Hello everyone and welcome back to Chatting with Chickens. As I'm sure some of you who have beautiful fur families have experienced, it's amazing to see how your crew shows up when you have things going on. I'm sure you guys all can relate to when you're needing to get something done, like recording a podcast, and all of your animals need to be in that room with you helping you do that.

So today it's kind of like an off day. It hasn't been the days that I've normally been scheduled to record a podcast, but I've just been feeling like this story, this episode needs to come forward. As I'm getting ready and taking some time to just settle and tune in. Really interesting to see how the animals in the household and even the animals outside show up right before recording.

I know for me this episode is gonna be a heart warmer. It's about an amazing, amazing being in dog form that just completely changed my life. Today's episode is about Herbert and even as I say his name, I can feel my eyes well up. For any of you listening to this who are friends or family of ours, I'm sure your eyes maybe are watering up a bit because Herbert was just just a dog that touched a lot of hearts in a lot of profound and beautiful ways.

You know, those special ways that our animals have the ability to just impact us with their unconditional love and connection. Herbert was like our Mr. Miyagi. He definitely was my wax on, wax off kind of teacher. He showed up in our lives, I believe, as a teacher and support. Please enjoy!
