00:00 It's been a little bit of a blessing in disguise in some way, but I think the blessing has come from the support on how everyone has been so upset that we've been shut down.
00:11 I put a video up obviously saying we'd gone and people's response how they drive past and they're sad and their dog went past and thought they was going there and they wasn't kind of thing.
00:21 So yeah, it's been quite a few positives have come from it. So that's why I'm not so down now, even though then, oh my god, I was devastated.
00:32 It does also show, even though it's overwhelming for me, it shows the necessity of it and the need that's for this facility in the area and people.
00:41 And it was more so from the fact I had kind of a lady who everyone knows quite well up Broadstairs, but a lady who's blind and comes with a guide dog.
00:49 So she had a routine of how she came because she can't just go and let her dog off.
00:55 You know, he's a working dog. So he was able to be a dog on that day, you know, and just she'd throw a ball for him and she loved it.
01:02 It was a bit of a lifeline for her as well.
01:04 I had a lady call the other day who wants to sign the petition and she doesn't drive so gets on the bus. So the accessibility was great for her.
01:13 It covered so many needs and different requirements that people needed.
01:18 We will be back. Yes, we earn money, but I love providing. I love doing that and making and seeing people happy.
01:23 And that's that's a big part of it that means so much to me because I'm a big dog fan.
01:27 So I want to see people enjoying their dogs. And that's what it that's what it does.
