text: Erick: have you ever owned a dog?
  Doug: a couple, yes
  Doug: why do you ask?
  Erick: i'm thikigng of giving Max one for his birthday
  Erick: but i don't know if he's too young for that
  Doug: dogs can be a handful
  Doug: unlike cats, they also have to be walked typically once a day
  Erick: do you think Max is capable enough to take care of a dog?
  Doug: he is too young
  Doug: i would wait a year or two
  Erick: thanks for your advice
  Erick: we'll wait
  Doug: maybe you should get him one of those drones that all the kids like
  Erick: sure, lol ;-)
target: Erick wanted to give Max a dog for his birthday. Doug talked him out of it claiming he is too young for such a responsibility.
