0:00.0	Hello, guys. Kind of starting off this episode on a bit of a somber, sad note today. We had to put Holly down two days ago now. And it's just sad.
0:17.7	17 years old. 16. Well, she was growing on 17.
0:22.3	Yes, she was.
0:23.7	She had completed 16 years, and she's now rolling into her 17th year.
