I like dogs. I like cats. My favorite dog breeds are Mastiffs and Dobermans. I don't want to take care of a dog.  I am a doctor in the ER. I am working my dream job.
I am a vet. I have 4 cats. I don't have dog. I like my job.  I like dogs, in particular Mastiffs, Dobermans, and Huskies.
I was in the park the other day and a big Mastiff brought his ball over to me and his owner let me throw the ball around for a while. Wow!  That sounds so cute.  I wish I had a dog so I could go to the park and play with it like that.  I know you don't want to look after a dog but it must be nice to spend some time with one every so often.  I suppose the ER keeps you pretty busy though It does. If I had a dog he would be lonely all day. As a vet, I'm sure you know how bad that is for doggos :( Yeah you're being really sensible.  I hate seeing dogs coming in unhealthy because they don't get enough walks or attention.  Maybe when you retire you can get a whole pack of dogs!  You don't want to retire too soon though, when you find your dream job you stick with it.  It keeps me going, for sure. I love making people better. I bet you get that same fulfillment in your work. Oh absolutely, I love my job.  Helping the animals is the best feeling but I also love seeing the relief on the owners' face when they realise their pet is okay.  I hate having to give them bad news though.  I'm sure it's the same at the hospital, giving families bad news is never easy.  What do you do to wind down on your days off? I just love taking walks outdoors. I find it so relaxing. The other day at the dog park was a particularly nice walk. I hope I see that dog again. Maybe I should set up a play date :) I love walking too, I usually listen to some music or an audiobook when I'm doing it though to keep me occupied or I sometimes get a bit bored.  Hopefully if you follow the same route for a while you'll cross paths with him again!  Maybe he'll even recognise you. Haha, I hope so. Mastiffs are pretty smart and personable. Is there a good audiobook you're listening to now? I'm listening to IT by Stephen King right now.  It's super creepy but so amazing.  I'm loving it but I might not listen to it at night!  Stephen King is my favourite author.  Who's your favourite author? I'm not really into horror. I'm more into science fiction. Terry Pratchett is always good for a laugh. I haven't read anything by him yet but I'll definitely check him out.  I like Sci-Fi movies but I've never picked up any of the books.
