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-hm
Todd: 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 humane 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.
