I mean, I love Valentine's Day. It's just, it's another day when you can tell your loved
00:07
person you love them, you care for them, you appreciate them, you do stuff for them to
00:12
show them you really care. I love pets. I got two cats. I mean, they make my life a
00:18
nightmare sometimes, but I love them either way. I would do anything for them. And I love
00:22
my wife because I'm married. So I love my wife. I would do anything for her, especially
00:26
on Valentine's Day or any other day. I don't care really about doing something special
00:30
on Valentine's Day because I try to do it every day. So every day I try to do something
00:33
special for her. Every day I try to ask her what can I do more for her? Like, because
00:38
she, every day she does so much for me. I'll never be able to repay her for everything
00:43
that she does for me. So every day I try to, to do more for her.
00:48
I definitely know people that really love their pets. I personally prefer my partner
00:55
to a pet. Yeah, I, I could see why if you've got really cute dog that you would probably
01:04
prefer spending time with your partner. But I personally prefer my partner to my dog.
01:10
Yes. Yes. I think so. Well, a pet's never going to let you down, is it? And it's, it's
01:19
always loving and caring and everything else. Partners, well, partners are partners, aren't
01:26
they? So it is. Your pet's going to always be there until they have to pass on. But Valentine's
01:32
Day I think is, I don't know. I think there's a lot of expectations from people and I don't,
01:38
I just go, yeah, it's Valentine's Day, fine. I haven't got a pet at the moment, so I'm
01:42
going to have to say my partner. I think it's, well, that's a difficult one, isn't it? Because
01:48
obviously pets, they can't tell you when they need something and your partners do. And also
01:52
hopefully your pets are kind of loyal all the time and they are there and it's unconditional,
01:58
you know, and they don't ask you to do the washing up. So maybe the pets.
02:02
Yeah, I think we do need somebody in our life. We should be sharing our lives with other
02:07
people. So yeah, I'm still all for love. Valentine's Day, not so fussed about that date. It should
02:13
be more about what you do all year round. It's specific to one day. So yeah, I, I, I
02:20
think it's a good thing. But pets, pets have their place, but my pet would come before
02:24
my partner. My partner is my person. They come first.
02:28
My big love of my life is my daughter. She's called Alessia. And we used to have a dog.
02:37
She called Mia, but she's passing away two years ago. Still very hurt. So the pet is
02:47
sometimes more, give more love than the people. So I can't have another dog because it's still
02:55
hurt. So I can't cope with this again. Now we have a cat, he's called Shark. And here
03:02
we go. This is the family.
