The Bird Show.

Just weird around the house the last couple of days.

Like when you lose a pet, like we did, I mean, he's been in our family now for eight years.

And the, I didn't realize it, but I guess you just train yourself in certain situations.

Like my first thought in the morning now is I wonder if Kahuna's gone out, which I guess it's always been, but I didn't realize it because I have to catch myself going, you know what? Cahoon is not around anymore. Right. Because last week, they found a tumor on our dog's liver and we had to put him down last week. It was awful, awful, awful week. And just walking throughout the house, expecting to see him or in my office, because he's always in my office, like at my feet, just expecting to see him there. He's not there anymore, you know? Or like the thoughts of, I got to feed Kahuna. It's 5 o'clock are still there, but there's no Kahuna. Or I walk back in the laundry room and that's where his bowls have been for the last eight years. And then the room just doesn't look right. It's just really, really odd, you know? so it's been a struggle the last eight years and then the room just doesn't look right it's just really really odd you know

so it's been a struggle the last couple of days but i did get some emails over the last couple of

days that threw me back because you do have to make a decision when you put your dog down like that

once the dog is gone at least in our case i'm not sure how it works in other veterinarian offices.

They see you all tore up and they just want to get you out of the office and go start the grieving process.

So I'm assuming that Stacy made all of the plans with the vet of what we were going to do with Kahuna before we got in there.

Because our vet, like, I don't even remember.

Maybe he did. It's just such a fog that day that I don't even remember. But, you know, after he got injected and it was all over, we're both balling. And the vet's just like, why don't you go out through the side door. So nobody, you don't have to see anybody. You you just leave right but we made the decision or

Stacy made the decision that we're going to have his him cremated so we'll have his ashes somewhere

in the house I'm totally on board on all that I don't know where we're going to put them or

whatever I think you did that with your dog too right Phil Phil still has the ashes of his

bastard hound?

Have you done that?

Yeah.

You have. Yeah. I was the one to say, yeah, I made the joke about how my animals' ashes are in the closet. That's right. That's right. You know, there's a certain amount of time that you don't tell new people in your life. Like, I forgot how long it took it for me to tell Katie. Oh, yeah. And by the way, those orange you see there, those mold pads.

That's an icebreaker. for me to tell Katie. Oh yeah, and by the way, those orange you see there, those mold pads.

That's an icebreaker. That is a definite icebreaker. It's a defining moment in your relationship,

really. For sure. There are others. How many do you have? Three. Three. Well, because it's one of those things where when you move so much and you're not in a permanent location, like, you know, your animals are sacred to you.
