00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:01.800
You know, it's a new year, so we have new energy,

2
00:00:02.560 --> 00:00:04.400
and of course energy is the key to a lot

3
00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:07.040
of it. And tonight we're going to talk We want

4
00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:10.400
to talk a little bit about the shared experiences of

5
00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:14.480
ourselves and our pets, and we're going to start that out.

6
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:16.719
You know, I believe that you mentioned something that we

7
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:19.280
want to talk about parasites and how many different things

8
00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:24.199
there are we when we talk about parasites. You know,

9
00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:30.719
everybody thinks heartworm, real worms, hookworms, and maybe tapeworms, But

10
00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:32.719
it's far more than that, isn't it. Doctor them?

11
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:37.320
Yeah, yeah, I mean our digestive track is full of

12
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:42.000
various parasites, both ones that are you know, that have

13
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:45.960
a symbiotic, good relationship with the body, and then others

14
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:49.479
that we don't like to see. So, you know, so many,

15
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:53.200
and you know they're not named by most veterinarians or

16
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:58.560
actually measured in laboratories, even our common conventional diagnostic laboratories.

17
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:02.280
But yeah, parasites are are a big thing now and

18
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:05.120
you know, definitely looking forward to talking more with you

19
00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:05.480
about it.
