Todd:James, I saw on your desk you have a nice picture of a dog.

James: Yes.

Todd: OK. Tell us about your dog.

James: My dog's name is Piper. He was a mutt, a homeless dog that we picked up off the street about four and a half years ago.

Todd: Oh, wow! So what kind of dog is he now?

James: He's a yellow lab, golden retriever mix. He's very very sweet, very very fun to play with, really really nice.

Todd: Oh, that's great. Can he do any tricks?

James: No.

Todd: No.

James: We can do one trick where we point our finger at him and go & quot;Bang Bang Bang Bang & quot; and he falls over dead but that is the only trick he can do and he only does that maybe half the time.

Todd: OK. Does he bark a lot?

James: Usually, no. Usually, he's pretty good.

Todd: Pretty quiet.

James: Uh-hmm.

Todd: OK. Is it a male dog or a female dog?

James: Yeah. It's a male dog.

Todd: So, no puppies.

James: No puppies.

Todd: OK. Would you like to have another dog, another puppy?

James: It would be fun in the future but not for awhile.
