Well good evening Graham and Helen and everyone else on the net. This is Carl in New Jersey. Yeah, happy Friday to everyone. And it's been a little while since I've been on. I've been busy on Fridays. So it's been tough. But today's a little quieter so I was able to get in. And I heard you asking about critters. My first one was a dog. Irish Setter, beautiful dog. And at the time I figured I was a dog person. I wasn't really into cats. I've seen them here and there but I never owned one so I like dogs. But unfortunately, I'm talking when I was pretty little. We had the Irish Setter 11 or so. But we didn't have him long. He unfortunately got ill and passed. And my mother was so heartbroken. No more dogs, no more dogs, no more dogs. And then she talked about, well we could get, you know, I guess we could get a cat. So my grandmother, her mother, who was, she was a character. She had me, she was driving around, I was probably 13 or something. And we went in the pet store, let me drop this. And there was kitty cats. And I said, didn't mom say that we could have kitty cats? And two are better than one. And my grandmother was like, yeah, she said that. So we came home with a box with two kitty cats. And it was in the summer and my father, he looked at me, he looked at that box and he goes, there better not be a cat in that box. And I said, no, there's not a cat in the box. Because there were two. And I've had about 12 cats since then. Never had another dog. But I still have a 13 year old kitty cat here. But we do love our critters. There's no doubt about it. They're absolutely part of the family. Back to you, Graham. Give me two effects.
