This episode of Thinking Sideways is not brought to you by Lewis Mr. Teeny Toot.

Instead, it's brought to you by all the other furry critters in the world

that really, really, really want to give you some love.

So listen, you need some friendship.

You really would love to have a friend.

They're waiting for you when you get home.

And guess what?

There's somebody who would love to be that friend waiting for you when you get home.

And that is a critter from your local animal shelter.

So go visit your shelter and adopt a friend.

And if, hey, you've already got enough friends that live in your house,

aka your rulers, the little furry ones.

Well, you can still help out by volunteering, by donating.

There's a bajillion ways to do it.

So go out, give your time, give yourself.

It's all for a great cause.

And we know you're going to do a good job.

And the little ones are going to be happy.

And we'll see you next time.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.
