There is a lasting impact of that you would have to consider.

So many jokes going through my head right now that I'm going to leave alone.

There were not.

No, I mean, I guess maybe the guys who were married with kids and stuff had maybe pets, but the young guys or the single guys, no.

I didn't have a dog until I had children.

You might get traded.

You don't want to have to take care of it when you're on the road.

I get dog walkers and they live in these buildings and it's all fine.

It's not a big deal, expense or inconvenience, but

yeah it was not like it is now now half the team has dogs or more um yeah no that was not a thing uh and i almost think if i think old school enough if i go back to the days like the idea of having a practice with the dogs out there running around and doing like the you know the westchester dog routine like there would be some guys that i play with early in my career be like what the hell is this like what are we doing here and and

And that's not to suggest it wasn't great.

Clearly, it was well-attended, young people, spring break.

They had a good time, and the dogs are adorable.

The more dogs, the better in a work environment.

I get it.

I love my dog.

It's over here right now.

Yeah, it was not a thing, and certainly a practice involving the dogs would never have been a thing.

Like, oh, hey, there's William Nylander, who we don't know anything about, except he's like a great hockey player.

And he, you know, his YouTube channel.
