Oh it's a big cultural shock, but I like it a lot. How do you like San Francisco?

When I go visit my dad, I do like to go to the big bridge. I do prefer to stay near my dorm though. It is so hard to be away from my fur babies.
Speaker 2
What kind of course are you taking? 
Speaker 1
Equine science. I am thinking about going to vet school or else maybe studying more about cattle ranching
Speaker 2
So cool! I hope you fulfill those wishes. So are you an animal person?
Speaker 1
Oh yeah. I am way into all animals. I have studied some marine biology when I was on summer in high school, and got to do some scuba diving. But When I got out of HS, I decided I wanted to work with horses. Especially since my dog was bred to be a cattle animal.
Speaker 2
That sounds like the perfect work for you then! How many pets do you have?
Speaker 1
I have a dog, twin calico cats, a aquarium that is full of different creatures from the deep, a family of rats, a chipmunk, two parakeets and an ant farm. What about you? You ever had pets?
Speaker 2
Holy cow! You've got a whole zoo. I've got one dog, his name is Hank. I love him to death.
Speaker 1
Oh yeah, I meant besides him lol. I would love to hear about any other pets you have ever had. I don't quite have a zoo. I did let the owl go, and I rehomed my lizards. I do plan on getting a snake before too long.
Speaker 2
A snake?? That's cool. I also have five cats, but they're just strays that I feed outside.

I wanted to work with horses after high school. I have a dog, it's a cattle animal. I have a dog, twin calico cats, an aquarium of sea life, a family of rats, a chipmunk, two parakeets and an ant farm. I used to have an owl and lizards. I plan on getting a snake soon.
Speaker 2
I have a son. I am considering going back to college. I am British. I like classic and alternative rock genres. I have a sister. She lives in England. I have lived in the United States for 10 years. I lived in England. I live in San Francisco. I have one dog, his name is Hank. I love my dog. I have five cats. They are strays I feed outside.
Speaker 1
I am also thinking about getting some hamsters but that might get tricky when the snake comes along.
Speaker 2
Keep your hamsters in their cage and keep the snake well fed!  I think you will avoid any problems, but do you have a place for the snake?
Speaker 1
Yeah, we made room in the living room for a big tank for it. We will keep the hamsters somewhere else if we get them. I just have to figure out what kind of snake I want to get.
Speaker 2
I can't believe all the animals you have in your home!  Do you have any issues between your animals or do they all get along?
Speaker 1
They get along and we have a pretty big house and a farm. The dogs and cats usually live out in the barn, but they do like to come inside sometimes.
Speaker 2
That sounds so amazing!  I've been thinking about getting some fish and pygmy frogs. I find aquariums so relaxing.
Speaker 1
That sounds awesome. If you need some advice on them let me know. We have some frogs that live around our ponds, but never had one myself.
Speaker 2
Oh, I will be calling you for sure!  There weren't a lot of animals around me back in England, so I am making up for lost time!
Speaker 1
I can image. Animals are awesome and they help you out of depression. And just make you feel better all around.
Speaker 2
I know I wouldn't know what to do without Hank.  He never judges me and just wants me to feel happy.  Even those stray cats seem to know when I'm having a tough day.
Speaker 1
They are very good at that. I am so glad you have Hank he sounds like a really great dog.
Speaker 2
I was really lucky.  He has a mild temperament and has never really given me problems.  He can be a little protective of me, but once he knows I am in no danger, he is wonderful with strangers.

Speaker 1
I've decided that I am going to get some hamsters, too! We will just keep them in a separate room from the snake to avoid any problems. 
Speaker 2
Wow, I thought my dog and five cats was a lot of animals but you sure have me beat. How do you like living with so many animals?
Speaker 1
It's a lot of work but I love them. They're all so unique and filled with such different personalities. It's never boring here.lol
Speaker 2
What are their personalities like? Its so hard for me to imagine animals other than dogs and cats having any personality. That being said, even with my 6 pets, its already pretty chaotic in my household.
Speaker 1
Rats for example are super smart and can be trained to do tricks and recognize their own names and a few of my fish recognize me and wait at the glass to be fed. 
Speaker 2
Rats sound so scary to live with! Don't your cats want to eat them? EIther way, you're definitely prepared for your future job working with animals.
Speaker 1
Honestly they're very sweet. They'll come up to me and lick me like a dog. I hated their tails at first but their sweetness and intelligence won me over. And yes I definitely learn a lot watching them and googling when they're doing something weird to see if it's normal.lol
Speaker 2
Do you have a favorite animal out of all of them? It seems like it would be so hard to pick one. What are all of their names>
Speaker 1
Oh I could never choose right now but I don't think I could ever not have a dog though. And there are so many to name we'd be here all day but my cat's name is Pig.lol
Speaker 2
That's a hilarious name. What's your dogs name then? Do you actually use him/her for cattle herding?
Speaker 1
His name is Rogue because he does what he wants. So if he wants to herd he will and if he doesn't then he doesn't. He definitely lives up to his name.lol
Speaker 2
Aww, he sound so cute. I am a huge sucker for dogs. Hank brightens my day every single day. Does it suck living in a dorm and not getting to be with your animals?

You have hamsters? What do you mean by status
Speaker 1
When I get the hamsters I'll let you know if they are both male
Speaker 2
I see. Will they be spayed or neutered?
Speaker 1
I spay all of my animals that I bring in so they don't have babies. Except for the fish. Haha, you can't do that.
Speaker 2
How does that work for your snake? Does it effect aggression levels?
Speaker 1
It's my wife's snake. You'd have to ask her. 
Speaker 2
do you produce anything or breed on your farm?
Speaker 1
Do you feed all the strays?
Speaker 2
I do, I take good care of them. It's enjoyable for me
Speaker 1
Okay. I just found your questions kind of odd the way you were asking me. It's more acceptable to chat instead of repeat yourself I guess. That's why I replied to quickly.
Speaker 2
No problem. How do you afford all your animals?
