Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to Koala Moon, a podcast of
00:00:14
Speaker 1: original children's bedtime stories and meditations designed to make bedtime
00:00:20
Speaker 1: a dream. In tonight's bonus mini episode, I'm going to
00:00:25
Speaker 1: be reading out the responses from a wonderful Ask Hector
00:00:29
Speaker 1: anything chat we had over on Supercast when many of
00:00:32
Speaker 1: you wonderful listeners submitted questions for Hector to answer, we
00:00:36
Speaker 1: certainly learned a thing or two about our very friend.
00:00:39
Speaker 1: So let's start with one from hold and Moses in
00:00:42
Speaker 1: Fort Worth, Texas. He asked where Hector lives and what
00:00:47
Speaker 1: language he speaks, and also will you be friends with
00:00:50
Speaker 1: Holden's dog, Zady. Holden then ads that he loves Golden Retrievers,
00:00:56
Speaker 1: which I think we all have in common. Here's Hector's
00:00:59
Speaker 1: forts I'm glad you love Golden Retrievers. I think they're
00:01:05
Speaker 1: the best dogs too, except for Cocker Spaniels like Sonny. Maybe.
00:01:12
Speaker 1: Usually I speak dog, which is mostly wolfs and barks
00:01:16
Speaker 1: and sniffs and grumbles if I'm feeling grumpy. Luckily, as
00:01:21
Speaker 1: you know, I am quite a magical dog, which is
00:01:24
Speaker 1: how I'm able to talk to you to I live
00:01:28
Speaker 1: in a town in England with my owners in a
00:01:31
Speaker 1: house near a big park where I get to meet
00:01:34
Speaker 1: lots of dogs and walk with my best friend Sonny.
00:01:39
Speaker 1: Although as you know, I'm often whisked away on adventures.
00:01:46
Speaker 1: I would love to be Zady's friend. Please bark hello
00:01:50
Speaker 1: to her for me, and make sure to give her
00:01:52
Speaker 1: lots of ear scratches and belly rubs. Ask dogs love those.
00:01:59
Speaker 1: Next had a very intriguing question. If Hector could choose
00:02:04
Speaker 1: chicken or gravy, which one would he choose. Journey's old
00:02:10
Speaker 1: dog Penny would say chicken. Here's Hector's answer. Now this
00:02:18
Speaker 1: is a difficult one. Hm, I like eating just about anything. Hmmm,
00:02:25
Speaker 1: I would have to say, though, gravy. I could drink gravy,
00:02:32
Speaker 1: buy the bucket load. Once Sonny and I went to
00:02:37
Speaker 1: Dreamland and there was a whole river made of gravy.
00:02:42
Speaker 1: It was maybe my greatest adventure ever. I remember that
00:02:47
Speaker 1: Sonny came home smelling suspiciously gravy, like I had wondered
00:02:52
Speaker 1: where they'd been. Next, Freddie asked Hector where his favorite
00:02:57
Speaker 1: place is for a snooze. And here's what he said. Oh,
00:03:02
Speaker 1: good question. Well, I could fall asleep just about anywhere.
00:03:10
Speaker 1: I couldn't snooze in the car, in the park, in
00:03:14
Speaker 1: the garden. Once I even fell asleep in my water bowl.
00:03:21
Speaker 1: My owner had to dry me with a hair dryer.
00:03:24
Speaker 1: My absolute favorite place to rest, as all dogs will say,
00:03:29
Speaker 1: is curled up with my owner on the sofa. There's
00:03:34
Speaker 1: nothing cozier than that. Then Jasmine, aged six, asked Hector
00:03:40
Speaker 1: what he likes to do all day, and he said, well,
00:03:46
Speaker 1: it depends on the day. Sometimes, as you know, Sony
00:03:50
Speaker 1: and I go on adventures. Those are wonderful days. But
00:03:56
Speaker 1: if every day was like that, I would get a
00:03:58
Speaker 1: little bit tired. Sometimes Sunny and I spend time together
00:04:04
Speaker 1: without it being so magical too. We go to the park,
00:04:09
Speaker 1: or play at home, or go to fun places with
00:04:13
Speaker 1: our owners. On ordinary days, I usually take a long
00:04:19
Speaker 1: walk in the morning with my owner. Then I eat
00:04:24
Speaker 1: my breakfast and have a nap. Then I play with
00:04:29
Speaker 1: my ball, and then I nap some more. Next I'll
00:04:35
Speaker 1: sniff around the house and dig in the garden, and
00:04:40
Speaker 1: then nap again. In the evening, I eat my dinner,
00:04:45
Speaker 1: play with my owner, and snuggle up on the sofa
00:04:49
Speaker 1: Before bed. I often radio call Sunny to say good night.
00:04:54
Speaker 1: Hum All this talk of napping has made me tired
00:05:03
Speaker 1: me too. Next, Biancha and Miro wanted to know what
00:05:08
Speaker 1: food Hecta likes and what his favorite Koala Moon story is.
00:05:13
Speaker 1: Hector replied, whoa. I love almost all foods. Usually I
00:05:21
Speaker 1: stick to dog biscuits and gravy, but sometimes my owner
00:05:26
Speaker 1: gives me a little treats from his plate too, so
00:05:30
Speaker 1: I have tried some human food. I like broccoli in particular.
00:05:35
Speaker 1: It makes me think I'm a giant eating little tiny trees.
00:05:41
Speaker 1: My favorite food of all is dog treats. I like
00:05:45
Speaker 1: them because often I have to play a game or
00:05:49
Speaker 1: do a trick to get them. My owner often makes
00:05:54
Speaker 1: me balance them on my nose for a while before
00:05:56
Speaker 1: letting me eat them. Makes him laugh. Now I play along.
00:06:02
Speaker 1: My favorite stories are the ones about Sonya and I
00:06:08
Speaker 1: because when I listened to them, they bring back some
00:06:11
Speaker 1: of my favorite memories. I think my favorite is about
00:06:16
Speaker 1: the time we went to Mars. Oh, that was such
00:06:21
Speaker 1: a big adventure. RUNA aged five in Seattle had a
00:06:27
Speaker 1: bunch of questions for Hector. First, what's his favorite kind
00:06:31
Speaker 1: of gravy? Well, that is my favorite kind of gravy.
00:06:38
Speaker 1: That's very difficult because I've never tried a gravy I
00:06:43
Speaker 1: didn't like. One of my favorite gravy's was the one
00:06:47
Speaker 1: Santa's dog Bernie gave to me in the snow that
00:06:52
Speaker 1: was so delicious and seemed to have Christmas magic in it. Otherwise,
00:07:00
Speaker 1: the gravy that fills the river in Dreamland is lip
00:07:05
Speaker 1: smackingly good. Next, would he ever like to go up
00:07:10
Speaker 1: in a hot air balloon? Oh? I would definitely like
00:07:15
Speaker 1: to go up in a hot air balloon, but I
00:07:18
Speaker 1: would need Sunny to hold my poor in case I
00:07:20
Speaker 1: got scared of heights. I would probably enjoy it, though,
00:07:27
Speaker 1: Once we flew on the back of a dragon, and
00:07:30
Speaker 1: I didn't mind that at all. The view from the
00:07:33
Speaker 1: sky is just lovely. Next, what is his favorite color?
00:07:40
Speaker 1: My favorite colors yellow, the color of my ball. And finally,
00:07:45
Speaker 1: what would be a great surprise for Sonny on her birthday? Oh?
00:07:52
Speaker 1: I hope Sonny doesn't hear this, because I wouldn't like
00:07:56
Speaker 1: to spoil her birthday surprise. But I see think a
00:08:00
Speaker 1: good surprise could be something for her to wear. She
00:08:07
Speaker 1: loves dressing up. Maybe some star shaped sunglasses or a
00:08:15
Speaker 1: cowboy hat or a blue bandanna that brings out the
00:08:22
Speaker 1: color of her eyes. Finally, Coder, whose nickname is Cocoa
00:08:29
Speaker 1: like a little koala friend of ours asked how the
00:08:32
Speaker 1: lions that Godly or Academy come to life, and, coming
00:08:36
Speaker 1: to think of it, how is it that the dogs
00:08:39
Speaker 1: can walk into a tree and get to dreamland? Hector
00:08:44
Speaker 1: answered simply, Well, the answer to both of these is
00:08:49
Speaker 1: the same magic. Now, I don't understand exactly how Sydney
00:08:56
Speaker 1: works his squirrel magic or where where the Leura Academy
00:09:01
Speaker 1: gets theirs. I'm just a dog, after all, but I
00:09:07
Speaker 1: know that magic is the answer because I could smell
00:09:11
Speaker 1: it in the air. That's the right answer. The magic
00:09:16
Speaker 1: of magic is that no one really knows how it works.
00:09:21
Speaker 1: I hope you've enjoyed learning more about Hector this evening.

00:09:38
Speaker 1: your questions soon.
