I am a car salesman. I enjoy murder mystery novels. My mother was a police officer. My favorite band is 5 finger death punch. Sometimes, I like to garden.
Speaker 2
I am a very easy going person who loves to partake in leisure activity. I am a dog owner who loves spending time with all animals. Furthermore, I consider my self a coffee connoisseur and love trying new ways to brew. I also enjoy going outside to run, hike, and camp.

Speaker 1
Hey there, what's your favorite band? Mine is 5 finger death punch..
Speaker 2
My favorite band is the beach boys. I listen to them whenever I go outside!
Speaker 1
I like to get outside to garden.
Speaker 2
I like to go outside to run, hike, and camp. I also spend time with my dogs!
Speaker 1
I prefer to spend my time indoors reading murder mysteries.
Speaker 2
I like partaking in leisure activities as well. I spend a lot of time making coffee personally.
Speaker 1
I enjoy cars and work at a dealership selling them..
Speaker 2
You're a car salesman? That's interesting. Is it a hard job?
Speaker 1
Yeah but not as hard as my mom's job. She was a police officer.
Speaker 2
Wow! That must be scary having your mom be a cop. Has she ever made an arrest?
Speaker 1
Yeah plenty of murder suspects, that's why I like the murder mysteries I think.
Speaker 2
I hope she's never had to deal with any animal abuse. I could never handle that myself.
Speaker 1
She's never mentioned that thankfully. Just murders of humans.
Speaker 2
Well, that's good at least. I love animals too much to see them hurt.

Speaker 1
My Mom arrested that serial killer that was loose. She caught him when she pulled him over for a broken taillight.
Speaker 2
Wow! I am so glad that they were caught. Did he try to get away when your mom pulled him over?
Speaker 1
Nope. She and her partner had their guns out and there really wasn't anywhere for him to go.
Speaker 2
That's good and what a great story for her to be able to tell. How is your job going?
Speaker 1
It's going okay. This time of year can be a little bit slow with sales. Year-end and beginning of the year are usually better. How's work for you? What do you do?
Speaker 2
I hope sales pick up for you. I run an animal shelter. It is a very rewarding job but can also be very draining at times.
Speaker 1
I can imagine! I would hate to see all the animals who come in with injuries. But I'm sure it's rewarding when one of them gets adopted, right?
Speaker 2
Of course, that is very rewarding but finding willing adopters is difficult. We also recently brought in nearly 30 dogs from one puppy mill and we are quickly running out of space. It is very hard when you can't say yes to everyone.
Speaker 1
Oh wow! Are there some animals that are more popular than others, or some that are harder to adopt out?
Speaker 2
Yes, bigger dogs are MUCH harder to adopt out. Everyone wants a cute, small dog. Puppies are also very popular. Do you have any pets?
Speaker 1
I do! I have an eight-year-old Husky/Lab mix who we adopted from a shelter before we moved two years ago. He was about a year old when we got him.
Speaker 2
I am so glad you decided to adopt! Is he a pretty active dog?

I run an animal shelter. It is rewarding but tiring. Adopting out animals can be difficult. My shelter took in many dogs from a puppy mill recently. Bigger dogs are harder to place in a home. People want puppies and small dogs.
Speaker 1
My mom was on the news for catching the serial killer!
Speaker 2
How did she catch them? Were you scared for her?
Speaker 1
He was pulled over for a broken taillight!  Criminals aren't very smart haha.  I worry about her but I know her and her partner are smart and keep eachother safe.  Now it's like she's a celebrity too!
Speaker 2
Wow, they really aren't smart. I guess you are only a criminal when you get caught. How is she handling being a celebrity? 
Speaker 1
It's different, but not going to her head.  She still has to go to work like us normal people haha.  So how's your business going?  Are you still running out of space or have people started adopting the ones you have?
Speaker 2
Still enough pace at the moment. Luckily people are adopting the animals which frees up space. It is hard work so considering getting some help. 
Speaker 1
I'm sure there are lots of people who would help.  Especially because it's such a good cause.  You might even find young adults that need service hours for school that would volunteer
Speaker 2
I wouldn't be able to pay much so it would have to be voluntary. The one thing I can't stand is seeing animals suffering which is why I set it up in the first place. 
Speaker 1
That's so nice to know there are caring people like you out there!  You wonder what would happen to those animals if you hadn't started your business!  Do you have family that could help too?
Speaker 2
I do not even want to think what would happen to them, it makes me sad. I have family but they are not as passionate as me about caring for animals. 
Speaker 1
I'm sure you'll find some volunteer help somewhere.  I'd start by posting something inside the business.  Maybe reach out to past customers asking if they know someone.
Speaker 2
That could be a good idea. The people that come and adapt generally have the same views as me. That's a really good idea, thanks.

Speaker 1
I just talked to my mom. She is flying to New York City to be on a national news show!
Speaker 2
Wow! That's awesome. Didn't she catch a criminal? That's amazing to have a famous mom. What time will the show be on? I want to see it.
Speaker 1
It'll be 8pm Eastern tomorrow. She's going to have a full weekend as always when something like this happens.
Speaker 2
I'm sure she does. Being a police officer is a dangerous job to be on. She deserves all the recognition she gets and more.
Speaker 1
I agree. But sometimes I worry that she might get hurt in a dangerous situation. But I guess that's what she signed up for. Anyway, what's new with you?
Speaker 2
I'm heading to a seminar for animal abuse. It's helping to bring awareness to how widespread this issue actually is. It's a great cause and I'm proud to be attending.
Speaker 1
I can't believe people who would abuse a helpless animal. Makes me wonder how they got the mindset to do such things.
Speaker 2
I don't understand it at all. It's sickening but it happens so often. I know some people don't like animals being in cages at shelters and the like but it's better than being in an abusive home. How's your doggie doing by the way?
Speaker 1
He's doing great but as always a lot of work. I think it is the huskie in him. He's been shedding a ton because of the summer weather, so I've got to get him to a groomer ASAP.
Speaker 2
Oh if you need a good one, let me know! I have a good friend that helps groom pets. I've been to them quite a few times.
Speaker 1
I would love to know! What's the name of the business?
Speaker 2
It's called Kyle's Grooming. They are super affordable and he will do custom jobs for a fair price. Make sure I send you the number next time we talk.

Speaker 1
I just spoke to my mom and she has an interesting story she just shared with me about her recent arrest.
Speaker 2
It must be really interesting to have a police officer as a mother. I'm sure you must enjoy spending time with her to relax when she's not busy.
Speaker 1
Yeah it is interesting. She has a lot of stories. But everyday, I get worried about her because of the nature of her job. But we spend a lot of time together when she is not working. She recently caught that serial killer that has been around the area!
Speaker 2
That's terrifying! Maybe you should take your mom out for a break. You guys can go to a dog park and relax. I like to spend time with the dogs in my animal shelter to help me relax the most.
Speaker 1
That's a great idea! What do you do with the dogs at the shelter? I love animals but I tend to avoid shelters because seeing the animals locked up makes me sad.
Speaker 2
Most of the time, I just make sure they're well-fed and given a chance to roam around in the open areas. I also invite people over if they're looking for an adoption. It's a lot of fun. They're like family. But maybe there's something else you can do for fun. What do you do to relax?
Speaker 1
Oh actually that does sound like fun! I will go to your animal shelter sometime then. My huskie has been excited to go out lately. I like to spend time washing and polishing my GTR! It is like my baby. I can take you for a ride and we can go hiking sometime!
Speaker 2
That sounds great! I like hiking and enjoying the fresh air. I like eating trail mix. I think that might be my favorite part! I'm guessing you like hiking a lot, too.
Speaker 1
I do! But I rarely get to go on hikes because we live near the city centre where my mom works. We could go hiking and camp out there a bit. I haven't been camping for a while and my huskie could really use the exercise.
Speaker 2
It's always healthy to get your pets some exercise. Maybe we can camp for the night and tell some ghost stories under the stars. I like telling spooky tales and scaring myself a little. We can cook some stew over a fire, too. How does that sound?
Speaker 1
That sounds amazing! I am quite a cook myself actually. I love watching cooking shows. And yes, spooky stories are great. I have a lot of stories from my mom. Although, they are more disturbing than scary haha. I know a few songs from Beach Boys so we can sing along!
Speaker 2
Stories and songs over a campfire underneath the stars. That sounds like a perfect night to get away from the city. What do you plan on cooking? I love a good simple beef stew. I like simple tomato soup, too.
