Yeah, silly little things. We never had 17 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 3: guinea pigs as pets on well, we had every other 18 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 3: pet you could think of, but we did not have 19 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 3: those little fellows sitting out on the lawn at all, 20 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 3: not really like I mean, I remember the little duckling 21 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 3: floating around in my laundry tub. And we had a 22 00:00:58,440 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 3: beautiful angre a rabbit. 23 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 2: Bugs. We had all the bugs. What a cute name. 24 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 3: He was gorgeous. 25 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 1: They have the best floppy years. 26 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 3: He was just beautiful. And the kids fed the calves 27 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 3: and they feed the lambs, and like we did. We 28 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 3: had a pet deer that used to come into the 29 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 3: kitchen until they sort of starting it stopping. We had 30 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 3: to put him out. But we had everything the horses. 31 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 3: I'd tide was allergic to the horses. So where you 32 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 3: had everything not pigs pig digit. 33 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, my first pet. I got one and called it 34 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: Ashley for some random reason. 35 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 3: Uh. 36 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: And then we were told by the breeder, oh, no, 37 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 1: you need to have more than one because there are 38 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: companion pets. They need buddies. So then we got two more, 39 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 1: so it was it was three and there was a 40 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: black and white one named her Pepsi, and then a 41 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: orange and white one named her Fenter. And what they 42 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: don't tell you is is just how much they eat, 43 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: and especially the grass. So you've got this hutch that 44 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: we put out on the lawn and you had to 45 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: move it practically every day because they were just chew away. 46 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: How much they poop with the we with the we 47 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: palettes too, and also how quick they are. And they 48 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: gave us a wee scare, a couple of times where 49 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: you take them out of the hutch, you know, to 50 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: give them a wee pat, and then all of a 51 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: sudden you'd lose grip and to be on the lawn 52 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: and boom away like a rocket. 53 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, but very cute. And so it was Alice going 54 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 3: to get after the show. 55 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:27,959 Speaker 1: Well that's when I'm a little nervous about taking you 56 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: out there. But potentially we'll have to have to play 57 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:32,639 Speaker 1: that one. 58 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 2: Boy. 59 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny because you know, of all the the 60 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: fun memories from the guinea pigs, the one that that 61 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,559 Speaker 1: comes to mind, it was also my first real experience 62 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: of death. This is quite a grim tie back to 63 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: last week. I guess, not so much in that sense 64 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: because I remember no, but I guess the one that 65 00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:00,079 Speaker 1: I was really emotionally attached because the guinea pigs. But 66 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: Ashley was the first to go because she was the 67 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 1: oldest one. I remember hosting my first animal funeral and 68 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: it was down the back of the main lawn and 69 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: you know, I set up the ceremony site how do 70 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: we cross that I made with branches and twine that 71 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: I tied together, even made Ashley we wouldn't casket and 72 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 1: you can only imagine how thrilled staunch farmer Dad Mark 73 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: was when he was invited to my Gidda Pig's funeral 74 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: and then invited to share some words. I made everybody 75 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: get up there and share a speech. 76 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 3: Love well done. 77 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, and then there was the burial out back. I 78 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: suppose what Sourd's things in the end is I didn't 79 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: obviously dig the hole deep enough, so the farm dog 80 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: managed to find the loose dird afterwards, and ah, that 81 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: can be. But you know, Ashley was already gone at 82 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,839 Speaker 1: that stage, so certainly wasn't like a lambtail are super quick. 83 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: Do you do you notice that the norwister changes your mood? 84 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 3: Ah, without a doubt.
