[speaker001:] Okay, um, Chuck, do you have any pets there at your home?
[speaker002:] Yeah, I do.
[speaker001:] And what kind do you have?
[speaker002:] I've got a male Siamese about a year old here. I live alone in an apartment, and, uh,
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] except for the cat.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] How about you?
[speaker001:] Well, we have a cat, um, he's probably, oh, a good two years old, big, old, fat and sassy tabby.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER] Oh. Uh, how's the disposition of your Siamese cat?
[speaker002:] Well, it's, uh, you know they're just, uh, aggressive by nature
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] and, uh, he's been neutered and declawed, so
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] he's an indoor cat, so, uh, that kind of calms him down for the most part.
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] How about yours?
[speaker001:] Well, yeah, he's, uh, he has been really aggressive, uh, especially towards my little girl, for
[speaker002:] Huh.
[speaker001:] some reason. He's, uh, been so mean to her [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] And, and you say you've had him how long?
[speaker001:] We've had him for about two years
[speaker002:] Two years.
[speaker001:] and he was so mean to her, um, right after we first got him. So we had him neutered, and, and declawed, and now he bites her. [LAUGHTER] He can't
[speaker002:] Huh.
[speaker001:] scratch her any more, he bites her.
[speaker002:] Does he bite her enough to draw blood?
[speaker001:] Yeah, yeah, he has a couple of times, so.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] But he's a very possessive cat. He, he loves my son, it's his cat, and he's the only one that allows him to touch him or pet him or love him
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] and he's so funny, he just follows my son around just like a dog.
[speaker002:] Huh.
[speaker001:] He won't even let my son shower.
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] He meows and wants to get in the bathroom and, while he showers, it's so hilarious. So he's quite a animal [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Yeah, boy, I guess. Well as long as he doesn't get too aggressive. I guess with the daughter he's all right.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] You wouldn't want him to carry her off or something.
[speaker001:] Yeah, well, we, we did, uh, actually take him to the pound a couple of times, you know
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] because we just couldn't have him being
[speaker002:] Sure.
[speaker001:] so aggressive towards the girl, but, uh, he seems to have mellowed out a little bit, and we do keep our daughter away from him. So.
[speaker002:] Yeah, yeah.
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER] Were it not for my son, the cat would not be in this house [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Is that the only pet that you have?
[speaker001:] It is, uh-huh. We, we tried a dog about four years ago, and we ended up with, uh, oh, malamute and some other kind of mix. Anyway it was, it ended up being just a huge, huge dog that ate us out of house and home. So, we gave him up and tried.
[speaker002:] Well, do you live, you, you in a house, or a place where you, uh,
[speaker001:] Yes, uh-huh, we're in a house, but we're in a subdivision
[speaker002:] I see.
[speaker001:] where we really can't allow the dog, we couldn't allow him to run free, so, he was just chained up all the time, and it was, it was
[speaker002:] Sure.
[speaker001:] unfortunate. So have you tried any other pets?
[speaker002:] No, no. I, I live alone in an apartment, and, uh, it's, it's not that big that, uh
[speaker001:] Oh [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] although I've heard rabbits are pretty good
[speaker001:] Oh.
[speaker002:] you know, I saw something on C N N or on cable here
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] a while ago that showed some people that had rabbits in apartments
[speaker001:] Oh, my word.
[speaker002:] and in houses, and they apparently, uh, especially when they're young when they bring them in
[speaker001:] Oh, my word.
[speaker002:] uh, [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] And do they, they just paper train it or something?
[speaker002:] I guess.
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] I guess, yeah, and I would imagine that they don't have many more than one to start with, either.
[speaker001:] Yeah. [LAUGHTER] Well, rabbits are darling. That would be fun if you could get them trained. Otherwise they're pretty smelly [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Yep, that's right.
[speaker001:] Oh.
[speaker002:] Did you see the, the C N N, the, the dog show, uh,
[speaker001:] Huh-uh, we don't have C, we don't have cable.
[speaker002:] I see. Well they have, uh, uh, a Wesmin-, they call it the Westminster Dog Show, uh, [child talking] I think it's in New York City at the, at the Gardens there once a year live
[speaker001:] Oh.
[speaker002:] and they had that on last week, and that's really kind of something
[speaker001:] Oh.
[speaker002:] to watch, uh, it's on, I think, two or three nights for maybe an hour or two
[speaker001:] Is that right?
[speaker002:] and some of the weirdest animals you ever want to see in there.
[speaker001:] Oh [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Some of them are really beautiful, too.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] So.
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER] Well, I'd be, interesting to watch.
[speaker002:] So you live in Utah do you?
[speaker001:] Yes, uh-huh. Elton.
[speaker002:] Goodness.
[speaker001:] We live [NOISE] out here by, it's by Ogden. It's north of Salt Lake City, Utah
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] and we really love it out here. It's, uh, kind of country. We're, we're only about ten minutes from Ogden.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] So, we're kind of country but not too.
[speaker002:] Well do you all work for T I, or for,
[speaker001:] No, huh-uh. Do you?
[speaker002:] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[speaker001:] Oh, well, see, I'm getting so many calls to Texas.
[speaker002:] This is the very first one I've, I've talked to.
[speaker001:] Oh, well, great. Yeah, I've been doing it for about two weeks and, uh, no my,
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] No my,
