WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.399 It's the Friday version of the Minnesota Goodbye, and y'all 2 00:00:02.439 --> 00:00:05.960 came through. You came through. We got emails today. We're 3 00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:07.559 going to try to bang through a bunch of these 4 00:00:07.599 --> 00:00:10.640 real quick. But thank you so much for your email. 5 00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:14.039 So let's dive in, shall we. Shalle Good morning, guys. 6 00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:16.000 I heard you talking this morning about what kind of 7 00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:18.199 person did you leave behind? And then I heard Bailey 8 00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:21.440 talking about not wanting to be seen struggling to swim. 9 00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:25.519 The person I left behind was worried about being seen trying. 10 00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:28.559 I'm thirty eight now, and growing up I was paralyzed 11 00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:30.800 by the idea of looking like a fool when I 12 00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:33.280 tried something new, or even just trying to find my 13 00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:36.479 friends in the cafeteria. Now that I've read parenting books, 14 00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:38.399 I can probably link that to be in an anxious 15 00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:42.399 high achiever. Struggling feels like failing, but I am trying 16 00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:45.640 to fully embrace being somewhat ridiculous. When I show up 17 00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:48.119 to tennis lessons, I want to make mistakes so the 18 00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:50.159 coach will walk over and teach me how to do 19 00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:52.799 it better or do it right. I have the mantra 20 00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:54.320 that if I already knew how to do it. I 21 00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:57.200 wouldn't need lessons. I know that showing up and trying 22 00:00:57.320 --> 00:00:59.399 means next time I can do it better. And if 23 00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:02.119 I show up, I can get good at it. I'm 24 00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:04.879 trying to teach my kids that too. Growth comes from 25 00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:09.239 struggle and it all it's all about progress not perfection. 26 00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:12.920 Mark your own milestones. Okay, I might have absorbed too 27 00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:17.439 much Peloton instructor vibesl Get out there, Bailey. Nobody is 28 00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:19.840 born knowing it. Enjoy the sunshine and try something new 29 00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:21.120 that comes from rischet. 30 00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:23.400 Thanks for what did you say? Growth comes from what? 31 00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:28.200 Growth comes from struggle, and it's all about progress not perfection. 32 00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:31.799 Yeah, I totally I feel that, and I like I 33 00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:34.120 love learning new things and doing new things. 34 00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:36.719 And it's just like swimming is. 35 00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:40.400 One thing that it's like it's such like a giant 36 00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:43.560 combination of all the things that I'm insecure about. Is 37 00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:47.439 like one people judging me to the way my body 38 00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:50.400 looks in a swimsuit, and three dying and drowning. 39 00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:53.400 So you know that's three exactly three things. 40 00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:58.000 Dying is yeah, drowning, dying by drowning, and I would 41 00:01:58.000 --> 00:01:59.640 love to I feel like now I have to kind 42 00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:04.200 of wait until winter to take swimming lessons. I don't 43 00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:06.680 know whatever. I always just thought if I got dropped 44 00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:08.240 in the middle of the ocean, I would say I 45 00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:09.759 lived a good life and I would drown. 46 00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:13.000 I'm wondering you wouldn't want me to help you, but 47 00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:15.199 I'm like, I probably honestly could teach you to swim 48 00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:16.680 in like a lake this summer if you wanted. 49 00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:19.759 But too hot, Jenny, I can't do it. What you're 50 00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:20.400 too pretty? 51 00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:24.199 Oh my gosh. No, I also am self conscious about things. 52 00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:26.719 You have to understand that every single person is self 53 00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:29.919 conscious about things. You barely have made me feel better 54 00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:33.599 about cellulite, because I've literally always had cellulate on my 55 00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:36.439 legs my entire life, Like it doesn't matter what size 56 00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:38.680 I am. I've been like one hundred and twenty five pounds, 57 00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:42.319 I've been one hundred and sixty pounds, Like I always 58 00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:45.599 have cellulite. But so I have my insecurities too. You 59 00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:48.719 you just remember everyone's insecure in their own way, but 60 00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:51.879 you don't look at other people the way you criticize yourself, 61 00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:53.199 like vantas. 62 00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:54.560 Damn, damn, damn. 63 00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:56.919 I will say, and we say this all the time, 64 00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:59.120 and it sounds cliche when you go to the gym, 65 00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:00.319 when you go swimming or. 66 00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:03.479 Whatever, the hell, people really are not looking at you. 67 00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:05.560 People don't give a damn because I know I don't 68 00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:07.199 give a damn when I when I go to the gym, 69 00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:09.599 or maybe because I'm the person in that that doesn't 70 00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:11.319 know how to do anything but even swimming. I know 71 00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:13.120 how to swim, and I'm watching people who don't know 72 00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:14.719 how to swim, and I'm really like, I don't care. 73 00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:18.039 So I think that genuinely say, I don't think I've 74 00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:19.840 ever paid attention to someone if they don't know how 75 00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:22.439 to swim, Like, I really don't know that I've ever 76 00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:25.520 Like that's how little of attention I paid, is that 77 00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:28.159 I probably never noticed them because it's just not something 78 00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:30.560 I was like looking for, you know, And I would 79 00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:34.960 never think anything negatively about it, because like I had 80 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:36.759 to learn how to swim because we got a pool, 81 00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:40.159 Like it was just part of my youth growing up. 82 00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:43.080 You know, other people, if you weren't going to pools 83 00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:45.120 or lakes, why would you have to learn how to swim. 84 00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:47.479 That's like just not a skill that your parents necessarily 85 00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:49.360 are like, we should get you in swim lessons you know, 86 00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:51.039 it's not like, go ahead. 87 00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:52.319 It's not like you're walking around you don't know how 88 00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:56.280 to tie your shoe. Then I would laugh, but like 89 00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:58.639 that's something you're supposed to learn young. But like swimming, 90 00:03:58.680 --> 00:03:59.800 I'm not gonna look at you be like, oh, she 91 00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:03.280 does know how to doggy paddle, or if you're at 92 00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:05.240 the gym, like she doesn't know how to use the stairstepper. 93 00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:07.680 If you never have the stairstepper, you are an idiot. 94 00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:09.759 I've never gone upstairs. 95 00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:12.159 All right, we have so many emails, so we'll keep 96 00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:15.080 moving on here.

But there's 184 00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:15.839 so much going on around Duluth even and just fun 185 00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:17.199 things if you want to get out of the cities. 186 00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:18.800 I would recommend that if you want to go on 187 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:21.399 a little longer of a trip and go up to Bayfield. 188 00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:24.600 I was just up there this past weekend, and that's 189 00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:26.720 more of like three and a half hour drive, so 190 00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:29.199 that's not really a day trip, but so many fun 191 00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:32.399 things to experience up there. And I will say if 192 00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:34.240 you need help planning any trip like that, you can 193 00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:36.559 go to my travel blog which is meet me off 194 00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:39.879 grid dot com and just hit the Minnesota section and 195 00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:43.159 I have different things on there for like still Water, 196 00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:45.360 the north Shore, Duluth, whatever, How. 197 00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:46.919 Long is a drive? How far of a drive is 198 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:47.480 the north Shore? 199 00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:50.840 So it depends. So you basically the north Shore in 200 00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:54.120 my opinion, starts once you get past Duluth, So you've 201 00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:56.399 got Duluth and that's about two hours. And then once 202 00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:58.519 you get past there, all the way up to like 203 00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.240 the Canadian border, it can be anywhere from like you know, 204 00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:04.919 two and a half hours to like five hours. It's like, yeah, 205 00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:08.519 so it's well sorry, Like from the city is if 206 00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:10.840 you're going up to like two Harbors, that's three hours. 207 00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:12.559 If you're going up to louts In that's like three 208 00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:14.000 and a half four hours. If you're going all the 209 00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:17.679 way to the Canadian border, that's pushing five hours from 210 00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:21.279 the Twin Cities. So anyways, I always suggest if you're 211 00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:23.399 going to the north Shore to stay kind of in 212 00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:25.919 like the louts In area. In my opinion, there's not 213 00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:28.080 as many places to stay. They're probably a little bit 214 00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:30.799 more expensive, but that's where I always used to stay 215 00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:34.559 because we would stay at you know Andrew's grandpa's cabin, 216 00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:38.279 so it was a good like in between of everything. 217 00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:45.080 So okay, moving on here, let's see it, says hey, bitches, whoa, 218 00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:48.799 it's Peyton. Uh huh, acting like you know me, Bailey, 219 00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:51.120 you know my old classmate Leah? 220 00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:51.639 Hi, Leah. 221 00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:56.080 I'm sure you are listening, Bailey, I don't know. They're 222 00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:59.039 not given last names. Well, anyways, I'm emailing to tell 223 00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:01.519 a story about getting to check out your old house. 224 00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:04.720 While in college, a group of about fifteen of us 225 00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:07.039 went to New York. Our professor used to live there, 226 00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:08.879 so she was showing us around and we came up 227 00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:11.440 to her old apartment without even thinking, she rang the 228 00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:13.240 buzzer and said, I used to live in this apartment 229 00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:15.039 and have a few friends with me in town that 230 00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:17.480 want to see my old New York apartment. Can we 231 00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:20.000 come up? They let us in, So there goes all 232 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:23.639 fifteen of us into this tiny apartment. They were shocked 233 00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:25.679 to see it was more than a few friends that 234 00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:28.919 kept coming in the door. Great times. Anyways, thank you 235 00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:31.600 for your everyday sacrifice and kidding up early for us 236 00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:34.279 non mourning people. We love you for that. And that's 237 00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:37.639 from Peyton. What a funny story. Can I come up? 238 00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:42.039 I just got a few friends, fifteen people pile in, like. 239 00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:43.960 What hold on, let me in, let me in. 240 00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:46.399 Oh my goodness, I could go visit like my child. 241 00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:48.600 Well, I grew up moving around a lot, so like 242 00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:50.960 I would maybe have like one or two of the 243 00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:53.080 many homes, but just like, yeah, the one that you 244 00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:54.799 lived in the longest, or if you grew up in 245 00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:56.879 the same house but don't live there anymore, just the 246 00:10:56.919 --> 00:10:58.960 memories and you just I don't know, maybe you had 247 00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:01.720 like your first I'm doing it in this house like 248 00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:04.639 when your brother sister was born, Like, oh my gosh, 249 00:11:04.679 --> 00:11:05.399 that's crazy. 250 00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:07.360 I wish that could happen. 251 00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:11.600 Yeah, I think that if my mom ever sold her house, 252 00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:13.840 she won't. She'll live in it till she like can't anymore. 253 00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:16.320 But like, it definitely will be one of those things 254 00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:17.840 that I would love to go back and look at 255 00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:19.200 someday if she's not. 256 00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:21.919 Right and my mom is still in her the house 257 00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:24.919 that she was in my entire life, so I'm like, well, 258 00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:26.399 I can just go whenever I want. 259 00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:29.039 Yeah, Or you both have sisters, did you guys grow 260 00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:31.039 up doing the thing where like your mom's or your 261 00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:33.480 parents would put tick marks on the. 262 00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:34.559 Water to see how tall you guys were. 263 00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:38.799 Did you know? Yeah? 264 00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:41.080 I moved around a lot, so yeah. 265 00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:45.600 Okay, next one, Hay morning, Pham. I know from listening 266 00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:47.759 daily that Dave has a new RV and has gone 267 00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:50.120 for the holiday week traveling in it, and Jenny has 268 00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:53.120 her camper van. Can you share a bit about how 269 00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:55.960 traveling works with RV's. I have this idea in my 270 00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:58.720 head that all campgrounds are smelly and dirty and full 271 00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:01.440 of meth heads. If you have a shower in toilet 272 00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:04.159 inside your IV, how does the running water and steward work. 273 00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:06.000 Does someone hook it up for you or are you 274 00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:08.039 on your own? And if you don't have those features 275 00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:11.559 on your vehicle, Jenny, are the bathrooms at pretty much 276 00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:14.759 all campgrounds while semi outdoors smelly and gross? Do people 277 00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:17.799 generally leave you alone at campgrounds or is it usually 278 00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:20.320 a big party atmosphere? Thanks for sharing, Always looking to 279 00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:23.480 learn and try something new. This comes from Natalie in Rochester. 280 00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:27.039 All right, I'll buying through these really quickly. Campgrounds are 281 00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:29.519 not smelling and dirty and full of meth heads? You Actually, 282 00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:32.399 I would be shocked to see anything like that at 283 00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:35.240 any campground. Because you do have to pay to camp 284 00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:38.960 in campgrounds, so like they do have regulations there, they 285 00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:41.600 keep up the ones that I've been to. I'm sure 286 00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:44.159 there's ones that aren't as well kept up, but the 287 00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:46.000 ones I've been to, I do not find them smelling 288 00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:48.000 and dirty. I was just with some friends and Ju 289 00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:51.840 Lutha's past weekend and the clubhouse bathroom was very well 290 00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:54.519 kept up. It seemed like they cleaned it multiple times 291 00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:59.039 a day, so it was great. And also you kind 292 00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:02.559 of learn when you go to a lot of campgrounds 293 00:13:02.559 --> 00:13:05.000 now that are more like your RV campgrounds because there's 294 00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:08.159 tent campgrounds and that's where I think you'll get a 295 00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:10.480 little bit more of like a wild, younger scene. The 296 00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:14.320 RV only campgrounds is like very chill people who keep 297 00:13:14.360 --> 00:13:17.159 to themselves and are quiet. They're not up partying until midnight, 298 00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:19.720 you know. So I know that there's definitely gonna be 299 00:13:19.759 --> 00:13:22.960 campgrounds that are younger and have a little bit more 300 00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:26.159 of that party atmosphere. As far as a shower and 301 00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:27.919 toilet hook up in your RV, yes, I do not 302 00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:30.639 have one. However, if you do have one, basically you 303 00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:34.279 attach like a big hose into this is gonna sound 304 00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:37.399 so idiot like, but you attach this big hose from 305 00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:40.480 your camp or RV pull behind whatever to something in 306 00:13:40.519 --> 00:13:44.879 the campground and then it sends like sewage in I 307 00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:47.360 had to watch my friends do it this weekend. But 308 00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:50.799 then with Dave and Susan, they have to go and 309 00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:54.639 empty that. Because they're traveling a bunch, they'll empty that 310 00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:59.440 like maybe at campgrounds, but they after they're done camping, 311 00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:02.279 there's like dump stations. And I'm probably saying this wrong 312 00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:05.080 because I'm not as well versed in that, but no, 313 00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:07.039 someone does not hook it up for you. You have 314 00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:09.120 to hook it up yourself. You have to take care of. 315 00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:09.480 All of that. 316 00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:14.240 And in camper vans there's different water tanks and different 317 00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:16.360 like sewage tanks that you deal with. If you have 318 00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:18.720 a toilet in there and you you have to empty 319 00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:21.120 it yourself. I do not have a bathroom in my 320 00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:25.159 camper van. I literally pee in a cool up container 321 00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:28.799 and I throw it out the door if that. If 322 00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:31.320 I need to go to the bathroom in the camper van, 323 00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:34.600 I usually go to a gas station and make sure. 324 00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:36.519 But usually you know at night, you're like, I gotta pee. 325 00:14:36.559 --> 00:14:37.200 Where you're gonna go? 326 00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:40.320 Can I ask such an off base question. That's about 327 00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:42.799 something you said. Is it harder for guys and girls 328 00:14:42.799 --> 00:14:43.600 to pee in a can? 329 00:14:44.279 --> 00:14:47.000 Or like harder I'd say for women because you can't 330 00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:48.000 direct in any way. 331 00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:49.799 That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure. 332 00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:52.720 Yeah, no, it's definitely gonna be harder for women. We 333 00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:56.519 had our streams are not quite as straight and narrow. 334 00:14:56.840 --> 00:14:59.639 Streams are also not straight and narrow, especially after like 335 00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:02.559 tm I but this is the podcast, will fuck it? 336 00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:08.159 After doing it, after doing the loving it, it gets weird. 337 00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:09.200 It's not direct. 338 00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:12.320 I don't know how I get what you're saying. I 339 00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:13.039 get what you're saying. 340 00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:15.000 It's like when you put your finger over the hose 341 00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:16.799 and it starts going a bunch of different directions. 342 00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:20.679 It's pretty much how women pee all the time. Maybe 343 00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:22.320 not all the time. I mean, it's not like it's 344 00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:25.600 going in every direction that we're peeing on ourselves. But like, yes, 345 00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:30.639 it's definitely much harder. We can't control any kind of flow, 346 00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:35.840 not at all. Last question real quick for Natalie is 347 00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:38.240 do people leave you alone at campgrounds or is it 348 00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:40.600 a big party atmosphere? Like I said, I think the 349 00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:44.080 more mature slash r V campgrounds, Yes, everyone leaves each 350 00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:47.720 other alone. However, I think campgrounds that are more like 351 00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:51.360 tent campgrounds that might be a bit of a more 352 00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:53.759 party atmosphere. But for the most part, I'm gonna say 353 00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:58.519 campgrounds are like family friendly chill. I really think that 354 00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:01.759 the party campgrounds have been part of our music festivals 355 00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:04.960 so Country USA. Yeah, and that's not what you're asking about. 356 00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:08.159 So outside of that, there we go. Hopefully that helps 357 00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:11.879 you learn something new today. Natalie, Hi, Jenny Bailey, and 358 00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:14.559 maybe von Fonce here. Hello. I have a dilemma. This 359 00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:17.120 will definitely pull on Bailey's heart strings and this is 360 00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:20.000 difficult for me to even write. We adopted a five 361 00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:23.200 year old male cat from my husband's childhood friend a 362 00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:26.759 year ago. He is so sweet, affectionate, and doglike in 363 00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:29.240 many ways. He will run up to strangers that come 364 00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:31.480 to our door. However, I believe he has some past 365 00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:35.159 trauma that has led to some undesirable behaviors. His first owner, 366 00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:39.519 before my husband's friend, died unexpectedly in a car accident 367 00:16:39.799 --> 00:16:42.440 and the cat was left alone at home for several days. 368 00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:46.399 There's two main issues. First, he is extremely vocal. He 369 00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:48.559 will frequently go off on his own to the basement 370 00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:50.320 and sit at the base at the bottom of the 371 00:16:50.320 --> 00:16:52.799 stairs and loud lely me out. It's a long, drawn 372 00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:56.440 out sound over sound, sound, over and over. He does 373 00:16:56.519 --> 00:16:58.600 this all the time, middle of the night. He doesn't care. 374 00:16:58.679 --> 00:17:01.279 While this is annoying, I can live it. Second, our 375 00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:05.359 basement has increasingly become more smelly like cap he over 376 00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:07.640 the past year. For a while I thought I was 377 00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:10.039 it was just the litter box. But tonight I moved 378 00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:13.559 everything out and vacuumed the entire basement, and during this 379 00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:17.000 time I discover the sources of the smell. I found 380 00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:20.640 several areas where he has peed on the carpet. We 381 00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:23.319 are getting our carpets cleaned tomorrow because we are moving 382 00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:26.160 in a few weeks. So here's my debate. Since a 383 00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:29.119 move will be stressful for him anyway, would it be 384 00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:32.319 awful to rehome him where he can hopefully get the 385 00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:35.200 love and attention he needs. We work full time and 386 00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:37.960 have two kids and a dog. I worry he isn't 387 00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:41.160 getting his needs met. I also absolutely do not want 388 00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:43.839 him peeing all over my new house. I didn't want 389 00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:45.759 to give him a give up on him, but I 390 00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:48.799 am so grossed out living in my own home. What 391 00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:51.640 do I do for anyone wondering he has neutered. I 392 00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:53.880 clean his box once a day, and he went to 393 00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:56.200 the vet for his annual checkup a few months ago. 394 00:17:56.680 --> 00:17:59.960 Thank you this. I'll just refrain from saying this person. 395 00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:02.839 I don't think it's wrong to rehome your cat. 396 00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:05.640 If you can't love the cat the way it needs 397 00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:09.119 to be cared for, then I think it's totally fine 398 00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:13.440 to rehome the cat. Obviously, don't just like leave the 399 00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:16.839 cat in the house when you leave. But if I mean, 400 00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:18.799 if you know somebody who will take the cat, like 401 00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:20.799
