Bonjour, this is Kimberly Wilson and...

0:13.8

This is Tim Mooney, because I come here every two years. Hi.

0:17.4

And, uh, Mookie, you may hear, is snort on my lap. And today, what we're going to be chatting about is our journey with getting the lovely

0:25.3

Muki, who we've had for four weeks and a couple days now.

0:29.8

And so we just wanted to share our journey with rescue, our journey with the transition

0:34.0

of having Mookiee in our house house and where his name came from.

0:38.2

Yeah, it's been quite a journey.

0:39.6

And we wanted to kind of have a few weeks before we started sharing a lot of this information with you because it's a lot to process for us.

challenge of Louis being such a big part of our day for 10 and a half years. I mean,

1:40.3

from like the moment we woke up, he was demanding food.

1:47.4

The moment we went to bed, he was still demanding food.

1:49.3

1:51.0

So that was Lou.

1:51.5

Yeah.

1:58.0

So it was just like, you know, he was such a staple and like a bookend, really, to our day.
