Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Question for you. Do you take your pet on vacation?
I asked you on Facebook, by the way, and some
of you responded. Sean says no, that's why they call
it vacation. You leave everything behind you, while Edna says
always he was a member of the family.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
And Jeane wrote yes, always, always, and that's I think
just applies to dogs, really, right, I mean you might
We were talking about a guy sailing with his cat. Ye, yeah, yeah,
And I was trying to recall in that moment, this
guy follow on Instagram who rides around He's in another

(00:40):
he's in another country, he's in Europe, and he rides
around Europe on a motorcycle with his cat.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
It's called one bike, one world.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Okay, but the cat loves it loves so maybe if
you get in on the ground floor with your cat
taking it around, it might be a vacation cat.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
But generally no.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
Well, and that sailing guy said that the cat was
actually adjusting better to the sailing life, right than he.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Yeah. Like, here's the thing we've talked about. Well, if
we went somewhere, I wonder if there's a place we
could take Frank, here's the problem. Any hotel I've ever
been in where I got stuck in a pet room.
I can't handle the way the room's right, Yeah, you
know I can't. I just like you know, I can't
handle a guy that is a dog. I can't handle

(01:20):
the dogs smell in a room where like five hundred.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
Dogs or something different when it's not your own dog's
sen Well.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yeah right, And I'm like, I'm like, we'll go somewhere.
We'd have to get a pet room, and I don't
want to stand a pet room.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Right, in theory, the first listener that you read their
comment who said that's why it's a vacation, I mean,
in theory, it sounds like fun to take them. But
he's probably right right because you just have to constantly
now think of them, worry about them. Unless you can
afford a seat for them on the plane. You don't
want to fly with you? No, no, So I.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
Mean up north, we're going up north to our house
on the lake. Yeah, yeah, I guess that. But other
than that, probably not well.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
Jay, I think for you, if you were to go
on vacation with Frank, your best bet is you're not
staying in a hotel that's a pet room. You're going
to an airbnball or a condo and you know that's
not gonna smell like dog.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
But there are questions you should ask yourself before traveling
with your pet.

Speaker 5 (02:15):
One are the accommodation's pet friendly? Two?

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Would my pet enjoy the destination? Some dogs are comfortable
in new environments, others are not.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Is the weather safe and comfortable for my pet? Especially
in the summer? Like you know, I'm clearly not going
to take your your pet down to the keys and
have the dog all sweat. If it's a dog that's
used to colder weather. Can I bring everything they need
to keep them safe and happy away from home?

Speaker 5 (02:40):
The comforts because a dog, it's still a dog or
a cat or whatever.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
And finally, is there access to vet care the same weather,
it be access to a hospital if you got sick,
or a doctor. So think of those things when bringing
your pet on vacation.

Speaker 4 (02:52):
I do think about people like I think it makes
sense to take an animal camping with you. I mean
that's fine like that, Yeah, but if it's like ninety
five degrees outside and you're in a tent, that's not
going to be very comfortable for them.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
It's not for you. It's not for them.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
When I watch YouTube videos of these people that are
out there, like, yeah, camping in Alaska and stuff like that.

Speaker 5 (03:13):
Some of them have pets with them, and the dog
always seems so happy.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
Camping in Alaska.

Speaker 5 (03:17):
Oh yeah, they build a fire, camp it through a storm.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
They build an igloo. Oh there's camping in Alaska.

Speaker 5 (03:23):
There's camping in Alaska. Yes.

Speaker 4 (03:24):
Do you know how many untouched forests there are in Alaska?
You know?

Speaker 2 (03:27):
Actually I should know that for the nineteen Alaska shows
Warren watches on Discovery or History.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
Right, but we'll give you a plot of land for free,
go toil or what is it? What do you do
to soil?

Speaker 5 (03:41):
Like you toil it?

Speaker 3 (03:42):
I don't think you toil it.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
But he was telling me one of these shows that
he watches. He's like, they give people free land because
they want you to go you know in these.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
Yeah, and build it up. Yeah, and it's a really
really sad, miserable existence. I always think you can have
your freeland.

Speaker 5 (04:01):
This would be great. Drab legs every day.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
I mean I feel like after a week you're like, well,
I'm done with Craft and I'm done with Simon, all right,
