Do you have pets?

[busker]

I have a standard poodle, an English mastiff, a Chihuahua, and some kind of tiny calico cat thing.  I really want some fish, but I don't want to take care of them, I have too many animals already.  My friend lives in an abandoned house next to a real house and now has a pet possum, and some birds. Just making conversation

Do you have a house with a big backyard?
I have a medium sized kelpie / border collie cross, very popular as a working dog on Australian farms.
Only he doesn’t live the farm dog life.
I adopted him from the shelter because of the highly intelligent, questioning eyes.

A couple of guinea pigs before this. Not the most attached of pets, but one of them would occasionally lick your finger. Maybe it was for the salt. I thought it was endearing and dog like.
