We're talking about the annual pause on the 70 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: promenade at C Point Promenade. 71 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 2: Now, let's talk about etiquette. 72 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: Let's talk about protocol because there are some undersocialized dogs 73 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: and may I add undersocialized dog owners that are going to. 74 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 2: Be taking to the propendade. What are the rules? 75 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 3: So arrive in time to leave at nine and then 76 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 3: somebody cuts the ribbon, and you're right. We like dogs 77 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 3: to be there that are socialized, that are used to 78 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 3: having excitement around them, because you can imagine it's a 79 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 3: great atmosphere and the dogs as well pick up on that. 80 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 3: And so we find that if people arrive and it's 81 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 3: too overwhelming for their dogs and they just quietly walk 82 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 3: off in a different direction along the promenade because it 83 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 3: has so many opportunities for them. We do have veterinary 84 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 3: doctors there, We do have lots of volunteers there to 85 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 3: help with just keeping the dogs happy and you know, 86 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 3: focused on the fun elements. We also have water spots 87 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 3: along the way, so we'll have like little bars that 88 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 3: the dogs can dip their their home, their whole cells 89 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 3: into it's always fun along the way and we have 90 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 3: watering holes. And the thing is that it is a 91 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 3: five kilometer walk to the pool and back, but people 92 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 3: don't have to walk the whole five kilometers walk to 93 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 3: Keileevet and turned back or any distance. They're like, it's 94 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 3: just a lovely fun stroll. And then at the start 95 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 3: and the end place, which is because it's the circular walk, 96 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,799 Speaker 3: we'll have food tracks and we'll have other lifestyle tracks, 97 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 3: things for doggies, treats, toys, any kind of accessory items 98 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 3: for dogs as well, so it's a very dog focused 99 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 3: and dog lover focused event. 100 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 2: Are the dogs leash? 101 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 3: Yes, they absolutely have to be on a leash every 102 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 3: dog that comes through. And also all the children need 103 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 3: to be supervised with an adult, so it's not a 104 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 3: place where you drop your kids off for the morning 105 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 3: and head off. And the fabulous thing is at the 106 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 3: moly Point Lighthouse.
