Hey there, it's me, Susan. Before you jump into today's episode, there's something else I'd

like you to do first. You see my team and I created Doggy Flicks, an educational video streaming

platform for keen to learn dog lovers like yourself. We've got a video series for you called

the Connected Dog. It's time limited. You're going to be blown away with what we have in store

for you. Did I mention the accompanying

100% free to you. Go to doggieflix.com. D-O-G-G-Y-F-L-I-X.com. You'll recognize me. I'll be the one welcoming you. And once you see how

recall that you'd be willing to bet a hundred thousand dollars? I tell you, I'd still bet a hundred

thousand dollars of that nine times out of ten at a minimum and I'd like to think
