Speaker 1
Hi how are you today?
Speaker 2
Good, just on my lunch break, what are you doign?
Speaker 1
I just got back from walking my dogs, eat anything good?
Speaker 2
Yes, left over bbq, what type of dogs?
Speaker 1
A jack russel and weiner dog named bounty and snickers!
Speaker 2
Cute, my kids want a dog, my brother's dog just had puppies.
Speaker 1
That is cool, do you plan to give them one of your brothers puppies?
Speaker 2
I believe we are, it will be fun.
Speaker 1
Do you guys happen to travel at all?
Speaker 2
No, I travel a lot for work. Do you?
Speaker 1
We used to for my parents work. It ended up taking me to france and spain!
Speaker 2
That is cool, do you learn spanish and french?
Speaker 1
Kinda had to, since I was in school in both areas, it was quite the learning experience.
Speaker 2
That sounds amazing, that is probably very helpful.

Speaker 1
I'm entering Bounty into a dog show next week!
Speaker 2
That sounds pretty exciting! What kind of stuff does he have to do for the show?
Speaker 1
It is mostly agility stuff and some tricks. We have been doing a lot of practicing so I think he has a good shot at winning!
Speaker 2
That's really neat. Do they look at his coat and his form and stuff too? What kind of tricks does he do?
Speaker 1
They do judge his form. He does quite a few tricks, he will mimic what I do, he rolls, shakes and gives high fives. Right now we are working on him walking on a tight rope! Do you have any pets?
Speaker 2
A dog tight rope walking? Now that I need to see! I don't have any pets. I have 5 kids! If we got a pet you can guess who would be taking care of it!
Speaker 1
Oh man, you have your hands full! What types of things do you and your kids like to do for fun?
Speaker 2
I travel all week so we make sure to spend lots of quality time together on the weekends. We go to the park and grill out and have picnics.
Speaker 1
That sounds like fun! Are they all in school?
Speaker 2
Yes, they are 12, 10, 9, 6 and 5 so we just got the last one in school full time! Do you have any kids?
Speaker 1
No, it will probably be a long time until I have kids since I am not currently dating. My dogs might get a little jealous, too! 
Speaker 2
That's true. That's a big reason we don't have any pets. The kids need too much attention and the dogs would be neglected!

Speaker 1
My dog just learned how to walk on his front paws!
Speaker 2
Oh cool! Which dog? Bounty or Snickers?
Speaker 1
The show dog. Maybe I'll record some of the tricks and send you the video for feedback, perhaps from your kids.
Speaker 2
Oh they would love that, thanks! They keep asking for a dog, but with so many of them and with traveling so much for work, we just don't have the time.
Speaker 1
I can imagine. The only possible upside is that the kids learn responsibility by taking care of the dog. Is your work travel domestic or international?
Speaker 2
Normally domestic, but they are actually sending me to Spain next month for a week. I'm very excited. Do you have any recommendations of things I should see while I am there?
Speaker 1
Let me look through my stuff and I'll send you some. Gotta try the fancy ham they have out there. I love how old everything is. Got your passport ready?
Speaker 2
Thank you, that would be great. I'll definitely try the ham, I love to eat! It just came in the mail. Speaking of traveling, do you have any dog shows coming up?
Speaker 1
Not for another couple of months, so hopefully they start learning a little faster. So who's going to watch the kids while you're away?
Speaker 2
My brother is coming in to help out with his new wife, she is a teacher and great with kids, too. 
Speaker 1
Oh, that's awesome. Have they been together? Maybe it'll be a good test for them?
Speaker 2
I think so, too. They would like to start a family soon, so this should be a great way to test the waters. They also have a dog that they're going to bring, so that should be entertaining for them, too. Any tips I should give them about taking care of the dog?

I had a BBQ. I have more than one child. I have a brother. My work involves lots of travel. I travel domestically primarily for work.  I have an upcoming work trip to Spain. I travel all week. I like to do things with the kids on weekends. I have 5 kids. My kids are in school. My kids ages at 12, 10, 9, 6 and 5. I have no pets. My kids need lots of attention. I have a brother who is married.  My brother's wife is a teacher. My brother wants to start a family.  My brother and his wife have a dog.
Speaker 1
Any news on the trip to Spain?  Have you determined any of the restaurants you plan to eat at?
Speaker 2
I have not, my family and I cannot decide what we want to eat when we are in Spain. My kids all have very different tastes, and they are very picky eaters.
Speaker 1
Well, Spain has a lot of good ham you can try when you get there, maybe they might like that. 
Speaker 2
I would hope so, otherwise they might end up eating nothing more than cheese and crackers. Thankfully, they are not so picky when it comes to activities. They always seem to have fun doing just about anything.
Speaker 1
So there is some hope then, haha. Anything in particular you're looking forward to doing as a family?
Speaker 2
We definitely want to see the many beaches of Spain, we normally don't get the chance to go to a beach back home.
Speaker 1
Great idea! I love the beach, and Spain has quite a few good ones. I had the best paella on a beach in Catalonia a few years back. Glorious memory.
Speaker 2
That sounds like a blast. Hopefully my family can remember this trip for many years to come. Do you have any upcoming trips planned for this summer?
Speaker 1
A friend of mine is asking me to go to Portugal but I'm not sure if I should. I don't know the language, and I always feel funny taking trips when I have to leave my dogs somewhere.
Speaker 2
You don't need to know the language of a country to have a good time there. I am sure Portugal is very accomodating of English speakers. Do you have a friend or a family member that normally takes care of your dogs when you are away?

I want to take my family to the beach in Spain. I think Portugal is accomodating to English speakers.
Speaker 1
Have you had any luck deciding where to eat when in Spain?
Speaker 2
Not yet, maybe somewhere on the beach where my kids can run around while we eat.  Have you decided to go to Portugal?
Speaker 1
Yes! My friend will be meeting me in Lisbon and we're going to have catch up and sight see together. Have you narrowed down where you want to go in spain yet?
Speaker 2
How exciting!   I think we are going to Barcelona and maybe branch out from there.   I need to read some guide books!   How is your dog?  What happens to them when you travel?
Speaker 1
I recommend Valencia if you're thinking about the beach, it's not too far from Barcelona. I leave my dogs with my sister, who knows how to care for them properly. I once boarded them on a short trip and they both got kennel cough, and they had to sit out the rest of the dog shows that season. it was awful!
Speaker 2
Thank you for the advice!  I really appreciate it. I'm glad you can leave your dogs with someone you trust!  I used to have pets and also had a bad experience with boarding.   Have your dogs ever won any  awards at their dog shows?
Speaker 1
Bounty has won a few agility awards for running the course, and Snickers...well, Snickers is very sweet.
Speaker 2
Ha!  Cute:)   I am thinking of getting a dog since my children are getting older and can help more.  Any advice on how to start looking for a good breeder?  Or is a shelter best do you think?
Speaker 1
There are a lot of dogs in shelters that need homes, and i feel like a hypocrite for saying that since I got both of mine from breeders. I think it depends on your children and if they have any special needs that a special breed of dog can help with. Shelter dogs can be great, and the cost is certainly low, but sometimes they can come with some bad habits that you'll need to train out of them
Speaker 2
Ok thank makes total sense.  Maybe I should look for a younger shelter dog that may not have a lot of bad habits yet, but that still needs a home. I would really like to rescue an animal.    Have you been to any beaches lately?  Do you like to swim or surf?  
Speaker 1
I like the beach, but I never get in the water, lol. I think feeling the spray every once in a while is good enough for me. What do you like doing at the beach?
Speaker 2
I like sitting on a beach chair, reading a book and having a nice drink!    I usually just watch my kids play while I sit back and relax.
