Pet Chat June 14th: Bernoulli's Adventures in Pet School and Beyond
Ever wondered what a Bernese Mountain Dog puppy in a lion costume looks like?
Brace yourself for some belly laughs as we recount the comedic chaos of taking our boisterous Bernoulli to puppy school solo while Kris was off chaperoning a parade.
From his hilarious attempts at cornering to the sky-object desensitization class filled with hats, kites, and bubbles, this episode is packed with unforgettable moments that will leave you grinning from ear to ear. And yes, we even managed a mini fashion show with lion costumes!
But the fun doesn’t stop there. Join us as we navigate the pandemonium of feeding time with Bernoulli and Ginger, and share the bittersweet hustle of marking assignments and preparing for finals. We were touched by a heartfelt thank you card featuring custom pet artwork from a student, which was a beautiful reminder of the connections we form beyond the classroom.
Plus, we’ve got a cold weather story from a listener in tropical Townsville that will make you appreciate your own local climate.
Finally, buckle up for a whirlwind of vet visits and pet stories, where Bernoulli's clever antics steal the show as he impresses the vet staff by opening a treat jar.
Whether it’s heartwarming moments or laugh-out-loud anecdotes, this episode is a delightful celebration of the joys and occasional chaos of pet ownership.

Hello pet enthusiasts, welcome to Pet Chat. My name is Jason Zukoski. I'm the dog dad of Bunsen, beaker and now Bernoulli, the science dogs on social media.
Speaker 3:My co-host is Hi there, I'm Chris Zukoski. I'm the dog mom to Bunsen Beaker, amber Lily and the cat mom to Ginger.
Speaker 2:Every week in Pet Chat we bring you stories to share about pets. You can share your own stories or we can share ours. We normally start with a game, but as we have a puppy, we're going to keep Pet Chat a little short today, just like last week. So I'll start with. I'll start with my story, and my story starts from today.
Speaker 2:Chris was a chaperone at a parade, so Adam is helping out the Red Deer Royals because he's the only tuba or no, there's a couple tubas, but he's the only senior tuba. So they twisted his arm to come back to in marching season to help out the younger kids with some leadership and he does a great job of it and he really likes doing the marching band season, like marching in parades and playing music. So chris was a chaperone, so that meant I had to do puppy school all by myself and I love having chris there. Like it's way easier with two people. I'm not gonna lie, it is way easier having two people. I'm not going to lie, it is way easier having two people. But it was just so fun taking Bernoulli to puppy class because he's been desperately wanting people, like other dogs, to play with him and, like Bunsen is is warming up to Bernoulli, like he lets Bernoulli get real close to him, he lets him follow him around, um, and. But he doesn't do the same kind of play that he did when Beaker was little. He doesn't like the puppy bites, um, he'll just leave, and then Beaker is into none of that, so she doesn't really like to be too close to him, um, if he comes and tries to snuggle up to her, she moves away. It's weird, though, because they hang out all day. It's basically like Ginger and Beaker, the cat and the dog. They're always close to each other. So that's like how Beaker's treating Bernoulli right now, just without, maybe, some of the cat and dog interactions.
Speaker 2:So onto the puppy school story. The first thing that happened was it was puppy play, which is really good to desensitize dogs to lots of different things. Bernoulli has a little friend named Milo who's quite a bit older than him almost a month older and they played really rough and tumble. So Bernoulli was just so into the tackling and the chasing. And then eventually a couple other dogs warmed up and they were into it too, so it was really fun seeing all four of them. But Bernoulli's built like he's a Bernese Mountain Dog. He's built like a brick. So he is awful at cornering. He cannot corner to save his life. Like he can go forward, he can go backwards and that's about it. He can't turn real fast. So these other dogs are just so much faster than him and because of that it's harder for him to track them down. He's got to either use his brain or his brawn to take these other dogs down.
Speaker 2:And then, after we played outside, we went inside and Waggles is doing this new thing which is really cool with puppies. So you play for a bit and then you come inside and there's a different thing to be Bernhulie's chomping on Chris. There's a different thing to be Bernoulli's chomping on Chris. There's a different thing to be desensitized to each week. So this week it was things in the sky or things above the dog. So there were hats we all had to wear funny hats and there were kites and frisbees and bubbles. So there were all these things that would be above the puppy. That in Shard is the owner of Waggles in her experience, like some dogs can develop a phobia of like just things, spooky things in the sky that you did, that we desensitized all the dogs to and they were all. They could care less about us waving a flag or a kite or wearing a funny hat.
Speaker 2:My favorite thing was, in the bucket of stuff that we were supposed to be like using to screw around with, there were these two lion costumes Like they were, I don't know. I think there were towels, but they were like lion costumes for dogs, and this other dog parent put the lion costume on one of their dogs and I put it on Bernoulli and then they were walking around as little lions. It was so adorable. Actually I posted a video about it. It was like the greatest hits of puppy play. So I'll throw that into the nest just because we don't have a game today. So that'll go up into the nest. You'll see them as puppies and I see them as sorry, as little lion cubs.
Speaker 2:And then the skills we worked on today was get ready, which is a way to train a dog to walk in heel formation, so walk like a good puppy on your side with a leash. So Bernoulli got really good at that. And then the other one was to practice healing, which means you walk forward, your puppy walks forward, and when you stop stop, your puppy stops, and that was really fun. We've had some experience with Bunsen and Beaker so I knew kind of the drill and and because again, bernoulli doesn't move very quickly, like he's fast, but he's not nearly as chaotic as Beaker was or there's other little dogs, his plodding movements was perfect for heel because he just clotted forward and then sat down when it was time to sit and he got a treat and that's his favorite thing because he's very food motivated.
Speaker 3:So sorry, chris, that you missed puppy play and puppy school, but I think you had a fun time at the parade it's been such a crazy week and I signed up for all the chaperoning prior to getting Bernoulli and I forgot to cancel myself from today's shift and I did not want to cancel myself late cancel myself at 10 o'clock at night which is when I was like, oh, is there a parade tomorrow?
Speaker 3:There's a parade tomorrow. And Adam said, mom, please come out and hang out with me. So of course I was like, okay, but it was, we did two parades today. We did the Blackhawks parade and then we did the Sylvan Lump parade, so not one but two, it was a double hitter.
Speaker 2:That's a double hitter. What are the royal songs that they play in the band?
Speaker 3:They are playing Kitty Perry's Firework.
Speaker 4:Oh.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I took some video of it today. It depends where you are on the parade route what song you get. I tried to get a variety of their songs.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:They still do hey Baby, which is their classic. That's like their signature song. Yeah, it's my favorite, that's like their signature song?
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's my favorite. That's what I got first, and then I laughed because when I used to post some stuff about it, someone made me comment is that the only song they play Kind of a well, I read Tone into it because it's their best song, they get into it and they like they have little moves, like the Adam with the tuba has like a tuba move for hey Baby.
Speaker 2:So anyways.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so I got it on. I always say on tape, it's digital. Now I got it on the camera where he goes and he sits in someone's empty lawn chair, so got that yeah.
Speaker 2:Oh, I'm sorry. Uh, some, we got muted on. We got muted on spaces. Is the sound back everybody? We'll wait for emojis no audio. Oh, we're we got audio again? Okay, no audio.
Speaker 5:That was weird.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't know what happened. It just muted my mic on Spaces. I didn't see it. I didn't touch anything. Spaces has been glitchy. I'll tell you that it hasn't been running super smooth the last couple weeks. All right. So, folks on Spaces, you may miss Chris and I talking about the Royals.
Speaker 3:That's where Chris was today, but maybe we'll just move to your pet story, chris. Where to start? It's been a amazing week with little Bernoulli growing up so quickly, changing every single day. He's becoming more of a little man as opposed to all that puppy stuff, so enjoy it while it lasts, because it goes so quickly and the dogs are getting more familiar with his personality and his personality is really coming out. He's pretty assertive. He's Bernoulli the brave.
Speaker 2:He's Bernoulli the brave.
Speaker 3:Nothing scares him and he is very adventurous and we the very first walk we took him on it was so chaotic we went down the hill and then I carried him down the hill and then he just wants to be with the other dogs and so I let him run through the creek and he's happy. And then he ran all the way up the hill and then it was just it was too much.
Speaker 3:It was too much, he was too little. But this past week we went on two walks and we took him on two and he wanted to run down the hill and he was like little puppy clumsy, and I was like whoa, that's gonna be a problem. I scooped him up and then this time I didn't let him go through the creek and then but he's so excited he wants to be with the other dogs and busy running. But fun fact, the last time Bunsen went ahead and Beaker went ahead and Bernoulli was running and it was like where you go down into into the Creek area and Beaker waited because she recognized right away that Bernoulli was going to biff it real bad or really hurt himself and so she was a good dog mom even though she's not a mom to Bernoulli to protect him. It was awesome and amazing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she made him, she made Bernoulli wait until we got caught up, which was really cool.
Speaker 6:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Cause normally she. It was very atypical for her Cause. Normally she just tears down that hill and then goes into the Creek. But you had shouted at her to wait and then I think she realized what was going on there.
Speaker 3:Oh, is that the?
Speaker 2:goo ball. Is he rolling the goo ball?
Speaker 3:The goo ball yeah.
Speaker 2:We have all these toys that Bunsen and Beaker didn't play with, that Bernoulli plays with. It's so hilarious, it's like every toy.
Speaker 3:Well, that was Callan's, that was.
Speaker 2:Callan's. Oh, I love that. That was Callan's toy. She played with that toy.
Speaker 3:She did. And then we're like oh, bunsen will play with this.
Speaker 2:He never played with it a single time.
Speaker 3:Not one time.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the goo ball is like this big hard plastic ball that if you roll it goes, makes these weird gooey sounds. So yeah, all right, I don't know where Chris's feed went. Maybe she'll be back and on the Bunsen and Beaker front, just so everybody isn't worried, they are still getting like their normal walks and attention that they normally get right. If one of us is playing with Bernoulli then we're very cognizant of the fact that we don't want to make Bunsen and Beaker jealous. We don't want to make them feel like they're left out. So if one of us is doing stuff with Bernoulli then we've been working hard to make sure the other one of us is with Bunsen and Beaker and on the creek walk. It's really cool as soon as Bernoulli's big enough to oh, chris has the goo ball. So if you're watching live, you can see the goo ball.
Speaker 1:It's actually a fun toy for dogs that like it, because it does make a little gooey sounds.
Speaker 2:You're muted, chris. Nobody's gonna hear the goo sounds. Okay, I don't know if that's a goo sound, I don't even know what to call that, but we just call it the goo ball. Why did you just randomly bring that out for bernoulli to see if he'd like it?
Speaker 3:yeah, it's called the wobobble Wag Giggle.
Speaker 2:Okay, a giggle ball.
Speaker 3:It.
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay, I love it. The giggle ball. Oh right, there's so many wonderful comments so I'll just throw them up into the Jumbotron here. Jenny says won't be a lapdog for long. Art author tk says bernoulli, so fluffy. Kelly says he just wants love. Paula says he's acting, so puppy paula says loves the lion costumes. And then jenny says bernoulli had a unique response to the lemon, so I forgot that was was last week. Chris was his was the updated lemon video.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And um.
Speaker 3:There was no response. He was actually the opposite kind of response that we were expecting to get. We thought he would be barking at the lemon, but instead he licked it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he could care less. He licked it. He then I took it away and he's like whatever. So that just goes to show that dogs are unique, right. Like every dog is its own person, bernoulli is going to be his own person, his own little dog, his own little dog person. Yeah, and I guess he'll earn the the nickname bernoulli the brave from that. I forget somebody said that on. I need to find who coined that and maybe give them credit. It wasn't me, it was somebody in the comments to one of the videos said it was the first person to say Bernoulli the brave and I really liked that so I ran with it. And then on Twitter spaces, indra says happy weekend, pet community. So it's very good to see Indra back. Hello, hopefully you're doing well. A whole bunch of comments about not having audio and then people just saying hello, uh, with yeah, sorry, sorry about the audio. I'll keep an eye on making sure that we're not muted there. Okay, chris, do you have any other stories you'd like to share? Bunsen and Beaker or Ginger stories?
Speaker 3:Ginger um all her intimidation tactics. Do not work on bernoulli, no, no zero percent zero percent. Yeah so, and now, um, beaker is like getting in on it where they like triangulate ginger, and then she gets away, and then, if she doesn't, one of us helps out.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we have to rescue Ginger. A couple of times Though, bernoulli and Ginger got into it. This morning I think Ginger bit Bernoulli really hard and then he yelped and he ran away and he hid. So I think maybe he pushed the cat too far and the cat's like enough of this nonsense. I think maybe he pushed the cat too far and the cat's like enough of this nonsense. But then he must have forgot about it because, like you, had to rescue the cat twice today from him, so obviously it's not over.
Speaker 3:The reason why you saw me holding both of them while you were out in the garage filling the food is because Bernoulli was right at the door going, hey, you're out there, what's going on? And then Ginger, of course, was there going, hey, I want to escape. And I was holding Bernoulli and then I had to pick up Ginger and, yeah, that happened. But it's going to be fine, they're going to get used to each other and it's going to all work out.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and you and I are done our craziness Like. Last week, for both of us was one of the most like the, busiest, most stressful weeks of teaching. It's at the end, right before the last day of classes.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I still have a few things to mark.
Speaker 2:Yeah, me too.
Speaker 3:That I'm going to try and do tonight, but yeah, the bulk of it's over. My final exams are in. Yeah, they're all labeled. Yeah, and monday is my math final, so I'm excited for that and be able to mark that and then help out all the other colleagues during the week and exam week.
Speaker 2:And then the last thing I wanted to just give a shout out to and I don't think this they're listening. Why would they? But one of my students gave me a thank you card at the end of the year and when I opened it I just about burst into tears because I wasn't expecting. Like, most thank you cards are like they get it from the store and it's got like a little gift card in there, but this one, the student painted Bunsen, beaker and Bernoulli on the front of the card. Oh, chris has the, chris has it. Ah, and it's just so amazing because wait till you hear what's in it oh.
Speaker 3:Mr Zakowski, thanks for a great semester. I had lots of fun. I really liked all of your bad jokes, hilarious stories and, of course, the Transformers love. Thanks again for all your help answering questions and for the time you took to review unit tests with us. Have a great summer. Yeah, it's super special here's another one that jason got that he didn't publish on twitter I forgot about it actually don't forget about it.
Speaker 2:It's very good so somebody did bunsen and beaker, like the cartoons of them in their lab coats. So for people on audio I'll have to explain it and they got beaker smug face, go ahead smug, beaker, smug, beaker, smug.
Speaker 3:I noticed there's no ginger there where's ginger? I don't know right there I know and then bunsen's got a side eye like too cool for school bunsen. Uh, listen to this one to mred you are amazing, you are awesome. You are the best teacher ever from student. So like ever is massive, best teacher ever. And then PS sorry for standing your counter. So what happened there?
Speaker 2:So whenever kids I tease my high school students like a lot, so it takes them a bit, I think, to realize that I tease them because I care about them and it's a way to build relationships with them. And so this group of students this is a grade nine student that gave me this card, grade nine science honors they were doing a lab and they had a massive spill, because kids are klutzy, right, so they spill this stuff all over the counter. I think it was like a copper salt, like some kind of copper salt, and then it stained the counter and, like I knew, by at the end of the year they use like real wheat, the janitors come through and they use really powerful cleaning products on it and they'd get rid of the stain. But no matter what, how hard these kids scrubbed, the stain remained and I said it's okay, just leave it. And then the next day the stain was still there.
Speaker 2:So I was just bugged. Every day I bugged them about the stain. Um, and then it became a thing like okay, guys, so in this lab we are using this chemical. This chemical, if you get it on your clothes, will stain your clothes or the counter. And then I gave the group of kids that did the staining a little look and everybody laughed. So it was like this fun thing that happened all semester.
Speaker 3:It's now immortalized in a card.
Speaker 2:And immortalized in the counter. Possibly, possibly, we'll see if it comes out at the end of the year.
Speaker 3:Yeah, been there all year, all semester, I don't know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, a bunch of people were wondering about the student and if we were going to sell their artwork or anything like that. I don't think so, so I'll just say that that student is graduating. I'll maybe email them and say there's a lot of interest and you could set up a small business because you're super talented, but it won't be through our account. Okay, anything else, chris? Should we move to community sharing?
Speaker 3:I think moving to community sharing would be great.
Speaker 2:Okay, sounds good. All right, so if you are on spaces, then please just request the mic. We'll bring you up. If you have a question, comment or story, chris and I reserve the right to moderate who comes up. So we do that just to make sure our space stays pg and friendly, and I think jamie hello, would you like to go first?
Speaker 7:hello. Good morning everybody. Hello. It is half past 10 on a Sunday morning here in Townsville and for the tropics so we're at latitude 19. For the tropics, it's been freezing. Freezing Not like three feet deep in snow or anything ridiculous like that, because that'd be crazy Getting down to 10 degrees in the morning, which for us is really bloody full.
Speaker 2:I think it's 10 degrees right now and it's summer for us, Jamie.
Speaker 3:It was one degree at the trade route.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was they. Actually. About a week ago, Jamie, there was a forecast for snow. It could have snowed last weekend, it's crazy talk, Crazy talk.
Speaker 7:Winter in Townsville, I've said before, is crystal clear. Not a cloud in the sky, brilliant blue skies. The dogs wear coats overnight. Rosie gets a coat on just because she's jealous of the other two having a coat on Aw.
Speaker 7:She doesn't really need one. We're snuggling up in the hammock at the moment. She's been helping with the sweeping. She has a broom that she's acquired and she just she's trying to kill this broom. I don't know it's done something to her in a past life, but she's going to kill this broom. But she spent a lot of time in the last couple of days playing with Jackie the chicken, and it's very much a you chase me and then I'll chase you game. And again in winter here it's really dry. We don't get any rain for months during our winter, so there's a lot of dust about. So while they're chasing there's little clouds of dust rising up behind their chasing route. But she's looking for Jackie at the moment because Jackie, of course, is out, because Jackie never goes to bed because she's the outdoor chicken. But Rosie can't be out with the other chickens because Henry the rooster doesn't like it and he'd have big words with it, and the other hens don't like it either. So it's just her and Jackie that get to play.
Speaker 2:So they don't like Rosie doesn't try to eat the chicken.
Speaker 7:No, they just go rah at each other and then rah, rah, and they just chase each other.
Speaker 2:That's hilarious.
Speaker 7:So yes, there we go, Up close and personal with Rosie.
Speaker 2:I love Rosie's ears.
Speaker 7:She's a good girl, yeah, but she's put on her winter fluff underneath, and the river of course hasn't, because river has no fur and Jenna just lives in her jacket, her fur coat, and with you'll laugh at this one. We do have a little wood-fired stove upstairs. It's about the size of a microwave. It's little, can she just camps beside the stove. Thank you very much. I'm an old lady. I'm going to lie here in front of the fire, so that's where we're at with our dogs. It was lovely to see Bernoulli just before. Chris, thank you.
Speaker 2:He's a sweetie.
Speaker 3:Of course he is no problem, thank you.
Speaker 7:He's having a little sleep right now oh, he's so yeah his keys falling out so I was at a music festival last week and people aren't allowed to bring dogs to the festival, but one of the stall holders had a one-year-old english springer spaniel and, oh my god, he was beautiful and every time we saw him we had to get the pat tax from him, and his ears they dangle down below his head. They're just soft. Oh, so cute.
Speaker 4:And yes.
Speaker 2:Thanks, thanks, jamie.
Speaker 3:I love that.
Speaker 2:Okay, I think we'll go to Paula next and then we'll go to Patricia.
Speaker 3:Now, Jason, you haven't invited me to co-host again.
Speaker 2:Are you?
Speaker 3:worried that there will be an echo.
Speaker 2:Yeah, a little bit. I'll invite you to co-host again.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so we'll go to Paula and then Patricia, paula, hello.
Speaker 8:Hi, hi, everybody, how's everybody doing?
Speaker 2:Good, hi, hi everybody, how's everybody doing Good good.
Speaker 8:I really enjoyed seeing Bernoulli. I'm doing dual things, on live here and in regular Twitter spaces, but it's so cute to see him. I swear he's getting bigger and bigger. Do we know poundage this week? I see he went to the first time, right.
Speaker 7:Yeah.
Speaker 8:So was he okay with it, or was he not sure? Or was he? How did the visit go?
Speaker 2:Oh, chris can talk. We talked about that on the podcast in the family section, or Chris did, but Chris no. But yeah, but no, but Chris, go ahead, cause it's actually a really fun story.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's a fun story, so his vet appointment when I I we had taken Bunsen in for an ear check Cause he had a head tilt and this was after and we wanted to get his leg checked out again and so it was just a recall appointment for Bunsen. Um, actually it wasn't, it was. I was there. I said I'd really like to get our puppy when we get Bernoulli Cause I was there with Bunsen like weeks ago and then I said we're getting a puppy, when is their next shots? Because he'll be this age.
Speaker 3:And they're like, oh, we'll book Bernoulli on the blah, blah, blah and I, and they said, oh, bunsen's due too for some vaccinations. So I said, oh great, what's the latest time we can come? And it was 4 20 and I said so I'll bring Bunsen and Bernoulli to the vet and it'll be Bernoulli's first visit with us and Bunsen will just get be there for moral support. So that's fun Driving home, getting the dogs both dogs very quickly, and getting them in the car without having a Ginger shootout and Beaker shootout as well, because Beaker was like hey, something's going on.
Speaker 2:Yeah, how come the Bernice Mountain Dogs are going and I'm getting stuck behind with the cat?
Speaker 3:Yeah, I stuffed them both in our bathroom, in our bedroom, and then I ducked out and opened the door a little bit so Beaker could get back out. She wasn't stuck in the bedroom the whole time, it was a gong show. It was a gong show Anyway. Bedroom the whole time. It was the gong show, it was a gong show anyway.
Speaker 3:Then now I have bernoulli and bunsen in the car and we go to the vet and we get there and everybody's oh my god. And like all the people in the waiting room were like he's so cute, he's so cute. Actually another dog named sasha was there that we know from waggles wagon law, and bunsen went over to her and sasha's a bit of a reactive dog. Her owner is a little bit worried about her being reactive, but because she knows bunsen from wagon play, it was totally fine. But then I'm like trying to do way bernoulli, and then I'm weighing bunsen and they're all like wow, they're doing paws up and bunsen's sitting there and you've got bernoulli's weight anyway.
Speaker 3:So then they whisked us into a room right away and bunsen's, because he gets a little stressed, bunsen desks and so like he hot boxes the room, basically he makes it and turns it into a sauna, which isn't bad for me because I love the heat. But the vet came in was like whoa, it's hot in here. I'm like, yeah, this is like last time when I was here with him and you were looking him over and she's yeah, I know. And then she said, can I just take burley to the back? Because we followed them I love this story.
Speaker 1:story I love this story.
Speaker 3:We and Dr Fiona really wants to meet him, so that's funny. So then away she goes with our little celebrity and they were going and taking selfies with him in the back. She's gone quite a while because I was just hanging out with Bunsen and then she came back. She's like, oh sorry, we were gone so long. We were taking all these pictures and he's back now and he's so cute and we just love him. So that happened. And then she listened to his heart, his breathing, like all that stuff, and he says his lungs is great, his lungs are great.
Speaker 3:He's a good size, he's so cute. And then she gave him his vaccinations and he was like totally fine, like the best boy ever, and okay, so you put the dog up on the counter and there he is, doing all like the little puppy rubs, and he walks over to the little treat jar. They have two treat jars and he just went and he managed to open up the treat jar because he loves treats and he's very food motivated and so because I've never seen a dog open up that treat jar like well, he's, he's relentless. So that happened and, yeah, he, and then bunsen got. I think bunsen was with bordetella, I think that's what it was that he had to get to his. His everything was up to date, except for that bordetella, yeah, and she asked about his leg and we were having a good chat and then away we went oh yeah, I love it.
Speaker 8:that's a great story. I, I wally hey, that's grady's food motivated me because that's trixie. She could eat annie's food too, but she just enough trixie home front. She finished puppy school too and it's a pretty good person, but she just on the Chixie home front. She finished puppy school too and she did a mock-up of an agility course and she did really well. She was getting a little tired at the end but yeah, it was graduation day so we were all excited about that and we're hoping maybe to set up a mock one in the back. And I got some tunnels and some what do you call those poles? I'm going to see if I can start to teach or something. I don't know what.
Speaker 2:but either that or get a skateboard. I saw the video. I used the like post to like your post or quote like I know we have no more likes.
Speaker 8:What is going on with this ex-Twitter or whatever, I don't know, but anyway. But thanks guys for all the Bernoulli love and fun. We've been enjoying it and have a good weekend and early happy Father's Day to you, jason.
Speaker 2:Oh, thanks.
Speaker 8:You're welcome.
Speaker 2:All right, thanks, paula, over to Patricia. Patricia, thanks for waiting, go ahead.
Speaker 6:Hi Greetings from Ireland. Go ahead. Hi, greetings from Ireland. It's 1.37 am and. I yeah, I'm lying in bed here with my dogs. Yeah, it's funny you're talking about trips to the Vesh. I had an unfanned trip to the Vesh with a client's dog today. What they did was they were I guess they were fighting over a stick.
Speaker 4:Okay.
Speaker 6:As me. They're normally really good, but he's a beetle and he's a bit bossy, but I don't know Anyhow. So I had an unplanned trip to the vet. But yeah, no, bernoulli is really cute. Is it male or female? I'm still. I was like he's a male.
Speaker 2:Yeah, bernoulli's really cute. Is it male or female? I'm still. I was like he's a male. Yeah, bernoulli's male yeah.
Speaker 6:Okay, cause I was like, is that a male name or a female name? Not quite. Oh um yeah, he's like the spitting image. It's like Bonson's mini me, I know people said that yeah, and poor Beaker.
Speaker 2:I know People said that.
Speaker 6:Yeah, poor Beaker. I was like, oh my god, he must be like get that thing away from me Definitely the first couple days? Yes, yeah, yeah, yes, I'm pretty tired actually.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry, I should normally be more excited thank you for joining in so late at night yeah, it's crazy, and it's literally been like whoa, because the other dog's name is Buddy.
Speaker 6:So he arrived at half nine in the morning, or, sorry, 30 this morning, and I was like, okay, I need to get my coffee into me before I can have. And he's only 13 months and Skye's like three and a half. So it was just like, oh my god, here we go in the backyard. It was, we'll go, and I was like I need my coffee. I don't care what you two do, I just need coffee. Yeah, I think they wore each other out because we went to a park and there's a really nice kind of community park on our right now and it's cool because it's all enclosed and it's it runs along by the river or whatever and you can close the gates, so that's yeah, that's nice.
Speaker 6:Yeah, it is, and it's free. There's another one as well, not far away, but it's 15 euros for 45 minutes and I'm like whew, that's expensive. So I just go to the free parks and the sky is fine in any park. But the beagle sorry, did you just say something? Sorry, my nose was on something, but he's actually got a really good wee call, shockingly. It's like the first time I looked after him. I was like, oh my god, because I've had beagles before and they're amazing dogs when they're older, but they're a nightmare to train. They're like stubborn. Sorry, did you say something? I don't even have selective hearing.
Speaker 2:I'm just told death. Yeah, I did a thread about the beagle and yeah, they're a harder dog to train because they're so independent. Right, they were bred to go off in the forest and track stuff.
Speaker 6:I had two beagles but they were across with a blue-tip coonhound. They had a lot more kind of coonhound in them but like they were funny I'm talking like pictures of laughing funny and like more of them were so and the dog I have now, skye, she's like a little bit of a cross between the two of them, except for she's way better behaved most of the time. I know I'm going to jinx myself by saying that because she'll do something. Why did you do that? Yeah, like when I got her she was like seven months and had been old training it was, I'd say, say, a good year of nightmares. Just turn trainer it can be. I don't think I'd ever get a puppy again. I'm just like no, I'm done with puppy. But I'm about older dog, like dogs that are three or four. Sure, I just don't think I could do a puppy, definitely not a Bernese mountain dog and they're gorgeous yeah.
Speaker 2:They're a lot of dog but yeah, they're good for our family where we live, with how much winter we have and we do have a lot of space too.
Speaker 6:And that is always a good thing, because actually one of my school friends she had I don't know if she still has them I don't think so or if they've gotten a new one. She had a Bernie Mountain Dog. You don't see too many of them here in Ireland, but the president of Ireland has three of them. He does One of them, yeah, he does, and the dogs have interrupted official events.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I love those videos.
Speaker 6:Yeah, and he's like quite the advocate for the Bernese Mountain Dogs. So there you go. Well, I'm going to shut up talking and try and get some sleep.
Speaker 2:Well, thank you for joining us tonight, patricia, so appreciate it. And yeah, get some sleep.
Speaker 6:Yeah, I see there is an Adrian. Sorry it's.
Speaker 5:Rer's mom, I think as well. So hi to you.
Speaker 6:So, yeah, love it. Oh, that's it. I'll stop talking now, so thanks all right, good night.
Speaker 2:All right, we'll go over to tracy tracy.
Speaker 1:Hello, hi guys, hi hi jones, hope you guys are doing well we are I did make my little tweet about maybe beaker and he's a golden retriever friend that is on every post.
Speaker 2:There's probably three or four of those now, so I think you've started something, tracy yes yes, they're gonna make a power point about how, why we need another puppy. That's a golden retriever oh my goodness, can you imagine a golden retriever, puppy and bernoulli? I don't think we could handle it, chris I don't think we can handle the cuteness.
Speaker 1:You know, jen, and Dingo have two puppies of chaos right now.
Speaker 2:I know Zola and Feta are something else together.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I have my friend who I talked about on Tuesday during side chat, who actually I like work with him too. But we were at work and he showed me somebody had two gray kittens in a carrier so I got to see these like little adorable kittens while I was like at work.
Speaker 2:So that was good. What a good day at work.
Speaker 1:Yes, that's always better when you have some kittens, because it's not, I don't know. Sometimes people like put their dogs in carts. Don't really like that, I'd rather they be on a leash. But that's just me. These kittens were in the carrier and they were very cute. And then Ricky's just me. These kittens were in the carrier and they were very cute. And then Ricky's doing well. He's still getting all the wet food he wants. He has his adoption day. His eighth year with me is on Tuesday. Okay, so it'll be eight years together on Tuesday.
Speaker 2:Amazing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and he's doing good and totally and getting all his wet food, so he's a happy boy oh, I'm so happy.
Speaker 2:Thanks, tracy. What a great, what a good update all right, thanks guys you bet um?
Speaker 2:I'm just going to go over to a question on our live um and that's from kelly's asking what's norbert up to? Um? So we have some new norbert footage. Not very much, but he knocked down another massive tree down by lake norbert, which was named by twitter, so he's still working away. It looks like he's making a third dam, like getting ready to make a third dam, which is interesting and cool. So to answer your question there, kelly, yeah, norbert is still doing Norbert stuff down there and we took Bernoulli down to see all of the operation. You can look for that video on the pup date on Monday. Okay, we'll go to Cottage, cottage Oven. Go ahead, cottage Oven.
Speaker 4:Hello.
Speaker 2:Hello there.
Speaker 4:Hello, yeah, just wondering if there's any progress in getting the Newfoundland puppy.
Speaker 2:I tried. I tried so hard. I think the compromise was another burner. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4:Well, just you mentioned Norbert there. Have you thought about setting up an ongoing live webcam for Norbert?
Speaker 2:setting up a, an ongoing live webcam for norbert. That's a that's a common comment, like question. The problem is that it's way beyond like where wi-fi would be, so I'd need some kind of like, much more expensive camera to hook into a live feed. Right, a lot of the live feeds are within civilization so they can capture wifi, whereas that would be I would. I've looked into it, I like I've actually looked into it. You can get wildlife cameras, but you'd need to get a cell phone plan for them, like they'd have to be their own cell phone, um, and they're too far for just an ethernet table.
Speaker 2:That'd be a heck of that would be a heck of an ethernet cable, though. I'm sure, though I'm sure in some random building there's like two kilometer long ethernet cable somebody's got.
Speaker 4:I'm a portrait, some long ones in the past, not quite that long, but I remember one place that I work we also had some stuff with some fiber and we used to have a running joke that the easiest tool to find a buried fiber optic cable was a backhoe.
Speaker 2:Oh man, and then nobody has internet.
Speaker 4:Good for me, but thank you, great Thanks for me, but thank you Great Thanks for the question.
Speaker 2:Okay, we didn't do our little ad for Bark and Beyond, so I'm just going to do that to remind everybody about Bark and Beyond Supplycom. So just give me one second to load my music. One of the sponsors of Pet Chat today is bark and beyond supplycom. Bark and beyond supplycom is a small family-owned company that has amazing joint supplements for dogs. In fact, they're so amazing they like sold out. I know this because they were talking about it the other day. They have tons of toys and treats and dog mom, dog dad, dad, cat mom, cat dad wear.
Speaker 2:So skip the big box, skip the big box store and help out the little guy. You can always use the code Bunsen to save yourself a little bit of money at BarkAndBeyondSupplycom, and we want to help them out as much as possible. So if you're thinking about getting anything for your pet, we would love for you to check out BarkingBeyondSupplycom. Our order from them should be here in the next couple days, so we're really excited about that. Okay, I'm not sure where Chris has gone. Maybe she's wrangling animals, but we're at the end. Oh, you're back, is everything good?
Speaker 3:Yeah, I just can't find Ginger.
Speaker 2:We're at the end oh, you're back, is everything good? Yeah, I just can't find Ginger.
Speaker 3:Oh, she's fine, she's probably hiding from it over. No, she's downstairs.
Speaker 2:What she's probably downstairs with down here. Okay, yeah, it's all good. Oh, there's one more request. Just let me double check. Boom, okay, they're full, so we'll add them in and the winnie go ahead. Sorry, I missed your request. I missed that there.
Speaker 5:Go ahead, and there we go, received a bark and beyond package this week and I thought the dog was going to chew my hand off before I was able to open it. She's very pleased with her toys. That's one thing I do. Bark and Beyond they're great. And the other is that I had ankle surgery two months ago and I've had a dog walker who asked me is there a reason why the dog sits in the shade but won't walk in the sun? And I just smiled and said I think she's pulling a fast one because she doesn't want to walk in the heat. It's noontime, so come earlier. Those are my two things to say. My two things can say so.
Speaker 2:Yeah, our Bunsen does not like to walk in the heat either, and and he um like, unless Chris is on the walk, he, he will refuse to come. He'll just stay in the shade, he won't come.
Speaker 5:Yeah, Milk has apparently sat down and wouldn't he laid down and said, no, not going unless you're going home. So that's fine with me. She's no dummy.
Speaker 2:You know I wouldn't want to walk in the heat either, so I'm good with walking in the nice cool morning. That's the best time to walk.
Speaker 5:Exactly so. Thank you so much for your updates and all the rest.
Speaker 2:Thanks, anne. Thank you All right. Last call for speakers or questions. Comments from live. So Diane from Facebook says the artist did really capture the nest of the pack, so that was in reference to that was in reference to the card from a student, and I think I've got most of the comments from live. There's a whole bunch of you watching. Thank you, and everybody on space is thank you. Last call for anybody that would like to speak or make a comment and I'll check through the comments online here. Bianca Spaniel, ears are the best. Yes, I think all dog ears are the best minutes feedback on audio. It's awful. Oh sorry, dr tracy, I wonder if it was one from one of our speakers about 16 minutes ago. It could have happened. Okay, so I'm not seeing anything. Um, so we're gonna. We're gonna do our draw. Bark and beyond has a gift certificate for somebody. So somebody in the space oh, ginger chris has found ginger.
Speaker 3:You found ginger, chris somehow she got in the garage she's in the garage oh I don't know, she is very, very quick.
Speaker 2:There you go.
Speaker 3:She's like Houdini.
Speaker 2:I know it's better now that Bernoulli is more capable to go outside by himself, but she was very opportunistic. When you're holding a giant puppy and trying to go outside, that's when Ginger would make her escape. She was pretty opportunistic about it. Outside, that's when ginger was would make her escape. She was pretty opportunistic about it. Okay, so if you're watching us live, drop a comment and we'll put you in the draw and, of course, if you're listening live on audio, you're in the draw automatically. So in the next minute or so, drop a comment and then I'll make sure your name is in. Okay, thank you, tk.
Speaker 2:And chris is gonna do some stuff with bernoulli live while we. We wait. He's. Actually it's surprising how much bigger he's gotten. I did a little two-week time lapse, uh, that I posted on social media. Um, he's not as big as beaker, but I think he's like another two weeks he's going to be the size of Beaker, like he's. I swear he's doubled in size. Okay, it looks like just TK. Oh, and Mooney commented there we go, but Ann's in both places at the same time. Um, and then, oh, jamie, just jamie's watching live. Jamie just typed ginger because she was happy the cat was there. Sorry, I thought okay, so we're gonna do the draw, for I think that's 30 people. Okay, it looks like there's way more than that watching live, but that's all I know. Random number 30 perfect, should do t 4, 8, 12, 16, 20. That is the winner today is karen, mayor. Hashtag ugly dogs. Katie, mayor, congratulations, you've won the 20 gift certificate from Bark and Beyond Supplycom. Congratulations. So, karen, just contact Bark and Beyond for your prize. All right, chris, any closing words?
Speaker 3:I'm just very glad that I found Ginger.
Speaker 6:Okay words. I'm just very glad that I found ginger.
Speaker 3:Okay, because she is such an escape artist when I let the dogs out on the deck, she wants to go. So I was worried that she scooted out and I didn't see, and then she would be out in the world, in the universe I wonder if adam left through the garage and that's how she got out, or something weird like that.
Speaker 2:Or he went out to the van to get something while you were talking and then that's how she got out. That's my guess.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, all right, so let's do our little wrap up. Thank you.
Speaker 3:I just wanted to thank everybody for coming.
Speaker 1:Go ahead.
Speaker 3:And then I'm very glad that Ginger's found it's been a great week and we love hanging out with you and sharing our stories and hearing your stories and building this community together. And I'm really glad that you like Bernoulli and that you support our other dogs as well Bunsen and Beaker, because they are the amazing dogs that we had prior to Bernoulli.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, it's not like we're ignoring them. Bernoulli's cute and all and he's pretty amazing, but Bunsen and Beaker are still really special too. One fun thing Beaker is getting a lot more cuddly with the humans. I think she's trying to soak up any attention she gets. So if somebody's on the couch, she comes and lays on you and puts her head right in your lap and looks at you. It's very sweet, but it's also extremely manipulative. So good job, beaker, for trying to get all the attention. It's pretty cute. Oh, did you have to rescue the cat? Oh, okay, so we have this thing. Did you have to rescue the cat? Oh, okay, so no we have this thing.
Speaker 2:I know.
Speaker 3:Where you put peanut butter in the middle and then it looks like Use your imagination it looks like legs, and then, yeah, anyway, peanut butter in there.
Speaker 2:It's a very unfortunate design. It's a very unfortunate design.
Speaker 3:It's an unfortunate design Anyway. So I had given Bunsen and Beaker this very unfortunate design. It's a very unfortunate design. It's an unfortunate design anyway. So I had given bunsen and beaker this, and now bernoulli is playing with that chick he loves that squeaky chicken that he squeaky chicken, yeah, so it's so loud shenanigans happening here it's so loud a bit of shenanigans.
Speaker 2:I'm so sorry all the toys he just goes to town on it. It's such a loud toy. Okay, we'll see everybody next week for a pet chat. Take care everybody.
