This is an encore episode of Ask Me Another.

From NPR and WNYC, coming to you from beautiful Brooklyn, New York.

It's NPR's hour of puzzles, word games, and trivia, Ask Me Another.

I'm Jonathan Colton. Now here's your host, Ophira Eisenberg.

Hello, Jonathan. Hi, O'Fira. How's it going? What's new? We're dog sitting.

Oh, that's exciting. Yeah. So basically, one of our neighbors reached out being like, hey, because they've a puppy named Noisette. Come on. Oh, very cute. So they said, would anybody in the building take care of our dog for a few days? Yeah. And it was forwarded to me from my husband, even though I also received the email. Does that happen? Yeah, sure. You both get the email, but still, will you forward it to each other? It's a way of highlighting. It's a way of highlighting the email. Does that happen? You both get the email, but still will you forward it to each other?

It's a way of highlighting. It's a way of highlighting the email. Yeah. And, yeah, so, you know,

with exclamation mark and like, can we, can we? Because somehow I am the grand decision maker

part of our life for this week and noazette is a puppy. Yeah. Yeah. And, is, is, is, is barely a year old and, you know, I will say that it is very cute to watch that thing where you have a little five-year-old boy, which I have,

and then a basically a puppy, and the five-year-old boy throws a tennis ball, and the dog

cannot believe this is happening.

Yeah, yeah.

And gets to run and get it and bring it back.

And they just do that.

I mean, it's a very, it's a very sweet relationship. It's, it's like, it was, we were built to do this. Puppies were built to do that. And little children were built to do that. It's great. Yeah. So we are temporary dog parents and it's very nice. That's fantastic. It's very fun. I like it. Oh, slippery slide, right? Yeah, I know. Before you know, before you know what, you'll be a real dog owner. Maybe, maybe. But you know what? We have some people to take care of, Jonathan, you and I. We have a show to take care of. We promised our listeners. We've got to take care of them to deliver some games.

That's right. We have responsibilities to deliver walkies and treats to our many listeners
