I teach 9th grade. I am a woman. I am a gardener and hiker. I like to hike with my dogs at the park. I do not like dogs, i like parrots. i bring my parrots with me to the gym. I have dogs. I can help people learn how to care for parents.
I do not hike. I hate hiking. I only have time for the gym. I need a good workout and would like a change of scenery. I do not like dogs. I'm not sure if I'm ready for the long-term responsibility of a pet. I'm more open to getting a dog as a pet than a parrot.
I haven't worked out yet today if you'd like to try that gym together! I haven't hit the gym yet today either. That sounds like a good plan. Do you want one that offers classes? Yes, I do. I like classes because I like working out with other people, and my parrots. I have never been to a gym with someone and their parrot. This will be interesting. Do you like water aerobics? Parrots are friendlier than so many other animals, like dogs. I have tried it before. I actually prefer going out on hikes in the nearby mountains to spending time in the pool doing water aerobics. Outdoors is always nice. I bet your parrot wouldn't like the pools anyways. I am a little afraid of committing to a pet. I think I would do better with a dog than a parrot but I need more research before I make that desicion. Why don't you like to hike? I understand your fear of commitment. Dogs can be great friends, but parrots are simply my preference. I just like the gym better because of the air conditioning. I don't like to be too hot. I bet a parrot is a good pet. I just like dogs the best out of all the pet options. How long have you had your parrot? I like the loyalty of the parrot. It is a gym buddy who can lift heavy and spot you, too. I have had my parrot for 6 years now. Wow 6 years. Do you take your parrot to other places too?  Yes I can take him outdoors to the park or on hikes. I am not afraid of him flying away and leaving me. I trust him. I got him shortly after my wife passed away. What a good friend and pet. What is his name? I can't believe he is that loyal that he won't fly away.
