The younger students at my college love that band.

Speaker 1
How was your rock climbing expedition with the boys?
Speaker 2
It was great!  We had a lot of fun, although they are more avid climbers than I am.  I bet you stay busy with your baby..
Speaker 1
yes i do she is very active and love to get into everything. I would love to go rock climbing but i'm a little scared. How did you get over the fear?
Speaker 2
I was really scared in the beginning (and even not sometimes).  But my boys wanted me to do it so badly, I did it for them.  One of those motherly sacrifices...lol.  It helps to start on a small climbing wall.  Perhaps you could try that.
Speaker 1
That good advice and you right the thing we do for out love ones I will try it hopefully soon. I see you like music, what other types of music do you like?
Speaker 2
I actually love all kinds of music.  Its hard to pin it down to one kind.  This week I like 21 Pilots, but next week it may be something entirely different.  Do you like music?
Speaker 1
yes i love all types myslf and just depends on the day what kind i want to listen t but i like country, r&b and reggae 
Speaker 2
That's awesome!  I think it's really cool that you do children't book illustrations.  I am so envious of anyone who can draw anything.  It must be a lot of fun.
Speaker 1
It's loads of fun to see my work come to. I love that even when i'm good my work will live on and bring happiness to kids. 
Speaker 2
So true!  And that totally makes sense that you are studying to be a teacher.  One day a child in your class may be reading a book you illustrated!
Speaker 1
right i didn't even think of that.Yes i love kids they are just the best little people. Do you have any other pets?.
Speaker 2
No, just my dog, Leto.  He's a golden retriever.  We've had him for 4 years, and he is just the best dog.  The boys love him.  They are constant companions.  Do you have any pets?

Speaker 1
I have a baby girl. I go to college. I'm getting my teaching degree. I love kids. I do illustrations for childrens books. I am interested in rock climbing but it also scares me. I love all types of music. I like country, r&b, and reggae music.
Speaker 2
I listen to 21 pilots. I love music. I have a dog named Leto. I'm a sous chef at a casual restaurant. I am going rock climbing with the guys. I have sons. I was scared to rock climb at first.  My sons encouraged me to rock climb. I love all kinds of music. I like 21 Pilots. I an envious of people who can draw. I only have one pet who is my dog, Leto.  We have had Leto for 4 years. My male children love Leto.
Speaker 1
Did you adopt Leto as a puppy or did you get him when he was older?
Speaker 2
He was six month old when we got him, so not quite a puppy.
Speaker 1
Awe. still pretty young though. What breed is he?
Speaker 2
he is a mix terrier and maltese but i do not know what kind of terrier though.
Speaker 1
I've thought about getting a dog myself. but I think I should wait until  my daughter is a little older. 
Speaker 2
that would be best, young children do not know how to properly act with dogs. The dog may feel threaten and bite your daughter.
Speaker 1
she's been around dogs and does well. I just don't know that I have the time to commit to both of them.
Speaker 2
oh okay, you are quite busy with the daughter, going to school and illustrating books.
Speaker 1
for sure. but I still really want a pet. LOL
Speaker 2
I never cared for pets but my sons wanted one and now I do not know how I can live without one, dogs are great.
Speaker 1
I've had pets before so I know I like them. but I also know how much work they are.
Speaker 2
my Leto is a no fuss dog. Give him food and some petting and he is happy, not much work with him.

Speaker 1
Have you heard he new 21 pilots song lately?
Speaker 2
They have a new song? I must have been living under a rock this whole time, pun intended haha! Is it good? We have been taking a break from them and listening to a lot of Bill Joel on our climbs. random!
Speaker 1
Yeah, their new song is alright, but I still prefer their older stuff. I do love some Billy Joel though! Have you had any interesting climbs lately?
Speaker 2
Not really, I got a pretty bad sprained ankle so I have been taking a rest and just going along for the ride lately. Hopefully I will be back up there soon. Have you been doing any fun activities yourself?
Speaker 1
Nothing too interesting, I've just been working on a few illustrations. I'm actually illustrating a book about rock climbing, what are the chances!
Speaker 2
No way, that is so cool! Is it a fictional story or what exactly is it?
Speaker 1
It's just a cute little children's story about a rock climber and the challenges he faces climbing this one cliff. It has things like loose rocks, an eagle's nest, and a cave with bats in it. It's not to realistic, but kids will love it!
Speaker 2
Oh that sounds so cute! Let me know if you need any help with fact checking or anything!
Speaker 1
Thanks! I'll be sure to keep that in mind! I hope your ankle starts feeling better soon!
Speaker 2
Thanks, me too! I am going to take my dog for a walk today and see how my ankle is feeling. Being bed ridden is so hard when I am usually so active.
Speaker 1
That sounds like a good idea. Be sure to take it easy though, so it doesn't get any worse
Speaker 2
Yes, that's very true. I find it hard to follow doctor's orders haha! Always have! Have you ever had a big injury?

I got bad sprained ankle so I need rest. I going to consult with doctor about my ankle problem.
Speaker 1
what about your ankle problem? is that everything fine?
Speaker 2
It still hurts. Tomorrow I'll go to the doctor but I don't really trust doctors. Sometimes I feel like they just want money, you know?
Speaker 1
Yes, I understand that, though I think it's good you're going to see the doctor.  Just be careful about not abusing any prescription drugs he might give you for the pain.
Speaker 2
I won't do that. I prefer to follow a health lifestyle. I'm thinking of going rock climbing more often. Have you ever been?
Speaker 1
No, I never have.  Like I told you before, I'm scared of it but interested.  Were you able to take your dog for a walk like you planned or was your ankle hurting you too much?
Speaker 2
We went on a walk, we just had to go slower than usual. My dog seemed pretty annoyed with me. 
Speaker 1
Haha.  That's funny.  I can just picture Leto pulling on the leash really hard and then looking back at you disapprovingly.
Speaker 2
Haha, yeah. That's pretty much how it was. He's a funny dog. So have you put more thought into getting a dog?
Speaker 1
I have.  After we talked about it I kept thinking about it.  I just think I've got too much going on right now, what with being in school and having a baby.  I'lll wait until she's older and things are less hectic.
Speaker 2
That's fair. But you know, I grew up with a dog since I was a baby and I think it was great. I'm sure your baby would also have a great experience. Some dogs are great with kids.
Speaker 1
That's true.  If or when I get a dog I'll definitely be cognizant of the breed and how they're known to be with children.  I do want my daughter to have the experience of having a pet as a child.  But I also think it's enjoyable to be able to remember when you first got a dog.  If I got a dog now she wouldn't have that memory--she's too young.
Speaker 2
That makes sense. I've heard that corgis are really great with children! Plus, they are so adorable. But it's better to get a dog from the shelter, in my opinion.
