One of the things, and again, I know you've heard me talk about this, but I think it's good to keep saying it, is that when you train, let's say you have a dog that you're training for competition. That means you're training that dog. Let's say you started training whatever young age you pick, eight weeks, three months, whatever. But now the dog is five years old and you're still training.

even though you may be competing, you're still training. And when you realize how much time in training is invested and how much change has happened and where you are with that dog just because of that time, and then you take that little snippet of being a week or two weeks or three weeks of pet training, anything like, what are we doing?

And at the same time, of course, you know, some things have to be done. But that's not really the end of, like going to a basic training. It's just, you just open the door of what can happen, you know?

When was the last time you've taken... a peek at the PetSmart. I haven't looked at them. I used to. I used to kind of go at PetSmart and just be like really like look like this to see. I haven't done it in very long time, but I wonder if they've changed anything.

I'm going to go. Sign up and go. There is always a dog to take to PetSmart and Lowe's or whatever, right? Yeah. I have to go and check them out. Typically, man, I wonder if they even have it and maybe they don't have it anymore at our local PetSmart because it should draw my attention.
