I am excited for the portrait that you will be doing of me and my brother.  Have you found any good couponing deals lately?
Speaker 2
I can't wait to do that painting for you. No I haven't found any good coupons lately, but I hope to find some good ones soon.
Speaker 1
I'm sure it will be incredible! Have you been doing a lot of painting for other clients recently?
Speaker 2
I did a painting for Elton John and his dogs awhile back I was star stuck, but I managed to get through it.
Speaker 1
That's insane. Congratulations! I'm sure that job took a healthy chunk out of your student debt. 
Speaker 2
Oh, yes. Art school isn't cheap, but I have more and more professionals asking me to paint for them after that. I love painting regular people better it is just more fun.
Speaker 1
You deserve it. Hopefully the interest keeps up. I would love to see a painting of your pets. Have you ever done a self portrait with all of your pets? 
Speaker 2
Yes, it was the first really big one I did. It was how I realized I love to paint portraits.
Speaker 1
That sounds adorable! I don't think I have ever seen a family portrait with rats before. I have never understood how some people don't think they're cute.
Speaker 2
They are great little pets. But I did leave them out of the painting. Just the 5 dogs since the rats don't stay still.
Speaker 1
That does make a lot of sense. I can't imagine the dogs were too cooperative either. Are they all the same breed or do you have a big mix?
Speaker 2
I have a grant Dane, two German shepherds, pit bull, and a mixed we are not sure what he is.

Speaker 1
Tell me more about your dogs. What are their personalities like?
Speaker 2
They are very playful and energetic! I love taking them to the park and watch them run around happily.
Speaker 1
I really want a dog some day.  Did you adopt them all?
Speaker 2
Yup, all from the same shelter! What kind of dog are you looking to get? Maybe I could help.
Speaker 1
I have certain breeds that I love such as Akitas but those would only come from a breeder.  I have no real preference but maybe a pittie just because people still have negative impressions of them.
Speaker 2
Pitbulls are lovely! My pitbull is very kind and sweet, like a giant teddy bear. For me, it is all about the owner raising the dog right.
Speaker 1
Definitely true. The only dogs I've ever been bit by were a dachsund and a chihuahua.lol
Speaker 2
Same here. My friend's rat terrier bit me once and I didn't even notice until I realized the dog was hanging on my arm.
Speaker 1
I used to work at a doggie daycare and the meanest dog there was a rat terrier named Maggie.  I love dogs but Maggie...not so much.
Speaker 2
I wish I could work at a doggy daycare but between my five dogs, school and painting my life would get a little too crazy, haha.
Speaker 1
Yeah, I can imagine.  The discount would sure come in handy though.lol  Are you working on a big piece at the moment?
Speaker 2
Yup, your portrait is taking more time than I expected it to!

Speaker 1
Have you finished painting my portrait?
Speaker 2
Not yet but i will definitely finish it soon but i can tell you look really good in it. 
Speaker 1
I can't wait! How long does it usually take to do a formal portrait? Have you been keeping busy with other things?
Speaker 2
It varies from months to years if you want you know what i mean but it really depends on how much are you putting in. I got some other portraits to work on but my dogs is sick so i'm taking care of it more now.
Speaker 1
Oh no! It's always so frustrating when animals are sick because they can't tell you what's wrong or how they feel. Hopefully a vet was able to help. Are the other dogs being nice to the sick one at least?
Speaker 2
Vet did a good job but it take sometime for him to recover but yeah my other dogs are treating him pretty well, laying around him and licking him more even my rats looks worried for him. He'll nbe fine for sure. How are your petss?
Speaker 1
I didn't think rats could show that kind of niceness or emotion. Maybe I should give them a little more credit - I bet they can actually be pretty smart. The dogs at the daycare are doing well, but I'm actually in the process of now of getting kittens! I'm really excited. 
Speaker 2
Rats are smart. That's cool. Kittens are so cute but it is a lot of work, Have you decided on the breed yet?
Speaker 1
As much as I think certain breeds of cats are really smart or pretty, I think I'm just going to see what they have at the shelter. I think it's important to rescue pets when you have a chance, rather than have breeders introduce new ones. I've always loved cats, and kittens can be so playful. I hope the process moves quickly.
Speaker 2
Getting it from the shelter is an awesome decision. Yeah my hands are full but if i could ever get a cat, it would definitely be a Persian.  
Speaker 1
I don't blame you. Those are such beautiful cats. I bet it would give your rats some trouble, though! I love the idea of getting more than one kitten so that they can play with each other. I bet all your pets enjoy having the others as company when you aren't around.
Speaker 2
Haha that would be a Tom and Jerry scene in my house if i get a cat. i always think they are like secret life of pets when I'm not around. I'm pretty sure you will those love those cute fur balls.

Speaker 1
The portrait you ordered is coming along swimmingly! How are the little furries doing?
Speaker 2
They are doing well. I think I am going to paint a portrait of my great dane standing next to my pet rat lol. Do you know where you want to get your new cat from?
Speaker 1
Someone I work with at the dog daycare works at a shelter.  I think I will go there.
Speaker 2
That's great. I have gotten my pets from the shelter and they seem happy I brought them home. I have a hard time saying no to them which is why I have so many pets. Cats are easier to take care of than dogs. Do you have a name in mind for your cat? 
Speaker 1
I've thought of a lot of  names, but in the end it will probably depend on the breed and the sex.  
Speaker 2
That's true. Is pilates hard? I've always wanted to try it but I don't know if it will be too difficult.
Speaker 1
No, I don't think it's hard.  I actually enjoy it.  It's more fun than work, at least to me. You should give it a try!
Speaker 2
Maybe I will. Do you think I can start at home by watching Youtube videos, or do I need to go to a Pilates class?
Speaker 1
You can probably start with Youtube just to see if you like it.  Much better to go to a class I think though.  Of course, I'm biased. I'm in love with my instructor! haha
Speaker 2
Lol, okay I will definitely try it at home first. If I can get the hang of it, I will sign up for a class. Hopefully I can get an instructor as good as yours lol! 
Speaker 1
Well, getting some individual responses to questions and individual attention at times, I think makes a difference. But there is nothing wrong with going to youtube first!  I did!
Speaker 2
That's great to hear because I get nervous in public so I want to gain a little confidence first. It's so cool we both have pet rats! I don't meet many people who also have a rat, my friends all think I'm strange lol.
