Well I love to hike so I enjoy the random animals I sometimes see..

I was walking down the road and came across a poor, shivering kitten in a box. Naturally, I picked him up and took him home! He's only about 5 weeks old and I'm trying to get him to eat something. I think I might have to take him to the vet because he keeps making this wheezing sound. 
Speaker 2
That sound so sad but sweet of you of taking in the poor little kitty
Speaker 1
Yes, there is no way I could have left him, I am happy to give him a home. Have you ever rescued an animal?
Speaker 2
I never have.  It would break my heart if I seen one needing rescuing.
Speaker 1
Oh it does! So have you talked to John recently?
Speaker 2
oh, I forgot I told you about him last time we spoke. I try not to tell others about him. No, I haven't talked to him :(
Speaker 1
That's too bad, do you plan to tell him how you feel?
Speaker 2
I don't know. I need something from him that he feels the same about me.
Speaker 1
Hmm..you may only find out by talking to him. It might be a bigger risk for you not to say anything at all because he may feel the same.
Speaker 2
yea, but it is scary because he may not feel the same as I do and then nothing, not even hope
Speaker 1
Well I am sure you will figure it out. Maybe you should ask him to go for a hike with you.
Speaker 2
I was thinking about that, mentioning I am going on a hike and would he like to join me

My kitten is growing up so fast, the other day she managed to jump up onto a the sofa for the first time. 
Speaker 2
Wow! She's getting so big already! Have you trained her to do any tricks yet?
Speaker 1
Not really to be honest. I mostly just enjoy playing with her because she's so darn cute! Have you ever had a cat?
Speaker 2
I did have a cat when I was younger.  Her name was Gracie and she would actually fetch paintbrushes if you threw it across the room for her!
Speaker 1
Oh my gosh that's so cute! I just love animals. I always have since I was a little kid. I used to hold mock protests about animal rights and abuse with my friends.
Speaker 2
That is AWESOME! I love to hear about kids getting involved in their passions early in life.  Have you been a vegan since you were a kid as well?
Speaker 1
My parents used to make me eat meat and stuff when I was really little but I put on a presentation about animal rights and how it was wrong to kill them for food and they accepted that I was serious and let me live my lifestyle. I'd say I was about 11 when that happened. Have you ever gone vegan?
Speaker 2
I was a vegetarian when I was younger but never thought about fully going vegan. That was a while ago, it seems like within the last 5-10 years there have been so many new products on the market that would make going vegan a lot easier.
Speaker 1
There is a ton of stuff out there to help people whether they are seasoned or new to the life. I definitely recommend taking a look at all the items on the market. So how's John?

Speaker 1
Have you thought of inviting John to go hiking with you? 
Speaker 2
I have but I'm really nervous.  I'm scared to get rejected!
Speaker 1
Let's workshop this. Have you ever seen him with another woman?
Speaker 2
There was a woman that would come over all the time a while ago but I haven't seen her in a year or so.
Speaker 1
Okay, that's a good sign for you and it probably means he's not gay. What does he do for work?
Speaker 2
He's a doctor.  I believe he's a pediatrician.
Speaker 1
That probably means he's a nice guy. Is he very handsome?
Speaker 2
He's the most handsome guy I've ever seen in my entire life.
Speaker 1
To be honest, it's hard to believe that handsome doctor doesn't have women flinging themselves at him. 
Speaker 2
I know.  I've heard he's pretty promiscuous.  Maybe he just doesn't bring any girls home with him.
Speaker 1
Maybe he keeps a secret apartment for that type of stuff! This is all very exciting for me. My life is so, so dull!
Speaker 2
maybe I'll find out! What makes you say that?

Speaker 1
So how's everything going with you and John?
Speaker 2
I invited him over for dinner and he accepted!  I'm so excited, I hope it goes well.
Speaker 1
That's good. Are you inviting anyone else and what are you guys planning to eat?
Speaker 2
I'm thinking about making some fancy tacos or something.  I'm not sure if he's vegetarian or not so I'm going to have a little bit of everything prepared.  What do you think should I get some wine or anything?
Speaker 1
Tacos is an interesting choice and you could mix it up with different ingredients. Is he a big wine drinker? If not then you should still get some wine if that's what you're into.
Speaker 2
Yeah that's probably a good idea.  I hope it goes well, I'm so nervous.  How is the kitten doing that you rescued?
Speaker 1
Everything will work out fine don't be nervous. The kitten is doing great I just bought him some toys, treats and food.
Speaker 2
That's great!  Are you thinking of completely adopting the kitty or are you just going to foster it and then find a forever home?
Speaker 1
I'm not sure yet he's so sweet. I'll see how it goes for the next few weeks and then I'll make a decision on what to do.
Speaker 2
That's so great, it's amazing what you do, I'm so jealous I'm sure that's so rewarding.  I think I may try to go back being vegetarian again, it does make sense the more thought I give it about it being wrong to eat animals.
Speaker 1
Yes thank you. That's a great decision and something I was proud of doing when switching fully to vegan. I just can't fathom harming these sweet creatures.
Speaker 2
I know.  I've definitely given it thought and I may try it again.  I'm so glad you helped me see that.  I think it's also just a great way to live life and get nutrients too.
