Video Transcript

H peeps Diane and Randall bro here coming to you from our beautiful little mountain town mile high up of Prescot Arizona um we are here to share something that we’ve discovered we’re just your life anybody who knows us knows that we are consumers yeah we try things so we try things so somebody says have you ever tried a vibration board I’m like I have not what is that can you tell me about it so we’re here to educate you on it and we’ll show you some video later so we call it the (00:38) Jiggler we call it the Jiggler a vibration board vibration plate a vibration plate board they call it different things you stand on it it’s a little square you’ll see it in a minute and for 10 minutes you jiggle your whole body love it love it love it first of all I laugh so hard when I’m on it you’ll see in a minute but it’s really good for your balance it’s really good for your lymphatic system to get things moving around get your blood going gives you great energy um anyway those of you (01:09) of a certain age will remember back in the day they had a machine that would stand up and there was a belt and you would put it around your butt and it would it would shake you my first tip is don’t tell young people about it because you will show how old you are that’s a lot longer ago than you will remember yes second thing is this is a little different it doesn’t shake you you’re standing on it uh so it’s a it’s a little different it has uh any number of benefits the thing that I like I like to (01:40) put it on a low speed it kind of shakes you more when it when it goes fast you’re kind of you know shaking like that so it’s really good I wake up usually in the morning I have a stiff back and uh it’s hard for me to walk I have to walk around a little while until I kind of loosen up you stand on this for 10 minutes you are loose it just Jiggles everything it gets every your blood kind of going it’s good for what is it the posture balance what’s the lymphatic system yeah get your lymphatic (02:14) system lactic acid supposed to help with uh cellulite it’s supposed to help with um especially if you work out a lot and you have a lot of Trapped lactic acid and you’re hurting you get on this thing it shakes it all out of you yes yes if you if you particularly if you’re doing weight training uh it’s a really good idea to get on something like this afterwards because it keeps you from getting what’s called blood pooling where where you all the lactic acid sits in one area and it just sits there for (02:45) days this will mix all that up it’ll allow you to absorb that and get rid of it uh so we are just we laughed so hard when we first got on it um now we are converts they go from F1 all the way to F9 program one PR oh yeah why did I say F I don’t know program one to program n and you change it up they say to change it up every day and go to a different level I love it it really gives me a lot of energy gets the day going so so the the lower speeds are more for the lymph and lactic acid and all that the higher (03:20) speeds are more about cellulite uh balance uh you know so the different different levels give you different benefits uh but it’s worth it all of maybe 100 bucks 100 bucks get your we call it we call it we don’t call it all that fancy words vibration board vibration whatever we call it we simply call it the Jiggler the Jiggler and J it Jiggles you it’s hilarious now they have a couple of models uh one has a bracket I guess that comes up almost like a like bicycle handles so you have something to hold on to we just put ours up against (03:59) the bar so you can kind of hold on to the bar uh ours came with rubber um yeah so you can exercise with it if you want we don’t you do curls yeah you can do we don’t do any of that we’re not that ambitious yeah you can get on it and do just your arm and they show you all these ways that you can lay on it and sit on it we just stand on it uh we keep it very very know that I’ll have to look at that yeah yeah yeah don’t sit on it I you know you might want to try that but uh I wouldn’t recommend it but standing (04:31) on it’s great and then the wider your feet the more of a shake you get yeah uh so if you if you feeling you’re you’re getting a little rattled you can kind of put your feet in the middle and kind of reduce it a little bit I’ll move around like I’ll feel like a certain muscle I can feel stiffness and I’ll move so it’s shaking that part of my body uh but mornings are a lot a lot more enjoyable for me now uh you know I don’t I don’t have that stiffness none of that sounds right but anyway it is a good thing it’s (05:01) good for it’s not going to hurt folks try the Jiggler now I should say if listen if if you have some kind of back issue you know or you might want to check might not be for you might not be for you might want to check checking with your doctor uh but I I think for most people it it it would have some benefit it’s been great for us and uh we really get it on Amazon just look up vibration board it’s not if you don’t like it s it back yeah it’s not called the Jiggler that’s not called the (05:28) Jiggler that’s just the Bros into business making vibration boards we will call it the Jiggler yeah okay so that’s just something fun and new we just tried and every morning we get up and saddle up on that Jiggler for 10 minutes yep it’s a great way to start the day yes okay friends hope that you can find it on Amazon and that you too can jiggle and start your day off just right okay cheers to the Jiggler woohoo see you soon bye okay

Lake Swimming

This one is for all the water lovers out there! We have a list of the secret top best lakes to visit in Arizona for swimming, tubing, fishing, and more. Put your bathing suit on and tune into our newest episode to find your next water adventure.

Video Transcript

bonjour bonjour bour you know you’re so fresh I know I tried to change it up a little bit yeah I know that’s that this is NOAA olaaa hello hello hello Randol and Dian bro yeah she’s pickle lady we’re in Prescot Arizona here to talk about things real estate things presc y things presc real estate real estate and Presa things to do restaurants all kinds of tips and tricks and so we get a lot of questions from people about lakes here um we have a lot of lakes we have also (00:37) reservoirs that are called Lakes but technically they’re reservoirs yes um a lot of people say I’d like to have a lake house well I want to set that for you first not going to happen not going to happen all St uh all of the lakes around here are around state land so and preserv so I can’t I can’t find for you get a view of the Lakes get a view of the Lakes get on the lake so I’m so sorry so I want to clear that expectation up first the second thing we get is is they’re fishing swimming (01:09) Etc so all right we did a little research yeah we did a little research so actually used artificial intelligence there you go which is we we we like artificial intelligence chat GPT uh so the question was whether you can swim in any of these lakes and the answer is no so uh for Watson and Willow those are reservoirs that water is runoff so they kind of think well that’s not probably a good idea to tell people to go swimming in there because we don’t know where it’s running off know (01:39) running off from sow w40 you know or something like that it’s washed into that was in there so that’s probably not a good idea also too they’re they’re very shallow yeah they’re shallow it’s not good swimming it’s not good swimming uh you can kayak canoe paddle board no motorboat mized yeah but you still can get out there and enjoy the lake just don’t get in it yeah and you can fish I don’t know if it’s uh Catch and Release but uh you do see people out there fishing and they’re (02:10) all stocked so I you know they’re they’re stocked with trout uh the gold water lake same thing no swimming but it’s primarily for fishing boating and picnicking also too they they don’t like people in the waters CU it it makes it muddy you stir up the bottom cuz and they want to that’s a good fishing spot so they want to preserve that yeah cuz none of these laks are particularly deep um so if you have people thrashing around it’s going to make them really murky right uh (02:39) if you want to go swimming there are other places that you can go uh Crescent Moon Ranch which is near Sedona uh Fossil Creek about two hours from Prescot Grasshopper Point near Sedona Slide Rock State Park oh that’s fun I haven’t done it but it’s on my list of things to do yeah the rocks eles are like it’s like a water slide like a water slide so you can go and yeah and verie River that’s about an hour and a half away a lot of people know about the ver Riv nice and cool and (03:10) uh and clean so there go tubing in too which is really cool like right outside of Phoenix you can tube in there is actually Wild Horses yeah that you’ll be tubing and here comes a a herd of wild horses just coming into the water to to cool off so that’s kind of that’s kind of cool yeah so yeah you really can’t swim or motorboat but but it’s still beautiful uh links like in particular you’ll feel like you’re in California yeah it’s beautiful you’re surrounded by beautiful trees huming Birds (03:38) Galore lovely absolutely lovely we did a a video not too long ago on links lake cafe which is right on links Lake and absolutely beautiful so do we have lakes yes we do um can you live around them no you can’t can you go out and enjoy them and paddle board and canoe and what have you yes you absolutely can can you fish in some of them yes so uh if you’re an avid outdoor person there’s lots of hiking trails all around these Lakes so not only if you don’t want to get in the water or paddle board or canoe you can at least hike around and just enjoy I mean there’s (04:17) beautiful kayak and you fall over and you got you’re not going to vaporize or anything it’s not it’s not you know it’s nothing like that it’s all good so don’t worry about that so uh anyway that is our uh tip of the day about lak um thank you to whoever asked us one of our clients yeah if you have any questions and all feel free to email us we’ll cover it on our wind Downs absolutely just like we covered this one always we like to research and we it it’s good (04:46) for us to learn new things too yeah absolutely so uh we’re excited to to learn all kinds of

hello hello hello hello peeps Rand and diam bro Here I Am the pickle lady yeah she’s pickle lady I am he is the pickle man pickle man girkin girkin yeah whatever whatever whatever so we are here um something we’d really like to share with all potential future buyers it’s a good thing to do uh and check out when you’re doing your due diligence when you’re moving into especially most of our folks are moving from out of state they are not used to this area they don’t know anything about it so um (00:39) it’s very important to do a lot of due diligence figure out if you’re concerned about crime yes we can’t give you percentages we don’t know I mean I’m not I’m not in the police force yes but we have a great resource for you to check out called Community Crim map.com yes so you oddly enough it is a map of the crime in your community thereally what it is so you can get on there and it will tell you suppose you’re looking at Prescot Lakes I want to move to Prescot Lakes uh what’s the crime rate there is (01:11) there a lot of crime uh does it go over sex offenders and it does so so you choose yeah it will ask you if it’s okay for it to dial into your location if that’s where you want to do your search uh or you can give it a zip code or an address or something you can give it a radius you know I want to know about everything within five miles or whatever it is and you get to pick the crime the crime that you’re interested in so you know maybe you’re KCK your crime yeah maybe you’re a criminal you want to know (01:44) where to go uh or maybe you just want to be safe and you want to make sure there’s no crime around you whatever crimes concern you choose those yep and in the time for the location that you’ve chosen for the time frame that you’ve chosen it will show you a map and it will point out every incident u in your community can you do several at one time like can you say sex offenders murders suicide you can oh cool so you don’t have to keep doing individual that’s cool people you don’t have to do (02:14) individual searches you can do it all in one Fell Swoop yeah yeah what about banking crimes no I’m kidding I I I don’t know if they they had specific but they do had they did have arm robbery oh really yeah I mean it’s very specific I want to say and and I’ll I’ll give a give you guys a screenshot you can see what I’m talking about that’s great but I guess it was um maybe about 50 different uh checkboxes that you could do and uh so if you’re just looking for Vi violent crimes or you know maybe you (02:49) have you know bought a car and you’re worried that someone’s going to steal your car you might want just crime crime theft I mean car theft car theft uh so you can kind of dial in what you want uh long story short I I checked most of the boxes I did five years and I did the whole Prescot area including PV and there was almost nothing there were a couple of U domestic uh violence you know uh in in in a couple of residential areas so you know that’s it wasn’t us you know it’s like yeah well just one (03:22) just one of them was us the rest of them were other people you know that’s a joke folks yeah that’s a joke she only beats me when uh when the when the police aren’t looking so uh yeah so so it there was very little going on and what was there was clearly like within a home so if a family so this is important to know as well in the state of Arizona um it does not have to be disclosed if you are selling a home if there was a murder there or a suicide or a death um sellers do not have to disclose that that’s (03:57) right if they don’t share it with us the agents first of all we’ll never know if they do share it with us we do not have to I don’t know if we’re allowed to say we’re not allowed unless we are specifically asked speciically asked if a buyer ask us directly and we know the answer yeah then we have to you know but it’s not an automatic disclosure so you should know that when you’re coming here to buy I know in certain States like California it has to be it’s written up it’s it’s in the disclosures (04:30) and it’s shared with everyone not so in Arizona so this uh Community crime map would be a good thing for you to try to investigate if you were worried about something like that um we may not always be told ourselves not all sell share anything you know with us so um so it’s it’s a good resource it’s a great res particularly when you were first looking at a community you know you don’t know the community that to me would be one of the very first filters is let tell me about the crime absolutely I don’t know (05:02) if it tells you suicides I I’d have to think about that but certainly you know uh uh violent assault and you know assault and battery breaking and entering all that stuff was in there that’s sound a little now we’re getting heavy yeah but but none of it showed up there was just uh just one or two it’s a downer but well I mean it’s it’s a downer if it’s there but it was at least not here not the other thing on this is you may be thinking about moving and uh one of the first things you want (05:33) to know about a potential new community for yourself is the crime you don’t want to go someplace where there’s lots of crime sure and uh despite what the FBI says you know crime I people’s the impression people have and most of the people I talk to crime’s kind of On The Rise um you know there’ve been uh uh police uh departments have been underfunded defunded you know there there’s a lot of stuff going on so you want to be very careful but I think you also want to check your own Community (06:05) yeah maybe you’re thinking I don’t know maybe I want to move I don’t I live in a great place newspapers vary from location to location some y some communities the newspapers will uh will re reveal everything others not so much things are glossed over yeah some in some areas things are glossed over so you may be very surprised at how many things are going on right around you that might be the last uh the last straw that helps you make up your mind to get out move forward so something to think about as well so I think it’s a great (06:42) resource and we love to share it with all of our clients it’s very important for you to do some studying up on that absolutely and see if wherever you’re going to wash up you’re going to be happy and you’re going to feel safe and secure uh odds are in Prescot and presca Valley you will be yes so it’s good to know um um so yeah we wanted to share that with you yeah to me it was a big confirmation because I’ve been saying for a while honestly I don’t know any areas that are dangerous here and and I (07:10) think the the crime statistics kind of bore that out so I so check it out when you’re doing your due diligence in whatever City you may wash up in it’s very helpful so we wanted to share that with uh all of our friends out there so hope we hope you find this helpful and uh that is our tip of the day tip of the day if you like tip tips we got lots of tips for you and they’re all free just go to our free information site that’s pickle 411.

hello hello hello hello peeps this is Diana Randall bro here uh coming to you this evening from the beautiful little city of Prescot Arizona presc Arizona she’s PR yes yes yes yes I am I’m always in production making delicious Cajun pickles that I’m happy to share with you when I see you or if you come to one of my open houses so we are here today to talk about a fabulous new restaurant that we absolutely adore we love it so much that I even had them cater a party we had it was astonishing was so good and so it is (00:42) called Omaha Omaha OHA ohigh oh Idaho no no Wisconsin no what state is it it’s o h Au U Hawaiian Barbecue something like that Hawaiian it’s called Hawaiian Barbecue no it isn’t it has a name Wahoo uhhuh something like that I don’t think so I think it says Hawaiian Barbecue on it does not okay pull up my phone and I’ll prove it to you right now it has a formal name not just Hawaiian Barbecue okay all right but it is on the corner of Cortez and Sheldon so for you local folks don’t miss it it’s fabulous it (01:19) used to be where the old Thai Cottage was yeah so we have a review on K Tha cottage which was also my favorite yeah no it’s actually we called it a cottage but it actually the name of it was actually house that’s right but it was uh it was run by a Thai family lovely and uh they they did a great job and uh the only thing about it was they were constantly away visiting Thailand with their family and I don’t know if they went back to thail think they went back so so we were very sad when they closed (01:49) so it it it took a while for the new place to open and it took us a few weeks to try it but when we did oh it is amazing it is just like some of the traditional food you’ll find in Hawaii when you go to visit so if you love spam they’ve got spam dishes which you Hawaii is the the highest per capita uh consumption of spam in the world that’s right so if you’re a Spam fan this is the place to go but they also have amazing barbecue beef fixed Hawaiian style that’s the that’s the one I would (02:22) try that is so good if you haven’t gone yet try the beef first the beef is amazing the beef is amazing yeah um and then they also have delicious pork they have chicken katsu which is lightly breaded chicken strips fixed uh the Japanese way from in Hawaii as they fix it Paco PCO I forget what they call the breading I don’t know but it was good and uh what else uh oh Cher chicken terak Chien my favorites are the beef and the teriyaki chicken you can’t beat it and then they also give you your traditional uh macaroni salad which is (02:56) really big in Hawaii you get their macaroni salad good and and rice and delicious sauces that goes over it so I mean so you walk in you place your order they bring it to you it’s a you know it’s a nice little seating area yeah it’s set up set up kind of like a fast food place they will bring you your food yes uh from the count I guess if they’re very busy maybe they won’t but they’ll call your number but uh you know it’s not a service restaurant so much but uh it’s it’s wonderful and they’ve done a (03:27) great job remodeling the place the inside of really really nice uh and they are just they are just killing it and they do catering as well so like for instance we had a party we got huge treay of all these different Meats set it up uh buffet style everybody came loved it they also do egg rolls they also do crab drons I mean it’s it’s it’s good stuff it is really good stuff and it’s just a great place just to go have lunch yeah uh you don’t necess if you don’t need to have catering just go (03:56) there and you have a great you know dinner um they have smaller sizes they have bigger dinner portions it goes on and on and on I cannot say enough good things about it is really good Hawaiian the other thing I really like about it is it’s not another of something yeah uh so any of you guys out there considering opening a restaurant I’m sure nobody is that probably is no one but just in case if you want to start a restaurant in the area of Prescot don’t do Italian there are at least a half dozen phenomenal (04:30) really good Italian Italian restaurants don’t do Thai there’s like a half dozen Amazing Thai restaurant but you know people new restaurants oh it’s another Italian restaurant oh yeah okay well every eighth visit will go there you know because the other ones are are always going to be the priority but these people very barbecue very clever something different and something really really good we did a recently did a video on lyx Lake they do German food it’s nice to see something a little you know off off the path absolutely we (05:04) would love to see a Cuban restaurant would be wonderful yes I’d love Cuban yeah just you know something a little different because uh yeah you a good well we we we’ve had a a couple of decent steak restaurants we’re still waiting for a really fine steak dining uh that’s good so but anyway we are truly tickled to have Hawaiian Barbecue uh we go there all the time now at least once a week for lunch good stuff good so if you’re local make sure you try it out because we need to support all of our local restaurants for (05:36) sure and if you’re coming in from out of town make sure you try it out it’s a good launch you’re not going to be disappointed at let us know what it’s called because

phrase for everything when things are going wrong we are living in the great age of incompetence yes yes there used to be better ages yes the Gilded Age the this age the well it’s you know we don’t live a bad age I mean you can still get orange juice in the middle of the winter you know the thing is people just aren’t good at what they do anymore it’s just you can’t get good service you can’t things are not done the way they should be very true and so we’re just finding it more and more and more I don’t know if it’s an aspect of um recovering from covid when everything was shut down and I think I was thinking about this I think during the time of Co a lot of folks who were on the cusp of re and we’re like forget about it I’m done I’m out so what’s happened is there’s been a huge gap and so now there’s some younger folk coming in who maybe are coming out of college or high school where during Co they didn’t have to perform so to speak um so now they’re thrust into the Working World and things have changed yeah people are working at home they don’t know how to conduct themselves they’ve lost people skills uh they’ve lost a good work ethic and they’re like well I don’t have to do this I mean I’m just going to take some time off yeah and it’s created a lot of incompetence so I don’t know if you guys found that I yeah I I don’t know if it’s they don’t care anymore I just think it’s they’re just unable to do what they’re supposed to do so recently uh there was an assassination attempt on uh uh uh president Trump uh a very narrow Miss uh he was very very lucky and as the news comes out it’s very clear the Secret Service was just dro the ball time and time again uh we anytime you travel now if you have a connecting flight chances are you’re going to miss it I mean how many of you out there have heard you know every flight we’ve taken recently delay delay delay Mr your connecting flight I mean we might get home three days later yeah yeah and you know even they lost my luggage and the guy said I I don’t know what to tell you we told them to pull it they said they were and he looked at me he was an older gentleman he goes my co-workers are idiots yeah you know and I just don’t know if people have and that’s when the door doesn’t fly off of the Jets right they got I they got some serious things going on same thing restaurants it’s like I don’t know maybe because maybe some of the older more seasoned workers have moved on so they’re not there to train the younger folk and teach them how it’s supposed to be done I don’t know what the answer is well I well one one possible solution besides the fact that a lot of people with the most experienced workers uh retired is that you know we shut down the economy so all usually an organization has employees that have been there a while and they bring in me one or two employees and the people who’ve been there while can kind of show them the ropes well after covid there was no one who knew the ropes so they had to start all over you know it’s like every every business every organization is a startup now and they’re all trying to figure it out again and and I think you’re right I think people don’t care as much they don’t have the work ethic they used to having spent uh months at home getting paid for doing nothing and they want to do that again now we’re really sounding like old people yeah I you know standing old I know it I know it and the reason there is a small I mean there’s there is truth to this though folks I know it absolutely you have to work you can’t get money forever for free we wanted to make sure that we told you if you if you’re not aware or you haven’t noticed uh we thought it was important for you to know that you are living in the age of great incompetence because if you’re going to do a real estate transaction you’re going to be moving there are so many moving parts to that process on the selling side on your buying side you’ve got lenders you’ve got title companies you have inspectors you have movers you have handymen repairmen you’ve got contractors I mean you’ve got all of these pieces and parts the idea that everyone who is involved in your transactions is going to be competent in the age of great incompetence is vanishingly small yes so make sure you get very competent responsible um uh involved real estate agents yeah don’t get somebody who’s like I’ll call you in a couple of days you need somebody who’s with you every step of the way and we’ll hold your hand and make sure in the age of grading competence that your deal gets done and gets done correctly yeah you just have to double triple check you just need to track everything to ground follow up follow up just to make sure that even the simplest things oh we over to we’ll overnight it to you we had something where they were going to overnight it was a car TR a car a car purchase we’ll overnight it to you well they forgot to put it in the package they forgot to give it to the guy when he showed up you know oh here it is it’s in the outbox I guess they forgot to give it to the FedEx man yeah so well great you know let us call us when it’s there and we can really come back again and get this taken care of so in the age of gr incompetence look for good seasoned agents like Randall and myself we’re here to help you we uh we will do what we can many sleepless nights problem solving how can we you know switch this around and help these people get into their home um that’s what a good agent will do for you and that’s what we love to do for you and get you to the Finish Line yes so in the age of grading competence look for great competent people I think that you know one of the problems I think too having spent a fair amount of time in Corporate America uh mostly as a consultant is you know corporations treat their employees for the most part as interchangeable parts and anyone who’s been in the world will long enough will tell you that’s not the way any organization works you always have you know the people who are more than carrying their weight you know it’s the 20% they get 80% of the work done and uh it’s maybe we lost a lot of those people going forward recognize people when they’re good if you get a good waiter please tip well yes so they he’ll be he or she will be there next time they keep doing a good job recognize good good work because you can’t take it for granted anymore absolutely well cheers to you you do good work good job I try to we try and we try our hardest to bring the best for you as our client we really do

good morning hello Peeps and hello hello hello hello hello hello Diane and Randall bro here your friendly husband and wife real estate team and she’s pickle lady I am also the pickle lady I have many monikers that’s right that’s a good word I like moniker you’re yeah I know so today we want to talk about something a little interesting about moving here to Prescot if you have puppy dogs look out for porcupine porcupine so we got a call from a friend of ours whose dog uh Piper Piper uh just let out in the backyard and came up with a whole bunch of quills evidently they almost like fire out I I always thought you had to like throw yourself on a porcupine evidently they come out like little arrows I I don’t know yeah when they’re threatened it just happens happens and it happens fast and uh so she was uh stuck a whole bunch ended up uh and they have barbs on them too so they’re very hard to remove it was um I mean the dog is going to be fine he’s fine but it’s not a fun process and we’re not talking about one or two quills I mean you could have aund quills all in your dog’s face and in body and and it’s very uncomfortable and you have to make sure you get the whole Barb out you can’t just take it upon yourself to pull it out because sometimes you leave a piece in there and then it’s another nightmare now I don’t want you to think you walk around presca and you see porcupines everywhere cupin are very well hidden they’re they’re nocturnal yeah and they do not like to be seen so uh generally you don’t see them if you don’t see them that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re not there they’re there they’re hiding I had seen por golf course I think yeah this is a house that’s on the golf course I think they kind of like the golf course uh same as coyotes coyotes also kind of like golf courses uh so if you have property like that or looking to buy property like that just be careful yeah so when you put your pups out you should know do we have porcupines yes do we have Havalina yes do we have coyotes yes especially if you got a teeny tiny dog oh yeah never never have unsupervised outdoor time well this really small dog I mean we’ got Hawks you know oh Hawks and that’s true in a lot of areas I mean you know it’s not like we have this abundance of wildlife the same as true a lot of those animals were there in Texas as well but uh so make sure you have supervised yard time um don’t go to the grocery store and leave your dog outside in the yard you might come home to a disaster yeah now we have big dogs so uh you know the the Ravens and you know that they’re not going to carry around our dogs but uh porcupines even a even a very large dog can get uh injured by do so we uh we have a little print out here so we have a little print out yeah so we went to chat GPT we are harnessing the power of artificial intelligence to give some tips on how you can avoid having dog uh stuck by a not stuck not stuck that’s right so as I said have supervised outdoor time yep uh have make sure you have a good fence around that little critter say they borrow underneath I don’t know how practical that is I know but you can try but they they are pretty pretty creative there’s also such a thing who knew called porcupine repellant yeah so you can get porcupine repellents get training oh training how do you get train your dog train your dog to stay away get like a stunt porcupine that’s kind of stupid commands like stay yeah or leave it important my dogs would never listen to that never learn just like my children they would never listen to that but hey if you’ve got good dogs who will listen to that for you good uh have the porcupine repellent I didn’t know they had such a thing use commercial porcupine repellants these can deter porcupines from coming near your property there you go so I don’t know what what that scent is or what that is I don’t know but I guess you could find out and spray it around your yard probably Puli or something like that they also say to remove food sources like bird feeders or fruit that falls from your trees yeah yeah um they’re attracted to that because they want to come eat and they’re hungry so try to keep those things to a minimum and if you’ve got uh fruit trees in your yard pick up the rotten fruit because I that was car’s problem I think she has a fruit tree I think she yeah um make sure you keep your yard clean of all brush and extra logs and things that they could hide in or B burrow in and make a cute little house Y and uh they also like uh motion activated lights and sprinklers are very good to detract them and deter them from coming into your yard they don’t want to be a part of that at all they don’t like it that’s right a Sprinkle I really like it kind of Squirt yeah yeah make them run make them run that would keep me out of your yard not that I would do anything to your dog and lots of lights so yeah it’ll be good so anyway um that’s just something to keep in mind yeah if you got a little pup she kind of went through a bad experience had to rush him to the vet and it was not cheap okay so be aware that when you come here we are got Critters yeah so yeah and like I said this is not like a common thing this is the first time I heard of it happening uh unfortunately to a friend of ours but uh we just thought we let you know and yeah it’s a it’s a good it’s important to know so know remember supervision is the top thing as far as I’m concerned as well as having a fenced yard yeah so be on the lookout for porcupines and any other Critters that could hurt your your kitty cats or puppy dogs and stuff like that so in conclusion after our many valuable tips we just gave you um make sure you protect your kitty cat your puppy dogs um things are out there it’s not always bad but you should be aware um there are some Critters out there who could wreak havoc for your little your little pup or kit so that is your tip of the day if you like tips the place to go is
