Or we could just give her a little bracelet with the apple air tag on it.

72.096 - 95.428 Ash Kelley

Oh, also speaking of cats, thank you so much everybody for helping me with the tips about... like ceramic bowls and all that for feline acne we do all of that and he still has feline acne he's just got really persistent acne and now he's on prednisone and ointment and liquids and all that stuff it's really great it's awesome she showed me a clip from the office this morning

95.408 - 119.064 Alayna Urquhart

She was explaining that she was like, you know, and now Remy needs like this ointment twice a day and he's on this and he's on that. And I immediately thought of the part in the office where Angela has Dwight go to like, you know, take care of her cat Sparkles. And she's like, she just she's like, well, he's diabetic. So you have to roll the insulin. Don't shake it.

119.144 - 120.887 Alayna Urquhart

You have to put the ointment at the base of his tail.

Chapter 3: What role did racial tensions play in the investigation?

121.207 - 129.463 Alayna Urquhart

And then Dwight just like murders the cat. Yeah, that's crazy. I immediately thought about it and I had to show her the clip because that's just who I am as a person. And honestly, that's who I am.

It's fine.

150.215 - 155.562 Ash Kelley
