Erick: have you ever owned a dog?
Doug: a couple, yes
Doug: why do you ask?
Erick: i'm thikigng of giving Max one for his birthday
Erick: but i don't know if he's too young for that
Doug: dogs can be a handful
Doug: unlike cats, they also have to be walked typically once a day
Erick: do you think Max is capable enough to take care of a dog?
Doug: he is too young
Doug: i would wait a year or two
Erick: thanks for your advice
Erick: we'll wait
Doug: maybe you should get him one of those drones that all the kids like
Erick: sure, lol ;-)
Erick wanted to give Max a dog for his birthday. Doug talked him out of it claiming he is too young for such a responsibility.
