Happy's my pet now, but when we were kids, we had our first pet. Our first, I would say furry pet was a rabbit named Alice.

Christian, you remember Alice? What sounds did Alice make? Buzzed a lot. She ran around mostly in circles.

She chewed through our Nintendo cord when we were kids, thus breaking our Nintendo. Yeah, that was the she shit everywhere.

She should everywhere in very neat, perfectly round little pellets. I remember. Yeah, very impressive little poops.

Oh, you're looking on the bright side. I remember the sound. Do you remember the sound of mom using a dust buster or if it were as our chore to use the dust buster to pick up her poops?

It was like, yeah, and it was kind of satisfying when there was like a clump of them and it was like, anyway, yes, as you said, she also buzzed.

That was the sound that she made. And we think she had a neurological problem. She always favored one side. One eye was bigger than the other.

It was a sad situation, but she was our pet and we loved her. And after Alice passed away, we looked up what that meant, what buzzing, why rabbits made that sound, that buzzing sound.

And they do it, I guess, when they're agitated or angry. So poor Alice was happy. He's also agitated and angry because he wants to know, no, no, no more, no more.

So Alice, he's a pet that's making a sound. Yeah, it's okay. Let's just go with that. But it turns out Alice was always agitated and angry, which it makes it sad to think about that she spent her her her years in that state.

And I I shudder to think about a human being in that state, always making that sound agitated and angry. I'm perhaps you've known some humans like our pet rabbit Alice.

Yeah, well, I think we should try to lift things up a little bit because this is getting very sad. I know, I didn't mean to bring it back to humans who have conditions like that.

Let's let's turn things around.

So look who it is. It's it's my current pet happy and he's not very happy because he wants another treat that doesn't exist. But he's now on the show, and he's my pet who's making a sound. Let's do the show.

You're listening to life is shorts. I'm your host Justin Long.

And with me is always is my positive brother. He's he's going to help bring it back up Christian Long who no longer owns you don't have any pets, but you have wouldn't have some borderline pets.

I have some squirrels who get very close to the house. Yeah, what what constative pet because I've heard people describe certain cats like if they have like if you feed a stray cat. Is that a pet?

I think it is I'm Kate's mom patty had a cat called Duncan that she found a Duncan donuts. That was a stray and she would just come feed it. And she she refers to it as her pet, I think.

Was Duncan spelled like Duncan Duncan donuts or was spelled do you and see that's a good question. I think it was spelled like Duncan. It was like Duncan donuts. I think I don't know if she's.

I think that I think that counts as a pat. I think it's it's you know everyone can have their own definition of a pet.

Yeah, I can call a squirrel a pet because I occasionally feed him peanuts and it comes within the boundaries of your house, right? Like it's it's not it's not captive necessarily. I mean it was without be part of the definition of a pet that it has to be captive.
