A: Well, I'll tell you an interesting story about how I got my dog,

switchboard

switchboard
B: Yeah.
103

104
switchboard
A: I work for a university,
105
switchboard
A: and I went to, uh, Omaha, Nebraska to recruit students,
106
switchboard
A: and I had some time off in the afternoon,
107
switchboard

108
switchboard
A: and I saw these little Springer Spaniels
109
switchboard
B: Um.
110
switchboard
A: and so I decided, well, you know, this would really be a nice dog to have,
111
switchboard
A: so, when I got back home to Carney, Nebraska, I told my wife about it,
112
switchboard
A: and I said, You know, this is just a,
113
switchboard

switchboard
A: and so, we got to Omaha,
119
switchboard
A: and I decided I'd take my friend over and show him the dog,
120
switchboard
A: and so I got over there,
121
switchboard
A: and she said, Oh, that's too bad, the dog has already been sold.

124
switchboard
A: and she was in the back room,
125
switchboard
A: and so that night we had a reception for some of the, uh, potential high school students or college students,
126
switchboard
A: and, and, uh, he had the dog the whole time in his room,
127
switchboard
A: and, and I had no idea.
128
switchboard
A: And so we headed back to Carney that night,
129
switchboard
A: and the dog rode in the car
130
switchboard
A: and we stopped along the way and had a bite to eat
131
switchboard
A: and they left the dog in the car,
132
switchboard
A: and I guess while we were inside eating, Thumper just tore the heck out of the inside of the car,
133
switchboard
A: and, uh, finally we made it back to, uh, to Carney
