[speaker001:] when I was growing up I had a German shepherd that was everybody my mom brought the dog for herself but the dog didn't like anybody except me
[speaker002:] um
[speaker001:] and I was the only child so me and that dog were just like best friends and unfortunately we had to put here out because she got to old but I did want any dogs after that and then when I got married yes I know a chicken that's my young that's my older son but um I just dogs and horses are the only kind of pets I really enjoy
[speaker002:] yeah um I got the the Airedale or my husband for a Christmas present and the peekaboo was mine for my girls and me I guess and um you know we don't have any now I just got to where um I couldn't afford to feed them you know and um that have to be groom both dogs had to be groomed cause of there hair and
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] that gets very expensive very expensive to groom
[speaker001:] oh I know that feeling
[speaker002:] oh and it just
[speaker001:] I have to do that with the cocker cause I use to have a cocker to and
[speaker002:] uh-huh it just didn't fit into the budget
[speaker001:] it would fit into my mines right now either with two kids it's like
[speaker002:] uh-huh no that what I have I have two girls and it just
[speaker001:] oh really I have two boys
[speaker002:] yeah didn't um didn't fit but we enjoyed them when we had them you know
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] planning you know
[speaker001:] we got the Lab when it was a puppy for our boys
[speaker002:] was fun uh-huh
[speaker001:] and my my oldest son just insisted he had to have a puppy so we got him a Lab because that's a good children dog
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] and my friend down the road back home in Arizona breeds cocker spaniels
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] and she said as soon as I got back home I could have my pick
[speaker002:] oh okay
[speaker001:] I'm waiting to get my cocker from her
[speaker002:] that would be good now we got the peekaboo as a puppy but the Airedale was was pretty much grown
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] she was a couple years old and um she had been trained and everything before we got her
[speaker001:] is she papered
[speaker002:] huh
[speaker001:] does she have her papers
[speaker002:] yeah but she um she was from a really good family to of of dog you know if that you know whatever you want to call it but
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] um the only thing was one she was she was use to being on a ranch a big wide open and then I brought her to our our duplex and we had a fence in back yard
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] and so the only problem with her was when you open the gate she was gone
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] and this dog if the said sit she'll sit you said lay she she'll lay you tell her go get in your pin she'll go get in her pin and she wouldn't come out but if you got her out behind the fence or behind the house inside the house she would not come when you call her it would just be she's gone she's gone and she's gone that's it she open up she open the gate by herself you know she would take her nose and flip it open and get out
[speaker001:] really not very many learned how to do that
[speaker002:] she was very smart
[speaker001:] I know my shepherd did and it it just really floored me when it it happen
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] because I went out there to feed here one mourning and she was just gone
[speaker002:] she was just gone
[speaker001:] and I was like Reba Reba where in the heck are you
[speaker002:] I was about to die I thought my goodness we've only had this dog one day two days and she's already gone and I spent all day looking for her
[speaker001:] I thought somebody stole Reba at first because she was a black and silver shepherd and they are really hard to come by
[speaker002:] they are
[speaker001:] and she was you know she had her papers and everything and I thought somebody stole her at first
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] and then I she came wondering back later that day with a rabbit in her mouth and just went right back into her pin
[speaker002:] oh my goodness
[speaker001:] and I went out there the next mourning to feed her and I put her food in there and I walked out the gate and pretty soon I heard the gate slick open and she comes walking out behind me I was like
[speaker002:] um
[speaker001:] well that isn't going to work
[speaker002:] no they used Molly um this is a dog that um John my husband aunt had brought and that's how I had got her I couldn't have afforded to buy her I mean they are expensive
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] and um so
