do you have a pet yes we have two too many at the moment um what all do you have well we have a um a dog as a golden lab and a um cat and they're both driving us crazy actually they're uh huh lot of work just a just a lot of work and the kids seem to be in so many activities that the reason for having the pets were you know for them and they don't seem to have the time to to care for them so we're at a frustration point with our pets how about you um-hum i know how that it is because until like a few days ago i had a little Miniature Pinscher oh and um my parents finally took him to Miami where they are what and um it was kind of a pain because i was taking these classes after work so i couldn't leave my dog locked up you know all day and then all night so i'm glad they took him right yeah because otherwise i would have a big mess in my apartment when i'd come home you know that's for sure they're they're a big responsibility they're really fun for especially for the kids if they have the time to enjoy them but so um-hum um-hum boy uh it's a lot of work it seems um-hum but i'm i'm single so it would keep me company that's true you know there's something you to come home to and happy to see you well i i enjoy mine if my husband's out of town i enjoy having the dog just for you know he'll he'll bark if anyone comes around or um-hum protection um-hum that sort of thing so it is a comfort from that standpoint um-hum do the cat and the dog get along or yeah they do they um um-hum they get along fine but the cat doesn't get along with anyone in the family she every time you walk by she grabs attacks your leg and just hangs on and we've had cats before we've never had one like this so i i don't know what the deal is with this cat huh did you find it or did you buy it or huh no it was a gift someone gave it to us for my daughter's birthday so um hm and we you know we had been looking for one so we were hoping to get one but this this one is kind of been a problem we live across the street from a vet and he just can't quite figure it out either so hm um-hum it is kind of strange i wonder where they got the the cat from it was um from uh um Wills Point i don't know if you're familiar with huh-uh the town you know just outside Dallas and knew somebody that lived in the country so we're wondering if maybe if they were kind of a country outside breed you know um huh um um-hum maybe they're just a little too wild or something um-hum because that's what i was wondering if you found it or not because it sounded pretty wild yeah well huh that's interesting but um does your husband hunt with the dog or anything or no no he's not a hunter he he's always liked having big dogs but um doesn't work real well in the city with small yard um-hum um-hum um-hum when we um when we get got the dog we lived out in the country and she could just run and that was fine that that worked real well yep oh how neat um-hum but now that we're in the city it's kind of hard yeah hm how long have you been living where you live um we've moved here in January hm so just not quite a year um you said you're going to school um-hum um-hum yep i i'm just at the Albany Easy Learning Center work uh-huh um i'm just taking education and psychology courses i'm a teacher and i have a bachelor's in psychology so i'm just trying to brush up on stuff to be a better teacher oh good yeah oh well that's good well i i bet your your kids do you have pets in your classroom or you don't um-hum hum-um nope downstairs they have a gerbil and a a what fish i think like a gerbil and a fish but in our particular classroom we don't have anything we have plants yeah yeah seems like our kids have mostly had um guinea pigs and that sort of thing in their classrooms and that's kind of neat you know um the whole class gets to take turns taking it home and um-hum um-hum hm and that so a little visiting pet you can you can uh have the fun of it without the total responsibility um-hum yep but that's worked well can just mess up it's cage you don't have to worry about your whole apartment right really yep um have you been trying to call in lately and it's been the same topic no um let's see i'm trying to think the last time i called in was probably um no few days ago it was cooking or something it was what cooking yeah really because i've been calling in lately and this is uh my last call that i have to make i think yeah and um every single day for probably about a week it was gun control oh gun control and i was just about to freak out you know because i already talked with someone about gun control get tired of gun control huh uh-huh you only can talk so much about gun control so hm this is true yeah well um-hum well do we go until they cut us off or
