Speaker 1
Hello, I just got done working out at the gym. What are you doing?
Speaker 2
Getting ready to take my dogs bounty and snickers to the park for a run.
Speaker 1
Cute! I wish I owned dogs. That sounds like fun.
Speaker 2
I love dogs. Being an only child they were my family growing up.
Speaker 1
Awe, my husband and I work to much and can't have pets.
Speaker 2
I understand. Where did you go to school?.
Speaker 1
I went to school in texas, for nutrition..
Speaker 2
I studied art history in france and spain.
Speaker 1
Cool, that was probably a great experience.
Speaker 2
Yeah, I was a navy brat so I got to travel quite a bit..
Speaker 1
Cool, where else have you lived?
Speaker 2
Kuwait, hawaii, california, and florida.
Speaker 1
I like to travel too, but only where my jeep wrangler will take me.
Speaker 2
I'd love a jeep. Right now I use mass transit to get around.

Speaker 1
How did living in Kuwait compare to living in the more "western" areas?
Speaker 2
The biggest difference would be having to learn a new language. However, I was able to adjust. Have you ever learned a new language?
Speaker 1
I learned a lot of Spanish, believe it or not, when I lived in Texas! Since its so close to the border you easily can pick up on it.  Although I do want to go to Italy this summer and thought it would be fun to learn a little before I do that.  Do you have any vacations coming up?
Speaker 2
Yes, I am planning a trip to Japan in the summer. With all my traveling, it's surprising that I have never been to Asia before!
Speaker 1
Wow well that sounds like a bucket list trip! Will you be visiting any art museums while you're there?
Speaker 2
Yes, I have a few planned that I am going to see. When you travel, do you visit art museums?
Speaker 1
Not typically! I tend to stick to outdoor adventures.  Last time I visited Mexico we went offroading on 4 wheelers, that is more what I love to do! How are your dogs doing?
Speaker 2
They are doing great, and I can tell they are looking forward to a good vacation. Will you be getting a dog soon or do you not have the time?
Speaker 1
I didn't know your dogs traveled with you, how cool!  Between traveling and work, we decided not to get a dog.  We are looking into getting a cat though, they seem a little bit easier to take care of! Sounds like they don't want you around most of the day anyhow, haha! Have you ever had a cat?
Speaker 2
I have actually not had a cat. I feel like they would not get along well with my dogs, so I'll probably just stay a dog person. 
Speaker 1
I feel like I don't meet many cat people! They definitely are not as friendly as dogs are, that's for sure. That sounds like a good idea, don't mess up a good thing!
Speaker 2
That is the goal! But I do know that cats are very lovable, and I'm sure it will be perfect for you!

Speaker 1
My coworker happens to know someone with kittens. I might go meet them.
Speaker 2
That sounds like a wonderful idea. I had a friend at school whose parents fostered kittens, and they were so cute to visit although I don't think I could handle so many myself.
Speaker 1
Do you really think so?
Speaker 2
They had about fifteen of them at once! And the kittens need a little more care when they're young. Maybe one day I'd foster a dog.
Speaker 1
Woah That is a lot of kittens! 
Speaker 2
Yes! Does your coworker enjoy having kittens?
Speaker 1
Yes my coworker says it's such a joy! 
Speaker 2
Do you have good relatioships with your coworkers?
Speaker 1
Most of them yeah we have a Jeep owners club! 
Speaker 2
That's so cool. I bet it's nice to have a group to do things with outside of work!
Speaker 1
It's super fun, considering most of the time I spend is with them working it's quite fun to have them as friends outside of work! 
Speaker 2
Nice! What do you do as part of the Jeep owners club?

Speaker 1
You are so right about the kittens I took only four home to foster for a couple of days and give my coworker a break and it lasted one night, they are a lot of work to foster.
Speaker 2
Four at once? That's a big jump from having no pets! Are they still babies? Do you need to bottle feed them and stuff?
Speaker 1
Yeah, it's a lot of work! They're not quite babies anymore, but still very young. They don't need bottle feeding anymore, luckily.
Speaker 2
Oh, phew. They must be in the explorer stage, then, getting into trouble everywhere. Have you named any while they stayed with you?
Speaker 1
No, we haven't thought of any names yet. I'm not even sure if I should be the one naming them, since I may not be keeping them. There is one I especially like though.
Speaker 2
Oh? What caught your attention about that one?
Speaker 1
It seems a bit friendlier with me than the others and there's just something about the way she looks at me that makes me feel like she's chosen me. I'm sure that must sound kind of strange though.
Speaker 2
No, I completely get it! When I was searching for a second dog, I really wanted a puppy. But I was at the local shelter and locked eyes with with this adult goldendoodle and he just melted my heart. That's how I brought Snickers home, he's my chocolate boy.
Speaker 1
That sounds so sweet. Maybe I will have to keep this cute little one then. I guess I will have to come up with a name after all.
Speaker 2
What coloring is he? Maybe I can help you come up with some good ones!
Speaker 1
This kitten is black and white. I'll have to send you a photo later.
Speaker 2
Hmm, just like a panda! Well, if you decide to keep her, I'd love to come over and meet her! Maybe I'll even bring Bounty and Snickers.

My kittens don't need bottle feeding any more. I haven't named my foster kittens. I really like one of them in particular. I am considering keeping the foster kitten that I really like. My favorite kitten is black and white.
Speaker 2
I have two dogs named Bounty and Snickers. I have a goldendoodle named Snickers. I felt a special connection when I first met him at a shelter. I am an only child. I studied art history in France and Spain. I had a parent in the Navy. I moved around a lot as a child. I have lived in Kuwait, Hawaii, California and Florida. I like Jeeps. I use mass transit to get around. I learned a new language. I am going to Japan in the summer. I travel a lot. I have not been to Asia. I will visit art museums in Japan. I have dogs.

Speaker 1
What kind of dog is Bounty?
Speaker 2
He's a beautiful white German Shepherd. He's very unusual looking. You don't see many of those out there.
Speaker 1
That sounds very unusual and unique! I never have seen a white one before! Most of them are brown and black. What kind of dog is Snickers?
Speaker 2
He's a Goldendoodle, so he's a bit smaller than Bounty. How is the cat fostering going? Are you keeping your sanity with all of those kittens running around? lol!
Speaker 1
Ah, I've never seen a goldendoodle though, so I don't know what they look like! Are they brown and gold? Or more gold? The kittens are going crazy! They like hiding in boxes and pouncing on me. They unplugged my router and shredded toilet paper!
Speaker 2
Goldendoodles are a mix between a poodle and golden retriever. Mine looks very much like a poodle, with the same fur as one, but is colored like a Golden Retriever, and a little smaller than one too. And I love kittens, but I don't think that I could have 4 of them without losing some of my sanity. lol!
Speaker 1
Oh, thanks for the explanation! I don't see many dogs, and the pictures online wildly vary! Kittens can be a handful, but they are worth it! They will all come cuddle me when I am working on the couch on my laptop. It's so cute! 
Speaker 2
Have you given anymore thought to keeping the black and white one?
Speaker 1
I changed my mind, and decided I like the orange one best! He is so loyal, and follows me around. He purrs extremely loud and never causes trouble, just wants to sleep. The black and white one, who I call Pepper, is too energetic. She like to unroll things, shred paper, and rip up plastic when she is bored. I don't think I could keep her company all day!
Speaker 2
Oh, so you finally decided to give them names, then? What is the name of the orange one, then?
Speaker 1
Yes, I became really good friends with them, and gave in, and named them! My husband says I shouldn't, or else I will get attached to them, but I still did. He has a little crescent over one eye, so I call him One-Eyed Jack. 
Speaker 2
He sounds absolutely adorable. I'm sure that he'll become a great companion. Any idea how much longer you're going to have to foster the other kittens?
