This week it's all about puppy love.

We're going to be talking about my obsessional, impulsive decision to get a dog.

What that's done to our relationship.

I'm going to talk to you about the realities of having a dog.

And also how it's the best thing ever.

We're going to have a laugh and talk to you, yes, about the realities of getting a puppy.

This is late blooms where we are.

Getting our lives together and getting a dog, apparently, eventually.

I feel like getting a dog is part of being a late bloomer.

Mm-hmm. Because it is taking on a slightly more level of

responsibility than I've ever had in my life. You've had two kids, so. I've been, I've been there

since 18 years old. This is just another, this is my third kid now, the dog.

So the timing is quite interesting, isn't it?

They're all 10 years apart, all of my kids. You had CIR at 18, Lily, 28, rocket at 38.

I'm not doing anything at 48.

I'm not having it.

Adoption, baby.

It is not happening.

Nothing else is happening. No, no. So come on. Let's start.

So let's actually start by we've got a dog bed down here. So the thought was that during the episodes, Rocket could like calmly sleep in this bed by our feet while we're recording podcast.

But he is a maniac.

I actually saw a comment that inspired this episode.
