47
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,000

115
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,000

116
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,520

117
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,880

119
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 2: and a lama. And I know Doctor Doolittle, but I'd

120
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 2: say the animals are having the time of their life

121
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 2: jumping on Christmas trees.

122
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 5: And they nibble on the bark, they nibble on the needles.

123
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 5: They get a little minty fresh prep.

126
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,320

00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 2: sheep find them tasty.

128
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 5: They can go through those pretty quickly. We save the skeletons,

129
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 5: as I call them. They're pretty bare looking at the end,

130
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 5: and we grind them up and use that as chips

131
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 5: for our four and a half miles of walking trails.

132
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 2: As long as your tree doesn't have any sprays on it,

133
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,800

134
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 2: a naturally wormer.

135
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,040
