Speaker 2: You know, the glass is there and can you just

99
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 2: so No, there's no way I'm getting that. So we

100
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 2: had to find a cattery or we were going to

101
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 2: spend Christmas alone. And my parents have been Christmas alone

102
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 2: and that just was really sad.

103
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: What do you what are you going to do?

104
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 3: So we just rang around.

105
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: We I did catteries near us, and I just broadened

106
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 2: the search and we got wider and.

107
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: Wider from the house and now you're in what we

108
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: looked in a oh wow.

109
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 3: I'm talking which is pretty close to Hamilton.

110
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, and we live north.

111
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, so no, no, I ended up finding one

112
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 2: out west and a lovely place and managed to get

113
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: in like just on the dates, we're like, oh my god,

114
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 2: this is great booked too, man. And we were doing

115
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 2: this all in front of Rolly and you know, like

116
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 2: with a dog, you never say w A l K.

117
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 3: You don't say walk or trick or anything. You gotta

118
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 3: spell it out because they know.

119
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: It's like you never get out the cat carrier case

120
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: when you're taking him.

121
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 2: They go, yeah, So Rolli hates the cattery, he absolutely

122
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 2: hates it. And that's the thing wrong. And Eron had

123
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 2: been like, we need to find a good place. I

124
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,239
Speaker 2: was like, he'll hate it if it's like five thousand

125
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 2: dollars a day, you know. Anyway, So we did this

126
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 2: all in front of him on the phone, and I

127
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,799
Speaker 2: felt like he was a little bit stroppy.

128
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 3: He knew, he knew.

129
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 2: So what I did is I pulled out a little cushion.

130
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 2: We were sitting outside and the sun was shining for

131
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 2: half an hour, so we were enjoying it. I put

132
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 2: it a little cushion and he was on it like

133
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 2: a little thing, and I read him a little bit

134
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 2: of the things that he has to look forward to.

135
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: I went on the Meadow Farm catterie website and I said,

136
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 2: listen to this, more like.

137
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: You're telling your kids what they're going to get at dress.

138
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 2: I said, my darling, listen to this, you get excited.

139
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,480

144
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 2: you love birds. Yeah, but I'm not telling him that. Yeh,

145
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 2: I'm selling him the picture of his holiday and the

146
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 2: dogs Kennel's rule. They go in, the dogs run around

147
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 2: mad and they sleep in the thing. But then they

148
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 2: get but cats you can't leave, and they never come back.

149
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: It might have actually just been cheaper to pay to

150
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: wank at your house, and.

151
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:44,400

152
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 2: I wonder Rollie was hissing at you batting that thing

153
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 2: about it.

154
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:57,240
