Getting A Pet

A

We have been over this a hundred times ! We are not getting a pet!

B

Why not? Come on! Just a cute little puppy. or a kitty!

A

Who is going to look after a dog or a cat?

B

I will! I’ll feed it, bathe it and walk it every day! We can get a Labrador or a German Shepard !

A

What if we want to take a vacation ? Who will we leave it with? Plus, our apartment is too small for that breed of dog.

B

Ok. How about we get a cat or a ferret!

A

We’re planning on having children soon, I don’t think those animals are a good idea with a baby in the house.

B

Fine! Let’s get a bird then! We can keep it in its cage and teach it to talk! A parrot would be awesome!

A

I’ll tell you what, I can get you some hamsters and we’ll take it from there .

B

Yay!
