Do you have any pets?
Speak as Rob
Speak as Mike
Mike: No, I don't have any pets, but I want to get a dog.
Rob: Why don't you?
Mike: I am too busy with work. I wouldn't have time to take care of a dog. It would be home alone all day.
Rob: That's a good point. You shouldn't get a dog unless you have time to take care of it properly.
Mike: Also, I travel on business quite often. It would be a big hassle to find somebody to take care of my dog every time I traveled on business.
Rob: That's another good point. Maybe, now is not the right time for you to get a dog.
Mike: You're right. Maybe, in the future, I will get one.
