Pets [Conversation Questions]
Hi! My name is Nastya and I want to answer some questions on different topics and share it with you. If you learn Russian you can answer them too, but in Russian and I could fix them.
* Do you have a pet?
Yes, I have a dog. His name is Joe and he is a dachshund. I heard that also that type of dog is called weiner dog. His color is dark-brown with light-brown area.
* How old is it?
He is 2 years old and he is very active dog.
* Where did you get it from?
My boyfriend bought him from one lady. Joe is not a thoroughbred dog with champion-parents but he is smart and good dog.
* Who takes care of it?
Mostly I and my boyfriend. Our friends love to play with him. He is very friendly and he likes everyone.
* What are the pros and cons of keeping a pet?
Each day two or more times per day you need to go with him to walk. It`s good to health and motivate you to be more sporty but sometimes you want to stay at home and sleep longer.
After work somebody need to go home and sometimes you couldn`t join your friends which were going to bar or a restaurant. Travelling become more complicated because you need to ask someone to carry of him. If you travel with pet you couldn`t visit some places because there are a lot of places where is not allowing a dog.

Pets [Conversation Questions]
Hi! My name is Nastya, and I want to answer some questions on different topics and share them with you. If you are learning Russian, you can answer them in Russian as well, and I could fix them.* Do you have a pet?
Yes, I have a dog. His name is Joe and he is a dachshund. I heard that this type of a dog is also called a wiener dog. His color is dark brown mixed with light brown.
* How old is he? (Some people refer to their pets as "it," but that's becoming less common. Most people use "he" or "she".)
He is 2 years old and he is very active dog.
* Where did you get him from?
My boyfriend bought him from one lady. Joe is not a purebred dog with show dog parents, but he is smart and is a good dog. ("thoroughbred" is used for horses)
* Who takes care of him?
Mostly my boyfriend and I. Our friends love to play with him. He is very friendly and he likes everyone.
* What are the pros and cons of keeping a pet?
You need to take him out for walks two times or more per day. (since "each day" and "per day" are synonymous, you can just pick one) It's good for your health and motivates you to be more active, but sometimes you want to stay at home and sleep in. ("sleep in" = stay in bed)
After work, somebody needs to go home and take care of the dog, which means you sometimes can't join your friends who are going to a bar or a restaurant. Travelling becomes more complicated, because you need to ask someone to take care of him. And if you travel with a pet, you can't visit certain places because there are lots of places where dogs are not allowed.*
*or you can say: "there are lots of place where dogs are prohibited from entering*
