Wake up to the whimsy of winter pet parenting with Bunsen and Beaker's snowy shenanigans! Our latest episode is a cozy quilt of tales woven from the fabric of frolicsome dog walks and the hilarity of pets outfitted in snow boots. From Bunsen's selective walking strikes to Beaker's snow pants escapades, we share the laughter and challenges that come with keeping our four-legged friends both active and cozy during the chillier months. And yes, we cover the messy aftermath of wet floors and muddy paws, too—because what's pet love without a little cleanup?
Picture this: it's the crack of dawn, and most of the world is still dreaming—except for you, thanks to your furry alarm clock. We've all been there, and in this episode, we swap stories about early morning pet adventures, including Rich's tales of his weekend-ignorant Labrador and a cat with stairway dominance. We foster a sense of togetherness as we invite fellow pet lovers to join the conversation live on social media, sharing joys, mishaps, and the unexpected delights of pet companionship, like children's accomplishments in sports and the natural remedies that keep our pets spry.
Have you ever named a pet and instantly known it was the perfect choice? We explore the humorous intricacies of naming our new canine companions and the compromises that often come with it. Ever walked your dogs among elk or introduced a new pet into a bustling home? Exactly those kinds of stories fill our chapters, and we wrap up with a heartfelt thank you to our community of pet enthusiasts. Join us for an episode that's not just another chat but a weekly tradition where every chuckle and tail wag is a testament to the bonds we share with our pets.

Hello pet enthusiasts, welcome to the massive multicast pet chat. My name is Jason Zakowski.
Speaker 3:I'm the dog dad of Bunsen and Beaker, the science dogs, and my co-host is Hi there, I'm Chris Zakowski, and I am the dog mum to Bunsen and Beaker and the cat mum to Ginger.
Speaker 2:Every week in pet chat we share some stories about Bunsen and Beaker. We play a game and we also let the audience participate by sharing their own pet stories.
Speaker 3:Don't they participate?
Speaker 2:Yeah, they do. They participate. So if you're listening on Twitter audio, all of the audio is going to be funneled through. My avatar, chris is here and she can monitor the chat. She can help bring people up. I'm going to be monitoring the comments that are coming through, the comments that are coming in through some of the other places. We have another person that's joined Right there, yep.
Speaker 3:So Hi Kuno, hi Chesney.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we have Kuno and Chesney on live. All right, Chris, do you want to start?
Speaker 3:Has it been a busy week. Yeah, super busy it's been a very snowy week with a ton of snow, and this is the time that Bunsen shines is when he gets to go frolic in the snow. But there's a bit of a catch now We've created a monster, and if I mean me.
Speaker 2:You've created the monster.
Speaker 3:So Jason was taking the dogs for a walk and usually beaker is a bit of a challenge because she wants to go dig, and so Jason and I, when we go together, we kind of have to corral her in and encourage her to go forward, which is awesome and fun until she runs back up the hill and then it's a bit of a but Bunsen decided he wasn't going to go. I was thinking in the house, because now it's minus two, cold for me. I don't love it, don't love that temperature. So I said I don't think I'm going to go today. And Jason's like oh, are you sure? I said yeah, it's too cold for me.
Speaker 3:And so he took the dogs out and Bunsen was doing these weird spin moves, like he was spinning around. Yeah, he was like so happy and I'm like perfect, he's got his cold weather boost. But then he plopped down and he sat and he looked at you and he looked at the house and he looked at you and he looked at the house. And I know this was happening because I creep from the window, I watch to see what's going on, to make sure that he goes outside. And he wasn't going to go. He ran right back home.
Speaker 2:He wasn't going on the walk, he was all done.
Speaker 3:And it happened two days in a row. And then the second day he guilted me. You had to haul him up the hill with a leash and you hauled him up, and yeah, and then he's. I watched him sit at the top of the hill. I watched him. He was looking and he wasn't, he wasn't going. And then you finally got him to go, and what I did is I was guilted, so I put my boots on and then I met you by going the opposite way.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and when you do that, that gives me a heart attack every single time. Yeah. You are going through the woods with the dogs and then all of a sudden, another person randomly comes out of the bushes and for a second I'm like, oh my God, Sasquatch or something right he took off.
Speaker 3:He took off and I was like why did he run away?
Speaker 2:And then, of course, it was you. But every time you come out of the woodwork it gives me a heart attack because I'm not expecting you to come the other way, because we do a loop and with all of that snow it's deadly silent out there, Like I don't know if you've ever tried to walk around during like snowfall, but it is like eerily quiet in the country Like you can hear. The only thing you can hear is maybe traffic from the highway. You can hear birds like rustling about in up in the trees, like the our winter birds that serve. You know, whatever they're doing, they kind of survive. So, yeah, All right. So it looks like Chris has left, so I'll move on to. I'll move on to my sharing I'll.
Speaker 2:For the folks on watching live, it was another beaker snow pants day, so I took the dogs I had a very busy day today and I took them for a walk early and it was really cold and super snowy. So I put on beaker snow pants and she loves to wear them, which is awesome and then we found a nice spot to kind of plunk down in the snow for a rest, and it was. That was kind of part of my day right there, and one of the cool things about those snow pants for beaker is that she she bounds through the snow like Bunsen. Sometimes she picks her path when she starts to get cold, like she doesn't want to be in the snow too much. And now with those snow pants she's almost invincible. She is as impervious to the snow as Bunsen is, because she does have a long coat and I don't think her body gets cold, but her feet get cold and with those snow pants she doesn't get cold at all.
Speaker 2:So that was that. That was kind of my story. And yes, Bunsen does have his cold weather boost. When Chris came out walking that one time, do you remember? He was roaring around like a crazy person, Like he was roaring up the hill and down the hill and chasing beaker Like he was a puppy again. So it's like the snow brings out the best Bunsen.
Speaker 3:Well, you were worried because it was quite deep and we don't want him to rip or tear his ACL at all.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he was injured last winter when I went skiing, was it last winter? Yeah, we had way more snow last winter. We have lots of snow now but, like for most of this winter, we've had no snow. And I was cross country skiing quite a bit and we went way out into the depths of the forest and we had some really deep snow and Bunsen, I think, smelled something interesting and he tried to jump through like a massive field of snow up to his head and all that jumping like like that was his partial ACL tear and then we had to baby him for like two weeks to get him all back to tip top shape. So that's my story, chris. Do you have anything else before we move to community sharing?
Speaker 3:Well, what can we share about Ginger she's? I don't know.
Speaker 2:She fights with beaker.
Speaker 3:Yeah, she's trolling it up, she's trolling the hard core, yeah, so today I was in the kitchen and it's like I am Giselle, all the animals are coming, and Ginger was on the chair just doing a ginger pose and beaker came by and ginger's like just like that, and beaker's like, and then ginger's like again.
Speaker 2:Chris, people can't see what you're doing on audio.
Speaker 3:So ginger was laying like the Titanic. Kate Winslet saying paint me like all your French girls reference to the movie. And then beaker walked by and then slow mo, ginger's paw came forward and she was like tap on beaker. And beaker didn't really react until ginger did it two or three times and then beaker's like no, I don't think, so I'm going to bark at you and then go sit by my mom.
Speaker 2:Yeah, usually beaker gives ginger a couple, three passes on the swats before it becomes an issue.
Speaker 3:Oh, do you want to talk about early time? Early time all week?
Speaker 2:You can talk about early time, because you have to deal with early time.
Speaker 3:Early time is Bunsen, for a few times this week, has decided that 4, 4, 20 is a good time to be awake In the morning also be awake, yeah. And then I was smart, I took them out late last night and I'm like, oh, it's going to be glorious, there's going to be no issues, they're, they've gone to the bathroom, it's going to be great. No, no. So then early time was ginger sitting in front of the door to the bedroom and beaker must have gone out to do something. I don't know why she left.
Speaker 3:This is her fault, her fault. She left, and when she? So now she's trying to get back in and she cannot get in because ginger's like in front of the door. So now she's barking, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark. And I'm like, oh, ginger, beaker, move ginger to let be her in. And so if I get up, then ginger will like oh, okay, I guess I'm going to come in there. But Bunsen was in our room for some inexplicable reasons. Now he's awake, he's awake, oh, it's time to wake up. Oh, okay. And then, um, so he was crying, so that happened.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:It was early time again on Saturday morning for me.
Speaker 2:Yeah, chris gets up with them, because I have a hard time falling back asleep and Chris just falls immediately back to sleep.
Speaker 3:All you have to do, jason, is close your eyes.
Speaker 2:No, it doesn't work that way.
Speaker 3:You just go. Oh hi, puppy, I mean, it's going to rub you with one hand. Yes, you can rub Bunsen with one hand. If your finger is touching his toe, he's totally fine. He's a weirdo, yeah. And then, um, eventually he falls back to sleep and I'm already asleep. Before he's asleep, I have to dangle my hand, it's fine.
Speaker 2:All right, should we move to community sharing?
Speaker 3:Absolutely.
Speaker 2:All right. So if you're watching um, that's when you see the best stars, that's true, diane is correct from Facebook. So if you're watching on Facebook or Instagram or Twitter live, you can make a comment and I'll try to. We'll try to get to it. If you would like to uh, re request the mic on spaces, chris will organize that and of course, we do double check profiles to make sure um, the folks coming up to speak are, you know, not trolls, and and we haven't had any troll comments. But I mean, that's pretty easy for me to ignore those and delete them. So, uh. So, chris, go ahead and get some folks up. Oh, looks like you have already.
Speaker 3:I have Jason. I've been working behind the scenes here. Um so we'll start with rich and then we'll go to Jen. Hi Rich, hi Rich.
Speaker 2:How you guys doing Congratulations on your daughter with the uh, with, was it curling? Uh, no, five pen bowling, five pen bowling Congratulations. That's very exciting.
Speaker 8:He has two official medals, uh, one team silver and one individual bronze. I'll be quite honest, we didn't expect her to actually come home with any. Uh, we were just hoping that she'd have a good time and make friends and uh, all that sort of stuff. And uh, she's coming home with two medals, so we're pleased. Her didn't punch, can't? Um, I'm almost speechless over it, and if you've ever listened to the show when I'm talking, you know that doesn't happen very often.
Speaker 2:That just tells us how proud you are. So congratulations, Rich. Thank you.
Speaker 8:Um, dogs, cats and early mornings yes, that sounds familiar. Yeah, um, couple of things happened in our household. Um one is our. Calico, who Bayden is deathly afraid of, will sit at the bottom of the stairs and he will want to come up the stairs but he's too scared to go by this little 10 pound cat, and so you'll hear this most mournful howl from the bottom of the stairs, and so somebody has to go escort him past the cat. Oh man. The other thing which happens is through the summer I'm up at about, if I'm working, I'm up at about four o'clock through the week, which is about dawn, okay, and he figures that's great, because I get up, I make a coffee, I feed him. The cats are happy because they get fed too. The problem is, how do you reset a Labrador on weekends?
Speaker 2:Well, you can't, because their whole life revolves around food. Right, exactly.
Speaker 8:I'm lying, I'm doing my ones. I get two mornings to sleep in, saturdays and Sundays when I can, and I mean honestly, eight o'clock is the sleep in, but no dawn birds and Labrador, okay. So that's my story and that's my tale about trying to sleep in with a lab and, like you, jason, I get up, I'm awake. There's nothing I can do about it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I can't fall back asleep. If I was the one to get up with him, I would just be like well, today my day has started at 4.30 in the morning. Yeah.
Speaker 8:Yeah, and I think it was. Donna, how's your car getting along with the vets?
Speaker 2:I don't know if Donna's up to speak. She'll have to drop a comment or come up a little later. What was your question, Rich? I didn't hear that. What was your question?
Speaker 8:She you were talking about cats or animals and vets and she said that her car was scared of going to the vet till they made friends.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, I don't know about that. I don't know, I don't know what the story is there. That's, that's a tweet. Oh, okay, I'll have to go backwards through all that. I think it was Donna. Okay, well, trust you, we'll trust you. Well, thanks, rich, and thanks for popping in. I know it's been a busy month for you, so appreciate it. We'll go to Jen and then we'll go to Marla, if Marla wants to speak on live, and then to Terrence. So if everybody can, kind of will hold to that order. So we'll go to Jen on audio.
Speaker 4:Oh hi, kristen Jason, hello, hey, couple, hey, couple quick things. So this storm that's going through, it's wild. Are you? Is it done in your neck of the woods? We're supposed to get 40 centimeters in Saskatoon.
Speaker 2:It is snowed for two days straight without stopping, like no lie. Yeah, I know, it's still snowing.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, I've shoveled three times and it didn't help. Yeah, Chris's.
Speaker 2:Chris's face looks pretty good, like I thought she would be very upset about this weather. She's putting on a good show for the live.
Speaker 4:You know what, though? We need the moisture.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 4:Save us, like from another forest fire summer. So that's a good thing. So, second thing, thanks for the posts of the Newfoundlander. Oh, I did not know they could be that cute or whatever. That small, but what an adorable puppy. And you know, I've known someone with the Newfoundlander and they're the nicest dogs and if you know, they would love that area that you guys have, you know, all that place to run around. So just saying, and you know what my cat person is, one cute dog, oh, new feet.
Speaker 2:All puppies are adorable, right, but the bigger you have, like the big, big breeds, bernice Mountain Dogs and Great Danes and St Bernard's, and new fees, they are just heart meltingly adorable.
Speaker 4:But even as big dogs they're cute and they're adorable and they're furry and I don't know. They're just my type of dog. So just saying, and I'll stop.
Speaker 3:They're drooling.
Speaker 2:That is true, they are drooling All dogs drool.
Speaker 4:That's why I'm a cat person. But but these are. That would be a dog. I would tolerate it really long.
Speaker 2:I would carry around, I'd carry around something to wipe up the drool. Yeah, I don't, I don't think I don't think Chris is going to go for it yet, but I think I think you would agree, chris, that that puppy picture that I posted and been sending you is pretty cute. It's a pretty cute puppy.
Speaker 3:They are, they are cute. One of them is a bit of. One of them is a bit of red of red flag, because the grass in the background is bright, green, I'm just getting random photos to break you down, chris.
Speaker 2:It's not like some of those dogs don't exist, they just exist. On that I've stolen off social media to show you I'm not. I'm not posting, I'm not stealing people's content and posting it with Bunsen and Beaker, Just to be clear. I am stealing people's content and and emailing it or texting Chris to try and get in our dog. I don't know if that makes it better. Does that, does that? I don't know if that makes it better, so funny.
Speaker 4:Anyway, beautiful dog. Yeah so thanks for letting me stay warm and and hope you don't get any more snow ish, I don't know.
Speaker 2:I don't know how much more can snow. This is the longest snowed all winter.
Speaker 4:We're going to put 40 centimeters here. Someone is actually someone in the middle of the road and put some little flag or something up. You know, and we're only in the first, I guess, six hours of it, so we'll see where that goes.
Speaker 8:Anyway, thanks Okay.
Speaker 2:Marla, did you want to? Did you want to speak or do you want me to go to somebody else? You are not. You're not required to speak, but you're on live here with us, with Kuno and Chesney.
Speaker 7:You say that and I just want to bark.
Speaker 2:Marla, speak, no, if you would like to speak. If you'd like to speak. If you'd like to.
Speaker 7:We can share real quick. We're actually desensitizing headgear with Chesney this weekend. Oh my God, the goggles. They're not a requirement that she needs often, but sometimes you go into environments that might be a little bit bright or things might be splashing around, so we like to desensitize the dogs to the goggles so that if we end up in that environment it's not a oh my goodness, what is this on my face?
Speaker 2:That's such a good idea. We like to be prepared.
Speaker 7:It's our. You know, dog, scout kind of thing. Always be prepared.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 7:Other than that, we had vaccinations this week.
Speaker 2:I saw the vet photos. I saw.
Speaker 7:And the vet is always fun. We did a big post on the vet and making friends with the vet and why that's so important. My own thought on that is there's going to be times when I can't be there with the dog, whether it's an invasive procedure, or even if I am there and it's something really stressful. If the dogs think of the vet as the fun place, the happy place, then it's so much easier and I would hate to think that, like our last memories with the dog, they'd be stressed because they're at the vet clinic. So I'm one of those people that puts a lot of work into that. We do a lot of extra vet visits when we don't have to go to the vet just to pop in, say hi, have a cookie, and leave and always keep it fun. So, yeah, we did vaccinations and now the snow is here and I'm super not happy. So you know, I find other things.
Speaker 2:Has it been snowing like for like it snowed for us for two days straight, like it started early Friday morning and hasn't stopped. Has it been the same for you?
Speaker 7:Well, we have that big dump of snow last weekend and then it sort of settled down and then it's just kind of been this steady light snow a little bit yesterday and then all day today, and anywhere that wasn't cleared really well before is now just yucky and it's cold and it's blowing in your face and it's.
Speaker 7:It's not fun snow and I mean I get Kevin fever really really fast. And because I'm kind of limited to the cleared sidewalks or the not very deep places, finding fun snow outdoors for the dogs is always a challenge. Sometimes we wait until like midnight and we go down the sidewalk to the clearing and even though it's not an off leash area, it's midnight, there's nobody there. We take the leash off, they have a quick run around and I mean they have super solid recall or that would not be a thing, just so that they can get that playtime. Otherwise, like on the dog walk, I've got my handful of freeze dried liver and I just toss it in and they leap into the pile and go snuffle through it and sniff out the liver Something so that they can get a little bit of enrichment in it. But I'm hoping that this doesn't. It's supposed to snow all day tomorrow too.
Speaker 2:It's a lot of snow.
Speaker 7:It is, and I mean it was so good for all winter and now it kind of we knew it couldn't last. We knew that and it's cold Like yeah, it was.
Speaker 2:What was it?
Speaker 7:on Tuesday it was minus 32, with the wind, which is like that's pretty cold for end of February, honestly so it is, and so you know, you throw the boots on the dog and I put on, like seriously, like 16 layers of clothing it's this ridiculous amount of layers of clothing and yeah, I come inside and I'm just like this giant snowball on wheels beside a dog and then it takes like 15 minutes for all the snow to melt off the bottom of my wheelchair. So I have wet, dirty, grungy floors and, yeah, this is not a fun week. So we have to find other ways to make it fun, like make dogs wear goggles.
Speaker 2:That is a fun way to pass the time, at least for us, and I think there's treats involved, so it's good for the dogs too.
Speaker 7:Yeah, that's the whole desensitization thing. I can do anything, because it involves food.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we did the same thing with Bunsen and Beaker. They don't wear the goggles for as long but, like Bunsen, super desensitized to them because he got treats every time he wore them and he's like, oh, these aren't so bad. Exactly, this is the treat goggles.
Speaker 7:The fact that you do that. I mean that's, I recommend that so much with the snow boots too, like, don't wait until you absolutely need them and put them on the dog, start in the fall and put them on for a minute. Don't even put them on, just like you know. Let the dog sniff, give a kibble, give another kibble and it gets better. Anyhow, that's it for us. Go back to the happy people. We need entertainment this evening. You guys are better than cable.
Speaker 2:We've heard that before, that you never know what happens in this hour show, and it's probably better than anything that's on TV. So there you go.
Speaker 7:Very much.
Speaker 2:Thanks, Marla. Hey, I just want to give a shout out before I forget, because I always forget. But Indra is here. Chris, Did you see you in spaces?
Speaker 3:I did.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so Indra is our partner and she runs amazing spaces on positivity, wellness and all of the whole kind of like being in the now type type conversations. Anyways, great spaces, and she's also our partner. So just a hello to Indra. Thank you for coming to space, our space tonight. So Terrence has been waiting. We'll go to Terrence and then Tracy and then Ted. So Terrence, thanks for waiting, Hello.
Speaker 5:Hey, all you guys. It's all really good vibes here. I love the vibes Great show. I just wanted to add, you know, a couple things. One I put a dog door in and a big, big fence in the area. I put a fence and I live out in the country and it was all because of the coyotes. I didn't want to get any. This is too much. Always letting my dogs out, yeah, Finally, after a year they hear the coyotes and it's a race, and I hope the coyotes don't come around right now because it's so loud. But I got four dogs and it's just, it's hilarious, it's really, it's just so how they chase them away because they're a pack, right?
Speaker 2:Yeah, Well what kind of dogs do you have, terrence? I don't think we've ever spoken, so I mean we'd love to know more about your dogs.
Speaker 5:Oh sure, I got four staff of Shires. I put a picture in the lower bubble, oh sure, okay, yeah, I already did. Sorry, ginger, buddy jersey and champ that's my dog. So I got four. They're all from. The father was champ and there was nine babies and I actually hand delivered them because the mother was like two week. I guess she was okay for the first two, but then she just she just laid there and she's. So I brought them all to her, put her in front of them. It was a spectacular thing to go through. I haven't done that since I was kid. Wow, yeah. So I love my dogs. So I kept three of them. They are all different colors. It was hard to pick which one.
Speaker 2:I see that we put the picture up in the nest for people to take a look at. The other all different colors. That's why.
Speaker 5:Yeah, thanks. And the other thing I just for two years I've been on this. Well, I'm an interer in healing and all the good stuff in the world and I come across some, some stuff that's I've been sharing for two years and it's it's mullin. The plant is called mullin and a year ago my I kept noticing every year or twice a year, my one dog always gets wheezing and sneezing and you know, so it's. It's an allergy type thing. It always seems to be when I'm getting my allergies.
Speaker 5:Well, when I was researching a little deeper after a couple of years into the mullin because somebody asked me something and I found that it's okay to give mullin to your pets and it's totally safe and any mammal can have it and what it does is it clears their lungs and cleans bad mucous out and makes their lungs stronger. Well, I gave some to my one dog the only one dog has this allergy and sure enough it worked. Within five minutes he stopped sneezing. I didn't see him sneeze for three days, worked for three days and then I just started giving it to him twice a week and it's really helped him a lot. I haven't heard him sneeze at all and he would get into these really bad fits and my friends would be gone and say okay, all the time, maybe I need to take that, chris, because I sneeze every morning like about five times.
Speaker 5:Oh yeah, you take it. It's really good you read about it. You won't not take it. You can pick it out of your on your walks. That's the best place to pick it. Learn how to pick it yourself, and I just wanted to share that with you. And if you got any other things I love, I'll be back on again.
Speaker 2:Well, thanks. Thanks, terrence. I do remember Mullen from my like I have, I have a. Oh, marla was talking. Oh, I'm sorry, I thought it was Tracy and then Tracy was talking. I just muted Tracy's mic because I think it came on by accident, chris. Oh no, it's okay, Tracy, yeah all good.
Speaker 2:And just to wrap up, terrence, that's interesting about Mullen. I did know about it and that was it was a thing for eczema Cause there's a couple of kids I've taught in the past that have used, or they like they have really bad eczema and then, you know, I was just chatting with them and then they mentioned that. So yeah, okay, cool, cool information. Okay. So yeah, tracy, go ahead, tracy, and then we'll get Ted up here, ted drop down. So go ahead, tracy. Hi guys, hi, hi, how are you guys doing?
Speaker 2:We are good. We hope you're well.
Speaker 11:Yeah, I'm doing well Just here with Ricky. He just uses scratcher like a good boy and so maybe he won't go on the couch as much, cause I had a using scratchers before but then I guess it wasn't fancy enough for him. But my sister found him out like a really nice scratcher on sale and he likes to use that. So he's just a particular boy, but not too much going on with us. He's just like sleeping by me a lot at night and then he'll want to like sleep under the covers. And he's still getting to a shenanigans and jumping on the counter.
Speaker 2:So when you're sleeping, does Ricky bite you Like? Does he playfully bite you, tracy?
Speaker 11:No only like if I move my hands under the covers, like when he was on top of the covers, but you're like I don't know, but like doing that kind of hand play yeah, yeah, like I heard, isn't that great because, like, they might just want to like attack your hands when they're not Okay, but so, but yeah, he doesn't really, you know, do any play bites unless he wants attention and he's not getting it fast enough, so, like when I'm sleeping, just like randomly during the day sometimes.
Speaker 2:I ask because I Asked, because ginger has been known to Bite my toes during the night.
Speaker 11:Oh, yeah, I think, because I have them. Well, no, he doesn't do that. I was like, oh, sometimes a lower socks, but sometimes I won't. So but yeah, he doesn't seem to do that, which is good.
Speaker 3:Tracy, are you six? And if you're six foot three? You're hanging off the end of the bed and I think that's why you're eating toes. So if you're not six foot three, I'm not sure if Ricky would have the opportunity.
Speaker 2:Hey, it's not my fault, I'm that tall.
Speaker 11:Unless he did it while he was like sleeping under the covers. I just went down there and prompt.
Speaker 2:I don't know what happened. I wake up and ginger is like I just about kick the cat.
Speaker 11:I have to be careful because actually hitting my cup of times last night. Yeah, I still slept by me. So I'm like, okay, ricky, that's nice.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the last thing I want to do is hurt that little cat, but I mean, she was biting my toes, so See any Zola videos any what sorry.
Speaker 11:Any of the snaps with Zola in them? Oh yes, she looks very cute and she looks like she'll be a Small miscreant, so I'll have to get used to better. I can teach her the ways.
Speaker 2:I'm just happy for them.
Speaker 11:I'm just happy block might lose it if he has two people, two dogs, going after his shark.
Speaker 1:But We'll see.
Speaker 2:Oh, I can't. I have to. Every time I see their puppies, it's just like we could I, I just want another puppy. So I mean, I'll just keep working on Chris.
Speaker 11:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Chris.
Speaker 11:Oh sorry, tracy, go ahead like even just seeing like Zola reacting to hops and Just hearing about how Jen would talk about hops, I don't know. I think it's pretty easy to wear and go down there.
Speaker 2:I don't think in goes the boss of that house. Let's just get that straight, hmm.
Speaker 11:Yes.
Speaker 2:Beading, doesn't he say? Jen is always right, so yeah, sorry, I'm gonna go to Chris first because she was trying to speak, and then we'll go to rich, who's got his hand up. Chris, you were saying something, but you were muted, I think I.
Speaker 3:Don't remember, so we'll go to rich and be okay, rich, go ahead.
Speaker 8:Can you hear me?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 8:One of our cats who's the rescue from the firm. If my toes aren't completely covered, in the bottom of the bed I will find 20 little fish hooks embedded in. I'm not six, three, I'm only about six foot, but sometimes my beloved will grab all the blankets off my toes.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, okay, that's common, that's. That seems to happen in our house too, so you need that for shielding from little cats. Yes, thanks, rich. Okay, we'll go to Ted. Ted, thanks for waiting, and then we'll go to Raul. Ted. Hello, welcome back to pet chat. Go ahead, ted. Oh.
Speaker 6:Yeah, do you have me there? Yeah, I got you Ted.
Speaker 2:I got you, ted. Welcome, hello.
Speaker 6:Thank you, good to speak with you folks again. Yeah Well, this the story is. The story goes back a decade now when we still had our whole herd of Australian shepherds. Oh man, and we would travel with them if we were in Alto New Mexico, and Because of the number of dogs we had, I would only take a few of them out to walk at a time, so I would take three on the first run and then I take the other three. Yes, we actually traveled with six Australian shepherds. Oh, my goodness. We had them in the back of a 2003 Honda Odyssey that my wife bought specifically so we could travel with them. And we traveled with them everywhere. So winter time or winter time early December in Alto, in a small rental home in the Hills, gorgeous scenery, wildlife everywhere, not too worried per se, but on the walk we're rounding a bend in the name.
Speaker 2:Oh, we lost you, ted.
Speaker 6:I Think we just lost them. Lost you, ted, okay.
Speaker 2:Are you back? Yeah, I think so. Okay, let's try. I heard you say rounding the, and then you cut, cut out.
Speaker 6:Okay, let's try that again. Rounding the bend on the on the neighborhood and Something lifted up from one of the yards and, to be honest with you, I wasn't sure what it was at the time. It turned out to be a bull man, a bull elk and his little harem.
Speaker 6:Oh man sitting amongst the rocks and the trees of this Magnificent mansion like home. They look like large, lumpy boulders or landscape. When we came around the corner and all of a sudden he stood up, and my lead dog stood up at the same time on his hind legs, and I thought this was going to be a very unpleasant end to a beautiful vacation. Oh my god, and I don't know how we corrupt I corralled them very quietly, we snuck down the side of the hill and fortunately the elk didn't go any further than the edge of the yard.
Speaker 6:Okay, that was an interesting walk back, I'll tell you. And, yeah, interesting, interesting times, but we love traveling with them. We took them all over Idaho you name it, montana, up in the central.
Speaker 2:Lost you again. Ted up through the central. Yeah, idaho the central, and then nothing so I mean, if Ted can have six dogs, we can have one more, right, chris? That works out that way. Six divided by three is what, chris? Oh, we lost you. We lost you, ted, so we'll have to come back to you, if that's okay. Oh, we lost Raul. Raul is gonna talk about Something, something in Africa, he said.
Speaker 2:Okay, okay, sorry I don't know what dead time. Okay, do you want me to do a little little promo and then we'll do something else? I'm okay. Do you want me to do a little little promo and then we'll do some wrap-up?
Speaker 3:Sure, just checking to see that we yeah.
Speaker 2:Richard, can you guys hear us if we lose all audio? Can everybody hear us? I?
Speaker 8:Can hear you five by five.
Speaker 2:Okay, so we're good, okay, we're good, then it was just. It was just Ted, then. Okay, so just a couple things to mention.
Speaker 5:I'm just gonna go in and had his hand up, but it fell down. Oh oh, who had his?
Speaker 2:hand up Brandon Beaton.
Speaker 5:Sorry for butchering the name.
Speaker 2:Rich, did you? Did you have a question or comment?
Speaker 8:Just a comment on multiple dogs my below I keep trying to get. I want one of each color Labrador oh yeah, look smart. I'm a wife says, anthony, and I quote, I have three cats, one dog and one husband, and that's enough for any woman.
Speaker 2:I don't know what. I guess, if I would, if I wasn't such an, a bigger rang, a tang, maybe we would have more room in the house. Anyways, oh on your side. Chris has the camera on Bunsen. What is Bunsen eating?
Speaker 3:Chris, it's a bully stick that's the two that I bought today.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Don't tell quiet he is.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he is very quiet. Okay, well, we'll go to Donna. I'll do my promo at the end. I'll do the promo stuff at the end. We have somebody that can Donna's here to speak, so go ahead, donna.
Speaker 1:I'm just responding to Rich's comment earlier about my car going to the bed.
Speaker 2:Okay, I missed it. What's the story there? I have no idea what's going on.
Speaker 1:Marla Kuno posted the the post that Marla was talking about earlier, about how to you know, take your pets to the vet and make sure it's not a scary environment for them, and you know everybody's kind of responding about you know they have great vets, blah, blah, blah. And Well, I tried to tell a story. I once had a cat that was terrified of the vet. I mean, really hated going to the vet, and it came out as car, even though I say cat three times in the rest of the post, but the first part was a car.
Speaker 2:Oh is a typo.
Speaker 8:Oh, and you know what I picked up on I.
Speaker 2:Don't. Oh, did we lose Donna? Are you there, donna? Oh man, what? What is going on with the audio? Donna, are you back? Oh, we didn't hear. I didn't hear you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's so weird, I don't know. I think there's a poltergeist solar flares because In Texas, in Dallas, the other day we were 90 degrees Fahrenheit and then we went down the 33 degrees Fahrenheit for three straight days and now it's 85, so I don't know what's going on. We're getting ready for the solar eclipse. That's where you can watch it, by the way, if y'all want to come visit me in Dallas.
Speaker 2:We are thinking about. Yeah, chris and I are gonna be talking. We are gonna go see the eclipse and One of the top locations is Texas, so we might have to talk in the DMs about that.
Speaker 3:Donna, are you safe from fire, though, from the fires that are happening in Texas?
Speaker 2:Texas is really big, chris. I know, but I Think I think Donna's having audio issues.
Speaker 1:Oh, oh, I think it's no, can you hear me?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I can hear you oh.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's really far away. It's about Six hours by car, so but it's devastating out there because everybody's cost of beef is about to go through the roof, with all the heads of cattle that were just lost. It's terrible and pray for the people of California too, because they're getting Feet of snow overnight, not just inches, feats. It's crazy. The weather's nuts Um, but we lost.
Speaker 2:We lost Donna again. I think it's intermittent.
Speaker 8:Have you ever seen a total eclipse? Jason?
Speaker 2:Donna, we lost you, I apologize. And then no worries. And then rich asked a question. I have not, in my entire life I have not seen a total eclipse where we live. We will never see one. Just we will never, ever see one. There will never be a total eclipse over Alberta, so we have to go to see one.
Speaker 8:I've oh I was, I've seen two, no, sorry, a few parcels and one total when I was a kid in PEI.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the total one was a while ago. You would have been a small boy, probably, I.

I live there for a year and a half and I hope everything gets resolved there with the fires. That's all they really wanted to say. So we're thinking of you.
Speaker 2:Thanks, jen Rich, to you. Go ahead.
Speaker 8:I was just going to say, from what I remember of the eclipse, it was really cool, oh right, yeah. It got really dusky and all the birds started to roost. And you know, it got like it would just at night. The birds were roosting, everything got quiet and then it got really dark and at that point we could safely look at the sun because it was totality. I was at a friend's place. His dad is a agriculture candidate scientist, so he was really cautious about what we do. And then everything reversed and the birds all, like all the animals are like wait a minute, I just fell asleep. What happened?
Speaker 2:That's so confusing to them.
Speaker 8:Yeah, and Tina, please go ahead. I'll just thought that was kind of cool to share.
Speaker 2:Thanks, hi, tina. Welcome to this pet chat.
Speaker 10:Hello.
Speaker 2:Hello.
Speaker 10:How is everybody?
Speaker 2:We're good, we're happy, you're here.
Speaker 10:Good Thanks. We're snowed in. Oh man, we got all of it. I mean that you were supposed to get it's all in my driveway. Okay, it's bad. The snow plows are just now running, but the dons are having a blast and little miss Liza Manelli, who never goes in the snow, went in the snow. I'm proud of her for being brave. My other big pet news is I made another cat. Tori Amos is all clear of her symptoms from the Khaleesi virus. I suspect she's a carrier because she's been sick pretty much her whole life, but I'm well equipped to handle that. She will have a formal respiratory panel on the 14th. We'd like to wait at least two weeks after stopping treatment just to check for a relapse. But that'll also let us know if she's a carrier and she is going to stay with us. She doesn't hate me for putting her through all the trauma of the most awful medications in the world.
Speaker 10:And she's a. She's been bounced around so much. She's officially a permanent herd member.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's wonderful. Is that one of your latest posts? Team. Yes, I think there's a Liza being on the loose is with that, is that no, yeah that's Liza. Yeah.
Speaker 10:And then go down a little bit, okay, and you'll see Tori jumping up and giving me a hug.
Speaker 2:Callico Hello, saying hello to the girl. Is that Callico? Hello, right there. Yes, oh, what a cool looking cat.
Speaker 10:Isn't she me yeah?
Speaker 2:that's a needle looking cat.
Speaker 10:Yeah, thanks, another ginger ish. Speaking of issues, do we have a new fee? Puppy update.
Speaker 2:The new fee puppy update is a comment. Oh, I know, wasn't that one so sweet?
Speaker 10:Oh my gosh, I know yesterday or maybe whatever day that you started texting puppies every five hours to Chris. I did a search. There are no rescue new fees in the entire United States, but I have an alert set in case one comes up, I'll meet you at the border. Chris will never know, it'll be perfect.
Speaker 2:That's right, I'll. We'll have to trick her into taking the van, though that's the yeah, I'll just say. I'll just say I'm getting new furniture or something. Perfect, chris is shaking your head.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that probably went.
Speaker 2:Yeah, new coffee table.
Speaker 10:Yeah, oh my gosh, now you have to name it coffee table.
Speaker 2:People have many opinions on if we do. You know, I don't. I don't want to get people's hopes up, but like what the name on another dog would be.
Speaker 10:You have one in the mix that was some sort of I like.
Speaker 2:I like Beryl because it would be Barry for short.
Speaker 10:Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2:Yeah, barry, barry, beryllium yeah. And it starts with a, b and it starts with a, b and it's a friend yeah. It's a, it's a. It's an element on the periodic table.
Speaker 10:Yeah, okay, well then, that's settled.
Speaker 2:Element three All right Gossip to the van.
Speaker 3:I guess compromise is 0% 100%.
Speaker 2:Sometimes compromise is 0%, 100% Chris sometimes it is.
Speaker 3:This will be three dogs in a row.
Speaker 2:Well, sometimes dogs are zero.
Speaker 4:Well, I take, ginger takes one, what about three turtles?
Speaker 2:What about the two turtles and ginger? So we're equal.
Speaker 3:What are you talking about?
Speaker 2:Two turtles.
Speaker 4:And the turtles are.
Speaker 3:Timmy, mr T and Timmy, and we call them Carl and or Sagan.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but you didn't know which one was which, because they look the same.
Speaker 3:There's mean turtle and nice turtle.
Speaker 2:I know you wanted to call them mean turtle and nice turtle. You actually had a different name for. You actually had a different name for mean turtle, which we can't utter here on a live PG space. So no. Okay, tim, thanks for the update. Are you, did you get every? Did you did you do? Is your update okay? Can we go to somebody?
Speaker 10:else. Yeah, I think my update is good and we should go to the next speaker.
Speaker 2:Thanks Tim.
Speaker 10:All right, Take care everybody.
Speaker 2:You betcha Hi Paula, You're next and we've got Kuno Kuno's nose close up, so I know I can see that that's very cute.
Speaker 12:I'm kind of switching back forth, but anyway I'll be real quick. Hey, tina, I wish you'd look closer to me because I'd go with you on that mission with that new fee, because if you're going to be picking up furniture, dude, you can say, gee, we got a kind of a mini love seat coming home, and she would know, and then it would be the puppy in it and it would be a love seat.
Speaker 10:My search is nationwide, so there's a chance that we can meet up there's a boat.
Speaker 2:Okay, there's like a whole bunch of new fee puppies within driving distance of us.
Speaker 10:Let's just say that oh see, well, you know you'd have to go get new furniture.
Speaker 12:You'd have to. And then, on that note, I did put a picture in the chat. We had seven Yorkies, kind of like it was just a long story short, but we had like three generations and we had, oops, puppies. But we ended up keeping them all. So everybody goes how can you have seven dogs? But Ting can relate, it's like well, once you have one it's like candy bars. You know, you just keep going.
Speaker 10:I have eight, it's all the same. I almost got a baby goat last week but it's sad that he had a lot of issues and I don't want to be a donor. But if I have room for a goat and eight dogs and what I have four or five cats, the dragons, and that mean fish you can fit a coffee table in.
Speaker 2:That's right, it's really a table. Yeah, like we when we got beaker aside from the whole puppy business, which is a lot of work. It like having two dogs is nothing Like we just love them so much. They're on there Like it's like Kuno and Chesney, like they get along. They're great dogs, like yeah.
Speaker 12:Well, just on a good note, my husband didn't want another Brussels griffon and my late mom and I went on a mission because we found a black one in a paper and we went home, we just got it, we brought it home and that was Rose, I mean, and I mean he just fell head over heels for her. So it was like he didn't want another dog because we had, you know, seven Yorkies and we were getting near the end of them and that was hard because we made they all start kind of going at the same time and it's a lot, but you know. But when we bought, brought home that rosebud, he was just enamored. So, you know, might take Chris a little bit, and they're not too bad.
Speaker 12:I've dog sat for two new fees. I had a 14 year old one and a puppy. It was like ying and yang because one was slow and one was like full of energy, so it was crazy. But they they're really good dogs and they don't. I don't think they drool as much as people think they do. And you can always use bandanas because I I dog sat for a great Pyrenees Saint Bernard mix and she would make bandanas for them and it would catch the drool. So it's not. It wasn't like you're wiping up you know spots going down the floor. It's just be careful when you're eating, so you eat somewhere that's easy to wipe. So that's, that's my, that's my advice. But I, I love the posts and they crack up laughing because when I see those puppy pictures I'm like man, I wish I could get one too, but I think my husband would leave. All right, guys. Well, thanks for everything. Great show and it's nice to hear everybody and have a good night.
Speaker 2:Yeah, this is. We look forward to doing PetChat too. So there's some more speaker requests. We're, we're kind of wrapping stuff up, so we're, we're gonna, we're gonna move towards the end. Donna, you came back up, did you want? Did you have something to say before we would wrap?
Speaker 1:Yeah, am I working again, is it?
Speaker 2:working. We can hear you now. You were kind of cutting in and out before.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm not surprised. I was saying that you can get a fourth dog, get two new fees and if you're going to name one beryllium, name the other one bromium and call them bro.

Speaker 3:We could make an ionic compound.
Speaker 2:There's a question. Are you comfortable answering how old Rafi is?
Speaker 3:Rafi is four years old.

So if you didn't get a print book, we sold out of text from Bunsen volume two, eternal winter sold out, they gone. We thought it was gone forever. We have a very, very limited stock in the store. So if you missed out on text from Bunsen, you can, you can, you can pick up a text from Bunsen volume two book Well, supplies last in our store and our store is at Bunsen, bunsen burner, bmdcom I'm not sure what Chris is showing, oh, bunsen.
Speaker 2:And and of course, if you, if you don't want that, that there's the ebook and the audio book. We also have a really fun experiment book 21 experiments for kids, 21 amazing science experiments, and you can just, you can just get the experiment book. But I've made little bundles on our website where you can pick up the book and a stuffy kind of bundled together for a really good deal. And as always, remember we've got those science stuffies. We have the activity book, and one thing that we were going to just plug a little bit more just to get everybody aware is we have, instead of a Patreon, because a lot of creators use Patreon as a way to keep, like, their podcast free and their content free and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2:We moved away from Patreon to something called the pop, the pop pack. So you're going to see us plug that a little bit more and it's kind of hard doing links while we're live. But if you want to support what Chris and I do, the best way to support us is to become a pop pack plus member and there's different tiers and there's tons and tons of stuff in our community. Like it's almost overwhelming when you join. We've heard that there's just too much stuff, but one of the fun things that we do every Sunday is we get together for like a really intimate live chat Every single Sunday and you can come or you don't have to come, but it's a lot of fun on Sunday evenings. So at that time. Sometimes we ask for advice about hey, this is what we're thinking.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and get feedback from our. We call them the P3 pop pack community. That's right, yeah, and again, it's kind of tough to post links in our community.
Speaker 2:So maybe keep your eyes peeled for when we're talking about the pop pack. I'm just going to put it in. I can put it into the nest on on Twitter if you're interested. And from the pop pack we have, the thing that we're going to be launching next week, next week, next week, next month is our fake rolling bone or our spoof of rolling stone, and we've gotten a whole bunch of like help from the pet community. So you'll notice that dogs will be the authors of articles or they'll be in the articles or they'll be the focus of the articles. And I'm about halfway done writing it and it's a bit a lot of fun, and it's going to coincide with a couple new songs that will come out at the end of March from beakers band, vultures of parliament. So, anyways, that's the bookkeeping, and I wanted to thank everybody who said yes to being involved with having their, their pet, be part of the be part of rolling stone. Woo, that's a lot of information, chris. It is, but you did great. Okay, time to wrap up. Hey, oh should we?
Speaker 3:So we, we did the draw right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay, that's a person. One FM tomatoes, yeah.
Speaker 10:FM tomatoes.
Speaker 3:That's not bad.
Speaker 2:So we have a side chat next week and our guest is Dr DEP or DIP, who is a Astrophysicist that studies asteroids. So you remember how we were so excited about a Cyrus Rex. I know Out of this world, yeah.
Speaker 3:So we're pretty excited to have that.
Speaker 2:This guest is our science guest on Tuesday. Okay, yes, chris, people are laughing at your pun. I know it's so good.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I was a little slow on the sound effect there, but I'm. Hey, Jason, did you see that? One of your?
Speaker 1:former science guest has been invited to the state of the union or president Biden's speech because of her role in creating a bill for traveling working moms. Is that Emily Calendrally? It is, oh she is.
Speaker 2:She is something else that lady Poof I. We were very, very lucky to have her on the show. So, yeah, what, what is she doing?
Speaker 1:I didn't see that Donna, so she was invited by representative Swallow from California, who she helped write a bill that he and representative Porter from California introduced for assistance for travel with working moms, yeah, and so they invited her to the state of the union. So it's the president's address to the nation. That's pretty big deal.
Speaker 2:That's pretty cool. I remember this Emily was traveling and nursing and was treated like super cruelly by you know it was a miss and miss by the TSA Like it was a kaleidoscope of massive errors that just you know, came down and she was, you know, obviously very, very upset.
Speaker 2:I remember this now. Yeah, yeah, well, that's cool, donna, awesome, go, emily, she's a cool lady. She check out her show on Netflix, if you've got kids, called Emily's wonder lab. It's an amazing show. All right, Good, chris, do you have anything else? No, we're good to wrap.
Speaker 2:Okay, I have to check my 3d printer. Oh, I have props for the people who are alive. Look what I have it's a hamster. It's a hamster. So, yeah, I've, I've, if you subscribe to us for $1, one of the one of the subscribers we sent out there, as I've, I'm building a cosplay team for us and my character has a hamster. So that's what I'm showing. It doesn't make a lot of sense unless you've played the game Baldur's Gate. So, anyways, I don't think it makes a lot of sense to Chris. But, okay, let's wrap up. Thanks for coming to pet chat. Everybody, you could be anywhere in the world, but you're here. If you wanted to speak and he didn't get up, that's okay. We run this every single Saturday, so try again next week. And everybody who joined us on live video, thanks for joining. I have no idea what's going on Instagram. It looks like it's frozen.
Speaker 3:So if it's closed because it's one hour mark, oh, that's right, they miss out. They miss out.
Speaker 2:They just cut out randomly for them. Yeah, thanks for coming to pet chat. This is a lot of fun.
