Thank you so much for your amazing idea. 16 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,520 Speaker 1: I wonder what I should name my birthday present, asked 17 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: Levi to himself as he was dudling in a notebook 18 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: at the kitchen table a few weeks before his birthday. 19 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: Did I hear you right? Your naming your birthday presence now? 20 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: Asked his dad with a smile. Well like Freddy the 21 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: frisbee or Sarah the soccer ball. No, Dad, that would 22 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 1: be ridiculous, Levi replied, I'm getting a new pet for 23 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: my birthday, and that pet will have the coolest name ever. 24 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 1: Levi's dad heard his son talk about getting a new 25 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,759 Speaker 1: pet for quite a while now, and he was always 26 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: quick to let him know that it wasn't definite because 27 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 1: they didn't know if a new pet would work in 28 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,479 Speaker 1: their house at that time. There are lots of pets 29 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: to choose from and they are all a big responsibility. 30 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: Even though he knew it may not happen, Levi gave 31 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,639 Speaker 1: it a lot of thought. He called it wishful thinking. 32 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: Levi had been thinking about a new pet for months 33 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: and months. In fact, with his birthday coming up, he 34 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 1: thought it could be the perfect opportunity to make his 35 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: wish a reality. Yes, it's true that Levi had a 36 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: fish and there were some squirrels that lived in his 37 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: backyard who seemed to like him quite a bit, But 38 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: Levi wanted a new pet. He wanted a pet he 39 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: could do things with a pet that would be his 40 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: best buddy. But Levi knew he couldn't just go out 41 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: and buy himself a pet. Living in a family meant 42 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: you needed to take everyone else into consideration when bringing 43 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: a new pet. Into the house, and there was certainly 44 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: a lot to consider. 45 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 2: Dad. 46 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: How cool would it be to have a lizard, or 47 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 1: a turtle or a snake? Said Levi with a big 48 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: smile on his face. LEVI, you know, I think those 49 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: animals are super cool, but your mom would never Levi's 50 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: dad almost finished his sentence before Levi's mom interrupted. Did 51 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: I hear you say snake? Levi said his mom, racing 52 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: into the kitchen. No way, there will be no snakes 53 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: at all in this house, or turtles or lizards. I 54 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: don't even want to think about it. Levi's mom was 55 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,679 Speaker 1: very scared of snakes and didn't let the conversation get 56 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: any further than just the thought of one joining their family. 57 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: Levi was very sensitive to everyone's thoughts on the topic 58 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: of a new pet, and he quickly switched gears and 59 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: hoped that his mom would be on his side with 60 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: his next suggestion. You're right, Mom, What was I thinking? 61 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: Said Levi? How a ba a sweet little kitty, or 62 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: a puppy or a cute floppy eared bunny. Levi's mom 63 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 1: couldn't help but smile thinking about those cute, cuddly bunnies, 64 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 1: but just hearing all those animals in one sentence, made 65 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: Levi's dad start sneezing. 66 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 2: H shoot, no way, Levi. 67 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: You know I'm allergic, said Levi's dad as he grabbed 68 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: a tissue. Sorry, buddy, we could never get one of 69 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,799 Speaker 1: those furry animals as a pet. Isn't that fish you've 70 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: got good enough? He's very friendly and swims really fast, 71 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: and I think I saw him smile at me the 72 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: other day. Levi gave a little smile, even though he 73 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: was very disappointed by how this conversation was going. Of course, 74 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: he couldn't get a pet without his parents' help, and unfortunately, 75 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: as he talked more about it, it seemed that he 76 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: was running out of animals to suggest. Just then, Ivy 77 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: walked into the kitchen. Are we talking about Levi wanting 78 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: a new pet again, I've asked, as she grabbed an apple. 79 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: We sure are, Levi said, hoping that maybe Ivy would 80 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: help him and think of a good animal that everyone 81 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: could agree on. How about a bird, said Ivy with 82 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: a smile. I could teach it how to talk and 83 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: say things like Ivy is the best, Ivy is the coolest, 84 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: and Ivy is the queen of the house. Ivy laughed 85 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 1: and laughed as she looked at Levi waiting for his response. Definitely, 86 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 1: no animals that can talk, said Levi as he went 87 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: back to dooling his notebook, trying to come up with 88 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: an animal that would work for everyone. Levi, I know 89 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: you'll get lots of great things for your birthday, so 90 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: please don't be so focused on getting a pet, Okay, 91 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: asked Levi's mom as she walked into the living room. 92 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: She's right, buddy, I just don't think that a new 93 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: pet is a good fit for our family right now, 94 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 1: added his dad. I'm not saying it will never happen. 95 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: I just think we have to think about it a 96 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: bit more, Okay, said Levi, sounding a little bit let 97 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: down and discouraged. However, it didn't stop him from drawing 98 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 1: a few more animals in his notebook before closing it 99 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 1: for the day and heading outside. When he got there, 100 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: his friends Nana, Charlie, and Dash were already waiting for him. Hey, Levi, 101 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 1: only ten more days till your birthday, said Nana excitedly. 102 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,919 Speaker 1: We can't wait for your birthday. We can't wait for 103 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 1: your party, added Charlie. Your mom makes the best cupcakes 104 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: this year. I'm gonna try and eat like ten of them. Wow, 105 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: is that part of my gift? Laughed Levi as he 106 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: walked towards his friends. I can't wait to play with 107 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: I mean, watched you open all your cool gifts, said 108 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: Dash as he grabbed the soccer ball from the front 109 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 1: yard and dribbled it around. Yeah, it'll be a pretty 110 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: great party, said Levi unconvincingly. Then why do you look 111 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: like you're in the middle of a math test right now? 112 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: Added Nana. You don't look happy at all. No, it's 113 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: not that I'm not excited for my birthday and my 114 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: party and having you and all my other friends and 115 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: family celebrate together. It's just I don't think i'll be 116 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: getting the thing I really want, began Levi. Do you 117 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 1: mean a new pet, Charlie. Wow, you've been talking about 118 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: getting a new pet forever, said Dash. I hope you 119 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: don't talk about it in front of your fish. I 120 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: think that would make him feel bad. I know I 121 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: love my fish, but I just want something new, A 122 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: pet that I can interact with a bit more, a 123 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 1: pet to be friends with my fish, said Levi. But 124 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,919 Speaker 1: after the talk I just had with my parents, I 125 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: am pretty sure, that's not happening anytime soon. Nala, Charlie 126 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: and Dash saw how upset their friend was and tried 127 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: to change the subject quickly. They didn't want to see him, 128 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: so sad Nala suggested that they play soccer, and since 129 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: that was Levi's favorite sport, he was all about it. 130 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 1: As the weeks went by, Levi's birthday party approached quickly. 131 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: His party this year was going to be on his 132 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: actual birthday, which was pretty exciting. To keep his spirits up, 133 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 1: his parents tried to steer him away from talking about 134 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: a new pet as the big day drew near. Anytime 135 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 1: the subject of a new pet came up, they tried 136 00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: to focus Levi on some other things he wanted for 137 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: his birthday, like a new soccer goal for the backyard, 138 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,679 Speaker 1: a new scooter, and some cool basketball sneakers. Then before 139 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: they knew it, Levi's birthday was hours away. I can't 140 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: believe your birthday is tomorrow, Levi said his dad as 141 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: Levi was getting ready for bed. I hope you have 142 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: a great birthday dream tonight. Now get some sleep because 143 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: we have a super fun day tomorrow. Good night, birthday, buddy, 144 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: Good night, dad, said Levi. As he hopped into bed. 145 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: Of course, he was very excited about his party and 146 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: celebrating with his family and friends. He was happy and 147 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: looking forward to his mom's special birthday cupcakes and all 148 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: the fun party activities she and his dad had planned. However, 149 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: in the back of his mind, Levi couldn't stop thinking 150 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: about a new pet and how he knew he wasn't 151 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: getting one. Levi just laid in bed and quietly said 152 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: to himself as he started to drift off to sleep, 153 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: if I could have just one birthday wish come true 154 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: this year, it would be that I get a new pet, 155 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: the pet that I have circled in my notebook. Then 156 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:06,119 Speaker 1: Levi yawned and stretched and fell asleep. The morning arrived quickly, 157 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: with Levi's mom, dad, and Ivy standing around his bed 158 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: singing Happy Birthday. The morning continued with gifts and a 159 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: special birthday breakfast, which Levi loved, but there was no 160 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: new pet. I haven't made my real birthday wish on 161 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: my birthday candle yet, thought Levi to himself as he 162 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: got ready for his party. So I still have a 163 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: chance to get that new pet. Maybe. The day went 164 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: on and Levi had an amazing time at his party, 165 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: so much so that for a while he wasn't even 166 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: thinking about a new pet. There were fun games, cool prizes, 167 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 1: delicious sweet treats, and everyone he loved celebrating with him. 168 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: He felt so special on his big day. But what 169 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: Levi didn't know was that he was about to feel 170 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: even more special because a big surprise was headed his way. 171 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:56,079 Speaker 1: Happy birthday, dear Levi, Happy birthday to you, saying all 172 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: of Levi's friends and family as he blew out the 173 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 1: candles on his cake. Thank you everyone so much for 174 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: being here today, said Levi. I don't know how this 175 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 1: day could get any better. Well we do, said Nalla. 176 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: She nudged Charlie and Dash. They all smiled and put 177 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: their grand surprise into motion. Levi ate his cake and 178 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 1: then showed some friends the new scooter he got from 179 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,319 Speaker 1: his parents that morning. And they got me the coolest 180 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: basketball sneakers and a new soccer goal to go in 181 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 1: the backyard. You'll have to come over tomorrow after we 182 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 1: set it up, Levi said, with a huge smile. Levi 183 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: then ran over to thank his mom and dad one 184 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: more time for the great party and all the great 185 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: gifts they had given him. We're so happy you love 186 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: your party, said his mom, even if there was one 187 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: thing missing. I know I talked about wanting a pet 188 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: for a while, but I totally understand that it just 189 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 1: didn't work out for this birthday, said Levi. It's really okay, 190 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: But maybe for Christmas. Levi laughed and hugged his mom 191 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: and dad. Yes, maybe for Christmas, said his mom and dad. 192 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: Or how about right now, said Nala, Charlie and Dash, 193 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: who were standing behind Levi with a big box covered 194 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: in birthday wrapping paper with a few holes punched into 195 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: the sides. Levi's eyes got big, and all of a sudden, 196 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: he thought back to the birthday wish he had made 197 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: when he blew out his candles. What is that? Levi said, 198 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: with great excitement as he jumped up and down. No way, 199 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: it couldn't be right. It couldn't be what I think 200 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,719 Speaker 1: it is. I guess you'll have to open up the 201 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: box and find out, said Nala with a smile. 202 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 2: Happy birthday, Levi. 203 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: Charlie and Dash gently put the box on the ground, 204 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: and Levi, with a large crowd forming around him, opened 205 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: the box and what he saw next was everything he 206 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: wished for No way, shouted Levi in a whisper as 207 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: he gently lifted a brown and white guinea pig out 208 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 1: of the box and held it up in front of everyone. 209 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 1: He hugged and cuddled the little guinea pig as he 210 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: turned to his three friends. I can't believe you did this, 211 00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: said Levi as a wave of panic washed over him. Oh, no, hearings. 212 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: Did you talk to my parents about this before you 213 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: bought this little guy? Of course we did, Levi replied, Charlie, 214 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: don't worry at all, added Dash, We've been planning this 215 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 1: with your parents for a month. Levi. You're the best, 216 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 1: and we all knew how badly you wanted a pet. 217 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: Nala began. We told your parents we wanted to save 218 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: our money and buy you on for your birthday, and 219 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: they agreed. We made sure our choice was okay with them, 220 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: and the rest is your new guinea pig, laughed Charlie. 221 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: How did you figure out this was the exact pet 222 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: I wanted? Levi asked. We always see you drawing your 223 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: possible pet choices in your notebook, so one day while 224 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: we were at school, we took a look in your notebook. 225 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: While you were playing soccer at recess, said Dash. We 226 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: noticed you kept drying guinea pigs over and over, said Nana, 227 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 1: And the last page had a brown and white one 228 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: circled with stars all around it, so we figured that 229 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 1: was probably the number one pet on your list, said Charlie. Wow, 230 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: thanks so much, exclaimed Levi to his friends and his 231 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,959 Speaker 1: mom and dad. Ivy was also super excited and told 232 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: Levi if she promised not to teach the guinea pig 233 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: to talk, could she please help take care of it? Absolutely, 234 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: Levi said, before asking Dad, are you sure you won't 235 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: sneeze your head off with our new friend in the house. 236 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: Definitely not, Buddy. I even went down to the pet 237 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: store and spent some time with him before your friends 238 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: bought him, and no sneezing at all, answered Levi's dad. 239 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 1: Well this is now by far the best birthday I've 240 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: ever had, said Levi with a big smile.

Car Nash. 245 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 1: Carnash asked Nana. I mean, it's your choice, but that's 246 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: certainly a unique name. I wanted to name him after 247 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: the three friends that gave him to me, smiled Levi. 248 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: Oh I get it, Charlie, Nana, and Dash said Nana. 249 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 1: Very cool.
