Lucinda非常喜欢宠物，有小狗和小马，给她的生活带来许多欢乐，听她介绍一下吧。

Todd: So, wait, Lucinda, you said you lived in the country, and you said you could not have pets at your house?

Lucinda: Yes, because we didn't own our house and we're on kind of a nature reserve so that any animal that could be dangerous to the wildlife like a cat or a dog or even a large rat would be a problem for the environment so we couldn't have any pets apart from chickens.

Todd: OK, but I thought that you said you had many pets and you're an animal lover!

Lucinda: Yeah, I do have pets but they didn't live with me most of the time.

Lucinda: My parents are divorced so my father lived in the city and he had a cat which he named after me and my brother, and then he also had a dog which was a schnauzer, that's quite a rare dog from Germany, and yeah, that was a really cool dog.

Todd: Oh, wait, that's cool, so at your dad's house you had a cat and a dog? (Yeah) And you said he named them after you and your brother?

Lucinda: Yeah. The cat's name is Lugi and my name is Lucinda and my brother's name is Giles so it's like "Lu-Gi". It'spretty weird?

Todd: And what did he name the dog?

Lucinda: Ah, the dog's name was Boeing? It's actually, it's father was a Australian show champion, so it's show name was Boeing 747.

Todd: Oh, cool, like the plane. Oh, sweet. So you only had pets at your father's house?

Lucinda: No, I also had pets at my auntie's and my grandparent's house.

Todd: At your auntie's and your grandparent's? What pet did you have at your auntie's house?

Lucinda: Ah, I had a horse.

Todd: A horse!

Lucinda: Yeah, my had a, she's from America and she had, she always had horses in America, and when she came to New Zealand, she, the first thing she did was buy me a pony, so I've had that pony since I was about 7 years old.

Todd: You still have the pony? What's the pony's name?

Lucinda: Lady. share her with my cousin now because my auntie has had more children so I share them, but yeah, I have a horse at my aunties house.

Todd: Is it a good pony? Is it easy to ride?

Lucinda: I can't ride it anymore. It's a bit small now. It's about the size for a seven-year old, so pet is now is about all I can do.

Todd: Well, what about your grandma's? What did you have there?

Lucinda: My grandmother had a cart horse. My grandmother used to train race horses so she actually had an old cart horse which I used to ride on the cart all the time and she also had a cat and a number of farm dogs but my grandfather wouldn't let me near the farm dogs because farm dogs are not meant to go near kids or other humans because they're meant to be taught only by they masters but I ruined about five of his dogs because the liked me better than him and so he wasn't too mad but they were really good sheep dogs until they met me because they'd actually run away from, cause I live with my grandparents for couple of months, and they'd actually run away from him when he was using them on the fields to meet me at the bus stops, so

Todd: Well, you have special gift with animals.
