Dogs and Backgammon

Sven: So the other day I was going to the store to pick up some groceries, and I saw Andy!

Annissa: Oh man, I haven’t seen him in forever!

Sven: Oh really? I told him he should come over to our house this weekend for some backgammon.

Annissa: Sweet, what did he say?

Sven: Uh, I think he’s gonna come over on Friday. With champagne, of course.

Annissa: Andy! Haha, that’s like his thing, he always brings champagne. Cool! He’s so hard to get a hold of. Ever since he moved out, I haven’t really seen him at all.

Sven: Hey also remember my friend David, who lives in Seattle? He’s driving down to LA, and he’s going to stop here for a night. I told him he could sleep on the couch.

Annissa: Oh cool! What’s he doing in LA?

Sven: Uh, he’s got a conference for his work, something about coffee. Coffee conference. Oh and Annissa…. he has a puppy!

Annissa: WHAT! Yes! Is he bringing it??

Sven: Yep! Yeah, I know, , when he told me he was coming I was like, oh boy, Annissa’s gonna be excited.

Annissa: Yes!! Dogs!! What kind of a dog is it? What’s it’s name? Oh my god oh my god tell me everything!!!

Sven: Haha, well her name is June

Annissa: just like my grandma!

Sven: Yeah! and she’s about 2 years old, well I’m not really sure how old she is, but she’s some kind of hound. Or something. I’ve only seen pictures of her.

Annissa: Oh, so she’s not really a puppy, if she’s two. Probably better, I mean, traveling with a puppy would be pretty difficult, you’ve got to like feed them and clean up after their poop constantly.

Sven: Hmm. yeah. She does still have lots of energy though.

Annissa: Hey so what about kitty?

Sven: I was thinking about that, I mean, I don’t think it will really be a problem, I think he’s pretty good about hiding.

Annissa: Ok, I just really don’t want anything to make him run away! I mean, that would really suck.

Sven: Yeah, I know, I told David we have a cat, and he said that he’s not really sure how June acts around cats, but also that he’ll keep her on the leash in the house. And she can sleep in the car, that’s like her second bed, like her kennel.

Annissa: Ok, yeah, and we can put kitty in somebody’s room and just close the door, or maybe he’ll just go hang out at Boots’ house.

Sven: Yeah, Boots!

Annissa: It’s hilarious that they are friends. Maybe he can ask us if he can go over there for a sleep over.

Sven: Special permission kitty. This time only. Well anyway this Friday we should play some serious backgammon!

Annissa: Yes! Dogs and backgammon, what could be better??
