Speaker 1 (00:05):
Hello pet enthusiasts , Welcome to the live show Pet
Chat.
My name is Jason Zagowski.
I'm the dog dad of Bunsen andBeaker and Bernoulli and Ginger
the science animals of socialmedia.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
My co-host with the mostest is Hi there, my name is
Chris Z sakowski and I am thedog mom to bunsen, beaker and
bernoulli and the cat mom toginger every weekend pet chat,
we bring together our communitythat is on x or twitter,
facebook and instagram, so we'redoing like this combined
(00:40):
multicast, as it were.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Okay, so, chris, do you want to give everybody one
of the one of the stories of theweek with the animals?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Do we want to talk about Bernoulli going to Waggles
today for wagon play?
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Sure, you can talk about.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
you could talk about Bernoulli, yeah sure, bernoulli
has a Bernoulli cam right thereand he is such a good boy.
We took him today to go towaggles, for wagon play, and he
had such a great time hangingout with his friends.
Additionally, we had to go totown, and so going to town is
sometimes more than one stop.
(01:14):
So, jason's, I want to getgroceries.
And I said, okay, that'sawesome.
So we've stopped in the parkinglot, and then I said I'll just
stay in the car with Bernoulliand he's like, really Like that
he had to go shopping by himself, but what I did is, in the same
parking lot there is a storecalled Bone and Biscuit where we
went today, and he was able toget a Popsicle, oh no, a
(01:39):
Puppuccino.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Yeah.
And so that was really.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Yeah, it was really fun that he got a puppuccino
today and then I just wanted himto have interactions with more
people.
So he did he had interactionswith people.
I actually was looking at maybea new color for him because
he's so big, he's outgrown allof his things.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Yeah, we need a bigger.
You're laughing.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Jason, but it's true.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
And he is enormous.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
And then what?
Oh?
And then I walked him aroundthe parking lot and then we sat
outside save on foods, and thenwe got into the car so he got
some interaction with people.
And then we took him to wagglesand he got to run around and
play with all his other littlefriends, and he got to play with
adults there too that werehanging out with their dogs.
(02:25):
So it was a really greatafternoon.
Everybody had a wonderful time.
No issues.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Yeah, he plays really well with the other dogs and
what I like is when he's sick ofthe dogs he sees the people.
He just goes from person toperson and of course generally
he is very opportunistic, sohe'll seek out the people that
have given him treats in thepast, so he likes those people
the most.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
I wonder why.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
I wonder why we got a nice comment from Brent.
He says he's watching fromOttawa and he overcame his big
fear of dogs this week when hewas helping train the guide dogs
for blind people.
So that's very cool.
Susan is asking chris, Ithought bernoulli ate the tim
beebs hat, and then you havelots of comments about loving
(03:10):
your tim beebs hat okay, so Idecided to wear my tim beebs hat
, so I was a little bit.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I misspoke.
He only shredded the wrapper ofthe tim bieber.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Justin bieber, tim horton's what compilation or,
and they smushed like tim bieberwith tim yeah, tim bits horton,
yeah, tim bits.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
So justin bieber, tim hortons, anyway.
No, I, bernoulli, okay, I'mgonna.
I'm gonna tell the truth here.
I may or may not have boughtabout three or four tim biebs
hats, because I lose toques likethey're going out of style, and
so I wanted to make sure that Ihad enough of these toques when
they were available, and so Ibought lots plural, more than
(03:56):
one and but Bernoulli only gotinto the wrapper, which he also
OK, this is funny.
I gave Jason's hey, do you haveany shopping bags in your
classroom?
Of course I do.
I have these like bags that webuy Anyway.
So I gave Jason them and therewas two, precious two plastic
(04:16):
bags, because we've said no toplastic bags here in Canada and
we have a whole little sock fullof them and I'm like here you,
you go and you get these twoplastic bags bonus deal.
No, they do not exist anymorebecause bernoulli went into the
bags, the bag of bags, and heroinked them out and then
(04:38):
destroyed them in about ananosecond.
So that's what he did with thewrapper, or the plastic that was
on my Tim Biebs.
I call it Biebs because it'sjust a funny thing.
If Adam were here, he makesthis really funny thing, but
it's Tim Biebs hat, and so thewrapper Bernoulli disintegrated,
because that's what he does.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah, his math teacher in French immersion had
a deep voice and an accent.
His math teacher in Frenchimmersion had a deep voice and
an accent and that he would sayTim Biebs and Adam is very good
at impersonating everybody'svoice.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yeah, he's so freakishly good at
impersonations.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Yeah, he's quite good .
He is right up there with thenumber of voices that what's his
face from Family Guy can do.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Seth MacFarlane.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Seth MacFarlane yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
That's funny, I'm funny.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Yeah, all right.
So, yeah, do Seth McFarlane.
Seth McFarlane yeah, that'sfunny, I'm funny.
Yeah, all right, so yeah.
So there's, that's the wholestory about the Tim Biebs hat.
I'm just checking through thechat.
I think we'll do a little bitbetter job of answering some of
the comments rather than lettingthem sit, because if you have
to wait 20 minutes to have yourquestion or comment answered,
that's a pain in the butt.
So, yeah, there's just peopleare just saying where they're
from, just double checking that.
We did have a question ontwitter about sun dogs and we
(05:51):
get them when it has to be abright, sunny day, so no clouds
in the sky, and it also has tobe generally very cold.
I don't think I've ever seen asun dog when it's been minus
below minus 20.
Like, it has to be like reallycold for us and then, as it gets
colder, sparkling in the sky.
(06:12):
We're just used to it, but itmust be weird to people when it
gets that cold and that's theice crystals that formed.
It's just fly through the sky,they sparkle, and when that
happens really high up in theatmosphere, they refract the
sunlight into basically falsesuns all around the sun and
sometimes they make a perfectcircle with points of light,
(06:34):
like where you would think across is, uh, like the points of
a cross, or just left and rightof the sun, um, and it's really
cool when it's a perfect circle, and it was that.
Twice this week I saw theperfect circle and I got video
of it one time.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
So and annalise had actually never seen it before.
She probably had seen it, butshe never took note of it, and
she's.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
That is so cool it is cool, it's like it's very cool
yeah but you also have to havethe right angle to the sun.
So you saw it in town and Ididn't see it at home.
You were in town and I was notteaching this week, so I was, I
went out to look and it was veryweak.
So it really depends on yourangle to the sun too.
Oh, another good question fromMadison about the, the boiling
(07:19):
water fireworks that I do.
How cold does it have to be?
So the colder the better.
Minus 25 Celsius and whateverthat is in Fahrenheit you'll
have to convert it.
That's really loud, bernoulli.
Minus 25 is about the cutoffthat I would do it at, because
if it's not cold enough and youchuck boiling water into the air
(07:40):
, it'll come back down on youand you'll hurt yourself.
You'll just get covered withboiling water, and the water has
to be really hot.
So what I do is, instead ofusing a kettle, I actually want
the water hotter than what akettle can produce.
So I boil the water in a potand then I put it into travel
mugs or like a big craft, andthen the travel mug holds a
(08:03):
small amount of water.
I've seen people do it with awhole big pot and I think that's
dangerous.
That's what I used to do.
But then I'm like this isdangerous, like throwing that
much water in there, so a littleContigo or travel mug, and then
I arc it.
So I just had practice to get abetter.
So I throw it and swing my armin an arc and then, yeah, it
(08:25):
gets that fancy beautifulboiling water to steam and snow.
And then the snow rains down onyou and it turns to steam.
But if it's minus 35 for us andcolder, you get the you.
It's amazing.
It goes from being oh, that'scool to being like wow, big
(08:45):
difference from minus 25 tominus 35.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yeah, and I wouldn't even recommend minus 25.
I would say minus 35 is thestart.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yeah, and I would practice chucking it in front of
you, right, because I know Icheck the temperature before I
do it, so I know that if I chuckit above my head I'm not going
to get scalded.
People have been seriouslyburned doing that when it hasn't
.
I've seen it on tiktok.
It was like people were doingit in different parts of the
(09:15):
state states when it got coldand it was like minus two and
I'm like, oh god, that isnowhere near the temperature
required.
It might be cold for youbecause you've never felt that
cold before, but it's got to belike really cold to get that.
That kind of fancy thing.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Like when you go outside and your lungs just
seize up that cold.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
You go like that is how cold it has to be.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Another fun comment.
Betsy says I've got the zerodays since last ginger mauling
mug.
Thank you for buying stuff fromour store.
Yeah, we had our cartoonistdraw that up and it's adorable.
That's actually my cell phonecase.
That the oh, this is the oh.
No, it's on the bernoulli camcell phone case, has it?
It's the illustration there.
So thanks, betsy.
Do I have a story this week?
(10:04):
I don't know what I should talkabout.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Bunsen continues to get a little better you went
cross-country skiing today withthe dog I did.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Yeah, so that was it has been since before christmas
I was able to go skiing like forone.
Bernoulli was recovering fromhis vasectomy so he was on rest
and it was cold like it's beenlike ridiculously cold and then
dark.
So when I get home from workit's pitch black.
I'm not ski through the darkwith the dogs, so there's a
(10:35):
couple things that have to goright for me to be able to go
skiing, and january's awrite-off, because january is
usually freaking cold and it wasunseasonably cold in february.
So we've had a really coldcouple two months and it was
beautiful.
It was so hot.
Today I was sweating through mytoque.
Yeah, it was awesome.
Taking the dogs, I loved it.
They are probably bernoulli.
(10:57):
Looks like he's got a lot ofenergy but he's cooked.
We went for a good 45 minutesor maybe more on a big ski.
Yeah, yeah, that was fun.
There'll be some video of it.
You took some video of meskiing.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I did, I did.
I'm just like content queenhere Anytime I see, get some
content.
But okay, I had a wonderfulmoment with Bunsen.
It's going to make me a littlebit verklempt, like that when
you get that caught in yourthroat and your eyes water, and
it's like that.
Me a little bit verklempt likethat when you're get that caught
in your throat and your eyeswater and it's like that that
there's a word for that it'sverklempt and so you went away
(11:32):
and bunsen's been very sad thathe's been left behind, but he
can't go with being on rest theway he is he.
There's no way that he can godown by the creek and go like
that, but he'd wreck himselflike he oh yeah, he would do it
no, we're not doing that yeah,but that would he would wreck
himself yeah yeah, no, so we'renot interested in having him
wreck himself.
But so I went out and I did thebird feeders, because we've got
(11:56):
the little chickadees comingout they woke up from torpor,
yep yep, and so on the deckthere was a pile of snow and it
was soft.
And I brought bunsen out to thedeck with me and he was so happy
.
He was tunneling through thesnow and just laying in it and
(12:19):
being so happy with me on thedeck.
And so instead of going insideafter doing the birds, the bird
feeders, I just sat out therewith him and he just got to be
himself in the snow yeah, that'sbeen tough to leave him behind
on adventures but, like, really,he's been out of the winter
(12:40):
since november since we noticedhis gates changing.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
He's really been on rest since then, strict rest
since his MRI of his bulge discand I just wanted to, I didn't
mean to correct you there, chris, he can walk.
It's not like he can't walk atall, he's just on rest to heal.
Yeah, and we think I don'tthink I know he's getting better
, his gait is getting better,he's stronger, everything is
(13:05):
improving but it's very slow.
There's we've we got a couplemessages from people who their
dog has had something similarand the advice to them was much
the same rest and see and it waslike two months for most dogs
without and they rested for twomonths and they did not need
surgery.
And there's still a couplethings they're not allowed to do
anymore jump off the bed, bedor and run down the stairs.
So they got his ramp.
(13:26):
But yeah, that was good to hearfrom a couple of people who
have been in a similar situationto us.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I didn't think I sounded like he couldn't go.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Sorry, chris, I didn't mean it that way.
I just meant that I didn't wantto make people really honestly
can't go.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Yeah because otherwise he would hurt himself.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Because there's hills and the whole idea is that he
would be jumping onto, like hischest and shoving up into his
neck, which, no, no.
But the good news is like Ibought that ramp when we had the
alien baby taken out of him andthey said, hey, you should get
a ramp, and so I did, and then Iput it away because we didn't
(14:06):
need the ramp anymore.
What Brought it back out and heuses the ramp.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
So that was a good purchase.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Yeah, it was.
He did not want to use the rampto start with and now he's fine
with it.
So it's just, it just takes,just, takes practice.
Oh hey, somebody has a commentabout how we heat our homes so
we don't freeze to death.
That's a great question fromPat Natural gas.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Natural gas yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Alberta is situated really on where the Bear Paw Sea
was.
Millions of years ago, bear PawSea dried up and tectonic
plates pushed things together,so that's how there's land here
now and all the little seacritters and algae and
what's-its that were in the sea.
They got covered up and becameoil and gas.
(14:51):
Also the forests and the fernsand the swamps that surrounded
the Bear Paw Sea.
They died and got covered upand that became coal.
So Alberta has huge deposits ofcoal, oil and natural gas, and
the one thing that we have inabundance like the stores of it,
basically infinite is coal bedmethane is what it's called.
(15:15):
So as the coal compacts anddecays, it releases trapped
gases, which is methane, andwhen I worked in the oil patch
in between teaching certificatesthat was known we called
methane sweet gas because sourgas would kill you.
So we were always worried aboutsour gas was not something that
(15:46):
was commercially used, becauseAlberta would heat.
Their most homes were heatedwith electric heaters, like
electric air blowers, and thenthere was a big change to
natural gas.
So, yeah, we have a natural gasis piped into our house and our
furnace burns it and thenthat's wicked outside.
The fumes are wicked outsideand then the hot air is blown
around our house.
(16:07):
Is that too much of a sciencetalk there, chris?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
No, that was good, that was beautiful.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Yeah, wasn't that long ago a lot of people in
Alberta used coal like burntcoal to heat their house.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
We live on the road called the Coal Trail.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
And so they would travel the road that we live on,
like my grandpa would, in hishorse and carriage, to go get
more coal to worm the house.
Now the original farmhouseisn't here, but the one built in
1918 is, and so he would havegone to get coal for that house.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Is there much coal mining?
Not anymore, no.
So the coal that Alberta has isthere's three or four different
qualifications of coal or liketypes of coal, and we have it's
called sub bitumous or shalecoal, and it was really.
It's really only good to heatyour home with.
(17:09):
It's not the stuff that youwould make steel.
So that fell apart when peopledidn't need to heat their, when
people didn't need to heat theirhomes with coal anymore, that
all the coal mines in albertastopped.
So that was the end of that.
But we still used coal forelectricity.
When I was a kid that's whereall of our electricity came from
(17:29):
was coal plants that wereburning coal, thermoelectric
plants, and now they've switchedto natural gas, so burns with
less particulate.
Obviously it still createsgreenhouse gases, but that's
what Alberta uses, just becauseit's so plentiful.
All right, chris, I'm going tomove the camera upstairs, so are
(17:51):
you okay bringing some folks upor holding the fork down while
I take the camera upstairs?
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Yes, absolutely.
Are there any more stories thatyou would like me to share this
week?
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Anything you want to talk about.
You can talk more about yourhat, because people want to know
more about it, or you can thinkabout some stories of the week
or bring folks up on audio.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
But I'm gonna peace out and bring bernoulli upstairs
okay, so did we say a word fromour sponsor we, you could talk
about them.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
We have no prize yet from them.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
We could do our own prize later sure I'm not going
to talk about that because Idon't have access to the
roadcaster to make sound, tomake the music.
Jason makes all the magichappen in his little tech room
there, but I would like to resetthe room.
So tonight we are hosting ashow.
It's called Pet Chat and itsays come talk pets.
(18:43):
That's the name of the show andthat's what we do here.
We share our stories of theweek with Bunsen, beaker and
Bernoulli and Ginger, and thenwe open up the floor to speakers
who would like to speak.
Now the only participants thatcan speak aloud are the ones on
audio, which is X audio, andJason already explained that it
(19:08):
magically, just is magical.
It goes through his roadcasterto be multicasted across the
different social media platforms.
So if, at this time, if there'sanybody who would like to come
on up to speak, I will vet you.
Usually, if there's someone whowe've had lots of times before,
then it's a-okay.
(19:29):
But Jason and I were talkingthis morning about hey, it's
been a long time since we've hadinappropriates come up or asked
to come up.
That hasn't.
That was been great.
So I'm maybe there's just lessof them and Jason's like oh, I
think we just do a good job ofJason's doing the camera.
I don't know If you're watching.
That's what's happening.
(19:49):
It looks like the Blair WitchProject.
If you're watching on the audioor on the live.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
That's the best I got , Chris.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
I love it.
It's perfect.
It's perfecto, okay.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
I just got to close the doors now.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Where are you?
The Renewal Cam went away.
Close the doors.
Now where are you?
The Bernoulli cam went away.
He turned off the audio to itanyway, so no one has requested
to come up to speak, so I'lljust share.
I'm in Adam's room.
Jason is 3d printing and it'smaking a sound.
(20:30):
So I thought, hey, I'm justgoing to go into Adam's room so
you can see the different decor.
He has these twinkle lights.
Twinkly lights.
They're really cool.
They're like three bit or likeMinecraft, they're 12 bit, I
don't know.
I don't know the tech term,jason will.
And so here I am in Adam's room.
(20:51):
He wants to make sure.
I don't know how to get ontohis computer, but I know how to
get onto his laptop, but I don'tknow how to get onto his
computer.
Computer he's.
You know the password.
No, I don't.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
All right, I've set up the Bernoulli cam.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Up there.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
So I've just been sharing my location live on
location from Adam's room.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
All right.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
And yeah, because no one is.
Oh, there's one request now.
I request to speak.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Yeah, I've moved Paula up.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Oh, great, thank you.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
All right, so we're going to bring in some speakers.
I don't really have anythingelse to share.
It was a pretty low key weekfor me.
Maybe have something at the end, I don't know, but we're share.
It was a pretty low-key weekfor me.
Maybe have something at the end, I don't know.
Uh, but we're gonna bring upfolks who want to share their
pet stories or ask questions andI'll be checking the different.
I'll be checking the differentsites for comments and questions
and we'll be getting to those.
So you'll hear a couple peopleon audio right now who are on
(21:46):
spaces, which is on twitter or x.
All right, so we'll go to Paulaand then we'll pop back and
forth.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Hi everybody, How's everybody doing?
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Good Hi Paula.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
Hi, we loved all your content this week because you
were way colder than us and wewere still cold, it's relative
it was way colder in Canada, Iknow, and it was weird because
we had so much ice that thelawns look like cupcakes.
Like the roofs are still gotsnow in it.
It's ice.
It looks like a glazed donuteverywhere.
It's really crazy.
But today it started just alittle bit warming up so it's
(22:21):
starting to melt.
But it melts weird because theice is so hard on the top that
it actually makes like theseskeleton meltings on the bottom.
It's really weird and you cansee it's like fingers holding up
the ice, but anyway.
But we had a kind of excitingweek this week.
It was Trixie's second birthday.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Oh, congrats On.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
Thursday.
I almost forgot it because Iwas really sick with vertigo.
Oh no, oh yeah, Happy birthday.
But we managed to get her inher little birthday hat.
She sometimes likes to getdressed and then sometimes she
doesn't like to get dressed.
So we threw it on anyway and wesaid OK, you're going to get a
(23:02):
little birthday picture.
So we, we celebrated that wayand it was a real quick day
because, like I said, I hadspent most of the day in bed.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Oh no, Sorry to hear that, Paula.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
Oh man, thanks, I'll tell you that's no, if anybody's
been through vertigo, it's likeDorothy and Wizard of Oz had
nothing on me and it's like thebed was spinning at full tilt.
It was like, oh, but then myhusband, thank goodness, had
some medicine, so he's like here, take this, and I'm like, okay,
and it halved it, so it wasgreat, so I could do stuff
(23:36):
during the latter part of theday, so that really helped out,
but anyway, but Trixie had herbig day and I can't believe it's
two.
She's two already, because sheis a terrible two.
I love that dog, but she isfunny, so we're just can't
believe how fast time flies.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Yeah, it goes by quickly.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Yeah, it sure does.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Yeah, Bernoulli's in his terrible twos, and by that
terrible 10 months.
The disadvantage of where I putthe camera, Chris, is we don't
know what Bernoulli's doing.
He is off camera right nowgoing rogue.
He could be taking things offthe counters, but all we see is
Beaker's butt and Bunsen's head.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
So no, but every other time I can't see him
either.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Oh, we can see when he sneaks things though.
So yeah, we know about theterrible twos.
Paula, not that Bernoulli isterrible, he's just a puppy.
He's a good boy.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
No, he's still a puppy, he's okay.
He's still in that.
Actually, so is Trixie, becauseI guess most dogs are puppy
till they're age two.
So I can see her kind of beinga little bit more mature.
She doesn't do crazy thingslike she used to, but I still
got to keep an eye on her causeshe'll get in trouble, Trixie
(24:55):
trouble.
But hey, we love her and she'sgot some issues but we're going
to hopefully get them ironed out.
We're going to.
We're actually going to go seea dog behaviorist because she's
been really guarding my husbandover me.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
So it okay.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Oh yeah, so it can come and go, which is weird.
I don't know if anybody's gotany experience with this type.
I've never experienced this inmy whole life.
Usually dogs when you own them,they see you kind of as equals.
They'll fade for one more, youknow, by following them and all
that stuff.
But this time around she lovesmy husband and she loves me,
(25:31):
because if I'm away dog sittingshe'll come and greet me like
she never saw me before.
And then there's other timesthat if I come downstairs, say
taking a shower, and you comedownstairs and she's sitting on
the couch with her husband, shegives me this look like, don't
you dare come near him, and it'sOK, oh gosh.
So it's been a little challengebut, like I said, we're going
to hopefully work on some ofthese issues and see what we can
(25:53):
do to iron them out the one Iremember and I'm not a dog
trainer that I'm just going offof what folks we've spoken to on
the podcast have suggested.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
With little dogs that that do that like they is, try
not to let them feel that theyare the like the queen or the
princess by being held by theperson they're resource guarding
all the time like that personshould give them the cold
shoulder a bit oh, yes, he doesthat okay, he totally puts his
(26:24):
back to her and yeah, and he'lljust say go in your crate, and
she'll go in there yeah, andthen she pouts for half an hour
and then oh no, oh no
Speaker 4 (26:34):
gosh, she pouts and I should take video of this
because people probably thinkI've been drinking something.
But it's like she has thisdifferent expression on her face
and then and then she'll comeout of the crate and she slinks
to me, like, like she didsomething bad.
I didn't say anything.
She's just slinking toward meand then she'll put her head in
my chest and like go, okay, I'msorry.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
It's been a rodeo.
Keep checking the comments andsee if people say anything.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
Oh, that would be great.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Like I said.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
if someone's been through this, I would like a
little piece of advice becauseit's really been a time.
But anyway, thank you very muchand, like I said, I'll put the
little picture.
If I can find my post, I'll putit up in the nest for you for
Trixie's birthday.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Okay, sounds good, paula.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
Okay, take care, gary , buddy, have a good week.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
I'll bet you, speaking of Queens Ginger made
an appearance and Chris pickedher up just as I was saying that
and people thought that washilarious.
So we got some comments saying,speaking of queens, there's
Queen Ginger.
Somebody asked about Bunsen'srecovery.
Just real quick, that's bad guy.
Rudy Bunsen's recovery is goinggood, very slow, but he is
(27:45):
improving.
Like his gait is getting betterand he's not slipping as much
and if you're watching live he'slike right near the camera just
laying down right there.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
That's his favorite trick.
Yeah, lie down, lie down.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Yeah, exactly yeah.
No more questions, some nice.
I'll read one comment and thenwe'll go to our next speaker,
which is Jen.
Somebody just got to go back up.
There's a lot of as people joinon Instagram.
It tells me they've joined, soit's just like most of it is
notifications of people joining.
Rod Rod says I just want to sayenjoy your channel, thank you.
I have three burners in my lifeand seeing yours is very fun.
(28:21):
Aw, that's cute.
Thank you, okay.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
We'll go to Jen.
Hi, Jen how are you?
Okay, we'll go to Jen.
Hi Jen how are you?
Speaker 3 (28:30):
I'm okay, how are you doing?
While Sorry about that, butjust want to echo that this is
still my favorite ex person yourgroup and so to speak and I'm
glad you guys are still doing awholesome family-friendly pet
chat.
So thanks for doing that and Ithink that's really important
that you keep doing that.
So that's first thing.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
I'll just wait till we start trying to hawk what we
got coming forward here, somecryptocurrency, jen?
No, I'm just teasing.
We'll fit right in with 99% ofthe other spaces here on Twitter
.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
I know, yeah, anyway, I wouldn't blame you for doing
it.
But no, that's as long as itall went to charity.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
It's all a scam, it's all.
It makes no sense to me, butanyway, no, it doesn't.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
I 100% agree.
Anyway, I wanted to say hi toeveryone, hi to both you and
Paula, and thanks for the postson the weather.
Being from Saskatchewan, it'sreally funny, right, right,
because it was so cold here,yeah, and of course we love to
brag that we were the coldestplace in canada or the world for
(29:36):
two days?
yes, yeah, and then I saw yourpost that it went from whatever
to plus three and I was warningeveryone and they're like no,
that's not going to happen.
And I'm like no, he's ascientist and it's going to
happen.
And it did and it was prettyfunny and and I I'm a cat person
I love seeing the videos of thedoggies, but especially ginger
(29:56):
and like, how did like.
How did she do in this?
Did she want to go out as soonas it got hot?
Speaker 1 (30:02):
she wanted to go out when it was minus 40.
She was insane, yeah.
So she got out a bunch of timesbecause I was not to get too
much into it.
Chris had to work this week acouple of days and I had a
couple of days off and I usedthose that opportunity to do
some spring cleaning, which isgetting rid of some of Chris's
(30:22):
clutter.
Ginger got out a whole bunch oftimes and every time she got
out it's like she forgot howcold it was and she wanted right
back in.
I'd let her just mill about.
She went under the stairs,cause she likes to go under
there, and then 10 seconds latershe's like holy heck, what is
this?
And she like slunk back intothe door.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Oh, that's funny.
Do you guys have a cat doorthat she can come in and out of?
Speaker 1 (30:49):
No, we have a catio and it's warm enough for her to
go in the catio now.
So I think we'll put her in thecatio tomorrow for a bit.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
She loves it.
Oh, that's nice.
Anyway, thanks for the postswith the weather again and stuff
like that.
I posted a reply on a sun dogand you're right, we take this
for granted, right?
We had sun dogs here insaskatoon for three days and I'm
like, nah, I'm not takinganother picture.
I know what happened again nextyear, but it's really amazing,
(31:20):
right, when you see that sort ofstuff.
Anyway, I just wanted to hi ateveryone and hope you're all
doing well and thanks againthanks, jen, like it.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
The northern lights was like that.
There was a stretch where Ididn't look for them and I would
get notifications on my phone.
I'm like man.
I regret that there was like agood stretch of eight, seven to
eight years where they would behappening and I would be like
nah.
And now every time I go outside, I go, I make a point of going
(31:48):
outside at night, every day,every night, and then I look up
for them yeah, I agree.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Even there was one here in saskatoon where the it
looks like the sun dog had a sundog, if that makes sense oh
yeah yeah, and I was like stopand take a picture and I was
like now and I'm like I'm notdoing that again.
You know we have to appreciatethis stuff, but I'm glad it's
not just me, makes you feel abit better.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
So thanks, jen.
Hey, paula, we have somebody,uh, nancy front, who's watching
on facebook.
So she says it mostly takestime and the person being
guarded can't allow it, praiseit, ignore it.
So that's like echoing what thetrainer said, and obviously you
said your husband's doing that,but that's just a comment from
(32:32):
facebook for you okay, thanks,tell him.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
Thank you so much perfect, thanks, nancy.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
I'll just quickly check.
Oh so somebody's asking aboutthe catio in the winter.
Now this it's interesting.
She could be in her catio inthe winter because it's
insulated and it's got.
You got it with some kind ofheat lamp, chris.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Okay.
So yes, technically we coulduse it in the winter.
But I gave Gord the heat lampsfor the chickens.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
So he has been raising chickens from the
chickens that we have.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
And he was like, oh, I need a heat lamp.
And I said Ginger has two inher catio because, okay, there's
a reason why we can't have nicethings here on lawn ornaments,
because they blow away into nextweek.
Like it's terrible.
Like even if you think, oh,this is really anchored down, no
, nothing is when those windscome.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
bye-bye snowman it's just because of where it's,
because of where our house is.
Our house sits on a bluff right.
It sits on like we have a, aravine, I don't know, like it's
a creek ravine and that windjust it creates like a tongue
links, like a circle effect asit goes down and then up, as it
blows in from the north andit'll just take it you're right,
(33:55):
chris like it'll takeeverything away which you're
very sad about every yeah, Iwish I could have like really
nice lawn ornaments, but I can't.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
But we got the catio with this insulated stuff on it
yeah but it's taking a beating,like we had to take some of it
off, so I wouldn't put ginger init in the winter yeah, even
where it's in the most protectedplace, it's still getting a
took a beating from the wind.
Um yeah even stuff that we'veattached down, like the stuff
(34:23):
that's anchored to the deck,bye-bye yeah, the weird like
hotel racky thing that for somereason you got from Facebook
marketplace.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Oh, I love that thing that I've turned into a I've
hanged bird feeders from.
That hasn't blown over becausethat thing weighs 10 million
kilograms.
That is basically made from adying neutron star.
That's how heavy that is.
That will never, ever blow away.
That's what we need to get thelawn owner ornaments made of.
Is that same kind of like?
Speaker 2 (34:53):
I don't know, it's made of animantium or something
yeah, because it doesn't matterhow much you anchor it in, you
think this is enough.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
It's not we had a tree from costco that was
beautiful.
It was like a.
It was a fake tree and everybranch had lights on it.
It looked like yeah, like littlecherry blossoms yeah, and it
looked like the tree of gondor.
If, like the white tree ofgondor, when it was at night and
I set that up in front of herhouse and it was like it looks
(35:26):
so, so good, because it justlooked like this glowing tree
and that lasted a month and thenit blew away like it blew over
and got smashed and I anchoredthat in with I've got chopsticks
here longer than this likerailway tie spikes.
No, ntm, just gone, like justdone Done.
(35:51):
It's in Oz, it's gone forever.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
Gone forever.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Yeah, this is in Pet Chat.
This is weather, so we'll go toSarah, who's on Twitter.
Go ahead, sarah.
Speaker 5 (36:03):
Hey, hi, you guys, Love you guys, love your dogs
and, of course, ginger.
I love Ginger.
Yeah, so the adoption has wentthrough for my little husky yay
she is quite a terror.
She's a little over a year,we're estimating.
Just found out that she mayhave been a mom, oh, which
(36:25):
really upsets me.
So you she gives birth and thenyou take the puppies and you
just throw her into a shelter.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Oh, wow.
Speaker 5 (36:34):
You know what I mean.
She's getting better.
But today they locked me out ofthe house so I had to go around
and unlock and go through mygarage, go through my house to
unlock everything and unlock theback door, not realizing that I
left the gate open, hi Ginger.
So she ran out the front.
Last week she ran into theneighbor's yard twice because
(36:59):
there was a missing fence post.
Got that fixed, now she's inthe front yard, but she came
right back.
I don't know, that's very Husky.
Like Huskies are like escapeartists, and don't they usually
just go?
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Some do.
Yeah, I don know.
I just it's probably dogdependent.
There.
There are probably lots ofdifferent dogs that as soon as
the doors open they have thatgood cronk and evil cronk from
emperor's new groove and one isdon't and the other one's like
run away and they just decide torun but she is doing so much
better and improving and sheneeds some training and we're
gonna get training done.
Speaker 5 (37:35):
Yay, and it's a whole process with the new puppy it's
a lot of work, even if it's amother puppy, but she's getting
along with my german shepherd,so both odin and loki, big
marvel fan over here, aregetting along.
Yay, okay, you guys have agreat time and I am interested
(37:57):
in what Paul has to talk abouttoday.
Bye.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
Thanks, sarah.
Chris, your friend Megan had aHusky right.
Was that Athena Megan?
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
Who died sadly last year.
Athena was a scape artist.
She was like classic husky,like runaway classic yeah yeah,
yeah, when they lived in, whenher and thane before they had
their little guy.
What's the little guy's nameagain?
Jacob sorry, jacob.
Yeah, so they lived in reder.
Athena got out I don't know howmany times then.
(38:33):
Yeah, it felt bad for them.
Escape artist.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
And then she had Sophie to her retriever.
Speaker 5 (38:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
And she would.
Then she got the genius idea ofclicking them together when she
went for a run with them,because Sophie listened, and
then Athena's.
Oh, I'm stuck to this goldenretriever because, sophie
listened, and then athena's.
Oh, I'm stuck to this goldenretriever can't run away.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Yeah, yeah, we have some comments about how
norbert's doing and the answeris we don't know.
I did go down and check thechips, like the trail cam
footage, and there's nothing.
There's just one had a coyotepassing through, which is pretty
normal for our area, so nothing.
Um, we'll just have to wait andsee.
There was a cold snap last year, uh, and we didn't see norbert
(39:20):
until the cold snap stopped andthat's when he bit out of the
ice and tried to get more trees.
But this last year norbert dida way better job of gathering
food and I don't know how deephis den is into the side of the
creek.
It could be way bigger.
So maybe Norbert doesn't evenneed to come out until it's
summer, until the creek melts.
(39:41):
I don't know, but the longstory long answer is we don't
know.
We're not sure about Norbert.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
We hope he's doing well.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
And there's two more comments here on Twitter.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
Okay, go for it.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
Dawn says that Sadie is very protective.
If she's on the other sofa andMichael sits down next to Dawn,
sadie will immediately come overand gets in between them.
And then another person, fefti,said that they went to a
behavior specialist because sheor Thefty, I don't know, it's
(40:15):
Plefty, poncho.
Pancho had the same issues anda behavior therapist was called,
helped so much and trainedThefty on how to manage the
behaviors, but the dog is notcured.
Plefty just knows what to dowhen pancho goes off, and that's
(40:36):
part of it too.
Right, recognizing the cueswith your dog, yeah, before it
gets gets too much.
Because beaker, being a covidpuppy, got very resource
protective and so we definitelywent to training with her and
it's better, but I think shestill has that.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
It's um, she sometimes doesn't like mernoulli
.
She tells him off and sometimesmernoulli's doing nothing, he's
just like standing theresmiling, he's low and then
beakers what?
And then she let.
She just does that at him andmernoulli's oh, I don't know
what I did, I'm a meathead.
His whole life is.
(41:18):
He doesn't understand whyanybody could be mad at him.
I think, like today at Wagglesthere was a dog that was lying
down and I guess when the doglies down it gets snippy.
And Bernoulli's like, oh, hello, lying down.
And the dog was like, andBernoulli's oh boy, okay, he
just went away.
He's like whoops, sorry, yeahyeah okay.
(41:40):
question from tales of twocities large breed mom gp.
What would gp stand for?
Large breed mom gp, greatpyrenees, great Pyrenees, great
Pyrenees yeah, when should I getthem fixed?
Okay, I don't really want toanswer that question because
we're not vets, so that'ssomething I would talk to your
own vet about.
And then there's some I canjust talk about the research.
(42:03):
The research is pointingtowards large breed dogs
generally waiting longer to beneutered.
We waited, we were going towait until two years and then
that felt like an eternity, withhim not being able to go see
his friends.
So that's why we went with avasectomy.
But that's a discussion for,like you, to talk to your vet
(42:26):
about, obviously, hey, you gotthe strobe light city yeah
there's another one going tlsnyco5.
What does beaker resource guard?
Speaker 2 (42:36):
it's you, chris, and like toys or food sometimes, but
not as bad, but that's no, notas bad with the, the toys or the
food, but it's me and it'sbecause we hung out every day
when we were at home.
I was teaching from home andshe's okay.
But if I'm nice to another dog,that sends her to the moon.
(42:56):
So if I am in town with her andI see another dog, I'm like I'm
so sorry I cannot say hello toyour dog.
I can't be nice to your dog.
No beaker gets jealous she does,she gets jealous, yeah, and I
just don't want to set her offyep, she is very cute.
Speaker 1 (43:16):
She was so happy today because we went the long.
We went for a long ski andthere's like, uh, we take a
corner and go down the hill,that's the short way and then we
can keep going further on theproperty and that's the medium
way and then there's anotherturn and then as soon as I went
that way, she's oh my god, it'shappening, we're going the long
way.
And then there's another turnand then as soon as I went that
way, she's oh my god, it'shappening, we're going the long
way.
Because we haven't done thatfor since bernoulli.
(43:39):
We got bernoulli because whenbernoulli was a little one, we
never went very far with him.
Um, we're exhausted.
All of our speakers looks likenobody else is requesting to
come up, so I think we should doa wrap-up.
Should we do our own draw?
I didn't get a hold of ournormal sponsor this week.
Speaker 2 (43:57):
Yeah, we can.
Speaker 1 (43:58):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (44:00):
But make sure, if you win, you have to DM us.
Yeah, so we can send you yourprize.
Speaker 1 (44:05):
Right, okay.
Speaker 2 (44:06):
Sometimes I think people forget.
Speaker 1 (44:08):
Yeah, one more.
One more question.
Somebody's asking will we get afourth dog?
We actually had a seriousdiscussion about it and we came
to the conclusion that, withbunsen's health, it's not
something that's fair to him beeither get a rescue or a puppy.
It's not fair to him.
Speaker 2 (44:28):
Right now he needs our attention and he needs no I
I pretty much had reached out toanother place and started not
started conversation, butdefinitely was like my ears were
definitely perked up about itand I was thinking about it and
I got some pictures on and onand then then bunsen went for
(44:50):
his mri and it's just no, it'snot the right time for us and I
don't even think this summereven just we need to give bunsen
enough time yeah, to be fullyhealed, yeah, so next summer is
what we would look for.
Yeah, because I didn't reallywant to get a puppy, like when
it's minus 40 and take them tothe bathroom.
Speaker 1 (45:13):
Oh, you would take them to the bathroom.
Okay, I don't think so.
I think I would be taking thepuppy to the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (45:19):
Okay, hello world.
Jason is amazing.
He knows how much I don't likegoing outside when it's super
cold, and he definitely did thatduty for the last couple of
weeks, so for that I'm eternallygrateful but, it doesn't mean
that I don't do it.
Speaker 1 (45:35):
No.
Speaker 2 (45:35):
Jason, you did go to Calgary.
You left me for like overnight.
And so who's going to do it?
Then I, it was me.
Speaker 1 (45:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (45:42):
Like, I do step up and I do it.
Speaker 1 (45:45):
I think I'm very appreciative.
Speaker 2 (45:53):
I think you just hook all the leashes together in a
giant long leash, though, chris,I can't not with Benson the way
he is.
I really had to finagle themand get them in good places, and
then I may or may not have putGinger in the bathroom so she
didn't escape.
These are things that Iwouldn't want to have her escape
while I'm on my watch, but it'slike corralling all of them and
we moved.
If you're on live, you can seeour coat hanger.
(46:16):
It used to be by the other doorand then or by the turret room,
which then we couldn't get inwith the dogs.
It's nightmare.
So we just need to not havesuper winter coats, super
survival suits yeah can thewinter be over please?
Speaker 1 (46:29):
yeah, because we those are like full-on hazmat
suits that we wear when it'sreally cold they're.
They're large pieces ofclothing yeah, they're like
think of a hazmat suit that'sfluffy, it's like an astronaut
suit, basically without thehelmet basically without the
helmet, yeah, but it has a hoodyeah, but when you wear it
they're rated for minus 57 orsomething like I read no minus
(46:50):
30 only I was toasty, I was snugas a bug and a rug and that
thing.
When it was minus 45.
The only thing that was coldwas my face.
They, they're right.
Like it could be.
You could walk around thearctic and then things I bet
somebody said I got a somebodysaid I got a puppy in december.
(47:12):
Never again, so yeah no, not agood time it would be imagine
how cute a baby bernice would bein the snow, though like how
fun that would be that would beamazing yeah, I would do that,
but we're I may or may not havewatched like 10 bernice mountain
dog puppies running through thesnow.
Speaker 2 (47:30):
I know there's.
I may or may not have watchedlike 10 Bernese Mountain Dog
puppies running through the snow.
I know there's so many.
I may or may not have watchedthat on repeat.
Speaker 1 (47:35):
Yeah, not only the little panda bears, but they're
also covered in snow.
All right, that's the end ofthe show.
We'll see everybody next week,take care.
Speaker 2 (47:44):
Thanks for coming.

today for wagon play?
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Sure, you can talk about.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
you could talk about Bernoulli, yeah sure, bernoulli
has a Bernoulli cam right thereand he is such a good boy.
We took him today to go towaggles, for wagon play, and he
had such a great time hangingout with his friends.
Additionally, we had to go totown, and so going to town is
sometimes more than one stop.
(01:14):
So, jason's, I want to getgroceries.
And I said, okay, that'sawesome.
So we've stopped in the parkinglot, and then I said I'll just
stay in the car with Bernoulliand he's like, really Like that
he had to go shopping by himself, but what I did is, in the same
parking lot there is a storecalled Bone and Biscuit where we
went today, and he was able toget a Popsicle, oh no, a
(01:39):
Puppuccino.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Yeah.
And so that was really.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Yeah, it was really fun that he got a puppuccino
today and then I just wanted himto have interactions with more
people.
So he did he had interactionswith people.
I actually was looking at maybea new color for him because
he's so big, he's outgrown allof his things.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Yeah, we need a bigger.
You're laughing.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Jason, but it's true.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
And he is enormous.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
And then what?
Oh?
And then I walked him aroundthe parking lot and then we sat
outside save on foods, and thenwe got into the car so he got
some interaction with people.
And then we took him to wagglesand he got to run around and
play with all his other littlefriends, and he got to play with
adults there too that werehanging out with their dogs.
(02:25):
So it was a really greatafternoon.
Everybody had a wonderful time.
No issues.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Yeah, he plays really well with the other dogs and
what I like is when he's sick ofthe dogs he sees the people.
He just goes from person toperson and of course generally
he is very opportunistic, sohe'll seek out the people that
have given him treats in thepast, so he likes those people
the most.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
I wonder why.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
I wonder why we got a nice comment from Brent.
He says he's watching fromOttawa and he overcame his big
fear of dogs this week when hewas helping train the guide dogs
for blind people.
So that's very cool.
Susan is asking chris, Ithought bernoulli ate the tim
beebs hat, and then you havelots of comments about loving
(03:10):
your tim beebs hat okay, so Idecided to wear my tim beebs hat
, so I was a little bit.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I misspoke.
He only shredded the wrapper ofthe tim bieber.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Justin bieber, tim horton's what compilation or,
and they smushed like tim bieberwith tim yeah, tim bits horton,
yeah, tim bits.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
So justin bieber, tim hortons, anyway.
No, I, bernoulli, okay, I'mgonna.
I'm gonna tell the truth here.
I may or may not have boughtabout three or four tim biebs
hats, because I lose toques likethey're going out of style, and
so I wanted to make sure that Ihad enough of these toques when
they were available, and so Ibought lots plural, more than
(03:56):
one and but Bernoulli only gotinto the wrapper, which he also
OK, this is funny.
I gave Jason's hey, do you haveany shopping bags in your
classroom?
Of course I do.
I have these like bags that webuy Anyway.
So I gave Jason them and therewas two, precious two plastic
(04:16):
bags, because we've said no toplastic bags here in Canada and
we have a whole little sock fullof them and I'm like here you,
you go and you get these twoplastic bags bonus deal.
No, they do not exist anymorebecause bernoulli went into the
bags, the bag of bags, and heroinked them out and then
(04:38):
destroyed them in about ananosecond.
So that's what he did with thewrapper, or the plastic that was
on my Tim Biebs.
I call it Biebs because it'sjust a funny thing.
If Adam were here, he makesthis really funny thing, but
it's Tim Biebs hat, and so thewrapper Bernoulli disintegrated,
because that's what he does.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah, his math teacher in French immersion had
a deep voice and an accent.
His math teacher in Frenchimmersion had a deep voice and
an accent and that he would sayTim Biebs and Adam is very good
at impersonating everybody'svoice.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yeah, he's so freakishly good at
impersonations.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Yeah, he's quite good .
He is right up there with thenumber of voices that what's his
face from Family Guy can do.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Seth MacFarlane.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Seth MacFarlane yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
That's funny, I'm funny.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Yeah, all right.
So, yeah, do Seth McFarlane.
Seth McFarlane yeah, that'sfunny, I'm funny.
Yeah, all right, so yeah.
So there's, that's the wholestory about the Tim Biebs hat.
I'm just checking through thechat.
I think we'll do a little bitbetter job of answering some of
the comments rather than lettingthem sit, because if you have
to wait 20 minutes to have yourquestion or comment answered,
that's a pain in the butt.
So, yeah, there's just peopleare just saying where they're
from, just double checking that.
We did have a question ontwitter about sun dogs and we
(05:51):
get them when it has to be abright, sunny day, so no clouds
in the sky, and it also has tobe generally very cold.
I don't think I've ever seen asun dog when it's been minus
below minus 20.
Like, it has to be like reallycold for us and then, as it gets
colder, sparkling in the sky.
(06:12):
We're just used to it, but itmust be weird to people when it
gets that cold and that's theice crystals that formed.
It's just fly through the sky,they sparkle, and when that
happens really high up in theatmosphere, they refract the
sunlight into basically falsesuns all around the sun and
sometimes they make a perfectcircle with points of light,
(06:34):
like where you would think across is, uh, like the points of
a cross, or just left and rightof the sun, um, and it's really
cool when it's a perfect circle, and it was that.
Twice this week I saw theperfect circle and I got video
of it one time.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
So and annalise had actually never seen it before.
She probably had seen it, butshe never took note of it, and
she's.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
That is so cool it is cool, it's like it's very cool
yeah but you also have to havethe right angle to the sun.
So you saw it in town and Ididn't see it at home.
You were in town and I was notteaching this week, so I was, I
went out to look and it was veryweak.
So it really depends on yourangle to the sun too.
Oh, another good question fromMadison about the, the boiling
(07:19):
water fireworks that I do.
How cold does it have to be?
So the colder the better.
Minus 25 Celsius and whateverthat is in Fahrenheit you'll
have to convert it.
That's really loud, bernoulli.
Minus 25 is about the cutoffthat I would do it at, because
if it's not cold enough and youchuck boiling water into the air
(07:40):
, it'll come back down on youand you'll hurt yourself.
You'll just get covered withboiling water, and the water has
to be really hot.
So what I do is, instead ofusing a kettle, I actually want
the water hotter than what akettle can produce.
So I boil the water in a potand then I put it into travel
mugs or like a big craft, andthen the travel mug holds a
(08:03):
small amount of water.
I've seen people do it with awhole big pot and I think that's
dangerous.
That's what I used to do.
But then I'm like this isdangerous, like throwing that
much water in there, so a littleContigo or travel mug, and then
I arc it.
So I just had practice to get abetter.
So I throw it and swing my armin an arc and then, yeah, it
(08:25):
gets that fancy beautifulboiling water to steam and snow.
And then the snow rains down onyou and it turns to steam.
But if it's minus 35 for us andcolder, you get the you.
It's amazing.
It goes from being oh, that'scool to being like wow, big
(08:45):
difference from minus 25 tominus 35.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yeah, and I wouldn't even recommend minus 25.
I would say minus 35 is thestart.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yeah, and I would practice chucking it in front of
you, right, because I know Icheck the temperature before I
do it, so I know that if I chuckit above my head I'm not going
to get scalded.
People have been seriouslyburned doing that when it hasn't
.
I've seen it on tiktok.
It was like people were doingit in different parts of the
(09:15):
state states when it got coldand it was like minus two and
I'm like, oh god, that isnowhere near the temperature
required.
It might be cold for youbecause you've never felt that
cold before, but it's got to belike really cold to get that.
That kind of fancy thing.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Like when you go outside and your lungs just
seize up that cold.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
You go like that is how cold it has to be.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Another fun comment.
Betsy says I've got the zerodays since last ginger mauling
mug.
Thank you for buying stuff fromour store.
Yeah, we had our cartoonistdraw that up and it's adorable.
That's actually my cell phonecase.
That the oh, this is the oh.
No, it's on the bernoulli camcell phone case, has it?
It's the illustration there.
So thanks, betsy.
Do I have a story this week?
(10:04):
I don't know what I should talkabout.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Bunsen continues to get a little better you went
cross-country skiing today withthe dog I did.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Yeah, so that was it has been since before christmas
I was able to go skiing like forone.
Bernoulli was recovering fromhis vasectomy so he was on rest
and it was cold like it's beenlike ridiculously cold and then
dark.
So when I get home from workit's pitch black.
I'm not ski through the darkwith the dogs, so there's a
(10:35):
couple things that have to goright for me to be able to go
skiing, and january's awrite-off, because january is
usually freaking cold and it wasunseasonably cold in february.
So we've had a really coldcouple two months and it was
beautiful.
It was so hot.
Today I was sweating through mytoque.
Yeah, it was awesome.
Taking the dogs, I loved it.
They are probably bernoulli.
(10:57):
Looks like he's got a lot ofenergy but he's cooked.
We went for a good 45 minutesor maybe more on a big ski.
Yeah, yeah, that was fun.
There'll be some video of it.
You took some video of meskiing.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I did, I did.
I'm just like content queenhere Anytime I see, get some
content.
But okay, I had a wonderfulmoment with Bunsen.
It's going to make me a littlebit verklempt, like that when
you get that caught in yourthroat and your eyes water, and
it's like that.
Me a little bit verklempt likethat when you're get that caught
in your throat and your eyeswater and it's like that that
there's a word for that it'sverklempt and so you went away
(11:32):
and bunsen's been very sad thathe's been left behind, but he
can't go with being on rest theway he is he.
There's no way that he can godown by the creek and go like
that, but he'd wreck himselflike he oh yeah, he would do it
no, we're not doing that yeah,but that would he would wreck
himself yeah yeah, no, so we'renot interested in having him
wreck himself.
But so I went out and I did thebird feeders, because we've got
(11:56):
the little chickadees comingout they woke up from torpor,
yep yep, and so on the deckthere was a pile of snow and it
was soft.
And I brought bunsen out to thedeck with me and he was so happy
.
He was tunneling through thesnow and just laying in it and
(12:19):
being so happy with me on thedeck.
And so instead of going insideafter doing the birds, the bird
feeders, I just sat out therewith him and he just got to be
himself in the snow yeah, that'sbeen tough to leave him behind
on adventures but, like, really,he's been out of the winter
(12:40):
since november since we noticedhis gates changing.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
He's really been on rest since then, strict rest
since his MRI of his bulge discand I just wanted to, I didn't
mean to correct you there, chris, he can walk.
It's not like he can't walk atall, he's just on rest to heal.
Yeah, and we think I don'tthink I know he's getting better
, his gait is getting better,he's stronger, everything is
(13:05):
improving but it's very slow.
There's we've we got a couplemessages from people who their
dog has had something similarand the advice to them was much
the same rest and see and it waslike two months for most dogs
without and they rested for twomonths and they did not need
surgery.
And there's still a couplethings they're not allowed to do
anymore jump off the bed, bedor and run down the stairs.
So they got his ramp.
(13:26):
But yeah, that was good to hearfrom a couple of people who
have been in a similar situationto us.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I didn't think I sounded like he couldn't go.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Sorry, chris, I didn't mean it that way.
I just meant that I didn't wantto make people really honestly
can't go.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Yeah because otherwise he would hurt himself.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Because there's hills and the whole idea is that he
would be jumping onto, like hischest and shoving up into his
neck, which, no, no.
But the good news is like Ibought that ramp when we had the
alien baby taken out of him andthey said, hey, you should get
a ramp, and so I did, and then Iput it away because we didn't
(14:06):
need the ramp anymore.
What Brought it back out and heuses the ramp.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
So that was a good purchase.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Yeah, it was.
He did not want to use the rampto start with and now he's fine
with it.
So it's just, it just takes,just, takes practice.
Oh hey, somebody has a commentabout how we heat our homes so
we don't freeze to death.
That's a great question fromPat Natural gas.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Natural gas yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Alberta is situated really on where the Bear Paw Sea
was.
Millions of years ago, bear PawSea dried up and tectonic
plates pushed things together,so that's how there's land here
now and all the little seacritters and algae and
what's-its that were in the sea.
They got covered up and becameoil and gas.
(14:51):
Also the forests and the fernsand the swamps that surrounded
the Bear Paw Sea.
They died and got covered upand that became coal.
So Alberta has huge deposits ofcoal, oil and natural gas, and
the one thing that we have inabundance like the stores of it,
basically infinite is coal bedmethane is what it's called.
(15:15):
So as the coal compacts anddecays, it releases trapped
gases, which is methane, andwhen I worked in the oil patch
in between teaching certificatesthat was known we called
methane sweet gas because sourgas would kill you.
So we were always worried aboutsour gas was not something that
(15:46):
was commercially used, becauseAlberta would heat.
Their most homes were heatedwith electric heaters, like
electric air blowers, and thenthere was a big change to
natural gas.
So, yeah, we have a natural gasis piped into our house and our
furnace burns it and thenthat's wicked outside.
The fumes are wicked outsideand then the hot air is blown
around our house.
(16:07):
Is that too much of a sciencetalk there, chris?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
No, that was good, that was beautiful.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Yeah, wasn't that long ago a lot of people in
Alberta used coal like burntcoal to heat their house.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
We live on the road called the Coal Trail.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
And so they would travel the road that we live on,
like my grandpa would, in hishorse and carriage, to go get
more coal to worm the house.
Now the original farmhouseisn't here, but the one built in
1918 is, and so he would havegone to get coal for that house.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Is there much coal mining?
Not anymore, no.
So the coal that Alberta has isthere's three or four different
qualifications of coal or liketypes of coal, and we have it's
called sub bitumous or shalecoal, and it was really.
It's really only good to heatyour home with.
(17:09):
It's not the stuff that youwould make steel.
So that fell apart when peopledidn't need to heat their, when
people didn't need to heat theirhomes with coal anymore, that
all the coal mines in albertastopped.
So that was the end of that.
But we still used coal forelectricity.
When I was a kid that's whereall of our electricity came from
(17:29):
was coal plants that wereburning coal, thermoelectric
plants, and now they've switchedto natural gas, so burns with
less particulate.
Obviously it still createsgreenhouse gases, but that's
what Alberta uses, just becauseit's so plentiful.
All right, chris, I'm going tomove the camera upstairs, so are
(17:51):
you okay bringing some folks upor holding the fork down while
I take the camera upstairs?
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Yes, absolutely.
Are there any more stories thatyou would like me to share this
week?
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Anything you want to talk about.
You can talk more about yourhat, because people want to know
more about it, or you can thinkabout some stories of the week
or bring folks up on audio.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
But I'm gonna peace out and bring bernoulli upstairs
okay, so did we say a word fromour sponsor we, you could talk
about them.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
We have no prize yet from them.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
We could do our own prize later sure I'm not going
to talk about that because Idon't have access to the
roadcaster to make sound, tomake the music.
Jason makes all the magichappen in his little tech room
there, but I would like to resetthe room.
So tonight we are hosting ashow.
It's called Pet Chat and itsays come talk pets.
(18:43):
That's the name of the show andthat's what we do here.
We share our stories of theweek with Bunsen, beaker and
Bernoulli and Ginger, and thenwe open up the floor to speakers
who would like to speak.
Now the only participants thatcan speak aloud are the ones on
audio, which is X audio, andJason already explained that it
(19:08):
magically, just is magical.
It goes through his roadcasterto be multicasted across the
different social media platforms.
So if, at this time, if there'sanybody who would like to come
on up to speak, I will vet you.
Usually, if there's someone whowe've had lots of times before,
then it's a-okay.
(19:29):
But Jason and I were talkingthis morning about hey, it's
been a long time since we've hadinappropriates come up or asked
to come up.
That hasn't.
That was been great.
So I'm maybe there's just lessof them and Jason's like oh, I
think we just do a good job ofJason's doing the camera.
I don't know If you're watching.
That's what's happening.
(19:49):
It looks like the Blair WitchProject.
If you're watching on the audioor on the live.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
That's the best I got , Chris.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
I love it.
It's perfect.
It's perfecto, okay.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
I just got to close the doors now.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Where are you?
The Renewal Cam went away.
Close the doors.
Now where are you?
The Bernoulli cam went away.
He turned off the audio to itanyway, so no one has requested
to come up to speak, so I'lljust share.
I'm in Adam's room.
Jason is 3d printing and it'smaking a sound.
(20:30):
So I thought, hey, I'm justgoing to go into Adam's room so
you can see the different decor.
He has these twinkle lights.
Twinkly lights.
They're really cool.
They're like three bit or likeMinecraft, they're 12 bit, I
don't know.
I don't know the tech term,jason will.
And so here I am in Adam's room.
(20:51):
He wants to make sure.
I don't know how to get ontohis computer, but I know how to
get onto his laptop, but I don'tknow how to get onto his
computer.
Computer he's.
You know the password.
No, I don't.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
All right, I've set up the Bernoulli cam.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Up there.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
So I've just been sharing my location live on
location from Adam's room.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
All right.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
And yeah, because no one is.
Oh, there's one request now.
I request to speak.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Yeah, I've moved Paula up.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Oh, great, thank you.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
All right, so we're going to bring in some speakers.
I don't really have anythingelse to share.
It was a pretty low key weekfor me.
Maybe have something at the end, I don't know, but we're share.
It was a pretty low-key weekfor me.
Maybe have something at the end, I don't know.
Uh, but we're gonna bring upfolks who want to share their
pet stories or ask questions andI'll be checking the different.
I'll be checking the differentsites for comments and questions
and we'll be getting to those.
So you'll hear a couple peopleon audio right now who are on
(21:46):
spaces, which is on twitter or x.
All right, so we'll go to Paulaand then we'll pop back and
forth.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Hi everybody, How's everybody doing?
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Good Hi Paula.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
Hi, we loved all your content this week because you
were way colder than us and wewere still cold, it's relative
it was way colder in Canada, Iknow, and it was weird because
we had so much ice that thelawns look like cupcakes.
Like the roofs are still gotsnow in it.
It's ice.
It looks like a glazed donuteverywhere.
It's really crazy.
But today it started just alittle bit warming up so it's
(22:21):
starting to melt.
But it melts weird because theice is so hard on the top that
it actually makes like theseskeleton meltings on the bottom.
It's really weird and you cansee it's like fingers holding up
the ice, but anyway.
But we had a kind of excitingweek this week.
It was Trixie's second birthday.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Oh, congrats On.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
Thursday.
I almost forgot it because Iwas really sick with vertigo.
Oh no, oh yeah, Happy birthday.
But we managed to get her inher little birthday hat.
She sometimes likes to getdressed and then sometimes she
doesn't like to get dressed.
So we threw it on anyway and wesaid OK, you're going to get a
(23:02):
little birthday picture.
So we, we celebrated that wayand it was a real quick day
because, like I said, I hadspent most of the day in bed.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Oh no, Sorry to hear that, Paula.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
Oh man, thanks, I'll tell you that's no, if anybody's
been through vertigo, it's likeDorothy and Wizard of Oz had
nothing on me and it's like thebed was spinning at full tilt.
It was like, oh, but then myhusband, thank goodness, had
some medicine, so he's like here, take this, and I'm like, okay,
and it halved it, so it wasgreat, so I could do stuff
(23:36):
during the latter part of theday, so that really helped out,
but anyway, but Trixie had herbig day and I can't believe it's
two.
She's two already, because sheis a terrible two.
I love that dog, but she isfunny, so we're just can't
believe how fast time flies.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Yeah, it goes by quickly.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Yeah, it sure does.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Yeah, Bernoulli's in his terrible twos, and by that
terrible 10 months.
The disadvantage of where I putthe camera, Chris, is we don't
know what Bernoulli's doing.
He is off camera right nowgoing rogue.
He could be taking things offthe counters, but all we see is
Beaker's butt and Bunsen's head.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
So no, but every other time I can't see him
either.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Oh, we can see when he sneaks things though.
So yeah, we know about theterrible twos.
Paula, not that Bernoulli isterrible, he's just a puppy.
He's a good boy.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
No, he's still a puppy, he's okay.
He's still in that.
Actually, so is Trixie, becauseI guess most dogs are puppy
till they're age two.
So I can see her kind of beinga little bit more mature.
She doesn't do crazy thingslike she used to, but I still
got to keep an eye on her causeshe'll get in trouble, Trixie
(24:55):
trouble.
But hey, we love her and she'sgot some issues but we're going
to hopefully get them ironed out.
We're going to.
We're actually going to go seea dog behaviorist because she's
been really guarding my husbandover me.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
So it okay.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Oh yeah, so it can come and go, which is weird.
I don't know if anybody's gotany experience with this type.
I've never experienced this inmy whole life.
Usually dogs when you own them,they see you kind of as equals.
They'll fade for one more, youknow, by following them and all
that stuff.
But this time around she lovesmy husband and she loves me,
(25:31):
because if I'm away dog sittingshe'll come and greet me like
she never saw me before.
And then there's other timesthat if I come downstairs, say
taking a shower, and you comedownstairs and she's sitting on
the couch with her husband, shegives me this look like, don't
you dare come near him, and it'sOK, oh gosh.
So it's been a little challengebut, like I said, we're going
to hopefully work on some ofthese issues and see what we can
(25:53):
do to iron them out the one Iremember and I'm not a dog
trainer that I'm just going offof what folks we've spoken to on
the podcast have suggested.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
With little dogs that that do that like they is, try
not to let them feel that theyare the like the queen or the
princess by being held by theperson they're resource guarding
all the time like that personshould give them the cold
shoulder a bit oh, yes, he doesthat okay, he totally puts his
(26:24):
back to her and yeah, and he'lljust say go in your crate, and
she'll go in there yeah, andthen she pouts for half an hour
and then oh no, oh no
Speaker 4 (26:34):
gosh, she pouts and I should take video of this
because people probably thinkI've been drinking something.
But it's like she has thisdifferent expression on her face
and then and then she'll comeout of the crate and she slinks
to me, like, like she didsomething bad.
I didn't say anything.
She's just slinking toward meand then she'll put her head in
my chest and like go, okay, I'msorry.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
It's been a rodeo.
Keep checking the comments andsee if people say anything.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
Oh, that would be great.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Like I said.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
if someone's been through this, I would like a
little piece of advice becauseit's really been a time.
But anyway, thank you very muchand, like I said, I'll put the
little picture.
If I can find my post, I'll putit up in the nest for you for
Trixie's birthday.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Okay, sounds good, paula.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
Okay, take care, gary , buddy, have a good week.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
I'll bet you, speaking of Queens Ginger made
an appearance and Chris pickedher up just as I was saying that
and people thought that washilarious.
So we got some comments saying,speaking of queens, there's
Queen Ginger.
Somebody asked about Bunsen'srecovery.
Just real quick, that's bad guy.
Rudy Bunsen's recovery is goinggood, very slow, but he is
(27:45):
improving.
Like his gait is getting betterand he's not slipping as much
and if you're watching live he'slike right near the camera just
laying down right there.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
That's his favorite trick.
Yeah, lie down, lie down.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Yeah, exactly yeah.
No more questions, some nice.
I'll read one comment and thenwe'll go to our next speaker,
which is Jen.
Somebody just got to go back up.
There's a lot of as people joinon Instagram.
It tells me they've joined, soit's just like most of it is
notifications of people joining.
Rod Rod says I just want to sayenjoy your channel, thank you.
I have three burners in my lifeand seeing yours is very fun.
(28:21):
Aw, that's cute.
Thank you, okay.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
We'll go to Jen.
Hi, Jen how are you?
Okay, we'll go to Jen.
Hi Jen how are you?
Speaker 3 (28:30):
I'm okay, how are you doing?
While Sorry about that, butjust want to echo that this is
still my favorite ex person yourgroup and so to speak and I'm
glad you guys are still doing awholesome family-friendly pet
chat.
So thanks for doing that and Ithink that's really important
that you keep doing that.
So that's first thing.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
I'll just wait till we start trying to hawk what we
got coming forward here, somecryptocurrency, jen?
No, I'm just teasing.
We'll fit right in with 99% ofthe other spaces here on Twitter
.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
I know, yeah, anyway, I wouldn't blame you for doing
it.
But no, that's as long as itall went to charity.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
It's all a scam, it's all.
It makes no sense to me, butanyway, no, it doesn't.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
I 100% agree.
Anyway, I wanted to say hi toeveryone, hi to both you and
Paula, and thanks for the postson the weather.
Being from Saskatchewan, it'sreally funny, right, right,
because it was so cold here,yeah, and of course we love to
brag that we were the coldestplace in canada or the world for
(29:36):
two days?
yes, yeah, and then I saw yourpost that it went from whatever
to plus three and I was warningeveryone and they're like no,
that's not going to happen.
And I'm like no, he's ascientist and it's going to
happen.
And it did and it was prettyfunny and and I I'm a cat person
I love seeing the videos of thedoggies, but especially ginger
(29:56):
and like, how did like.
How did she do in this?
Did she want to go out as soonas it got hot?
Speaker 1 (30:02):
she wanted to go out when it was minus 40.
She was insane, yeah.
So she got out a bunch of timesbecause I was not to get too
much into it.
Chris had to work this week acouple of days and I had a
couple of days off and I usedthose that opportunity to do
some spring cleaning, which isgetting rid of some of Chris's
(30:22):
clutter.
Ginger got out a whole bunch oftimes and every time she got
out it's like she forgot howcold it was and she wanted right
back in.
I'd let her just mill about.
She went under the stairs,cause she likes to go under
there, and then 10 seconds latershe's like holy heck, what is
this?
And she like slunk back intothe door.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Oh, that's funny.
Do you guys have a cat doorthat she can come in and out of?
Speaker 1 (30:49):
No, we have a catio and it's warm enough for her to
go in the catio now.
So I think we'll put her in thecatio tomorrow for a bit.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
She loves it.
Oh, that's nice.
Anyway, thanks for the postswith the weather again and stuff
like that.
I posted a reply on a sun dogand you're right, we take this
for granted, right?
We had sun dogs here insaskatoon for three days and I'm
like, nah, I'm not takinganother picture.
I know what happened again nextyear, but it's really amazing,
(31:20):
right, when you see that sort ofstuff.
Anyway, I just wanted to hi ateveryone and hope you're all
doing well and thanks againthanks, jen, like it.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
The northern lights was like that.
There was a stretch where Ididn't look for them and I would
get notifications on my phone.
I'm like man.
I regret that there was like agood stretch of eight, seven to
eight years where they would behappening and I would be like
nah.
And now every time I go outside, I go, I make a point of going
(31:48):
outside at night, every day,every night, and then I look up
for them yeah, I agree.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Even there was one here in saskatoon where the it
looks like the sun dog had a sundog, if that makes sense oh
yeah yeah, and I was like stopand take a picture and I was
like now and I'm like I'm notdoing that again.
You know we have to appreciatethis stuff, but I'm glad it's
not just me, makes you feel abit better.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
So thanks, jen.
Hey, paula, we have somebody,uh, nancy front, who's watching
on facebook.
So she says it mostly takestime and the person being
guarded can't allow it, praiseit, ignore it.
So that's like echoing what thetrainer said, and obviously you
said your husband's doing that,but that's just a comment from
(32:32):
facebook for you okay, thanks,tell him.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
Thank you so much perfect, thanks, nancy.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
I'll just quickly check.
Oh so somebody's asking aboutthe catio in the winter.
Now this it's interesting.
She could be in her catio inthe winter because it's
insulated and it's got.
You got it with some kind ofheat lamp, chris.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Okay.
So yes, technically we coulduse it in the winter.
But I gave Gord the heat lampsfor the chickens.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
So he has been raising chickens from the
chickens that we have.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
And he was like, oh, I need a heat lamp.
And I said Ginger has two inher catio because, okay, there's
a reason why we can't have nicethings here on lawn ornaments,
because they blow away into nextweek.
Like it's terrible.
Like even if you think, oh,this is really anchored down, no
, nothing is when those windscome.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
bye-bye snowman it's just because of where it's,
because of where our house is.
Our house sits on a bluff right.
It sits on like we have a, aravine, I don't know, like it's
a creek ravine and that windjust it creates like a tongue
links, like a circle effect asit goes down and then up, as it
blows in from the north andit'll just take it you're right,
(33:55):
chris like it'll takeeverything away which you're
very sad about every yeah, Iwish I could have like really
nice lawn ornaments, but I can't.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
But we got the catio with this insulated stuff on it
yeah but it's taking a beating,like we had to take some of it
off, so I wouldn't put ginger init in the winter yeah, even
where it's in the most protectedplace, it's still getting a
took a beating from the wind.
Um yeah even stuff that we'veattached down, like the stuff
(34:23):
that's anchored to the deck,bye-bye yeah, the weird like
hotel racky thing that for somereason you got from Facebook
marketplace.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Oh, I love that thing that I've turned into a I've
hanged bird feeders from.
That hasn't blown over becausethat thing weighs 10 million
kilograms.
That is basically made from adying neutron star.
That's how heavy that is.
That will never, ever blow away.
That's what we need to get thelawn owner ornaments made of.
Is that same kind of like?
Speaker 2 (34:53):
I don't know, it's made of animantium or something
yeah, because it doesn't matterhow much you anchor it in, you
think this is enough.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
It's not we had a tree from costco that was
beautiful.
It was like a.
It was a fake tree and everybranch had lights on it.
It looked like yeah, like littlecherry blossoms yeah, and it
looked like the tree of gondor.
If, like the white tree ofgondor, when it was at night and
I set that up in front of herhouse and it was like it looks
(35:26):
so, so good, because it justlooked like this glowing tree
and that lasted a month and thenit blew away like it blew over
and got smashed and I anchoredthat in with I've got chopsticks
here longer than this likerailway tie spikes.
No, ntm, just gone, like justdone Done.
(35:51):
It's in Oz, it's gone forever.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
Gone forever.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Yeah, this is in Pet Chat.
This is weather, so we'll go toSarah, who's on Twitter.
Go ahead, sarah.
Speaker 5 (36:03):
Hey, hi, you guys, Love you guys, love your dogs
and, of course, ginger.
I love Ginger.
Yeah, so the adoption has wentthrough for my little husky yay
she is quite a terror.
She's a little over a year,we're estimating.
Just found out that she mayhave been a mom, oh, which
(36:25):
really upsets me.
So you she gives birth and thenyou take the puppies and you
just throw her into a shelter.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Oh, wow.
Speaker 5 (36:34):
You know what I mean.
She's getting better.
But today they locked me out ofthe house so I had to go around
and unlock and go through mygarage, go through my house to
unlock everything and unlock theback door, not realizing that I
left the gate open, hi Ginger.
So she ran out the front.
Last week she ran into theneighbor's yard twice because
(36:59):
there was a missing fence post.
Got that fixed, now she's inthe front yard, but she came
right back.
I don't know, that's very Husky.
Like Huskies are like escapeartists, and don't they usually
just go?
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Some do.
Yeah, I don know.
I just it's probably dogdependent.
There.
There are probably lots ofdifferent dogs that as soon as
the doors open they have thatgood cronk and evil cronk from
emperor's new groove and one isdon't and the other one's like
run away and they just decide torun but she is doing so much
better and improving and sheneeds some training and we're
gonna get training done.
Speaker 5 (37:35):
Yay, and it's a whole process with the new puppy it's
a lot of work, even if it's amother puppy, but she's getting
along with my german shepherd,so both odin and loki, big
marvel fan over here, aregetting along.
Yay, okay, you guys have agreat time and I am interested
(37:57):
in what Paul has to talk abouttoday.
Bye.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
Thanks, sarah.
Chris, your friend Megan had aHusky right.
Was that Athena Megan?
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
Who died sadly last year.
Athena was a scape artist.
She was like classic husky,like runaway classic yeah yeah,
yeah, when they lived in, whenher and thane before they had
their little guy.
What's the little guy's nameagain?
Jacob sorry, jacob.
Yeah, so they lived in reder.
Athena got out I don't know howmany times then.
(38:33):
Yeah, it felt bad for them.
Escape artist.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
And then she had Sophie to her retriever.
Speaker 5 (38:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
And she would.
Then she got the genius idea ofclicking them together when she
went for a run with them,because Sophie listened, and
then Athena's.
Oh, I'm stuck to this goldenretriever because, sophie
listened, and then athena's.
Oh, I'm stuck to this goldenretriever can't run away.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Yeah, yeah, we have some comments about how
norbert's doing and the answeris we don't know.
I did go down and check thechips, like the trail cam
footage, and there's nothing.
There's just one had a coyotepassing through, which is pretty
normal for our area, so nothing.
Um, we'll just have to wait andsee.
There was a cold snap last year, uh, and we didn't see norbert
(39:20):
until the cold snap stopped andthat's when he bit out of the
ice and tried to get more trees.
But this last year norbert dida way better job of gathering
food and I don't know how deephis den is into the side of the
creek.
It could be way bigger.
So maybe Norbert doesn't evenneed to come out until it's
summer, until the creek melts.
(39:41):
I don't know, but the longstory long answer is we don't
know.
We're not sure about Norbert.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
We hope he's doing well.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
And there's two more comments here on Twitter.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
Okay, go for it.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
Dawn says that Sadie is very protective.
If she's on the other sofa andMichael sits down next to Dawn,
sadie will immediately come overand gets in between them.
And then another person, fefti,said that they went to a
behavior specialist because sheor Thefty, I don't know, it's
(40:15):
Plefty, poncho.
Pancho had the same issues anda behavior therapist was called,
helped so much and trainedThefty on how to manage the
behaviors, but the dog is notcured.
Plefty just knows what to dowhen pancho goes off, and that's
(40:36):
part of it too.
Right, recognizing the cueswith your dog, yeah, before it
gets gets too much.
Because beaker, being a covidpuppy, got very resource
protective and so we definitelywent to training with her and
it's better, but I think shestill has that.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
It's um, she sometimes doesn't like mernoulli
.
She tells him off and sometimesmernoulli's doing nothing, he's
just like standing theresmiling, he's low and then
beakers what?
And then she let.
She just does that at him andmernoulli's oh, I don't know
what I did, I'm a meathead.
His whole life is.
(41:18):
He doesn't understand whyanybody could be mad at him.
I think, like today at Wagglesthere was a dog that was lying
down and I guess when the doglies down it gets snippy.
And Bernoulli's like, oh, hello, lying down.
And the dog was like, andBernoulli's oh boy, okay, he
just went away.
He's like whoops, sorry, yeahyeah okay.
(41:40):
question from tales of twocities large breed mom gp.
What would gp stand for?
Large breed mom gp, greatpyrenees, great Pyrenees, great
Pyrenees yeah, when should I getthem fixed?
Okay, I don't really want toanswer that question because
we're not vets, so that'ssomething I would talk to your
own vet about.
And then there's some I canjust talk about the research.
(42:03):
The research is pointingtowards large breed dogs
generally waiting longer to beneutered.
We waited, we were going towait until two years and then
that felt like an eternity, withhim not being able to go see
his friends.
So that's why we went with avasectomy.
But that's a discussion for,like you, to talk to your vet
(42:26):
about, obviously, hey, you gotthe strobe light city yeah
there's another one going tlsnyco5.
What does beaker resource guard?
Speaker 2 (42:36):
it's you, chris, and like toys or food sometimes, but
not as bad, but that's no, notas bad with the, the toys or the
food, but it's me and it'sbecause we hung out every day
when we were at home.
I was teaching from home andshe's okay.
But if I'm nice to another dog,that sends her to the moon.
(42:56):
So if I am in town with her andI see another dog, I'm like I'm
so sorry I cannot say hello toyour dog.
I can't be nice to your dog.
No beaker gets jealous she does,she gets jealous, yeah, and I
just don't want to set her offyep, she is very cute.
Speaker 1 (43:16):
She was so happy today because we went the long.
We went for a long ski andthere's like, uh, we take a
corner and go down the hill,that's the short way and then we
can keep going further on theproperty and that's the medium
way and then there's anotherturn and then as soon as I went
that way, she's oh my god, it'shappening, we're going the long
way.
And then there's another turnand then as soon as I went that
way, she's oh my god, it'shappening, we're going the long
way.
Because we haven't done thatfor since bernoulli.
(43:39):
We got bernoulli because whenbernoulli was a little one, we
never went very far with him.
Um, we're exhausted.
All of our speakers looks likenobody else is requesting to
come up, so I think we should doa wrap-up.
Should we do our own draw?
I didn't get a hold of ournormal sponsor this week.
Speaker 2 (43:57):
Yeah, we can.
Speaker 1 (43:58):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (44:00):
But make sure, if you win, you have to DM us.
Yeah, so we can send you yourprize.
Speaker 1 (44:05):
Right, okay.
Speaker 2 (44:06):
Sometimes I think people forget.
Speaker 1 (44:08):
Yeah, one more.
One more question.
Somebody's asking will we get afourth dog?
We actually had a seriousdiscussion about it and we came
to the conclusion that, withbunsen's health, it's not
something that's fair to him beeither get a rescue or a puppy.
It's not fair to him.
Speaker 2 (44:28):
Right now he needs our attention and he needs no I
I pretty much had reached out toanother place and started not
started conversation, butdefinitely was like my ears were
definitely perked up about itand I was thinking about it and
I got some pictures on and onand then then bunsen went for
(44:50):
his mri and it's just no, it'snot the right time for us and I
don't even think this summereven just we need to give bunsen
enough time yeah, to be fullyhealed, yeah, so next summer is
what we would look for.
Yeah, because I didn't reallywant to get a puppy, like when
it's minus 40 and take them tothe bathroom.
Speaker 1 (45:13):
Oh, you would take them to the bathroom.
Okay, I don't think so.
I think I would be taking thepuppy to the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (45:19):
Okay, hello world.
Jason is amazing.
He knows how much I don't likegoing outside when it's super
cold, and he definitely did thatduty for the last couple of
weeks, so for that I'm eternallygrateful but, it doesn't mean
that I don't do it.
Speaker 1 (45:35):
No.
Speaker 2 (45:35):
Jason, you did go to Calgary.
You left me for like overnight.
And so who's going to do it?
Then I, it was me.
Speaker 1 (45:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (45:42):
Like, I do step up and I do it.
Speaker 1 (45:45):
I think I'm very appreciative.
Speaker 2 (45:53):
I think you just hook all the leashes together in a
giant long leash, though, chris,I can't not with Benson the way
he is.
I really had to finagle themand get them in good places, and
then I may or may not have putGinger in the bathroom so she
didn't escape.
These are things that Iwouldn't want to have her escape
while I'm on my watch, but it'slike corralling all of them and
we moved.
If you're on live, you can seeour coat hanger.
(46:16):
It used to be by the other doorand then or by the turret room,
which then we couldn't get inwith the dogs.
It's nightmare.
So we just need to not havesuper winter coats, super
survival suits yeah can thewinter be over please?
Speaker 1 (46:29):
yeah, because we those are like full-on hazmat
suits that we wear when it'sreally cold they're.
They're large pieces ofclothing yeah, they're like
think of a hazmat suit that'sfluffy, it's like an astronaut
suit, basically without thehelmet basically without the
helmet, yeah, but it has a hoodyeah, but when you wear it
they're rated for minus 57 orsomething like I read no minus
(46:50):
30 only I was toasty, I was snugas a bug and a rug and that
thing.
When it was minus 45.
The only thing that was coldwas my face.
They, they're right.
Like it could be.
You could walk around thearctic and then things I bet
somebody said I got a somebodysaid I got a puppy in december.
(47:12):
Never again, so yeah no, not agood time it would be imagine
how cute a baby bernice would bein the snow, though like how
fun that would be that would beamazing yeah, I would do that,
but we're I may or may not havewatched like 10 bernice mountain
dog puppies running through thesnow.
Speaker 2 (47:30):
I know there's.
I may or may not have watchedlike 10 Bernese Mountain Dog
puppies running through the snow.
I know there's so many.
I may or may not have watchedthat on repeat.
Speaker 1 (47:35):
Yeah, not only the little panda bears, but they're
also covered in snow.
All right, that's the end ofthe show.
We'll see everybody next week,take care.
Speaker 2 (47:44):
Thanks for coming.
