英语访谈对话 285 My dog

　　Todd: So, Gloria , have you ever had any pets?

　　Gloria: Yes, I have. In fact, I still have one in America right now.

　　Todd: You do?

　　Gloria: Mm-hmTodd: Yeah, what?

　　Gloria: He's a dog named Cruiser.

　　Todd: Cruiser.

　　Gloria: Cruiser.

　　Todd: OK, what's Cruiser like?

　　Gloria: Cruiser has blond hair like me, but he has dark brown eyes, and he still thinks he's a puppy but he's 11 years old and he, I think, is absolutely the best dog in the world.

　　Todd: Wow, what kind of dog is he?

　　Gloria: He is a Griffon. We got him at the humane¹ society, so he had a little note with him saying he's a Griffon, which I really don't know a lot about. It's like a miniature wolf hound.

　　Todd: OK. Cute dog?

　　Gloria: Very cute.

　　Todd: Have you ever had a cat?

　　Gloria: Yes, my first pet was a cat.

　　Todd: Uh-huh. What was your first cat's name?

　　Gloria: Ah, my first cat's name was Sally.

　　Todd: Sally.

　　Gloria: Yeah.

　　Todd: What kind of cat?

　　Gloria: Yellow.

　　Todd: Just a yellow cat.

　　Gloria: Just a yellow cat. I think some of my earliest memories were with Sally chasing her around the house, and they're not really related to anything, just running around the house chasing the cat.

　　Todd: Ah, that's cute.
