1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda in the morning.

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 2: All of the things over here this summer that really

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 2: bruised our hearts the most, I think was a loss

4
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 2: of our wildlife in particular. Koalas Port Macquarie Kohala Hospital

5
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 2: became famous all around the world, and now you can

6
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 2: have a virtual excursion of the hospital with our favorite

7
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 2: vet doctor Chris Brown, who joins us right now. Good morning, Chris,

8
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 2: good morning, How are you very well? Before we get

9
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 2: to the koalas can I ask you about Minnie? Actually

10
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:30,639
Speaker 2: you've seen a bit of Minnie lately. She's been on

11
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 2: the set of The Living Room and Angles.

12
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 3: So now you're putting the dog on the living Room? Yeah,

13
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 3: I never get on that show, but you get the dog.

14
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 3: What else going to put on? The dog's coming on

15
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 3: the show?

16
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 1: If you needed your glands expressed.

17
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 2: Are you prepared to eat a dog cake as my

18
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 2: dog did.

19
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 3: Whatever it takes for me to get on the Living Room,

20
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 3: I'll get my glands. Squeeze dog cake.

21
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 2: My question is this, Chris, when I it's Harley as well?

22
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 2: The dog idolizes Harley, but happens to us both when

23
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 2: we get up from the couch or wherever we're sitting,

24
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 2: she will jump up where we've been. When I get

25
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 2: up to go to work in the morning, if she's

26
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 2: sleeping on the floor in the bedroom, she'll jump up

27
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 2: and lie down pretty much on my pillow. Is this

28
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 2: a dominance thing? Or someone said to me, And I

29
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 2: think this is much nicer that in the wild. It's

30
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 2: a favor. They're doing it because they're covering your scent.

31
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 2: What's what's the story it looks?

32
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: I want to I want to give give the most spiritual,

33
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 1: most beautiful answer. Most likely it's just a walk. It's

34
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: that you're going to leave a nice warm spot for

35
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: a light, but also by putting her scent on you,

36
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: and that can be something as simple as just your

37
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: sweat or just your your skiven beautiful, your skin secretion.

38
00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: Thank you. Then then essentially she becomes part of your

39
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: or your little team, and she feels closer to you

40
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,639
Speaker 1: because for a dog, sent she is is ninety percent

41
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: of things. You know that for us, vision is is

42
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: such a big part of our lives. Seeing things is

43
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: believing them, But for a dog's smelling them is believing them.

44
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: And and they're getting close to your set and your walks.

45
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: She feels feels more connected.

46
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 2: That's nice. So it's not a dominance thing. It's not

47
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 2: rack off. I'm here now, not at all.

48
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: No, no, no, And and look I've seen many mini's loss.

49
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: The sort of dog that would that would ever aspire

50
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: to be to be the number one. She's a team player.

51
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: She she wants to to be part of something bigger

52
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: because she is bigger.

53
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 3: Enough of the weight jokes, come on, So what you're

54
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 3: saying because she's in it for the secretions, that's he is.

55
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: And I mean she's she's put asight enough for this

56
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 1: winter and about six weeks it's to come.

57
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 3: Are you doing about many or are you talking about

58
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 3: many or Amanda? It's kind of blurred.

59
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:58,519
Speaker 1: Only many.

60
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 3: The poor mccauch a quarry Koala hospital. That's been amazing

61
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 3: the case of how many Koalas do they end up

62
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 3: getting into the hospital.

63
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: It was nearly it was nearly a hunger, I think,

64
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: and you know, considering the Yeah, the sad thing is

65
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: that a lot of Koalas dun the fire just just

66
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: didn't survive because their defense mechanism under threat is to

67
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,399
Speaker 1: is to climb higher, which only puts them into into

68
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: more and more danger with in the fire. So the

69
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: general thinking was for everyone that was rescued that you

70
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: lost about fifty, so that that gives you a sparence

71
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: of just how many how many they actually lost up there,

72
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: and it really across the states, across the stadia. So yeah,

73
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: the great thing about it still excursion, the ritual school

74
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: excursion is it does get school to watch it from

75
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: final four a cough. But you're also going to see

76
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: a koala release back to the wild. And this particular

77
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: choala was rescued by passing motorists who saw it trying

78
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: to escape to blows and and and so it took

79
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: the took it, took their own life into their hands

80
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: and and picked it up and helped it out. And

81
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: this one goes back to the back to the wild

82
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: on Friday.

83
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 2: When you say going back to the wild, what's it

84
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 2: going back to? Will it's family be there? Will it

85
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 2: need that kind of stuff?

86
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, Look, hopefully you know, since since the fiers, we've

87
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: had a decent amount of rain and the reglace, the

88
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: re emergence of the books has been has been quite impressible,

89
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: and so they are we've been waiting this long to

90
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: release it, just to to make sure it did have

91
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: enough habitat to go back to. And and you know

92
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: that the extended family units are going to be there

93
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: and qualit breeding season usually yising until about about August

94
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: till September, so there's got enough time to re establish

95
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: those connections and and then and then we'll hopefully look

96
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: look to breed, which is which is really the priority

97
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: right now?

98
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,640
