, they're you.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Know, shopping with you, they're at chats with house, they're
at the Christmas market. And it's lovely that the people
get to take their dogs to a lot of places
and and that way they get used to a lot
of different scenarios and it's not a big deal for them,
you know, they're just like, oh yeah, we're going on
the train. Oh yeah, we're going down the pub. And
it's lovely to see that, really really lovely. We also
(11:07):
saw a group of people. They have a Facebook group
for their old English sheep dogs, and they were having
a photo up on a on a what was it
a hay ride thing.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
Yeah, they had big working Shire horses, yeah, trailer, and
they had these sheep dogs that you can ride the
hay ride with the sheep dogs.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
So I took a couple of photos and I'll be posting,
I'll be posting everything, you know, animal related on my
social media pages because oh it was great.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
It was such a great trip.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
But then it did start to rain a fair bit
and we ended up going to Meadal Hall, which is
the big, big shopping mall.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Behind it is the river Down.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Now two thousand and seven, the bank's burst and it
was bad and they had to put flood defenses in.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Well, we got there.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
We didn't know about any warnings. I don't think there
were any at that time in all Hones state. And
there were six of us, six family members, and we
did a bunch of shopping and we'd bought Christmas pajamas
and had.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Had a coffee and I'm just having a great time.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
And then family members were messaging that it was pretty
bad outside. They say that the river down might break
its back. It's banks again, which is right next to
them all. So one sister decided to leave, and an
hour later she texted back and said, still haven't left
the car park.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
I'm still here.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Can't get out, can't get out the line, it's gridlocked.
So well, if we can get out, come back in
because no one's going anywhere that we've been told we
might have to stay overnight. And four hours later she
was still stuck in a car, but by the time
she got to the exit, the police turned her around
and said, go back to Meatal Hall. It's dangerous. Luckily
we were there. It's easier if your strand as a
(12:41):
bunch of family members. Anyway, we'd already hold ourselves up
in a coffee shop, Coffeka on the second floor, and
they had two floors as well, so we were safe,
and we'd bought chargers and cables for our phones, food, coffee, tea,
and then for a laugh, we decided we put on
those Christmas jams to take a photo and just make
the most of it and take some videos, which other
(13:03):
people did as well. And my twin sister, who wasn't
with us, but she took the photo and she posted
it on Twitter and she put a couple of hashtags
Sheffield floods and mead a Hall. Well, next morning she's
waking me up, she said, God, CNN wants to talk
to you about being stranded and mead a Hall in
those pajamas. They want to know what you did to
prepare to stay for the night, which we didn't stay.
(13:25):
I have to stay for the night, fortunately, but.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
We were there eleven hours. Anyway, it went viral.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
It went really viral to the point where the very
next day, which we decided we're just going to stay
home for the day, all I did was interviews all day,
interviews by phone, interviews by FaceTime, interviews by email. I
did an interview from my nephew's bedroom with Sky News,
so that was national and international, all around the world
I did. We had a film crew from the BBC
(13:53):
come to the house. It was just comical, you know
what I mean, how we'd kind of made the most
of it, and you know we're in all the newspapers,
The Sun, Daily Mail, Daily Express, The Times, Yahoo UK Online.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Of course all those social media outlets.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Manchester Times I think they call it The Star, which
is our local newspaper.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
It was hilarious.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
Yeah, but as much fun as you guys made out
of it was a very serious event.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
I mean the flooding. And they're still having trouble.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Oh yeah, no, they it's still right now.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
People actually lost their lives.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Yeah, it's still it's still raining, you know. And that's
something that I mentioned in the interviews. I said, you know,
we knew it, we knew it was serious, but we
weren't panicing and freaking out. You know, we had a
plan together. It's easier when you're with your family, and
if you're by yourself, that would be hard. Or a
lot of young kids that come down because there's going
to be a big concert to turn on the Christmas
lights and they've not driven next they're young, and then
(14:50):
they couldn't get back, they can't leave, and so it's
a different experience for them than it was for us.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Most buses and train service.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
No trams, nothing, I mean zero. And you know, but
here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
He's a good thing.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Them all has everything you need, doesn't it gym and
we did have a lot of those pajamas. But I mean,
I can't imagine if you were someone that has to
take medication and you're not at home, you know, those
kind of things, so you have to you know, as
I say, it was, it was different for us than
it was for them, but we did have a plan.
But we are the type of family that will make
the most of it and that's exactly what we did.
(15:22):
So and then following Chatsworth, we stayed at our niece's
new house and near Manchester Report, which is great, and
that was the end of the trip. So as you
can imagine, we are very very tired, very tired, but
very very happy at what a great trip we had,
and of course very happy when we got to pick
our dogs up and they were tired because they had
(15:43):
played with other dogs that were staying at our pet
sitters for two weeks straight. I mean, they got a
lot of socialization and fun, didn't they Jim.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
So it was still they are. They've been very.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
Slow for a couple of days, but it's been great.
So that's where we've been anyway. So let's get onto
some let's get to tell you what. Let's get onto
some some good news. I don't know if he's seen
this as a puppy. There's got an extra tail on
its head. And this puppy was named Narwhal, which Jim
informed me as a will that's got the big tusky
thing out of its head, and it was picked up
(16:14):
by Max Mission, which is.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
A rescue in Missouri.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Now, the vet said, there's no medical need to remove
it on this little ten week called little bandoned puppy,
And of course that has become viral as well, like
we were, and it's a rescue that predominantly takes in
animals with special needs, so he fell into that category
for sure. There's no need to remove it. And his
(16:39):
tail is about a third of his size of his
normal tail, right in the middle of the forehead.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
It's not an extension of his tail, it's just.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
An extra an extra little tail. Yeah, and a cute
little one as well. Anyway, as you can imagine, I'm
sure there are tens of thousands of people putting in
applications for this particular dog, and of course the popularity
of the dog's vhote so on Facebook does help raise
awareness about that small rescue, and they were.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Very very happy about that.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
But they said, a happy little dark place for hours,
no pain whatsoever. They're going to hang on to him
for a little while because he needs to grow a
little bit and make sure that he's in really really
good shape. But I would not like the job of
going through those applications at all. But that tail has
definitely made him into a very very cool little puppy.
But isn't that cute? But they're saving one hundreds and
(17:26):
hundred of dogs in the Missouri which is Poppy Mill,
one of the Poppy Mill capitals, And I'm not surprised
by any of those things. But doing a great job
there and great that they got this viral moment for
their small rescue. Now this will make you laugh, Jim,
Oh my gosh, this is hilarious. Parrot trapped on roof
(17:48):
tells the fire crew to f off when they try
to rescue her.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Where is that he's in London?
Speaker 4 (17:55):
I think the role of firefighters is very important, and
these guys risk their own lives to save people and
of course animals, and they did that in a da
daily basis. They're the ones running into a fire while
other other people are running away from a fire, and
not everyone is grateful for being rescued. And that was
this maccore parrot called Jesse. She was trapped on a
(18:15):
London roof for three days. And some people scared she
was injured, you know, and thought, oh, she's never going
to get down and that's why, that's why she needed
to come down. But she wasn't very happy with the
rescue team, not happy at all, so they said. The
London Fire Brigade was called amid concerns for Jesse and
now and her welfare after the owners called the RSPCA,
which is the Royal Society Provincial Cruelty to Animals in
(18:38):
case you didn't know that, and they couldn't get it down.
They tried so in an effort to bond with the parrot,
the fire crew manager coaxed her with the words I
love you and as the animal experts had instructed them
and London Fire Brigade watched. Manager Chris Swallow, who was
at the scene, explained that the crew manager was the
(18:58):
volunteer willing to go up the lad and try and
bring you know, cute little Jesse down anyway. But while
Jesse responded, while Jesse responded, I love you back, we
then discovered that she had a bit of a foul
mouth and kept swearing, much to her amusement. He added
that the bird also spoke dowkish and Greek, so they
tried to tell her to come down in those languages too.
(19:20):
She just to get ignoring them, basically, And yet she
soon flew off to another room for them to a tree,
and everyone saw she was finally uninjured, and she wasn't
that grumpy as she seemed after all, and she was
perfectly well when they finally reunited her with her owner.
But Swallow explained that as with this incident, the RSPCIA
should be contacted in the first instance, and he encouraged
all people to do the same for any.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Animals in distress.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
However, if the RSPCIA can't do it, then of course
they call for assistance. But after Jesse returned home her
own accord, her owner sent the firefighters video to thank
them for their help. But yes, she told them to
f off.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
That is great.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
Here's another good story. It starts off not so good,
but it finishes well. Last for seven days and missing
tortoise has been reunited with their family in Roseville. She
apparently traveled more than five miles away from her home,
but it's where she ended up that's truly remarkable. Her
name was Sweetie and her owner Sarah Sarah Cougarsol I
(20:25):
think so pronounce it. She just didn't going to see
her again, and some lady took her in, and of course.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
That's sharing her information.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
And when she you know, clocked it with her I
think she'd had her over twenty years and said, that's sweetie.
And the woman gave her the address to come and
pick her up at and the address happened to be
Sarah's previous home.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Really, so the tourists knew where to go.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Yeah, is that amazing? That is amazing. Now here's another
good good story.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Age fourteen, a young woman from pennsylvani was forced to
part ways with their beloved puppy, Chloe, who held a
special place in her heart. She had always wondered what
had happened to the pup, that is, until an unbelievable
twist off it occurred on social media many years later.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
And do you know what that was, Jim.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
They needed to find a home for a dog.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
She adopted a dog, and that happened to be her
little puppy from all those years ago. Really, can you
believe it was probably microchiped something like that. I didn't
say the thing, but can you imagine that? Would I
know that was my mic what a gift, you know,
what a gift. And oh, because here's the thing, she
(21:39):
probably never would have got over the fact that who
knows what the circumstances were, but she probably never would
have gotten over the fact that she had to give
up her dog, but then to actually get her dog back.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Oh, amazing story. Amazing.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Well, I thought we could talk about oceans since we
were by the ocean and just say we were Anderby
Creek and beautiful, beautiful beach. But I didn't see any
trash whatsoever on that beach, did you.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
And it's the thing, but it.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Was very it was nice because it was undeveloped.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Yeah, it was lovely.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
I mean, it's well used the beach all year round,
but it's undeveloped, which is great. But they have a
program where you come and help clean up, and you know,
they have bags and stuff for you to use, and
then your reward is tea, biscuits and cake.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Happy all about that, Jim. I thought that was great.
I thought that was really good.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
But if I had more of those programs and also
very social, aren't they. It's a very sociable thing to do,
to be with other people. You're helping the environment. You
feel good and you get your tea and cake at
the end of it. It's very British, isn't it. Well,
it was like that after on my our niece's graduation
in the Minster. It was tea, coffee and homemade cakes.
(22:59):
It was very, very lovely, wasn't it.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Jem slices?
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Did you? I didn't know that. Here's some good news
talking about the oceans. So get this eighteen year old
Fion Fierira from Ireland just one fifty thousand dollars. It's
a Google Science Award for his work in removing microplastics
from the ocean. The teenager on his first prize at
the Google Science for twenty nineteen amongst one hundred other competitors,
(23:27):
and Fion's new method for extracting microplastics as in microbeads
involves the use of ferro fluids and magnets, and his
innovative approach manages to remove over eighty seven percent of
microplastics from test samples. It's phenomenal.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
I have to look that sounds interesting.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
Yeah, Currently, very little is done to prevent plastic microbeads
and their interference with nature. On a global scale. They
are commonly used in cosmetics end up in wastewater, are
easily mistaken for food by animals because in part of
the food chain. And I know that, I know this. This,
this is the pretty much all the sea life has
plastic in their bodies.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
It's not right, is it?
Speaker 4 (24:10):
And if the eighteen year old can use the fifty
thousand dollars to to show this method can scale, it
could allow countries to deal with microplastics globally at an
industrial level. See young kids, they see things from a
different direction sometimes, don't.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
They, Jim.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
But that's that is brilliant. That is absolutely brilliant. Now
here's another thing, And this is probably I think, is
this my last one. I've got just got a couple
more stories. It's kind of a short show, I think today,
don't you think it might be?
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Yeah? Yeah, we probably take a break soon.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Well, actually, let's do a quick break now before I
continue on with the rest of the news.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
So you're listening to Vegas Rock Dog Radio. We've got
more good news coming up in just a moment.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Vegas Rock Dog Radio. People from pop culture.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
D I N O v I t E dot com.
When we put him on the Dinovite, he took great
to it, all of these symptoms disappeared.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
Dynamite is anutrician.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Do you want the dog to help you?
Speaker 3 (25:15):
You gotta be the country helpy, something that he actually
likes to eat. Do you need to put him on
dinavites dynabyte for life. If you love your dog, you
don't just want to healthy, You want them to be happy.
You won't be how happy your dog will be.
Speaker 5 (25:29):
D I N O b I T dot com.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Let's talk past it, Let's talk pet life radio, Headline Radio,
pet Live Radio dot com.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Vegas wrote dog Radio, Pets people, pop culture, welcome back.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Actually, before well you listen to Vegas rocked up Radio,
I mean he's mentioned that.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
But before we.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
Continue on with our news, I just want to make
mention of our little friend and Gracie. She if you've
watched me on TV, she's kind of my little sidekick
and I bring her on on the show shows with me.
And she had to have surgery yesterday. She had to
have one of her front legs amputated. Anyway, she was
already moving around on her three legs yesterday. Yeah, after surgery.
(26:19):
I couldn't believe it. So that is in itself good news.
But you can imagine, bills are huge when it comes
to medical care, not just you know, surgeries, but the
aftercare as well, the medications. It's a lot anyway, So
I've decided what I what i'd actually done. So unfortunately,
(26:41):
Grace's mom lost one of her well, she lost two
of her pets. She lost France, Yeah, she lost Franci
i Ken, then she lost Odin. And I'd designed for
her a notebook with Odie's image on the front so
love is blind because he had no eyes, and just
give it as a gift. But we decided, you know,
(27:02):
after talking about the expense of the expense of you know,
all this medical care, that I would release it on Amazon,
this notebook, and ten dollars from every single book will
actually go to her aftercare. So I'm going to link
that up for you because it's going to be a
little bit our long road. You know, she's got rehab
(27:22):
and all that stuff, and it's not cheap. I think
one of the tests was three grand, no joke, a test.
Oh so so I just wanted to make mention of that,
and that's a way that we can help raise money
for her. I'm also releasing this well actually this coming
week my Winter series of notebooks with a cute little
(27:43):
robin red breast that I drew and painted and it's
going to be on five different notebooks, but all with
this winter theme with the same little red robin red
breast that needs a name because I don't have a
name for the bird that's going to be coming out.
One of them is going to be a gratitude journal.
You know what I'm grateful for today is one of them.
(28:03):
There'll be a notebook, there'll be a doc grid journal,
you know that kind of thing. And I'm also releasing
a black and white notebook called Catituded and it's again
a design of one of my sister's cat feisty two socks.
It's a really cool black and white drawing that I
(28:24):
did and it says cat Tude on the front. And
that's going to be a journal and that's going to
be released next week as well, and then the Christmas
and probably the Honk Ones will be coming up shortly.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
We're catching up.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
We're catching up since are but we're catching up. But
I wanted to make mention of that. I also want
to make mention of my little friend Julip, who passed
away this week. And I also want to make mention
of our little friend Daisy who they found a tumor
on her heart. And it's just I've got some friends
going some through very very difficult times right now with
their pets, and it's simply heartbreaking and it's not fair.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
It's just not fair. That's how I feel.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
And also to mention Bella, our friend Bella who passed
away as well this week. I mean, it's been, it's
been a very difficult time for lots and lots of
our friends. So we're sending all of our love to them.
But if you can definitely participate in the front raise
of a Gracie should be great.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
So grateful, so grateful, and yeah, it's been, it's been,
you know, some some difficult times there for our friends
and their pets.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
I found this article, Jim. It's fairly new actually actually
it's this month, and it was a longitudinal, long longitudinal
evidence of the impact of dog ownership and dog walking
on mental health. We talk a lot about mental health,
don't we.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
We walk the dogs all the time.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Interested why is my microphone squeaking?
Speaker 1 (29:53):
It should be grabbing it when you're.
Speaker 5 (29:55):
Talking, Abo, Then I know, mister Twigs is out of control.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
He's out of control, licking one foot.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
I hope we can't hear that. It's the one sound
people don't like when they're in bed at night. You know,
you just settle down to go to sleep, and it
starts that looking, oh, what is going on? Well, this
study and we've talked about well we've talked about decompression
(30:25):
walks and they're mainly.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
For dogs, but really for you as well.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
Well you think about decompression walk, but this is great research.
The abstract, the background is emerging evidence supports the physical
health and social benefits of dog ownership. This study examines
the longitudinal effect of dog ownership and dog walking on
mental health and the methods they use. So data from
a cohort of twenty three participants taking part in the
(30:50):
Residential Environments Project in Perth, Western Australia were collected over
a two year period. That's baseline and follow up health reports.
Survey items measured mental health, stress and depression, and dog
ownership status and weekly minutes of dog walking. And logistic
regression models accounted for a potential confounding factors including socio
(31:15):
no yeah, socio demographic, self rated health and baseline mental health.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Here are the results.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
Overall, statistically significant effects were observed over time between dog
ownership and stress or depression. There was a small inverse
but non significant association between weekly minutes of dog walking
and stress over time. Conclusion, they said that there's little
evidence of prospective associations between dog ownership or dog walking
(31:45):
and mental health, but they said that needs to be
further research is required to conform longitudinal relationships between dog
ownership and dog walking mental health and investigate dog related
factors such as a person's attachment to their dog.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Here's the thing, though, they can't say there's a relationship
between the two.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
But if you walk by yourself or you walked with
your dog, that does help you. Exercise helps your mental health.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
But they're just saying it doesn't matter whether you deal
with or yeah the dog.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
Yeah, but for me, I'm happy, even happier if I
got my dog with me, you know. So, But they
said there needs to be more research, and I think
most people listen to this are going to.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Go, no, there's definitely some really good benefits.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
But yeah, I thought that would be way more significant,
you know, than what it actually was. But it wasn't
interesting very interesting.
Speaker 5 (32:36):
When you have a dog, you have sometimes no choice.
You have to go for walks, and if you don't
have a dog, you don't go for walks. So it's
better to go for walks and not have that and
then have the motivation because you have to take your
dog because ours demand walks.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
They do. Yeah, there's a demand one.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
As soon as we're done with the show today, probably.
Speaker 4 (32:54):
You've just said that word three times and their ears
are up. Now don't bees they start bugging you in
a minute. Psychic pets? Do you have a psychic pet
link between you and your pets? I always say the
psychic because in your mind you can say let's go
over a walk.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Yeah, but in your mind.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
Just say it and then they start looking at you like, yeah,
let's go. So anyway, this is what's interesting. Why is
it that you can often feel that someone is staring
at you? How the pigeons home, you know? And the
homing pigeons. This is just some of the simple questions
posed by doctor Rupert Sheldrake. Witness firsthand the dramatic answers
and easy, inexpensive experiments you can perform for yourself. The
(33:39):
results could very could very well change how you view
the world. And it's based on a book called Seven
Experiments that Could Change the World. I Do it Yourself
Guide to Revolutionary Science. It was released in nineteen ninety
six by Walls Spring Media and Rupert Sheldrake. Doctor Rupert
Sheldrake produced and directed this documentary.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
I'm gonna link.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
It all out so you can actually watch it and
thinks about about an hour long. But there's one thing
that they show you and that's, you know, homing pigeons. Okay,
so they have homing pigeons from a hot and hot
that's on wheels, and then they move the hot and
guess what, they came back to the hot, even though
it was in a completely different place.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
They've never been to.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Pole won't get back to their home. They went back
to their.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Hut the hot was moved, and they somehow knew what was.
Speaker 5 (34:26):
I heard that they have the ability to read the
magnetic waves.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Of the earth.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Oh really, that's what I heard. Could be a little
bit like that.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
Maybe that tortoise was psychic as well, that made its
way back to its old home.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Yeah, it's interesting, isn't it. Animals.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
I'm telling you that the quite complex little creatures aren't they.
I mean, think about is it the bee that knows
how to you know, mathematically, knows how to do a
perfect hexagon octagon octagon hexagon?
Speaker 2 (34:59):
No is it?
Speaker 4 (35:03):
But they they're perfectly formed mathematically amazing, absolutely amazing. What
was that documentary watched at my sister's house with the
birds that were mating out their mating call and the
things that they do.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
The top birds that have strange rituals and dances and yeah,
they build monuments, have moves.
Speaker 4 (35:26):
Yeah, they will build these monuments to attract the female bird.
Then there with these crazy dancers.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
It was brilliant.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
I have to say that documentary was so interesting and funny,
really funny.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
If I can find it, I will definitely share it
with you. But it was very good, wasn't it.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Jim.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
I'm having issues with my mic today.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Going on, driving me crazy.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
So what we got coming up? Let's think about what
we've got coming up?
Speaker 4 (35:56):
We've got I'm involved once again with Murray saw Chuck
Sel which a magician might have seen him on America's
Got Talent and once again working with Murray to raise
money for animal rescue through his show that's going to
be on December the twentieth at the Tropicana Hotel inside
the Laugh Factory Theater. So that's coming up tomorrow night.
(36:17):
We're going to see Piff the Magic Dragon. I met
Piff a couple of weeks ago, and you will have
seen him on America's Got Talent. There you go, and
he's known for his comedy. He's a dragon and his
little sidekick is mister Piffles, and he is a psychic.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
Chihuahua. He's a psychick chiaa.
Speaker 4 (36:41):
So I'll be seeing his show where both of us
will tomorrow night. What else have we got coming up
as far as fundraising? Oh, actually, there's gonna be a
big pet supply fundraiser at Barks Parks coming up soon
in Vegas. Yes, and that's going to help a lot
of rescues out. And I feel like there's one more
(37:05):
thing that I'm involved in and it's not coming to mind.
Can't think what it is, no idea. It'll come maybe
on the next show. And talking of Christmas, I've already
got my Christmas tree up, I know, but here's the thing.
If your Christmas tree makes you happy, put it up.
(37:26):
Put it up early. I've been watching all.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
The Hallmark Christmas films. It's been great. I've got my
Christmas pajamas on right now.
Speaker 4 (37:35):
Yeah, I love them, and I know the plots are
always the same, but they always feel good, and there's
nothing wrong with feeling good whatsoever. So Yeah, lots happening,
and I'm looking at things that I can involve my
dogs in. The the Ethelm's Chocolate Factory. I know for
a fact we can take our dogs there to tour
around the cactus gardens that they decorate in a fabulous
(37:58):
way for Christmas. There is and I can't take my
dogs in this one, but there's a train ride and
a ninety minute train ride, and it's the Pajama train ride,
which I'm an expert now wearing pajamas in public. So
it's hot chocolate and biscuits, cookies, and it's a ninety
minute ride and the story time, which I think is lovely.
(38:19):
There's also the Electric Light Parade that's going to be
happening in Boulder City. One thing I will say about parades,
particularly the ones in summer, don't take your dogs to
parades are really boiling hot. Don't take your dogs to parade,
and they don't like people. They don't like the loud
sounds of you know, cars going by and floats going by,
(38:39):
and you know, generally, if they don't enjoy it, don't
put them through that.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
It's not fair. It's really not fair.
Speaker 4 (38:45):
Same with the night parade. It's gonna be really goold.
So if you are going to take your dog's gotta
wrap them up. And again, if they don't like that
kind of scene, then let them stay at home.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
I've been to far too many raids.
Speaker 4 (39:00):
It's made me sick to my stomach to see dogs
terrified and the people just keep them there. It's horrible.
It's awful that it does ruin ruin the event, doesn't it. Gym,
We've left before We've got to call the police before
there's drunk people at nine in the morning that I
had a big was it a chain on that dog's.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
Neck around the light pole?
Speaker 4 (39:21):
Yeah, and they changed all that part and left the
dog around crowds and oh gosh.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
They went to get their beer.
Speaker 4 (39:28):
So we got the police involved in that. I mean,
animal welfare, Come on, people, Come on. I still will
never understand. But for example, if I wasn't that into dogs,
would I get a dog? If I was not that
into parrots.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
Would I get a parrot?
Speaker 4 (39:46):
So I don't understand how people get them in the
first place. If they're not that into them, you can
tell they're not by their actions. How does that even
enter your head?
Speaker 2 (39:55):
If you're not really.
Speaker 4 (39:56):
Into dogs, why do you have one? There is a
there isn't it's a right conundrum? Isn't it a right conundrum?
Speaker 2 (40:04):
Anyway? Jim, that looks like we got to the end
of our show. Unless you've got something else you want
to say.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
No, I'm still I wake up at two am.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
Yeah, like I do, jet go.
Speaker 1 (40:14):
Back to sleep.
Speaker 5 (40:15):
So I think right now, when we finish the show,
I'm going to suit up these dogs and we're going
to go out.
Speaker 4 (40:21):
Oh you know what we are going to do this afternoon.
We're going to run over to Public Works coffee shop
in Henderson and we are going to plan a notebook
shopping day. Now, all the notebooks that I design are
all animal themed, so we will make sure we post
that on our social media because it would love to
see everyone come and grab a coffee and do a
(40:42):
little shopping. I mean, heck, you've got to buy presents
for people, and if you've got animal lovers in your
family and in your circle of friends. Those my notebooks.
I'm going to say it, and I'm going to say it.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
They're cool, aren't they called.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
Jim very cool?
Speaker 4 (40:57):
Yeah, creative, Yeah, I think they make for really nice gifts.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
But on that note, I'm gonna say goodbye. Mister Twigs.
Probably won't. He's still locking his foot.
Speaker 4 (41:09):
That noise noise enough to make you crazy. Do you
know what, if you get a chance today, run over
to my Instagram account. Help me name that little red
Robin redbreast on my winter series of notebooks.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
She needs a name. I know she's a girl, but
she needs a name.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
Anyway, It's been great to be back and back on track,
and we'll be back on track next week like we
normally are. And I hope you've enjoyed today's show. We've
