| 0:09.4 | 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. |

| 1:34.0 | 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 | And even when he was asleep, he was dreaming of food. |
| 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. |
