Hey there, it's Nick.

And it's Leah.

A real quick thing before we get going, would you please follow our show in whatever app you're using to listen to us right now? Yeah, you don't even have to listen. You could just hit follow and it would really mean a lot to us. Yeah, there's probably like a follow button or maybe there's a bell or a plus sign. Like there's some symbol somewhere and then you'll get notified whenever we have a new episode. We would so appreciate it.

We really would.

Hey everybody. It's Nick Layton. And it's Leah Bonema. And we had so many great questions from you all in the wilderness.

A-oh! That we've a bonus episode, so here we go.

Our first question is, quote,

Over the past year, we've become friendly with our neighbors.

Our dogs play together every morning, and on one occasion, their dogs stayed with us while they were away for the weekend.

They've just come by on their way out of town and wished us a Merry Christmas,

and they gave us a giant bag of frozen mixed vegetables.

My husband and I looked blank for a minute and then thanked them,

not knowing whether we were supposed to laugh or accept them as an honest to goodness present.

They know I cook homemade food for our senior dog, including chicken breast, rice, and vegetables,

but they also know that we are vegetarian.

We don't know whether they met these frozen vegetables as a gift for our dog,

or if it was a humorous way of acknowledging that we're vegetarian.

I think we should tell them how much we all, including our dog, enjoyed them.

But my husband thinks we should not mention it and just stay perplexed.
