Non-harness orbs carry up to three riders, while the harness orbs are constructed for one to two riders. Double-harness spheres have different slope requirements, and must only be operated in specific locations.
American Vandal: 1. Jenna's Instagram was perfect. Like, she was traveling with her girlfriend, taking pictures of them kissing at sunset on a yacht in Mykonos. Her Instagram was full of pictures that were clearly taken from professional photographers. [girl] Jenna easily had the most obnoxiously perfect Instagram account at this school, and then she posts this picture claiming to 声称 be best friends with Kendall Jenner. Then someone found the un-cropped 未裁剪的 version of that picture. Turns out she was just waiting five hours for a Kendall meet-up. She was not her best friend. Obviously it wasn't real. She ended up coming out that (come out I. (of a fact) emerge; become known. to become known or be made public: When the facts came out, there was public outrage. "it came out that the accused had illegally registered to vote". II. (of a book or other work) appear; be released or published.

The advent of the Euro has redefined Europe. There's no fucking way. Lou would never let D do a prank like that. He's just too invested in his business. This Turd Burglar shit is funny, man, but Lou would never let D get in trouble. That's his meal ticket(golden goose). That's just crazy. [Sam] I believe Perry. I just don't think that Lou would ever commit any of these crimes. Then maybe DeMarcus did it on his own. And why do you believe Perry so much? They're best friends. 'Cause he brings up some good points 他说的几点很有道理. 2. You're trash. Come on, man. This is a photo of the both of you guys at Skip Day. Shh. You really just shush him? That's crazy. I ain't know people really shush outside of libraries. That was disrespectful-ass motherfucker, man. Were you guys there when the police arrived? What has this got to do with the Turd Burglar? It's related. I mean, we ducked out 跑了, 躲了 (to leave a place, especially in a way that is not noticed by other people. She ducked out for a smoke. duck out of to avoid doing something that you were intending to do or had promised to do. ) right before they got there. Well, you'll see here that the police don't arrive until 1:39 p.m. So? And this is a picture of Lou on his phone, 16 minutes earlier. What you saying? Well, I know that everybody in the school believes that it was Kevin who made the phone call to the police. Actually, they use that phone call as one of Kevin's primary motivations, as to why he became the Turd Burglar. But I don't believe it was Kevin who made that call. I think it was Lou who made the phone call. This real? This is bullshit. I ain't call the cops. But from the found footage that we found from Skip Day, we know if the police don't arrive until actually right here, 1:39 p.m. And these are the actual text exchange between Lou, DeMarcus, and Perry. And we have footage of Lou on his phone about 16 minutes earlier. Can I see that? It's just that Yeah. It's just there are some moments in here that you may not want to see. So, if you want, you can take my word for it that we have. Peter, thank you, but I am not in high school anymore. I'm an adult, so no trigger warnings 警告 necessary(a statement at the start of a piece of writing, video, etc. alerting the reader or viewer to the fact that it contains potentially distressing material. there probably should be a trigger warning for people dealing with grief. trigger warning: sexual assault discussed very bluntly. "there probably should be a trigger warning for people dealing with grief".). 3. And it was Tanner's accusation that Kevin called the cops, which we now know to be untrue, that led to Tanner's dismissal from the band. Then two days later, Tanner testified against his best friend to the Bellevue Police. It was a three-way friendship since fourth grade, and it came apart at the seams(come/fall apart at the seams I. to stop being useful or effective.

The gas company offers a free walk-through inspection of your home to identify potential savings. In software engineering, a walkthrough or walk-through is a form of software peer review "in which a designer or programmer leads members of the development team and other interested parties go through a software product, and the participants ask questions and make comments about possible errors, violation of development standards, and other problems". "Software product" normally refers to some kind of technical document. As indicated by the IEEE definition, this might be a software design document or program source code, but use cases, business process definitions, test case specifications, and a variety of other technical documentation may also be walked through. A walkthrough differs from software technical reviews in its openness of structure and its objective of familiarization. It differs from software inspection in its ability to suggest direct alterations to the product reviewed, its lack of a direct focus on training and process improvement, and its omission of process and product measurement. 5. You're gonna buy seven more hats? And a snow globe, if you show us the security footage. So the kid, I guess, dropped his ice cream outside. He goes crazy, comes in here like some kind of zombie. Opens up the freezer, just starts taking ice cream out without paying for it. Sits on the floor Look, he's eating it. Never paid a dime for it. So I go over and I tell him, "Hey, you can't do that. " He doesn't say anything to me. I kick him out. I mean, what am I supposed to do? Banned him for life. Could you show us the outside footage? Yeah. As we watch DeMarcus pull up in Lou's car and get in Kevin's face, everything began to take shape 渐渐有了雏形. It made sense that Kevin dropped out of the documentary. He was scared. Who wouldn't be? We had spent so long organizing puzzle pieces. Now, they were quickly falling into place 各就各位. Alright, take a seat. Do you care to defend the $3 surcharge on this ATM? No. Didn't think so. "Would you care to explain what's going on in this video?" Yeah, okay. You don't know what happened in that conversation. Okay, so what exactly was said? Look, bro. It's just so clear that Kevin did it, alright? It's clear. So all we said was stop talking shit about us. "We know you did it. Ain't no need to be trying to bring us down with you. DeMarcus is one of the best players in the country. He don't deserve to have a rumors like that going around right now, man. We almost done. So, then, why were you late to the pep rally? We was always gonna 原本就打算 miss the rehearsal for physical therapy, but we would have been on time for the pep rally if we didn't get into a fender bender ( 小车祸, 小事故, 小磕碰 a road accident in which the vehicles involved are only slightly damaged. a minor collision between motor vehicles. "he was involved in a fender bender while driving without a license". ) with Jenna Hawthorne. We was pulling up to the gym, she ran into my car with hers. She broke her side view mirror, scraped my shit all up. You think I'm lying? There you go. Invoice from Jenna Hawthorne, $750. Look, Peter You looking at all of this wrong, man. Wrong. It's not me. It's not DeMarcus. It's your boy. Alright? The dude did it. Enough already. He confessed. Something about my conversation with Lou made me feel like he was telling the truth. Somehow, his defense felt plausible. Maybe I was seeing it all wrong. Perhaps the email from the team's captain wasn't meant to cover up a crime. Maybe it was just meant to keep the health of their star player under wraps. Perhaps the confrontations with Gonzo and Kevin weren't simply about intimidation 吓唬吓唬, 震慑一下, 敲山震虎. But instead, about keeping them from spreading untrue rumors that could hurt DeMarcus. Okay, see, I'm not buying any of this shit. I mean, it's new evidence that we need to process. This physical therapy form could easily be faked, and the Venmo receipt? It's nothing. I mean, if anything it's a distraction because this is all we actually need. 6. Yeah, I skipped my internship. Then why were the T-shirts that were supposed to be in the T-shirt launchers in the front seat of your car? You have no alibi. You were at the school. You did the Shit Launchers. You're the Turd Burglar. No, I'm not. Then why were the T-shirts in your car? Peter, I swear to God, I'm not the Turd Burglar. Could you answer the questions? Why were the T-shirts in the front seat of your car? Because I was there and I helped, but I didn't do it. Like, I'm not the Turd Burglar. I just did the gym and that's it. Literally none of the other stuff. She, like blackmailed me, she, like, made me do it. Who made you do it? Someone Someone named Brooke Wheeler. Brooke Wheeler? Sorry, guys. I'm just, like, way too stoned to do this right now. Jenna agreed to sit down with us for a formal interview, after giving herself time to get less high. I'd been so upset about my break-up last year. And then I, like, opened Instagram one day and this girl had liked, like, ten, maybe 15 pictures of mine in a row. There's only one reason why people do shit like that. They want your attention. And she got mine. So, I click on her profile, and she's, like, not the type of girl that normally likes my stuff. Like, she's not super into fashion and travel. She's just, like, a normal girl. Except she's, like, cute. We talked about everything, like like, every night for, like, hours. You know, like, our secrets and insecurities. Like, I'd never been so open with anyone in my entire life. I even told her about, like, what happened at school with you know, everyone turning against me. Including my girlfriend, who dumped me because of it. And Brooke was going through a breakup at the time too. A conversation from September 14th, 2017. One day everyone wants to be your friend. The next, everyone wants to see you cry. Aw, babe, I'm sorry. It's because everyone's so jealous of you. You know what's sick, though? After everything happened, I realized that's all I had. What do you mean? When everyone decided to hate me, all I could do was either curl up in a ball and cry 蜷成球, 蜷缩起来, or post things to make everyone more jealous of me. I realized I liked when people were jealous of me. It made me feel less alone. I've never told anyone that. I don't see how anyone could hate you, Jenna. I think I'm falling in love with you. She knew exactly what to say to cheer me up. I don't know how I'm going to tell my family I'm in love with someone who lives an hour away. Me neither. What a pickle. She had this cute nickname for me. "Pickle." I was her little Pickle. Hey, Pickle. I'm going to bed and I wanted to say goodnight. And so, yeah, I sent her some pictures. Pictures, I wouldn't want anyone seeing. But then things got dark. She starts telling me that, like, I should get back at 报复 my classmates. That, like, I should do something bold if I hate everyone at my stupid school so much. If you don't, I'm going to show everyone all of your pictures and all of our conversations, so everyone can see that behind your pretty little rich-girl Instagram is a self-absorbed liar who's completely full of shit. I realized, all the stuff that's been happening in school it's her. I asked if she wanted, like, money, but she only wanted one thing. And at this point, like, I'm honestly, like, I'm afraid, and I don't know what to do. So I did the launcher. Do you mind telling us how you did it? Brooke sends me these coordinates. She tells me that I need to go to this location. Look, dude, those are coordinates. It turns out to be an alleyway 小巷子. That's definitely poop, yeah. Like, my heart is just racing and I get to this location, and there's a box in the middle of the alleyway with my name on it. FRAGILE It was, like, really planned out 计划好了的. Like, this shit was truly next level. And at this point, like, I'm honestly scared. Like, what is this person capable of, you know? And, like, I know that I'm in over my head at this point, but, like, what am I gonna do? And, like these pictures that I sent her they're, like you know, like, super suggestive 有暗示性的 photos, and, like, all of our conversations are just, like, in this box, and, like, she knows that I'm not gonna have any choice. She makes it real clear that she's not fucking around, and I better do what she says. So, inside the box there's instructions that tell me how to do it, and Ziploc bags that are full of shit to use. Like, actual shit. And, like, I'm just thinking, like, who is this person that I thought I was in love with? She's some kind of monster. During the pep rally walk-through, the coach's office would be open and I was supposed to replace the shirts that were in the cannon with, like, the Turd Burglar shirts. There's printed out instructions telling me, like, how to roll the cat poop into these shirts, and she tells me to take a picture of the guns that are loaded and send it to her. I mean, like, of course I did it. Like, what else was I supposed to do? You know? So I send her the picture and she fucking ghosts me. 6. Yeah, I remember I was Facetiming my boyfriend, and I didn't look where I was walking. I've dropped my phone, like, a million times, but this time it hit every step on the way down and just, like, completely shattered. I couldn't even unlock it without glass on my fingers. So I looked on Yelp for a place to fix it and I called them and they said they would have it done in under an hour, but I showed up and this guy said that he needed it overnight, and I gave him my password. He had access to everything. Where did you get it fixed? It's, like, a kiosk at the mall. The Kirkland Mall. Was it a Broke 2 Fixed kiosk? Yeah, that sounds right. Why did Grayson go down such a dark path 黑化? And how did he choose his four victims? We'd unraveled so much, but there were still plenty of loose threads 未知数. 7. Hi, Mr. Tillman, is DeMarcus home? We're not taking visitors 不接受访客, 不接待来访 right now. Okay, I was just wondering if I could maybe speak really quickly with DeMarcus and. Yo, Pete, get the fuck out of here. I just thought that maybe he might want to share his side of the Goddamn. Pete. Let's talk, man. Awesome. DeMarcus! Come on back here, boy! Hop in the passenger seat. Are you joking? People see your dick pics, whole school talkin' 'bout it look like my dick got a turtleneck on. I keep trying to explain to people, outside the United States, that's how dicks be looking. But that ain't cultured. Whatever. The worst part is people know I got catfished. DeMarcus Tillman, catfished. By a dude. More than anything, man, I feel bad for the people at school. I mean, Miss M. She's corny 老掉牙的, 听得耳朵磨出茧子了 (corny stories, jokes, songs, etc. have been used so much that they seem silly. If you describe something as corny, you mean that it is obvious or sentimental and not at all original. [disapproval] I know it sounds corny, but I'm really not motivated by money. ...corny jokes. I know it sounds corny, but it was love at first sight.), yes, who cares? But she don't deserve shit in her eyelashes. Like, that's fucked up. I feel bad as shit for that. So you did the Poop Piñata? Yeah. I did it, yeah. Everyone's so nice to my face 当面特别好, but it doesn't feel right, you know? I just don't trust anyone. What about Lou? Especially Lou. Hate saying it ( I hate to say it, but .../I hate to tell you this, but ... spoken used when saying something that you do not want to say, for example because it is embarrassing. used for showing that you are sorry about what you are going to say, because you think it is unpleasant or you wish it was not true.

I don't even know if he likes me anymore. I don't know if anyone really does. I do. I really like you. I really like you too. That's why I kept it so real wit' her. Then when I found out she was just playing me too, it was just That shit fuck with you, man. That shit fuck with you hard. 8. Jenna Hawthorne did the Shit Launcher, and Mr. Gesualdi did the Crap Calendar. Which leaves one less crime, and one last blackmail victim. Let me tell you about Drew. I mean, he's a theater kid, who lives in the friend zone. He's like a brother to me. My parents let him sleep over all the time. Like, I can change in front of him. That's how asexual the situation is. And then the pictures came out. There were picture leaks of him in, like, diapers with baby bottles. I'm not sure if it's some sort of weird fetish. I just really want to know who it was for. Thank you so much for sitting down with us, Drew. So, would you Would you actually care to speak on that video? I mean, how much practice did that take? I don't really want to talk about the video. You don't have to. Just, forget about it. So you met Brooke online, right? Yeah. And how did she get you to do the Brownout? I didn't do the Brownout. Well, we We know who did all the other four crimes, so by process of elimination 通过排除法 Look, no, I'm telling you, I didn't do it. She asked me to. But I said no. She already had some photos of me, so, that's when she started to blackmail me. So Brooke leaked the photos. Yeah, She said she had a diaper fetish, and Honestly, it was the first time a girl seemed to take me seriously, so I went along with it 照做. Biggest mistake of my life. So, you knew about the Brownout and you didn't say anything? Yeah. Are you serious? I mean, she still had the video. Oh. Yeah, no, I wouldn't have said anything. But if Drew Pankratz didn't do the Brownout, then why didn't The Dump include blackmail of the individual who did? There was still a dingleberry ( I. a foolish person. a stupid person I'll get rid of this dingleberry. How did Will know he was a dingleberry? That guy was such a dingleberry. II. vulgar, slang a small piece of faecal matter, esp one stuck to the anus. Dried fecal matter adhering to anal hair. ) of information that we didn't have. Fortunately, Grayson's trial unearthed new evidence. He had wiped his phone and laptop before police raided his house. But Washington State's Technology Crimes Unit was able to recover most of the data. That included Grayson's conversations and all of his passwords, which led to the discovery of several angry videos posted to 4chan and YouTube after his expulsion. I got expelled today and no one seems to care. They're talking about it on Twitter. Let's see my classmates are saying. "Grayson Wentz is a creep. I'm glad he's expelled. " "Fuck Grayson Wentz. He's a piece of shit. " A piece of shit? I'm the only one not hiding on Instagram fishing for likes, and I'm the fucking piece of shit? He began obsessively following his former classmates, digitally stalking them. Their social media became his only connection to the world. He devoured every detail he could. Every post. Every profile. But the more he consumed, the sicker it made him. He used their own loneliness against them to get back at the school that he hated, including the teacher responsible for his expulsion. I discovered he was tweeting some pretty unsavory stuff(I. involving things that you do not want to think or talk about, for example crime or sex. an unsavory character/reputation/business. II. food that is unsavory smells and looks bad.). As you probably are aware, these computers are supposed to be used for nothing but schoolwork Grayson took great pleasure in pointing out the hypocrisy. Your self-righteousness 自我正义 makes me laugh. Put the crap in the calendar, or I'll show you the world all the unsavory stuff you're sending young girls from school computers. And he relished the power he held over the people who opened up to 坦露胸怀 him. You're no hero, you're a phony 骗子. This was no prank. These were the actions of an individual completely lacking any form of empathy. He exchanged over 30,000 messages between August 12th and December 4th. But of all the conversations uncovered at the trial, Grayson's longest, most intimate exchanges, were not with DeMarcus, Jenna, Drew, or Mr. Gesualdi. When I first met Brooke, I was instantly smitten 一见倾心. We had so much in common. We had similar tastes in movies, TV. We bonded over the same critiques of Rick & Morty. She made me feel all these things I had never felt before. A conversation from October 28th, 2017. One week before the Brownout. I thought everyone at school loved you. You're the Fruit Ninja. Nobody really wants to be the Fruit Ninja. I've just never really been good at fitting in, so at some point I decided to do the opposite. And I did everything I could to convince myself that I didn't need people to like me. That's why I like you. I hate people who need everyone's approval. Maybe, but sometimes I wonder if I have anyone's approval. Even Tanner and Chloe. Sometimes I wonder if they're laughing behind my back like everyone else. I wouldn't even blame them. You have my approval, Pickle. I think I'm falling in love with you. I felt close to her in a way that I have never felt with anyone. In many ways, Kevin was Grayson's easiest target. The two had been childhood friends, so Grayson knew about Kevin's sixth grade nickname. Hey, Shit Stain McClain! Did you like that nickname? No. That name, it destroyed Kevin. And it was huge for Nick Sondergoth. And Grayson knew how much Kevin still resented the kid who created it. You changed seats, Kevin. Did you enjoy watching Nick Sondergoth poop his pants? Grayson planted the seeds for revenge. And Kevin thought he could impress Brooke by sticking up for himself. Together they laughed about how fitting 太活该了 it would be to see Nick Sondergoth and the rest of the kids who bullied him, get such a suitable 罪有应得的 comeuppance 报应( [ˌkʌmˈʌpəns] punishment that someone deserves for having done something wrong or unfair.). Love had blinded me. I was willing to do anything to impress her. She wanted me to do the Brownout, so I did the Brownout. How did it all happen? Well, she sent me the maltitol [ˌmɔːltətɔl] 麦芽糖醇. She said that it was going to work better than any store-bought 店里买来的 laxative, and that no one would get hurt. There was a fire drill scheduled for November 6th. It was the perfect opportunity to enter the kitchen unnoticed 不被注意到. I quickly found the lemonade dispenser and I deposited the maltitol. I'm ashamed to admit this, but it was thrilling. Until I was seated in the cafeteria, of course. I had no idea so many people drank that fucking lemonade (Most lemonade varieties can be separated into two distinct types: cloudy or clear; each is known simply as "lemonade" (or a cognate) in countries where dominant. Cloudy lemonade, generally found in North America and India, is traditionally a homemade drink using lemon juice, water, and a sweetener such as cane sugar or honey. In the United Kingdom and Australia, clear lemonade, which is typically also carbonated, dominates. A popular cloudy variation is pink lemonade, made with added fruit flavors such as raspberry or strawberry and giving the drink its distinctive pink color. The "-ade" suffix may also be applied to other similar drinks made with different fruits, such as limeade, orangeade, or cherryade. Alcoholic varieties are known as hard lemonade. The predominant form of lemonade found in the US, Canada, and India, cloudy lemonade, also known as "traditional lemonade" in the UK and Australia, is typically non-carbonated and made with fresh lemon juice; however commercially produced varieties are also available. Generally served cold, cloudy lemonade may also be served hot as a remedy for congestion and sore throats, frozen, or used as a mixer. ). You know, it's not even made with real lemons. Let's talk about the horchata. Did you knock over 撞翻, 打翻 Brother Buckley's lemonade on purpose? Yes. I did. Of course. He's not exactly in pristine health. Okay? I felt responsible for him. I didn't want anyone to get hurt. Did it turn out the way you anticipated? It was like a bad dream. It was soul-shaking. Did anyone else know that you were speaking to Brooke? No. I hadn't told anyone about Brooke, but obviously, DeMarcus figured it out. He didn't want me speaking to you because he was afraid. Of what? Exactly what happened. All of our pictures and conversations getting released. And when did you realize that Brooke wasn't who she said she was? I was supposed to meet Brooke. The night after the Brownout. It was the only thing that was getting me through a rather traumatic day. Where were you supposed to meet? At the Holiday Inn on Route 2. The previous day I had picked some things up at Dassey's. Is that when Tanner thought that you were buying laxatives? So what did you buy? I bought adult paraphernalia 成人玩具 ( [ˌpærəfə(r)ˈneɪliə] I. a set of objects, especially those used for a particular activity. Paraphernalia most commonly refers to a group of apparatus, equipment, or furnishing used for a particular activity. For example, an avid sports fan may cover his walls with football and/or basketball paraphernalia. II. things that are connected with an event or an institution but are not really essential.

II. American formal a condom). I didn't tell Tanner because I was embarrassed. I got there early. I texted Brooke after 20 minutes or so, telling her the room number. And I waited and waited. At 8:48 p.m. , on November 6th, Brooke sent one final message to Kevin, before blocking him. You act like you're smarter than everyone else, but everything about you is fake. The way you dress. The way you talk. You're full of shit. Just like me. I never heard from her again. And just like that I had no one. This girl that I fell in love with had never existed. Can I just ask you one more question? Well, if you did the Brownout, doesn't that mean that you shit your pants on purpose? Yeah. How do you feel now knowing Kevin's involvement in the Turd Burglar crimes? Well, I thought I was going crazy throughout the entire process. I mean, I know Kevin better than anyone, and I just knew when he was acting up. At first I was I felt really betrayed. You know? I really believed in him. And I went to bat for him (go to bat for to give someone your support and help. ). My life is very different because of how hard I fought for him. But I guess I should have just gone and talked to him about it. Instead of going to the school and ratting him out 揭发, 告发, I should have just been a better friend. Then I read his texts with Brooke and Just to see how Grayson manipulated him. And yeah, my life is different now. But it doesn't even come close to what Kevin went through. I guess I guess, I just didn't really realize how lonely he was.
What's the difference between a pound, shelter and rescue? The first step you take towards finding a great new pet for your family is finding the right kind of rescue organisation for you and your adoption needs. To help you choose, here’s a quick summary of your options. Rescue, breed rescue or foster care groups – Pet lovers saving animals: Rescue groups that call themselves 'breed rescue' or 'foster care groups' are generally a collaboration of animal-loving volunteers working in their community to provide a safety net for rescue pets. Some have kennels 动物寄养 ( [ˈken(ə)l] I. [plural] a place where dogs stay while their owners are away, or a place where dogs are bred (=kept in order to produce young dogs). II. British a doghouse.), but often (particularly in the case of foster care groups) these people care for the pets their own homes. They take in the overflow of pets from pounds and shelters, and sometimes accept surrenders direct from the public. Breed rescue groups (as the name suggests) specialise in particular breeds and are often part of a pure-breed fanciers club. As these groups are essentially volunteers, you may find that they're not always available to take your call or respond quickly to your email. However, the biggest benefit of adopting from an independent rescue group is that the animals haven't been through the stress of kennelling. Instead, their pets have been assessed in a home environment, so they can be more accurately matched to suit your family and lifestyle. Shelter – An animal-welfare-run kennel: Shelters sometimes take stray animals on behalf of local councils, but generally they are privately owned charities run by animal welfare organisations such as the RSPCA or Animal Welfare League. Shelters have kennelling facilities to hold pets and can be very large (200+ kennels) or quite small (<10 kennels). Some accept surrenders from the public, but they often have waiting lists due to space constraints. Shelters are a good place to search for a pet, as they generally assess the animal's health and temperament before rehoming 安置新家 to ensure they are fit to join a family. They also allow you to meet a number of potential pet matches in one convenient location (check shelter opening hours before planning your visit). They can be very busy organisations, so be sure to find one that's willing to spend time helping you choose the right pet for your lifestyle and keen to offer follow-up support. Pound – A pet holding facility: A pound is a council facility that holds pets seized by rangers or found wandering in the community. It's often the first place a lost pet will end up. By law, stray pets must be kept for several days to give their owners a chance to reclaim them. Some pounds handle hundreds of pets every week. Once the holding period is complete, pets are collected by local shelters and rescue groups to be rehomed or can be killed if no home or temporary accommodation is found for them (see our Safe & Sound Pounds page for more info). These facilities are open to the public and you can adopt pets direct from the pound, but be aware that they usually haven't been screened for health or temperament issues. 动物寄养: 1. farm someone out [to sb. ] I. 托付给. 转给.

Boarding kennels: This is a place where dogs are housed temporarily for a fee, an alternative to using a pet sitter. Although many people worry about the stress placed on the animal by being put in an unfamiliar and most likely crowded environment, the majority of boarding kennels work to reduce stress减压, 减少压力. Many kennels offer one-on-one "play times" in order to get the animal out of the kennel environment. Familiar objects, such as blankets and toys from home, are also permitted at many kennels. In the United States the term boarding kennel is also used to refer to boarding catteries and licensing agencies do not always differentiate between commercial boarding kennels for dogs and other animal or cat boarding kennels. 3. cattery ['kætəri] 寄猫所 An establishment where cats are kept and bred. a place where cats are bred or looked after. wiki: A cattery is where cats are commercially housed.
